General Douglas MacArthur said today that "alion Com- munist forces” from Manchuria are fighting in Korea and it is the "mission" of the UN forces to destroy them.

Any reinforcement of them from their large body of reserves "beyond the limits of our present sphere of military action,' will be "a matter of the gravVest infernational signi- ficance," General MacArthur. declared in a communique which he signed.

The United Nations Commander did not mention Chinese Communists.

(In Kansas City, Presidential Secretary Charles G. Ross said Pre- sident Harry Truman, who returned home on Sunday for the election, would not comment and he considered it unlikely that the President would have any comment while there. It is presumed the President is familiar with General MacArthur's statement and the developments that led up to it).

American officers in the field in Korea have stated that Chinese Reds totalling at least three divisions are fighting the UN forces and are largely responsible for the repulse of the Allies in the past week.

Tokyo, Nov. 5. Chinese suicide forces broke through the American defence line north of the Chongchon river today.

American officers believed that Chinese wearing blue uniforms with white piping instead of the conventional brown or yellow were special suicide forces sent in to open a way for the main attack.

It should not be too difficult a task for the proper authorities to in- vestigate this: and, where found to be true, to take the necessary action.
