Tokyo, May 16.
The Communists in Korea have-now probably built up sufficient strength to begin the second phase of their Spring offensive, frontline United Nations officers said last night.
Communist supply routes in the western sector of the front, which for days past have resounded to the wheels of trucks and ox carts and the feet of ' porters, are now quiet.
Observers believe that this sudden cessation of activity probably meant that the Communists are ready to attack again.
American patrols which probed the hills north of Chunchon today met no serious opposition but they encountered Korean civilians on the move between the Allied and the Communist lines obviously in anticipa- tion of heavier fighting to
come.
