A horde of 200, 000 Chinese communists swarmed over North Korea Tuesday, threatening to trap desperately fighting Allies in an offensive which Gen. Douglas MacArthur said marked the start of "an entirely new war."
The Chinese, pouring like locusts over the countryside as far as the human eye could see, ripped through a widening hole torn in the right flank of the UN line.
They could be seen along "every road, every gulley and every ridgeline," a First corps spokesman said.
As the Chinese seized the offensive and rocked the Allies back on the defensive, MacArthur issued a bristling statement accusing the Chinese of hurling the major part of their fighting force against the UN.
MacArther said China's full-scale intervention the the Korean war posed issues behond his authority and asked the UN what they wanted to do about it.

Hopes of Ending War Shattered.
In a special signed communique, he said Red China had shattered his "high hopes" of an early end to the Korean war that would get American troops "home by Christmas."
There was no doubt that the Chinese assault had caused a crisis.

The ground forces called for desperately needed air support, and Allied planes went out to pour bullets and bombs on the Communist flood.
But they could not stem the Red tide.

How many people remember

* 30,000 Americans died in Korea in (less than) 3 years (1950-52) of Democrat Truman's presidency? That means more than 10 times as many troops died under Truman as died under Bush in 3 years.
* MacArthur saying in November of 1950 that the war would be over by that Christmas?
* Truman said he was sending our troops to fight a "police action" against "bandits" who were threatening the Republic of Korea?
