Bradley announces revealing figures
Detroit, September 20. -
General Omar Bradley disclosed today that the North Korean Communists began their in- vasion with an estimated 220,000 troops and were opposed by less than 60,000 South Koreans.
The Chairman of the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff said the North Koreans also had some
air force units.
Held The invasion estab bished the United Nations as D world power power for free- dom potentially stronger than any single nation,"
When the Communist Korea invasion began last June, military spokesmen here had estimated the North Korean ground forces at about 98,000 to 100,000 and the South Korean forces at $5,000.
Later, the estimated strength of the North Koreans wag revised upward but no official estimate had been given."
In a speech prepared for dell very before the Detroit Rolary Club, General Bradley said the Korean battle has become one of the most significant campalgas in history for two reason:
warn-
1. A new power was born in the world through armed action -by-the-United-Nations.—-—
2. Communism without ing went farther than ever be- fore.in resorting to armed aggres- sion to gain its oppressive ends. General Bradley said the pro- pies of free nations now TC- cognise that Communism Is backed by military forec which will 'bo used whenever and wherever it is to Communism's
advantage.
