ATTACKS

Korca, Aug. 25.

Strong Communist forces were reported to bo moving up to the southern front today in preparation for a big push on Pusan. The first "fecler punch" by the Communists was an attack in approximately company strength in one sector west of Masan supported by fire from two tanks.

One American platoon was pushed out of its position but was expected to return at dawn. After providing the North Korean infantrymen with supporting fire the tanks withdrew and were not seen again.

South Korean Marines for the fourth straight day threw back the Communist infantry attempt- Commandos Geting to seize Tongyong as a stepping stone to the
