(FROM FRANK OWEN)

Korea, Sept. 21.

British troops today crossed the Naktong River in force joining in the general offensive all along the southern front. Their passage was not contested as the main body marched over a bridge| smashed by the enemy in his withdrawal and re- built by American sappers last night under fire.

The Middlesex Regiment were the first across The the river which has so far been their front. Argylls followed and despite some belated mortar shelling, by nightfall all were safely on the far bank without a single casualty.

Tokyo, Sept. 22.

The bittorest battle of the northern campaign roared on the dust-shrouded approaches to Seoul today as the Marinos fought to clear the Reds out of the fire-eaten industrial suburb of Yongdungpo and secure its main east-west highway and rail- way.

The exact positions of the two Marine spear-1 heads driving at the Red-held former South Korean capital from the southwest and northwest lost in

a confusion of slow and overloaded communica- tions from the front. At 4 p.m. yesterday, United Press correspondent Jack James reported that the southern spearhead, fighting for Yongdungpo just across the Han river from Seoul, was halted by the "worst fire" the Marines yet encountered. The northern prong, which is across the river, drove into Seoul's western suburbs.

President Truman has apparently given Home ground to British opinion along these lines, for in his message to Congress he pointed out that bludgeoning America's allies would be fraught with danger for the United States and to world peace. There is full realisation, too, that the Serato proposal, should it go through, which is not very probable, would be absurdly mischievous. The damage to

It Is note- worthy that in this week's debate in the House of Commons when the Conservative attack was directed towards blockade, Mr Oliver Lyttleton found himself agreeing that trade helween Britain and Eastern Europe of mutual benefit should continue provided there were safeguards against the export of
