About Linya
Forces Carried
To Fight Scene
By u. S. Troops

ChinWangta. Nov. 9. - (AP) -
American transported Chinese Ma
lionaliSt troops have moved into bat
tie positions opposing the Yenan
Communist forces along the eastern
end OF the Great Chinese Wall,
boundary between disputed north
China and Manchuria.
But, possibly because of the
e of American marines i'll
key positions in the area, fight
ing has not broken out, despite
the fact that thousands of Ma
tionalist and Communist troops
oppose each other AT Linya, the
ancient city which formed part
of the Great Wall and is its east
ern anchor Oh the Gulf of Chilli,
ten miles north of ChihVangtaO.
The elements of two Chinese
Nationalist Armies, the 18Th and
52nd, were put ashore by United
States amphibiCus formes under Vice
Adm. Daniel Barley.
Troops Spread Out
At first the Chinese troops crowd
ed into this relatively small harbor
city and milled about doing nc..ing
before they spread out toward the
Great Wall OF Ch,a and the strong
forces of the Communist 9th army
along i.
From all indications the Commun-
lists are well drug-ln, both in and
around Linya and are sufficiently
mobile to swing in either direction
to combat any forced entry into
MSuchuria along that sector.
Meanwhile, in C~hungking, 1t. Gen.
Albert G. Wedemeyer, U. S. COM
mander in China, just returned to his
China command from Washington,
found himself involved in a long
range controversy with Communist
leaders. who renewed charges of u.
5. intervention in China's civil war.
Minor Skirmishes
WCdcmeycr denied intervention,
but said his troops had been caught
in minor skirmishes.
Simultaneously, representatives Of
the Chinese government and the
Communists reported some progress
as they resumed negotiations on a

spokesman said the chief obstacle
was the demand that Nationalist
troops be withdrawn Immediately
from Communist liberated area.
The New China Daily News,
while specifying that the latest

been bloodlcss, charged that
American troops and armored
vehicles .}pcarheaded the Ma
tionalist capture of a railroad

Wedemeyer said that American

trouble but said they had been
