BY CHINESE TROOPS
Slaughter Follows Burning of
Wusueh by Communists
Who Looted City.
By the Associated Press.

HANKOW, August 2l.-The slaughter
Of 1000 Communists by provincial
troops in Western Kiangsi Province and
the capture Of 1000 red rifles there were
reported today in Chinese press dis
patches.
This apparently is the first crushing
defeat administered to the red ma
rauders, who have been numbering
looting and burning throughout the
Yangtzs Valley for several weeks.
News of the provincial victory fol-
lowed closely word of the burning of
Wusueh, Hupeh Province, by Com
munists, who looted the city of 5000
population and ransacked the country
side. WuSueh is an important Yangtze
River port, as miles above Kiukiang,
Kiargsi.
Wusueh Inhabitants Flee.
Fearing for their lives, inhabitants
of Wusueh abandoned their property
virtually without protest and fled, many
going to Kiukiang, where foreign gun
boats were anchored.
Communist armies late last month
sacked ana destroyed large SecLlOnS OF
Changsha, Human Province capital.
Later they threatened Hankow, WI
chang and Hanyang, sister cities, 900
miles up the Yangtze from the sea.
However, the Reds apparently were
frightened away by foreign warships
which were rushed to Hankow by
American, British and. Japanese gov
ernmentS.
Civil War Is Tagging.
Since then the Communists have raw

Hampered by torrential rains, the

URGES SPRAYING TREES
 TO CURB APPLE MAGGOT
England Places Ban On All But Fancy Or Extra Fancy Apples
 Due to Pest

New Haven, July 10 (UP) - Connecticut apple growers have been warned to spray their trees if they would continue to export to Great Britain, which consumed a crop valued at S1,7S2.O00 last year.
 Dr. W. E. Britton. entomologist of the Connecticut Agricultural sta ton. pointed out that England, Scotland and Wales have declared an embargo on American apples, ex- cept those certified by the U. S. De- partment of Agriculture inspectors as fancy" or extra fancy grade.
 The embargo, Britton stated, was occasioned by prevalence of the ap- pie maggot or railroad worm. which is the most serious threat to the early crop ali this time of year
 Early apples should be sprayed about July to and July 25, the en- tomologist said.

Lingle Murder Eclipses Crimes Of Chicago Cangland Because of
 Its FarAung Shady Rami6cations

to fall on other phases of the crime. Col. Robert E. Mccormick. publish CT of the Tribune, hc;sd rumors that Lingle was no Don Mellet, that he lived in a hotel suite far too eN- pensive for police reporter.
 Investigation of his private life, his finances. his habits, revealed Lingle as more racketeer than re- porter. It was learned that he had used his position with the powerful Tribune to act as a go-between for gangsters with the police. He was so friendly with former Police Chief William Russell that the two were reported 10 have had a joint broker ago account which at one time was built up to S20000o. At the sana time he was an intimate Of Scarfaco Al Capone and was Capone's house guest at Miami, Fla. His income was estimated at S6o,oo0 a year.
 These revelations set investigators to following new trails. The theory that Lingle was killed to intimidate the press was abandoned. IT seemed more likely that he had been killed for violating some law of the under world in his transactions with gang sters.
 It was inevitable that the Lingle murder, in the light of his gang ant police connections, would have fa1 reaching effects on the Chicago anti crime war. These effects and tho personalities they involve will be the subjects of further dispatches 1T this series.
