CHANG GETS AID
Of 10000 REDS
Northwest Communists on
Way to Join Battle
Against Japan.
BY the Associated Press.


SIAN sHENsI PROVINCE, Sep
tember 1l.-Northwest China's Com
munist armies, 200, 900 strong. were
ready to move east tonight into the
affections Of the Nanking government
and the teeth Of broad Japanese
offensive throughout Northeast China.
The repentant legions became an
integral part of the national army
with official Chinese announcement
through the Nanking Central Gov
ernment's Military Affairs Commission
here OF their repatriation.
The announcement said that Cen
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek himself
effected the Incorporation of the for
mer rebel armies in the ofiicial scheme
of China's defense.
Chu Teh Commander.
Chang appointed Chu Teh COM
mander-in-ch and Peng Teh-hsm
vice commander. They have led the
armies in countless battles against
Nanking forces.
The new force, now known as
the Eighth Army. developed from
several weeks OF petitioning Nanking
for their recognition as q part of the
nations defense.
With much OF their experience
gained fleeing before Chiang's troops
over the major portion Of China, the
Eighth Army has been welcomed as q
bulwark against the present invasion.
Gems. Chu and Peng are said here
to have pledged their support to
Chang. Entering the Japanese con-
nict has been their long cherished de-
sire.
Not long ago Nanking placed a price
on the heads Of Chu and Peng as re-
lentless enemies of nationalist China.
Red Leader Reported Freed.
1t was reported here that as another
fraternal gesture Marking has released
from prison Chen Hsfu, an outstand-
ing Communist leader who is now ex-
pected to join the Eighth Army.
The Nanking action removes what
has been in AL likelihood the greatest
internal enemy with which the admin
istration has had to cope. Commun-
1st opposition since the inception of
the Marking government has cost un-
told millions OF dollars and the lives
and services of untold thousands of
men.
