Ready For Taegu On Central Front 60,000 Drive Troops Against r Voice Of American Tank Communists All Bow To Moscow Rule By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press News Analyst A young woman from Cincinnati wants guidance.She is told to fear communism, but: \"I don t know what commuism is, so how can I fear it or fight it.What is communism ?\u201d Let\u2019s have a go at it.Present-day communism mustn\u2019t be confused with the original which was conceived long ago.The old brand was in many respects a beneficent ideology.It abolished all private property and set up a community in which everyone shared equally in everything.In some cases even wives were shared.Soviet communism, or bolshevism, is international in scope and it is militant.The fountain head is Moscow.Countries which become communist must abandon nationalism and surrender their sovereignty to Moscow.Their allegiance belongs there.Bénéficient aspects of the old-time communism have been prostituted to fit the propaganda needs of a Russian imperialism which openly seeks world domination.Thus'current communism is a new ideology created to meet a new situation.Communism is the opposite of capitalism and private initiative, such as exists in democratic countries.The state controls all resources and means of production.There is regimentation of the individual in all activities.The completeness of this is shown in the fact that even artists, scientists, dramatists, and what not must subscribe.They can\u2019t produce anything which doesn\u2019t glorify communism or add to Red prestige.Individuality is largely swallowed up by the state.Those who evade regimentation are \u201cpurged\u201d \u2014 that is, they are punished \u2014 perhaps sent to labor camps, to prison, or even to death.Those who serve the country best are rewarded in various ways and may become famous.When communism came to power in Russia through the revolution of 1917, it established the \u201cThird International,\u201d or Comintern, which was known as the general staff for world revolution.It now is called the cominform.The object of the Comintern was to carry revolution to every country in the world, to establish communist governments.This was undertaken by Red agents whom we call fifth columnists.It\u2019s important to note that the Red leaders laid it down that every revolution must be accompanied by violence and bloodshed.This was to impress the importance of the event on the minds of the proletariat.That\u2019s why there has been violence in all the countries which Americans Recapture Slopes On Eastern Side Ot Naktong River\u2014Situation Unchanged In Other Sectors, By RELMAN MORIN Tokyo, Aug.14\u2014t'T)\u2014North Korean communists massed 60,000 men tonight for a drive against Taegu, the South Korean republic's emergency capital in the heart of the centra! warfront.The big, imminently-threatening force rallied near Waegwan, 12 miles northwest of laegu.It is believed to be the most effective mass drawn from 15 divisions \u2014 150,000 men \u2014 the communists had shoved up to the long, curling battleline.And it greatly outnumbers anything the allies have to oppose them.A Red attack down the Taejon-Taegu mountain valley corridor was expected momentarily.Tuesday is the fifth anniversary of the liberation of Korea from Japan.Such anniversaries are likely occasions in Oriental reckoning for demonstrations of strength.As the North Korean thousands assembled west of the Naktong river, American troops recaptured muddy slopes on the allied eastern side of the stream from some of the 12,000 Reds who crossed the river at Changnyong, 23 miles south of Taegu.The United States 24th Division, moving up behind 45-ton Pershing tanks, attacked the river-crossers at dawn Monday.They shoved the North Koreans back from 1,000: ww-r* n yards to a mile along a flaming] \\\\j 1 | fk six-mile-long sector on the allied j \u2019 \u2022 AXV/\tvJCo eastern bank of the river.The

Gen.Douglas The difference between putting bombs down on a North Korean target or, through accident and error in navigation, having them fall on Soviet territory was a matter of about five minutes flying time.But there was an even greater calculated risk.How would Russia react to the appearance of American planes, bombed and armed for combat, so close to her doorstep?There was this to remember: April 8, before there was any MacArthur\u2019s Far Eastern command.It in turn received its broad strategic directives from the joint chiefs of staff here which is geared to the over-all policy defined at diplomatic level.Thus it must be assumed the decision to carry the air war to the crossed the river there has been reinforced.Early Monday night U.S.Eighth Army headquarters in Korea said the attacking Americans at Changnyong had attained their primary objectives.MacArthur\u2019s headquarters in Tokyo said the attack was \u201cproceeding satisfactorily.\u201d American army and navy planes and the Royal Australian Air Force poured a crushing weight of bombs and rockets on the communist invaders.But for all its ferocity, the Changnyong fighting was described by a general officers at MacArthur\u2019s headquarters as probably secondary to the \u201ccritical area\u201d which extends 20 miles north and south of the town of Waegwan, 32 miles north of Changnyong.The communists have put four elite divisions on the Waegwan line just 12 air miles northwest of Taegu, the South Korean republic\u2019s emergency capital.Two other North Korean divisions were behind them with armor to exploit the breakthrough the Reds expect to make against the United States 1st Cavalry Division and South Korean forces.Intelligence officers said the communist steamroller is expected to strike out momentarily from the Waegwan area for Taegu.Both the Changnyong river crossing, to the south, and the attack of Pohang, No.2 Korean port on the east coast, were designed to immobilize as much American and South Korean strength as possible, intelligence officers said.The Waegwan central front communists keep throwing out today accuses probing arms, hunting Tor weak spots in the long line.The United States 1st Cavalry Leopold was believed to be aboard the Belgian air force plane which flew from Brussels to Geneva early today, picked up the Princess and took off again immediately for Brussels.Elaborate precautions were taken at Geneva to keep the Princess\u2019s departure a secret.Prince Baudouin, 19-year-okl Belgian regent, and his 16-year-old brother Prince Albert drove to the airport to meet the plane, which also carried Princess Josephine-Charlotte, daughter of Leopold by his first wife, and Prince Alexandre, Princess de Rethy\u2019s first child.The beautiful 34-year-old Princess is expecting a baby\u2014her second\u2014early next year.The arrival at Brussels was a secret and armed police barred reporters from entering the airport.A mad automobile chase through the streets of Brussels followed the Princess\u2019 arrival.The Princess was sped away from the airport by a convoy of four Royal cars, chased through the streets by reporters\u2019 taxis.The race continued all the way to Laeken Palace, as pedestrians stood by and gaped.One newspaper man reached the Palace before the Royals cars.His car slid to a stop before the open gates of the Palace, but the Royal convoy shot into the Palace driveway in a cloud of dust.As part of the drive to facilitate recruiting for the Canadian Army Special Service Force and the ac-j live army, five recruiting
