The first was three weeks ago. But neither air-sea military search nor checks by intelligence officers have been able to confirm any of them. The spokesmen conceded, how- ever, that it is quite possible that a foreign sub may be in East Coast waters. And it is thought that Russia is the only foreign power that would send such a craft. The Navy is taking no chances. it sent two frigates to comb coastal areas with the aid of an R.CAF. anti-submarine squadron and some anti-sub planes from Dartmouth, N.S. The frigates have swept the whole Bay of Fundy area in zig-zag lines. Nothing has shown on the radar screens or the Asdic sub- locating equipment except a few whales.

(Wednesday) (CP).--Waves of fanatical North Korean troops drove elements of the United States First Cavalry Division out of Yongdong yesterday, narrowing the American de. fence perimeter in southeast Korea. Far to the southwest, allied carrier planes blasted targets where Red troops swept virtually unopposed to the coast. The air strike was mounted in 24 hours by U.S. and British carriers just returned to an unnamed port after operations north of the 38th parallel along Korea's east coast. They struck at "targets of op- portunity," said a headquarters announcement. Results of the raid were not reported. : The rampaging Communists sheared off all the western and southwestern side of the peninsula. They seized the southern tip of Korea and turned eastward toward Pusan, U.S. supply port on the southeastern tip of the peninsula. YONGDONG ABANDONED Yongdon was abandoned after a fierce day-long fight. Most of the U.S. troops got out safely, but troops on the flanks were trapped and battered by Communist roadblocks, snipers and guerrillas. The Reds stole through the hills surrounding Yongdong wearing grass and leaves to blend in with the countryside. Their camouflage made them difficult targets. Gen. MacArthur's early-morning operational release to day conceded that the North Korean invaders were continue ing their pressure despite heavy losses and severed come munications. This release said "further withdrawals may be neces- sary," but did not include the withdrawal from Yongdong late Tuesday, which field dispatches already had reported, A Reuters field dispatch said that ® during the fierce Yongdong battle U.S. troops were attacked from bot sides but fought successfully to hold an escape route open under heavy red shelling.
