They were massing for the assault across the Han River. United States Marines still held Kimpo airfield, Korea's best, 15 miles northwest of Seoul, against live Red Korean attacks. Then they stabbed to the north bank of the Han River. The airfield is already in operation and sev eral Allied planes have already landed there. The North Koreans are en deavouring to defend Seoul with out artillery support but have some mortars, United States officers said. " The Reds are rushing rein forcements into Seoul. An Eighth Army cemmuni tque reported that "United Natiom forces made general advances today (Monday) in all sectors against light enemy resistance. Only in a few small areas did the enemy offer stiff opposition." In the battle for Seoul, Allied ffcrces left North Korean tanks burning and many dead Com munists in the wake of their powerful drive by the advance elements of the some 40,000 Allied forces. Jaws of a giant i nutcracker are closing on 140,000 or more North Korean troops. Some are already reported in flight Others fought stubbornly.' , . . i General Patton tanks are moving ahead but week-end reports that the Allied forces had; already reached Seoul turn-out to have been premature. Eighth Army headquarters state that the Communist forces are disorganized and are offer, ing only scattered and piecemeal resistance. Engineers are now throwing bridges across the Han River so the army may cross to Seoul. On the old front in the south there is a general communist withdrawal although stiff rearguard fighting is being offered. The South Korean forces ate advancing on a 40mlle front from Pohang to Taegu. On the southeast "defence box" battlefront, United States infantry crossed the Naktong River in captured Communist boats and set up a solid beachhead on the west bank.
