the enemy or those to whom the

detrimental to the American cause
In District Court suit filed yes
terday asking that his name be
voided as a blocked" national. Mr.

being deprived of the use, control
or disposition of all his property
in the United States without due
process of law"
Named as defendants were Sec
retary of State Byrnes, Secretary
of the Treasury Vinson. Secretary
OF Commerce Wallace and Attorney

Filed through Attorney Francis
A. Mahony, the suit said the plain
tiff has been loyal citizen of SWe-
den and that his name was wrongly
placed on the list. 1t upheld Mr.
Wenner-Gren as an advocate of
democracy, opposed to Naziism and
fascism.
Mr.. Wenner-Gren's present ad-
dress was given as Mexico City. A
close friend of the Duke and
Duchess of Windsor, he lived in the
Bahamas for several years and de-
veloped vast estate there. The
Bahamian government also black
listed him and took over his vege-
table canning plant for the wal
effort.

China Reds Believed
Occupying Harbin as
Russians Withdraw
BY the A.sociotsd Pres.

NANKING, April 26.-Commu-
mist forces today presumably oc-
cupied Harbin, important North
Manchurian railroad center, but
breakdown in communications
obscured the situation.
The Governments Central News
Agency said destruction of communi-
cations between Mukden and Har-
bin made it impossible to ascertain
whether the last Soviet units had
left Harbin, as scheduled.
However. earlier reports to the
Marking newspaper Takungpao said
the Soviets had begun the with
drawal of their rear guard yesterday
the same day Marshal Rodion
Malinovsky, commandant of Rus
sia's Far East forces, quit the city
No Position for Challenge.
The newspaper speculated that
Communists had cut communica-
ton outlets as a preliminary to
taking Harbin in the wake Of the
Soviet withdrawal.
The nearest government troops
were well over 200 miles to the south
An official spokesman in Chungking
indicated the government was in no
position Immediately to challenge
the Communists for control of
Harbin.
"a Mukden dispatch received
in Chungking reported the Com
munists already had prepared
self government" officials to take
over in Harbin. There were no
detailsJ
Demand Share in Regime.
A party spokesman said the Com
munists will not surrender Harbin
nor recently captured Changchun
the Manchurian capital. until they
effect a political settlement with
the government. They demand a
share in the provincial government
of Manchuria.
un Chungking, Communist
spokesman, Gen. Chou En-lai, to-
night reiterated that his party's
price for discussion of the Man
churian problem was an "uncon-
ditional truce" that would leave
the Communists in full possession
OF the major portion of that vast
territory's rich provinces. Chou
said he hoped soon to personally
investigate the Manchurian prob
lem.
*. c. W. minister of informa-
ton, replied IAN unconditional
truce would only serve to legiti-
Matte the Communists viola
tion of the January 10 cease fire
order which authorized the gov
ernment to take over occupied
Manchuria from Russian forces.")
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek S
announced willingness to negotiate
may lead to an early solution.
AS Gen. George c. Marshall, spe-
cial American envoy, worked in
Chungking to effect a truce, it was
reported here that Gen. Hsu Yung-
chang, chief of the Board'of Military
Operations, would replace Minister
of War Chen Cheng as the govern
ments member of the Sino- Amer
lean committee of three. Gen. Mar
shall is the American member and
Gen. Chou represents the Com
munists. Chen is in Shanghai re-
cuperating from stomach ailment
Marking, meanwhile, prepared to
assume its role of Chinas capital

Gen. Chou and Gen. Hsu all are
