Eisenhower Reds Advance For four weeks Americans had picked up their morning newspapers and read about the Communist advances in Korea. Now. as the fifth week of the conflict began, the Reds continued to make advances, but not with the ease of the early weeks of the invasion. The military picture in Korea was not bright by any means, but at the same time, it was not so hopeless as it seemed a few days ago. The Communists had advanced into Yongdong, about 20 miles south of fallen Taejon, on the central front. Along the western coast, the Commies advanced south to Mokpo on the southern tip of Korea. On the northern front that touches the east coast. Yongdok, captured by American forces, was retaken by Red troops. North Korean troops had captured s of South Korea and were continuing steady pressure upon American and South Korean troops. The line was slowly being pushed back toward the main American supply port of Pusan. According to U. S. military experts, however, the picture had its brighter side. They pointed to the number of reinforcements that have reached Korea, the telling blows of the U. S. air force on supply lines and tanks, and the success of the bazooka against Red new tanks. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, commander of United Nations forces in Korea, made the statement that the Communists have lost their chance for victory. A new view of the conflict has been taken by the Pentagon. At first the Korean affair was looked upon as a minor fight which this country could take care of in six months. That estimate has been revised sharply upward. There is no lack of optimism over the eventual result, but there is a clearlv defined desire to discourage any thought of a swift victory. In fact, some military authorities report it may be next spring before an offensive can be launched and as many as 200,000 men may be used Continue to Climb To the average American, the man who has a definite income within which he must live, a new and serious worry has appeared. Prices have continued to climb since the beginning of the Korean war, not as fast as the first davs after the opening of the conflict, but a steady upward spiral that is beginning to cause hardship for those with low incomes. Gen. Dwlght Elsenhower, president of Columbia University and a national defense consultant of President Truman, wears a quizzical expression as he Is Interviewed by newsmen. He does not see today's Korean fighting as necessarily the start of World War III, but Insisted "we've got to win", lie added, "If our forces In Korea are defeated the entire world will be thrown Into another great war." TRUMAN: Report to Congress President Truman in his message to congress on the Korean situation called for $10,000,000,000 down payment on a vast mobilization drive to win the war and combat any Red aggression elsewhere in the world. He left no doubt in the minds of Americans, and the world In general, about the situation when he said: "The free world has made it clear, through the United Nations, that lawless aggression will be met with force.

The creeping advance widened out through the list of goods, clothing and food. Only a few items essential to America's standard of living remained at the level of the first frightening days of the Korean conflict.
