Enemy Situation:
a. In general, enemy contact on the Eighth Army front was extremely
light except in the 1st U. S. Cavalry Division sector where an enemy
counterattack in battalion strength was repulsed without loss of ground. The
character of resistance encountered, plus PW interrogation and other in-
telligence information, tends to support the belief that the enemy main line
of resistance has not yet been reached. (FECOM) (SECRET)
