REDS PREPARING FOR Argylls study new weapon
ANOTHER TAEGU DRIVE
Begin shelling U.S. supply road North of city
SOUTH KOREAN VICTORY
Taegu Front, September 10.
The Communists began heavy shelling of the First Cavalry Division's main supply road four and a half miles North of Taegu at sundown today in what appeared to be preparation for another all-out attack on the city.
An Eighth Army spokesman said he believed the shelling presaged an at- tack, "as concerted as they are able to make," by two North Korean
divisions-the First and 13th.
These divisions had been probing the North West corner of the United Na
tions beachhead above Taogu for more than a
week.
Early in the afternoon one battalion of enemy troops was seen moving toward the corner of the First Cavalry lines from Wargwan. At 5 p.m. other troops
observed being brought down directly from the North.
