GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY: lThe Moscow radic nenies that Soviet troops are massing in Manchuria. This denies the statement made by Speaker of the Bose of Repreeentativea, Congre1sman Rayburn of Texas who im lied that Russian troops were in the mobilization This nw is denied b~loscow. . of Red ao ldiera) 1 SUB KOREA The lat e . t in Korea pictures a. g eneral advance a.long thirt y -ei g ht miles of critical battle front -- e1 ht American and allied d ivisions pushing ahead. This follows bitter fighting for two days during which time the UN foroea were halted by desperate Red resista.nce, ( the Com . niata fighting it o~t bitterly in their powerful tort1f1oat1on■• But now they are being driven out, the advance continuing above the Thirty-Eighth parallel.) KOREA - AIR The immediate p oint of guessin in the Korean w r is about the new Air Force that Soviet Russia has handed over to Red China. Today in Washington, &a a spokesman for the Air Force confirmed . the fact, and said that a build-up of air power in Red Manchuria ha.s been spotted by AmE1'1.can planes. -J(.~. ~ These~ of cours,, are forbidden to fly across the border, the Yalu River. But, winging high on the Korean side, they have observed air preparation• in Manchuria. lo, how*• important is this! How will it effect the course of military events -- the Rede throwing in squadrons of iarplanes to supoort their spring offensive! An answer is given by United Preas Correa oondent, William Burson, who quotes Amer1oa.n Air Force commanders in Korea. They don't believe that the new Chinese Air Force can have any great effect. They say it 1s 1mpoea1ble for the Chinese Res to do a real job of coordinating air and round in a spr1n offensive. KOREA - AIR - 2 It's lar ~P. ly a qu P sti o n of -- bases. If t he Re d plane s try to on erate from flying fields in Manchuria, where they are safe, the distance is too far for their jets to be effective. Jet planes haven't the range. So they would have to operate from Korean baaes short distances beJ1nd the fighting lines. and they have no such bases in Korea. Nor have theJ the facilities for the highly · technical job of establishing them. Not in the face of the consta.nt American air attacks. " of )'g .rfe sit , t they ~1ght try to dO is to send ~ ,, opelle~ bombers down from , Rancb6r1a to aupnort to their spring offens~Ye. American Air officers deelare t t squadron, boml> r a, tlle atap«ar d _, prop-,1 lor ~t'nd, I • / ng due'ks for the A er1ca jet flght~r./. uld All of which leads those Air rorce officer• to say t a t General MacArthur, wanting to bomb Red b se• in Manchuria, hasn't got Red air power in mind, especially. Be wants to get at the Manchurian railways f KOREA - AIR - 3 a.nd h ighways, a.long which the hun d reds~- t h ousands " of Chinese Rd soldiers must be transported. He wants to hit the streaming ordes of Communists a.nd 1s not bothered particularly about any dan g er of the new Red air power) MAQARTHUR*PARLXAHEUT We all know t h at Gen e ral Douglas M a cArthur h a s his arguments with the politic a l hi g h and mi g hty in W a shin g ton, and t h at woul d see m to be enough. But now, along com s th• •• British Parliament, with a blast against the Supreme Commander. Hot that thil emanates from the Prime Minister, or anything lite that.

Be w ants to rebuke the leadership of MacArthur on the ground that the Supreme Com m ander interfere in matters that are not military at all. But here's the charge, verbatua -- 1n all the dignity and state or British uarliamentar7 verbiage!- •That the House deplores the continual refusal of Gen e ral MacArthur tor fr a in from reckless MACARTHUR - PARLIAMENT - 2 and 1rres o onsible participation in political • controversies and observes with rowing anxiety the extent to which his interventions in matters outside his range of authority create contusion in the United Nations and bring comfort to its enemies.• Which atring of big words, i• ie jue, another way of saying -- the General doesn't mind hie own business. ~ -,;t- i4 ~ ~ ~ cq. & l s , ~ - ~ ~ ~ ~ l ~ l l l ~ STALIN - PRIZE The Soviets have awarded their peace one Englishman prizes, and these go *x■ to one Frenchma.iijand two Americans.
