ChungKing, Nov. 10.-(AP)
1t. Gen. Albert Wedemeyer,
commander Of American forces
IN China, predicted today that
all United States forces in China
would be out of the country by
early spring, and asserted flat
Iy that the United States would
not help China move troops into
Manchuria.
He emphatically declared that U.
S. forces and resources were mot
being employed to assist the Central
groups
Difficulties in debarkation of
Chinese Nationa sSt troops in
Russian-Secured Manchuria, he
added, are matters between the
Chinese and Soviet governments.
And he added, we won't be able
to move Chinese troops to Manchuria
by air. The ChiCese themselves can
do that
Chinese Get L. S. Planes
The Chinese, he explained, have
already obtained 20 American trans
port planes and want to buy so more
Asked how many surplus planes
were available in the area for pur
chase by the Chinese, he said he did
not know, that az army-naVy liquid
alton board is disposing Of surplus
goods in China, save for medical
supplies, bought by the UNRRA.
Other sources had estimated
the supply of surplus planes In
the theatre as low as 1000.
The American commander assert
ed, however, that the United States
would continue to assist in the re-
patriaton Of japanese from the
Chinese theatre, but that American
forces would remain nGn-partlsan as
far as the strife between the Gen.
tral government and the Commun-
lists is concerned. He expressed re-
gret about isolated clashes between
my men and dissident groups
