TOKYO, SUNDAY, March 18—(UP)—Greek troops used knives and bayonets to cut down four savage counter¬ attacks by Chinese forces guarding the big Red base of Chunchon on Saturday in some of the bloodiest fighting of the Korean War.
The Greek victory in their first major encounter of the war featured a day of bitter fighting on the mountainous central sector of the front but only light, scattered resist¬ ance to the steady Allied, advance on both the east and west flanks was reported.
Waves of shouting Chinese, supported by machine gun and mortar Hrc, charged the hilltop positions held by the Greeks throughout the afternoon.    At nightfall they withdrew, beaten.

MONROE, La. — A two-engine Navy plane groped out of low- hanging clouds with faltering power and crashed into a meadow yesterday, killing Its six-man crew and hurling wreckage for half a mile.
Bodies of the men were so badly dismembered that state police could at first Identify live among them although six were known to have made the flight from Corry Field, Pensacola, Fla The sixth man was finally identified.

Joe Turner, employee of the Jjoulsiana State University exte*- slon station at nearby Calhoun, said he heard the engines sputter¬ ing. A moment later there was a crash. He and other residents of the farming community rushed to the meadow a quarter of a mile
"Wreckage    was    all    over field," he said.    "All we could find was pieces of bodies."
Fifteen minutes earlier residents here had heard the faltering en¬ gines as the plane flew over Mon¬ roe at about fi:45 a. m., cn route to the naval air station at Daiias, Tex. The Na'vy withheld the vic¬ tim's names until next of ici n were notified. Reported Position
Five minutes before the JRC Navy trainer went down, the pilot reported to the Civil Aeronautics Authority here that he was at an altitude of 3,500 feet The ceiling was 1,300 feet at the time.

The 16-a-day rate was in accord¬ ance with a four-power agreement of 1945 setting regulations for the international corridor. But even be¬ fore the Berlin blockade of 1948- 49, the Russians had let more trains through.
