As Nationalists Evade Red Trap
prepared to use Marines, if neces
sary, to help evacuate about 250,-
000 Americans from Shanghai.
He said the Marines would be
used in the event of an emer
gency.
NANKIN G—The war news
from China may soon take on a
rosier outlook for the govern
ment. This is hinted, at least, in
news dispatches from Nanking
today. One report says a govern
ment force of 110,000 men has
escaped from a Red trap and
joined the defenders of Nanking
about 100 miles from the capital.
Another story indicates that
the Suchow garrison of 250,000
men is on the move again, after
being bottled up by Red troops.
Neither report is official. The
skies have cleared in China and
the Chinese Air Force is again
striking at the enemy in steady
attacks.
