TAKE FOOCHOW AGAIN
japanese May Be Pulling
Out OF Three Other
East Coast Ports
BY SPENCER MOOSA

CHUNGKING, May 19.-lR-The
Chinese high command announced
tonight that Chinese assault forces
had reoccupied the great east
coast city of Foochow, freeing the
first of China's important treaty
ports from Japanese rule. ~
It was the second time in four
years that the Chinese had won
back the strategic port, 125 miles
northwest of the Japanese island
of Formosa. The former capital
of Fukien province had been held
by the japanese since October
1914, and previously was enemy
occupied for five months in 1941.
May Quit Other Ports
There were indications that
Foochow, lying in the coastal de-
tense region where an American
invision of the Chinese coast has
been envisaged, was abandoned
by the Japanese. There also were
signs that enemy forces were pull
ing out of the east coast ports Of
Wenchow, Annoy and Swallow
Against independent p o S
which suggested that the Chinese
occupied Foochow virtually with
out bloodshed, the Chinese high
command said the city of 322, 725
was taken in a Chinese assault
that smashed enemy resistance.
The Chinese communique said
that Chinese forces, which were
driven out Of the city Tuesday
night after a brief penetration of
the central city area, received
reinforcements Wednesday and
launched an attack against the city
Thursday morning. By evening the
Chinese had beaten back the jap
anese garrison and broken into
the town, completing its occupa-
ton by 5 a. m. Friday.

SUBMITS DRAFT
Follow Phraseology OF
Amendment Submitted
Earlier By The French

SAN FRANCISCO, May 19-P)-
Russia submitted to the big five
foreign ministers today the draft
of a proposal accepting the prin-
ciple of self-defense action in Co
ordinating regional groups of ma
lions under a world peace-maklng
organization.
Differing from an American
sponsored amendment in language,
the Soviet proposal was reported
to recognize the principle that in
dividual countries or a group OF
nations have the inherent right to
act Immediately in self defense
if the security council OF a world
league fails to preserve peace.
There seemed, at first appraisal,
little if any difference in the SUBJ
stance of the Russian proposition
and the American-sponsored pro-
posal which has been accepted by
Latin American nations during pro-
ceedings of the United Nations
conference.
