Despite aid given by American bombing planes in the battle between Russian-supported North Korean forces and American-trained soldiers in So. Koreas. the Communists press ahead, c~using cMlians to flee their homes aboard over-crowded trains like this one shown leaving Suwon, 20 miles from Communist-held Seoul.
This railroad repair shop in Pyongyang, No. Korea, where the Red Communists had their war-damaged railroad cars and engines reconditioned, looks like it will need a little repair job itself, as a result of bombings by the UN air forces. Capture of the Red's capital city may well mean the end of major warfare in Korea.
