W. GERMAN LEADERS URGE They Walt COMMUNIST THRUSTS AT
STRENGTHENING OF OCCUPATION
Bonn, Aug. 23.
Both the West German Chancellor, Dr Konrad Adenauer, and the Socialist Opposition leader, Dr Kurt Schumacher, today agreed that only a speedy increase in American occupation forces in Ger- many could decisively strengthen Western Euro- pean defences.
They both said that a remilitarisation of Ger- many or the raising of a stronger police force alone would not solve the German security problem.

Korca, Aug. 24.
The 27th Regiment knocked out two more Communist at- tacks last night and frustrated an enemy offort to break through toward Tacgu. Allied reconnaissance reported that the enemy is shifting his weight castward.
The road from Taegu to Kunwi is littered with wreckage of Communist trucks smashed in six days and nights by heavy American artillery fire.
The first attack on the 27th Regiment last night hit the left flank at 7.15 p.m. when an
