CHINESE HORDES ONLY 11 MILES FROM SEOUL soo,000 REDS ARE PI SHING TOW ARD SOUTH KOREAN CAPITAL TOKYO. Jan. 2.—(UP) — Crack Chinese troops spearheading a SOO.000-man Communist offensive stiMimhed within 11 miles of Seoul today and the South Korean capital’s fall appeared near. The defending U. S. 8th Army reeled back in retreat up to 11 miles all along the 140-mile iront across Korea under furious assault by Chinese and Korean Reds twice their number. South Korean President Syngman Rhee called his cabinet into special session in Seoul to await word from the U. S. embassy on final abandonment of the capital. Civilians streamed south from the city by tens of thousands. Launched New Year’s Eve. the Communist offensive already had carried half-way from the 38th parallel to Seoul, split up and trapped parts of two South Korean divisions and ripped big holes in the 8th Army lines from coast and coast. An 8th Army spokesman said the United Nations forces still were making “limited withdrawals'' today and culled the general situation “serious, but not critical." He said the 8th Army troops withdrew in orderly fashion to stabilize their lines. Front dispatches said development on Ihe eastern end of the front were “more serious” than alxive Seoul, where the main nemy effort was concentrated. Tile Red forces in the east apparently were trying to turn the 8th Army's flunk and cue Seoul's main reinforcement and supply lines running from Teagu and Pusan in the southeast. Up to three enemy divisions — 'iff nou men siaslieu <)iir* the United Nations forces south of Yongpo, 73 miles east northeast of Seoul uid 25 miles inland from the east coast But a security blackout cloaked progress of the buttle. Field advices indicated that allied ni'iial counter-attacks had slowed hut failed to stop tho Communist advance. The Far East Air Forces flew a record 812 sorties against the enemy in the past 24 hours. They "laugh!ered the advancing Communists by the thousands, but even more took the place of their deaii cotnradea. Allied pilots estimated they kill*'d or wounded 2.650 Red troops, but ground observers put the toll at twice that. Allied artillery, tanks and small arms added to the carnage, hut still the enemy came. “The attack Is being pressed . . . with complete disregard for losses, which have been extremely heavy,” Gen Douglas MacArthur’s headquarters said in a communique 'lli*' communique confirmed Hurt fiv* Chinese armies and a minimum of three North Korean corps had launched the all-out against the 8th Army’s transKorean line New Year's EVe.
