The high commands evident
policy of force continues to over

The Governments capture of
Antung and it's attacks on Chefoo

Sun Fo, president of the Legisla-

bers of the Kuomintang cabinet,
are reported genuinely anxious to
achieve settlement of the civil war
through negotiation and COM
promise. Their efforts have been
puny compared to the tactics of
other Kuomintang cliques, which
argue that the best means Of set
ling the Communist question is on
the battlefield.
There have been no open breaks
between the Kuomintang factions,
but friction is plainly evident. Many
observers say Chang Kai-shek him.

The military situation is COM
pletely upsetting minority party
hopes of persuading Communist
negotiator, Chou En-lai, and other
Red leaders to compromise and re-

Actually prospects for peace are
less hopeful than before Chou was
persuaded to return here from his
runout to Shanghai.
Most competent observers here say

u. Strained Chinese
Seize Port Sealing Off
Communist Forces
BY the Associoted Press

PEIPING, Oct. 26.-Two Amer.
ican-trained Chinese armies
lancing So to 73 miles in two
days, seized the port of Antune
at Korea's border today ane
sealed off an undetermined num-
ber Of Communist troops ir
South Manchuria.
An emergency military conference
announced the lightning capture oi
Antung. Front dispatches said
Antung's defenders were falling back
to the northeast toward the Com
munist-held areas of Northern Man
churia.
All other Communist forces active
in Southern Manchuria were caught
however, in a huge government
pincher, for Chefoo, their only port
of escape in China proper, was under
attack from land and sea.
Blackout on Chefoo News.
A news blackout still hung over
the government assault on Chefoo,
which is 240 miles southwest of
Antung across the Yellow Sea and
which served as landing and take
off point for Communists operating
in Manchuria.
The two blows appeared closely
co-ordinated and it was likely their
strategy was mapped at recent high
military conferences in Peiping.
While government gunb oats
blasted at Chefoo's shore batteries,
and her troops fought into the
suburbs, Gen. Tu Li-ming, national
commander in Manchuria, hurled
some of his finest troops into action
far to the north.
His United States trained and
equipped SD Army drove south
eastward down the Mukden-Antung
railway. The new Sixth Army, also
Americanftrained and armed, struck
almost due eastward for Antung.
Retreating to Northeast.
On Thursday the SID took Chiku-
wanshan, SO miles northwest of An
tung, while the Sixth appeared in
Siuyen, 73 miles west of the port.
Fengcheng, IS miles northwest of
the border city, fell Friday and that
night the first government troops
rolled into Antung. Swiftness of
the capture of this city of 100000
made it appear Antung fell without
fight.
Government dispatches said the
Communist troops in Antung were
retreating toward Hwanjen and
Tsain, near the Korean-Manchu-
rian frontier approximately 120
miles to the northeast.
Despite government claims that
Communist resistance in the Paot-
ing sector had collapsed, the Reds
doggedly clung to Hsushui, 13 miles
north of the Hopeh Province capi-
tai. Fighting also was reported at
Kueheng, miles further north
which the Nationals captured few
days ago.
In North China, the Communists
attacked isolated Yulin, 100 miles
north of Yenan in Northern Shensi
Province. Government sources said
the garrison there was not expected
to hold out. Yulin is the only gov
ernment-held district there and is
too far from supply points to be
aided, national sources conceded.
