Kiangsi Ruler Admits
Communist Success

CANTON, April 25.-Under the
leadership of the Chinese Commu-
mist Party, the development of the
revolution in Kiangsi, province
with population three times that
of New York State. has reached
such state that the Kuomintang
governor of the province has tele-
graphed his resignation to the Seen
trail" government at Marking. He
admitted that he chose to resign be-
cause he could not cope with the de-
veloping Communist revolts engulf-
ing the whole province.
Associated Press dispatches today
report that 1000 peasants were
massacred by government troops
during battle near Shinte in the
northwestern part of Hupeh Pro-
vince. The revolving peasants did
not succeed in entering Shinte but
they captured neighboring towns.
In the Huchow region, in northern
Chekiang province, revolutionists
are reported to be very active. 5000
revolving peasants .have succeeded
in capturing Szean, a town twenty
four miles from Huchow.
Associated Press Dispatches yes
terday refer to reports given by
two American priests recently from
southern Kiangsi which state that
"red forces were overrunning the
entire southern part of Kiangsi" and
that the city of Sinfeng was cap
tured by the Communist troops and
peasants on April ~ and a Soviet
government was established in the
area.
The New York Times yesterday
reports that in March it was esti-
mated that more than 10000, 900
Chinese were living under regional
Soviet governments in South China.
The Soviet area, admits the New
York Times, include "Kiangsi. north
ern Kwangtung, western Fukien,
much of Human, and even north of
the Yangtze River in Hupeh and
Honan provinces" Since the popu-
lation of Kiangsi alone is more than
100000 the number of the Times
estimate of the Chinese living under
Soviet rule is a gross underestima-
ton.

Pathe's location for The Painted

With high hopes, a Los An.
geles mother boarded a train a
short time ago, carrying her 18-
month-old child. She was on her
way to the Painted Desert, where
the baby was to appear in a mo-
ton picture. It was to portray
Bill Boyd as an infant. Later on,
thousands would see it on the
screen. The future. perhaps.
might hold a successful screen
career.
But tragedy intervened. The
baby died.
Now, as ever, the show must go
on. Pathe officials have secured
another baby. 1t is a 10-month-
old boy, who was born on the
desert. He will take the part,
and he will be seen by thousands.
Other troubles have beset the
film troupe. Storms have swept
the location, which is out in the

But they will remain until the
