New Strike Campaign Threatened By Dock Leaders

London, Oct. 1.

Secretly elected dockers' leaders today threa- tened a new campaign of unrest in Britain's main ports unless their demands were met. They warned the Union: "Act or we take action.”

Grouped together in port committees, declared illegal by the Union, they called for a "dockers' charter" to give them higher pay, longer holidays and pensions.

KOREA DIVISION MASSING OVER 38TH PARALLEL Red Resistance Fading Rapidly All Along Battlefront

(FROM A DAILY EXPRESS STAFF REPORTER)

Tokyo, Oct. 1.

Southern troops massed one mile inside Communist Koroa tonight after puncturing the 38th Parallel a few minutes before General MacArthur's noon demand for a Red surrender.

The South Korean 3rd Division pushed across the border up the dusty twisting east coast road, following a vanguard patrol into Yangyang.

Patrols returning to the main body reported no opposition and American pilots said there was no sign of Communist activity for 20 miles north of the Parallel along the east coast.

The unexpected crossing--it was thought that: | General MacArthur would await United Nations decision before authorising the offensive— sharpened the political crisis blown up by vague Chinese Communist threats to help the North. erners.

Nevertheless, it would doubtless be futile to expect the Chinese Reds to do any less than they are doing, but it would be wise on their part not to go any further. They could not expect the United Nations to take even the present degree of interven- tion without protests, at least, once proot furnished, but a real invasion by Chinese troops could bring another Korea and certainly it would make a major conflict possible.
