TOKYO. Aug. 21 -(Mondsy)- (AP)-The South Korean army announced a major victory Sunday over 80.000 North Koreans at the east end of the Korean front

I-lard-charging Americans erased the Communist invaders' Chang- nyong bridgehead on the Nalrtong River on the central front and re- ported a great kill of enemy at- tackers in the extreme south.

(Reuters News Agency reported meanwhile that it was believed in Tokyo that North Korean iorce': were preparing for a new all-out assault towards Pusan, main port for United Nations supplies and reinforcements. The Communists were again attacking west of Haman, only 10 miles from edasan on the main south coast road to Pusan.)

Disorder behind the enemy lines due to Allied air and naval strikes stalled an expected new Red aa- sault towards the central defence bastion of Taegu.

South Korean marines nuan- whiic were disclosed to have made two mor amphibious landings against thz enemy-a total of three in three days.

A spokesman for the South Kor- ean army said forces of the Re- public of Korea crushed the beef- ed-up Communist 5th and 7th Div- isions in a two-day fight n-ear Pohang and drove the invaders back 12 miles north of that east coast port city.

"We have won a the spokesman said.

He told a press conference that 30.000 Communist troops began a drive toward Kyonglu. '30 miles southwest of Pohang. nine days

At North Novas' Reunion

"They saved liberty, it is our task to preserve liberty now." said H. Major James R. Miliar as he Spoke at the drumheod service of the reunion of the North Nova Scotin Highlanders at Memorial Field, Charlottetown, on Saturday morn- lng.

A crowd of some three hundred watched the men as they paraded onto the field. followed by a pipe, and drum band of thirty members of the combined North Nova and Pictou pipe bands. Major Milisr, Command Chaplain (P) Eastern Command, was the speaker for the service which was led by Captain H.l!.'.D. Ashford of Trinity United Church, Charlottetown.

Major Miiiar stated that it was fitting that the 4th reunion of the North Novas be held in the bean- tlful city of Charlottetown in con- junction with old Home Week, as the North Nova battalion was made up of many Islanders as well as men from Nova scotia.

"We gather together with mixed feelings of pride and sorrow", he said, "to pay tribute to those who laid down their lives for us. The passage of time might bring about those who will question deeds done. but no one will ever question the valorl of those men",

To Korean

By TOM H. MASTIJRSON

SINGAPORE. Aug. 2.0 - (AP) - Gen. Sir John Harding announced tonight that a. British infantry force will be sent from Hong Kong to Korea "immediately." This is the first dispatch of British ground forces to the Kcrean warfront.

Gen. Harding, commander of the British Far East land forcss.- said the action was taken in response to a request from Gen. Douglas MacArthur. chief of the United Naticns forces in Korea. to send reinforcements "without delay."

The size of the infantry force was not disclosed. Britain announ- ced earlier this month she would send a force of about 5,000 troops to the battle area as soon as a "self- contained unit" cf infantry, tanks. artillery and engineers could be whipped into shape. British naval and air power are already aiding the U. N. forces in Korea.

In Action Shortly

In London informed sources said the infantry being moved from Hong Kong to Korea cculd be in action in "leas than two weeks."

...L..A..........- ......A.,. commander in chief of the United

Nations forces in Korea for dis-'

patch of reinforcements without delay, the United Kingdom Gov- ernment have decided to send an infantry force from Hong Kong to Korea immediately. -

"Replacements for units com- prising this force will shortly ar- rive in Hong Kong."

He said that the units being sent to Korea from Hong Kong will be replaced by "the First Bat- talicrf of the Wiltshire Regiment; now en route from England. and by "certain Gurkha units now un- derloing engineer training in Mal- ays. one armored car squadron is also being sent from Malaya to Hong Kong."

The replacements will reach Hong Kong during the first half of next month.

Gen. Harding said the transfer of trocps from Malaya to Hong Kong will not affect the British efforts to subdue communist ter- rorists ln Malaya. since the Gurk- ha unlt was "in training and not fighting."

The British aircraft carrier War- rior left Portsmouth today with re- inforcements for British ships fighting off Korea. It. followed the carrier Theseus which left Friday. Both are 13,860-ton vessels carrying between an and 46 planes each.

h ' " Ferries Ltd would be pre- pared to oonsider continuing the ferry service between Wood Is- lands and Caribou beyond the reg- ular closing date of Nov. 30, it was announced following the annual meeting of the directors of the company here on Saturday.

It the service is to be continued it was the opinion of the directors that the Georgetown-Pictou route would be preferable after Nov. 30. There are good docking facilities at both ports which could be put in shape to accommodate the boats without difficulty. Also, this route is open later than the Wood Is- lands-daribou route and could he used for the greater part of the winter.

The ferries are now equipped with radio telephones. but addi- tional navigational aids would be required if the present service is to be continued and extra cross- ings made. I

The vice president. Mr. W. N. Macdonald, was authorized by the directors to proceed at once to loc- ate another boat. either to replace the Prince Nova or to run in ad- dition to the two boats now oper- ating. The new boat, Mr. Macdon- ald believed. should be as large as the. "Dunning" or even larger.

The difficulty of obtaining ship- yard space for constructing a new best has been greatly increased during the past month as a result of the outbreak of war in Korea. In the meantime. every effort will be made to obtain. either in Can- sd'a or the United states. a boat which could be reoonverted for the

purpose of the company. The directorate of Nof'thumber-
