In The War In Korea . . .
By ROBERT TUCKMAN

SEOUL, (AP)--Allied warplanes roared deep into North Korea Wednesday and blasted a large Communist military headquarters and oil storage area about 25 miles from the Manchurian border.

Along the frozen ground front, Allied infantrymen hurled back violent Red assaults on the western front and parried repeated Chinese thrusts against their central front positions on Sniper Ridge. Temperatures dropped to a bone-chilling eight degrees (F), coldest of the winter.

The Air Force said its fighter-bombers leveled 25 buildings of the military headquarters and destroyed the oil storage plant.
