By OLEN CLEMENTS TOKYO Allied troops to day straddled the two most Impor tant mountains guarding the ap proaches to Chorwon and Kumhwa, Red strongholds in North Korea. Sweating United Nations infantry men clambered to the top of 2,700 foot Mound Kotdae four miles south of Chorwon. (The name and location of the mountain were deleted by the censor; But neither this story nor previous censored field dispatches left any doubt as to the identity of the mountain.) From this neight the Allies dominate the mountain road and valley corridor up which other troops were pushing. They are in -position to pump artillery fire into battered Chorwon, 17 miles north oi the 38th parallel. Farther to the east mud-caked United Nations troops Wednesday seized 3,100 foot Kwangdok Mountain, southwest of Kumhwa, a delayed front line dispatch said.

The mountain looks up another valley route and towers over bills to the north. Allies beat off a series of battalion-sized counterattacks early Thursday morning on the road to Kumhwa, then they clawed their way 2,000 yards closer to the southeastern corner of the Reds' prized "iron triangle." Many units burned up their normal supply of ammunition early in the attack. Tanks resupplied them. running a gantlet of Chinese tillery and mortal fire. To the east.

Allied troops were driven from one prominent ridge-line by Red counterattacks at noon. Elsewhere in the mountains east the Allied advance ground to a halt in the face of stubborn North Koreans. "They've suffered tremendous losses," a U.N. officer said. "The bodies must be stacked on each other." The U.N.

advance In the west was paced by Infantrymen storming up Mount Kodaq, four miles southwest of Chorwon They pushed the Chinese back to a point 40 miles from the deepest penetration of their abortive spring offensive. Atop the 2,700 foot hill, United Nations forces dominate entrance-ways to the Chorwon Kumhwa Yonggang triangle On their left Is the 1-Chorwon highway. On their right is the opening of Pyong- gang Valley, which splits the triangle. Chorwon itself lies rt front. Only one low hill stands between the Allies and the city.

But front dispatches said the Reds have quit retreating They've dug in to fight The U. S. Eighth Army communique Thursday night reported the. smallest gains of its counteroffer sive. Distances were given for only two advances Troops capturing Kodae, and their supporting forces gained 1,000 to 2.000 yards, through artillery and mortar fire.

Flanking units spreading west across the Imjin River near Yonchon ran into bitter fights. U.N. forces on the east flank, spearing toward the taater of. the iron triangle advanced 2 000 yards. Censorship obscured their poslton.

Elsewhere, where the Allies gained at all, it was an Inching advance paced by probing tank forces. Reds threw up their heaviest artillery barrages of the war Some captured hills were strewn with equipment and bodies of Communist soldiers. "Heav enemy resistance" was reported from the eastern' drive toward Kumhwa on across the rest of the front. Despite air and artillery power the Allies were able to make only two small penetrations of the Red wall In the eaRt AP Correspondent George A. McArthur reported North Koreans stuck to their log-topped bunkers and foxholes.

They hit back at attacking U.N. forces with sporadic mortar and 105 millimeter artillery fire Communists have held one spiny ridge north of Inje for four days, despite ceaseless air and artillery bombardment and repeated Infantry attacks. UN Infantrymen pushed up the ridge four times Thursday. Each time they were driven back by machlnegun and rifle fire, tJ.N warplanes hammered at the Reds through the day Taking advantage of bright sunshine, tiie Fifth alrforce mounted 510 sorties Thursday. Sixty-three strikes were at the front lines.

Most of the rest ripped up rails and roadways loading to the iron triangle, down which Reds continued to pour supplies.

WASHINGTON -Secretary of State Acheson testified today the United States does not have enough military strength yet to guarantee European Allies against occupation and destruction." Acheson's statement came In re sponse to questions by Senator Lodge (R-Mass) at the Senate's MacArthur Inquiry. After General references to the European arms aid program. Lodge asked Acheson: "Do you think today we are able to insure that our Allies will not suf fer occupation and destruction?" Acheson said: "Not with the forces available today." At another point, Acheson said it was the Defense Department which ruled put "hot pursuit" of enemy planes across the Korean-Manchu- rian border. 7 Acheson told Senators Investigat ing the ouster of Gen, Douglas Mac-Arthur that the State Department simply relayed to the military department the reaction of six other members of the United Nations to the idea.

The six had been told about the plan, but not asked to pass upon Earlier in the hearings, when military men were in the witness chair, it was developed that the "hot pursuit" plan got top level ap proval here late last year but was never put into effect because of the objections from- other" TJ.Nr members. The other nations were concerned that flying over Chinese territory might greatly widen the Korean war. For Sixth Day Acheson was testifying for the sixth day at hearings by the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees into MacArthur 's dismissal In other high spots: 1. Acheson said there was no connection in his opinion between the Far Eastern concessions made to Russia at Yalta and the defeat of the Chinese Nationalists by the Communists.

Questioning of Acheson was suspended at 11:03 a.m. EST, for lunch.

He wa asked to return at 1:30 p.m. EST Senator McMahon (D-Conn), a strong administration supporter, raised the question of whether the Yalta agreements weakened Chiang's forces He said his purposes was to dispel any notion that the concessions to Russia "made it possible for the Chinese Communists to have a victory in China." McMahon had Acheson read the terms of the Yalta agreement-an understanding reached by President Roosevelt, Prime Mlnistei Churchill of Britain and Premier Stalin of Russia at a February, 1945, meeting in the Russian town of Yalta. Given Concessions Russia agreed there to come into the war Rgainst Japan three months after the defeat of Germany and, In return, was given certain Far Eastern concessions After Acheson had read the terms, McMnhon observed that neither he mi the cabinet members was a military strategist adding: "Have you ever heard or have you ever been told of any military connection between defeat of Chiang Kai-Shek and those concessions thai were made to the Soviet at Yalta?" "No. Senator McMahon think there wns none Acheson replied.
