Situation in Brief: GROUND The enemy continues his probing attacks in the sout's and west and is still endeavoring to push forward in the northeast. An enemy attack succeeded in seizing high ground southwest of Haman, and a friendly counterattack failed to regain the position. The position of the 2d U. S.

Cavalry RCT. The enemy was forced by ROK attacks to yield ground in the Yongchon area. Farther east, however, the enemy regained positions south of Angang, previously lost to counterattacking ROK forces. The enemy also made slight gains elsewhere in the eastern sector against U. S. and ROK forces. (FECOM) (SECRET) NAVY East coast patrol ships delivered fire support in the Poliang area. TRIUMPH planes hit the Wonsan area railroad yards with good results.
