MARINES REACH HAN RIVER
Tokyo, September 18.
United States forces drove to within sight of Seoul today and 150 miles to the South East they broke out of their Pusan beach- head and seized a foothold on the West bank of the Naktong rivar.
A despatch from the invasion flagship off Irichon, some 20 miles West of Seoul, said the First Marine Division was meeting only "disorganised resistance" in its advance on the former South Korean capital. The Marines beat off three Communist attacks on the newly captured Kimpo airfield, the biggest and best in Korea, and plunged on to the Han river, seven miles Wast of Seoul.
The airport is nine and one half miles West North West of Seoul,.
