TOKYO. April 28 -(Saturday) -(AiP)- Allied troops withdrew steadily southward in a pelting rainstorm Friday along tho.100- mile-wide Korean battlefront. leaving behind a mud-bathed no- man's-land.

The advancing Chinese Com- munists pressed within 10 miles north of Seoul on the western front Friday night but the United Nations retirement was at a faster rate than the ca.-nlalty-riddled Chinese and North Koreans could advance.

Field dispatches said that while contact was broken or slaolrened along most sectors of front. thousands of fresh Chinese troops were moving southward Friday night toward the central front.

Thus far. in five days or of bitter fllzhting. the Chinese and North Koreans were estim-

ated to have lost ncarlv 37,000

men killed or wounded from

Allied ground. air and sea act.

fl.

This boosted total enemy cas- ualties to more than 862,500 since the North Korean Reds began the war by invading South Korea last June 25.

A field dispatch from AP cor- respondent George A. McArlhur on the west-central front said U.

N. troops moved southward throughout the day in a solid stream.

They passed through Ullongbu. That road junction 11 miles north of Seoul. still was in Allied hands but might be abandoned soon.

Allies Maintain Spirit

ll "Ii2.,was,sn army in retreat.-" McArthur said. "but an armythst still maintained its spirit 'and its capacity to inflict a tremendous toll on the enemy."

7' Grim humor was in evidence. bits sign at the side of a blown bridge parodied a popular song:

"Mr. Chink. if I'd known you was zoming I'd have baked some rice."

Flashes of fire from Allied artil- lery bombardments lit the skies north of Seoul Friday night as 300.000 Reds pressed south. A half- million residents were ordered by south Korean government to leave the city.

Allied rearlzuards north of Uiionrbu covered the U. N. with- drawal. Of no military value. -the capital appeared about to change hands for the fifth time. The Reds have captured it twice and lost it twice.

The Conservative leader. in fightln-g-cock mood, gave notice that his party will launch a full- scale attack on the Government's "scanda-ious want of foresight" in buying raw materials vitally needed for rearmament.

His speech at a party rally -branded the Government as "that cluster of lion-hearted limpeis -united by their desire to hold on lo office at all costs."

"We shall do everything in our -power. by every constitutional -means open to us, to bring this harmful suspense and uncertainty to a. speedy end." he said.

His motion for debate next week will thrust at the heart of the political crisis caused by the resignation of Aneurin Bevan, Lab r Minister; Harold Wilson,
