"LITTLE SIGN OF HOSTILE MILITARY ACTIVITY" ALONG THE YALU RIVER,
SAYS GEN. MACARTHUR ON NOVEMBER 25, 1950.
s ARCHINER RECORDS AND of
BATIONAS
Intelligence reports have indicated the Chinese Communist
armies now have concentrated 400,000 to 500,000 men in Manchuria,
upon whose intervention or non-intervention the fate of the Korean
war probably depends.
In a communique issued after his return to Tokyo, General
MacArthur said, however, that "an air reconnaissance behind the
enemy's line and along the entire length of the Yalu River border
showed little sign of hostile military activity.'
Despite General MacArthur's assessment of the lack of enemy
movement along the Yalu River and his statement--made to Corps com-
manders-- -- of hopes that United States troops could be removed from
Korea by Christmas, official reports were made yesterday of new
Chinese troops south of the Korean border.
A spokesman for the Tenth Corps told correspondents that a
new Chinese division was facing the United States Marines around the
Changjin reservoir in the east central section. Another--identified
as the 126th Division of the Chinese Communist Army--was reported
to be confronting South Korean troops to the southwest.
Details were lacking as to when or where the Chinese crossed
the frontier, but for the last ten days official Allied spokesmen
have insisted that only North Koreans were being encountered in the
northeast, despite the large Chinese concentrations on both sides
of the river at Musan, Hoeryong and Tumen. From these the new
Chinese troops in action presumably might have been drawn.
