United Nations troops pushed cautiously forward on the North- West Korean front tonight. They appeared to be opening anew their drive on the Manchurian border.

Changing over from the defensive role they have adopted for the past week, the American, South Korean and British Commonwealth soldiers began aggressive action against the Communist forces dug in three or four miles in front of them.

A Reuter correspondent, reporting this new advance from the American Eighth Army Headquarters in Korea, said that the 24th American Division sent forward an, armoured patrol a company of in- fantry covered by two tanks-two miles into the No Man's Land, which separates the frontlines north of the Chongchon River.
