Reds Recoil Before UN Counter Thrusts
TOKYO, May 23, � Communrst troops retreated along an  80-mile front  in  Korea today before forward thrusting
Allied tanks and infantry.
The entire U�6. 10th Corps opened a counter attack across the east central front, and gained up to three and one-half miles. In the attacking force were the Second Infantry anjdi First Marine divisions and other unidentified units. They recaptured Hangye, a key road centre.
All along the front from Mun-san in the far west to Pungnam in the east-central sector, the Reds are pulling back towards North Korea.
On the eastern front, Allied forces are slashing through rugged mountains to cut off the spearhead of the last Red offensive force of their second spring drive.
On the west central front, an Allied spokesman said Red forces were making'"hasty but orderly" withdrawals.
In the far west, South Korean troops pushed within four miles of the Red Korean border.

Kinsmen already have about $400 on hand to offset the cost of the second spraying, which, it is estimated, will cost slightly more than $600.
Russians May Move In Another Theatre
WASHINGTON, May 23�Gen. Omar Bradley said today: "There is danger of the Russians moving into Iran and starting another aggression."
Bradley made the statement in reply to questions by Senator Brewster at the Senate inquiry into the dismissal of Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said: "The longer the problem in Korea keeps .upr the less we are prepared to meet any movement anywhere else.
'There is danger, of course, of the Russians moving into Iran and starting another aggression. Whether or not that is any more dangerous than Yugoslavia or Indo-China or some other place, I am not prepared to say; but certainly it is a point of danger and we would like to be in a better position to meet any further aggression if it occurred."
At Tuesday's sessions, Gen. Bradley hinted peace may come to Korea if the Allies smash the big Red offensive now underway.
There were other peace hints too, at Lake Success, but no official source would confirm the reports.
