...weeks the North Koreans around the Pusan perimeter had maintained heavy pressure on Lieut. General Walton Walker's line. In spite of intensive and thorough bombing and strafing of supply lines from the air, the Reds were still getting enough to the southern front to hold the initiative. The rate of U.S. buildup inside the Pusan perimeter was so slow that, short of a complete North Korean collapse, Walker had little prospect of launching a decisive offensive...
Clear skies ahead, and an airline record of 228,580,804 miles flown without accident, helped make the Cairo take-off of Trans World Airlines' Flight No. 903, Bombay to New York via Rome, a routine matter. With no indication of trouble ahead, Veteran Pilot Walton Webb took the big Constellation Star of Maryland off Farouk Field just before dawn and headed northwest...
...North Koreans who were described by General Walton Walker last week as making the "last gasp," still had some wind left. Despite the fact that they showed marked signs of hurt from incessant U.S. air attacks, the North Koreans last week managed to mount a heavy general attack all along the U.S. beachhead in Korea. It was an impressive and dangerous enemy effort, the fourth major Red try in one month to achieve a breakthrough (see below...
...25th Division, which was hurried to the scene all the way from the south coast. The 27th is commanded by 38-year-old Colonel John ("Mike") Michaelis of Lancaster, Pa., who has made a brilliant record in the Korean war and whose outfit is being used by General Walton Walker as a roving troubleshooter.

Thus was exorcised what Eighth Army headquarters called the "gravest threat" to the Allied beachhead in Korea...
...near Changnyong, where the Communists put their whole 4th Division across the Naktong River. Early last week Major General John Church's war-weary 24th Infantry Division had attacked the Red bulge, but in the face of withering enemy artillery fire the 24th recoiled. To bolster them General Walton Walker pulled the U.S. 1st Marine Brigade back from its precarious advanced position near Chinju on the southern front (where their chief objective of breaking up the Reds' south-coast drive toward Pusan had been accomplished) and threw them into battle alongside General Church's infantrymen at Changnyong...
