gan assumed command of the main
body and organized his defense in
the ditch along the road. The shat
tered point was completely cut off
by fire across an open space in the
road where no bitches existed While
a getaway jeep raced for help at
Tientsin, Flanagan directed the re-
turn fire of the Marines until action
was broken off at p. m. and one
of the army officers materially assist
ed in placing the patrols mortars and
heavy machine guns and directing
their fire.
About 4 p m. a bugle sounded
at the Chinese command post which
was located in the tree clump to the
right of the road Fire from all
Chinese positions was Immediately
intensified for a period of about two
minutes and then ceased. A white
flag was raised on the compound
wall. A Navy corpsman with two
interpreters started forward but was
shot in the leg. This was the last
round of the engagement.
The wounded were tended the
patrol mounted up and proceeded to
Peiping. Most of the casualties were
suffered by the point in the initial
grenade barrage Only two men
were wounded by rifle fire.
The attackers were well organized,
the ambush perfectly prepared, and
the attack without warning was
vigorous and aggressive. They wore
blue-gray and tan uniforms and some
were dressed in peasant clothes.
The efficiency of the Marine de
Tense is attested by the fact that
only two casualties were received af-
ter the surprise attack by grenades.
The only vehicle left behind by the
patrol were damaged trucks which
could not be started.
The jeep dispatched to Tientsin
for help overturned and the occu-
pants had to hitch-hike to Tientsin
via a Chinese vehicle, causing valu-
able time to be lost before word
of the attack could be delivered to
Marine Headquarters. A heavily
armed patrol with combat air sup
port and light observation planes
was sent out as soon as it could
be organized. This force searched the
area where the fight took place but
found none of the attackers. 1t re-
paired the vehicles, recovered bodies
of Marine dead and went on to Peip-
ing.
The patrol returned the next day
and an air scare began at dawn, but
all that was revealed was a peace

An Account Of The Recent Chinese
Ambush Of A Motorized Marine Patrol
By Capt Thomas A. Watson USMCR
Marine Corps Correspondent
Especial to The Gobe-ndependenD
TIENTsIN. China (Delayed)

TIENTSIN, China (Delayed) -
Shortly afternoon on Monday, July
90. a motorized patrol of the first
Marine Division escorting a supply
convoy from here to Peiping was
ambushed by an estimated 300 uni
formed Chinese at the village of
Ia Hsiao San Mo, about 80 miles
southeast of Peiping. In the ensuing
battle, which lasted four hours, one
officer and two enlisted men were
killed and four Marines seriously
wounded. Also hospitalized were an
officer and an enlisted Marine, with
injuries resulting from motor acct
dents which were incidental to the
attack. Estimated Chinese casualties
were u dead and an unknown num-
Der wounded.
The patrol was comprised OF one
officer and Al enlisted Marines,
mounted in two radio jeeps, one
ieep, two One-ton reconnaissance
six Marine tWo-and-one half ton
trucks. The convoy was made up of
an executive headquarters staff car
containing three U. S. Army officers,
six Marine twoand-one half ton
trucks with Marine drivers, loaded
with food and military supplies, and
one CNRRA (cq) truck with Chinese
driver. A Marine officer was in
charge of the convoy. Patrols of this
type travel the housekeeping
highway every third day for the
purpose of inspecting the road and
as protection for supply conveys for
the Marine forces at Peiping and the
U. S. Army executive headquarters.
Communications are normally
maintained through radio jeeps, with
relays just outside Tientsin and Peip-
ing. Regular 10-minute reports were
received from the patrol until 11:3O
a. m. when atmospheric conditions
caused failure. After the attack
started it was impossible to man the
radio jeeps.
The section of the road where the
attack occurred is eminently suitable
for ambush. The road is raised be-
tween deep bitches with tall corn
growing right to the deep cuts on
both sides of the highway. There
is clump of trees on the west side
of the road with small, walled
compound just opposite. The village
of Ia Hsiao San Ho is about 500
yards from the highway.
The attackers had arranged a road
block of two wheelless oxcarts be-
tween the trees and the wall of the
compound and a machine gun was
emplaced at the south corner of the
compound, covering the road per-
fectly.
When the point of the patrol reach
ed the road block the attack be-
gan without warning. A potato
masher type grenade was thrown
just as the patrol leader dismount-
ed from his jeep, killing him in
stantly Immediately other grenades
were thrown at all vehicles in the
point. At the same time rifle fire,
supported by one automatic weapon,
opened from the tree clump. AS the
main body of the patrol and the
convoy rolled to a stop, accurate,
heavy rifle fire was received from
another clump of trees about 800
yards to the right of the road and
from the right and left rear.

Russia Unlikely To Get Billion
 American Loan

WASHINGTON, (P) Russia's request for a $1,OOO,O 100000 Amer ican loan appears doomed today unless Soviet leaders cease their criticism of United States foreign economic policy.
 Similarly, Czechoslovakia and Poland may find it difficult to win approval of their requests for loans totalling $85O,O00,OOO from the dominated World Bank.
 Secretary of State Byrnes him self made clear at his news con- ference yesterday that the United States will limit it's future finan- cial aid to friendly countries who do not brand dollar credits as in struments of economic enslav- ment.
 Byrnes' announcement was de- signed on the surface as a reply to numerous questions why this gov ernment last week suddenly cut off a total of 9O,OO0,OOO in Amer ican aid to Czechoslovakia.
 But officials said privately the secretary's remarks were directed mainly at the Russian leaders who unleached a barrage of criticism against American economic policy during the Paris peace conference.

Canadians Want to Keep Britain As Highest Court

LONDON, (PO - Five Canadian provinces opened a fight before the British Privy Council today against a Canadian law which would sever the DoniniOns last judiciary link with the throne of Britain.
 The case was brought on ap- peal from the Canadian Supreme Court, which upheld validity of a bill enacted by the Canadian Par lament in 1889 barring appeals from the Supreme Court to the Privy Council. The effect of the law would make the Canadian Supreme Court the last legal re- sort of Canadians.
 The appeal was taken by the provinces of Ontario, British Co., ulmbia, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, with Quebec as an intervener. Respondents were the attorneys-general of Canada and the provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

Higghlights Of
 Truman's Address To United Nations

NEW YORK, (Pt-Topical high lights of President Truman's ad- dress before the General Assem- bly of the United Nations:
 War Alarms
 Lately we have all heard talk about the possibility of another world war. Fears have been aroused all over the world.
 These fears are unWarranted and unjustified
 Allied Friction
 Differences have arisen among the Allies. It will not help us to pretend that this is not the case But it is not necessary to exagger- ate the differences.
 For my part, I believe there is no difference of interest that need stand in the way of settling these problems
 oPheISS or 1HISISSL
 Above all, we must not permit differences in economic and social systems to stand in the way of peace
 To permit the United Nations to be broken into irreconCilable parts by different political philos- ophieS would bring disaster to the world.
 Atomic Warfare
 Two of the greatest obligations toward the removal of fear remain to be fulfilled.
 First, we must reach an agree ment establishing international controls of atomic energy that win ensure it's use for peaceful pur- poses only
 Second, we must reach agree ment that will remove the deadly fear of other weapons of mass de- Struction
 Shackles for War
 We shall also press for agreements in order that the Se- curity Council may have at it's disposal peace forces adequate to. prevent acts of aggression.
 Formula for Peace
 Difficult as the task may be, the path along which agreements may be sought is clearly de- fined.
 Every member of the United Nations is legally and morally bound to keep the peace Every member is bound to refrain in it's international relations from the threat, or use, of force against the territorial integrity or politi- cal independence of any state.
 Planning, initiating or waging a war of aggression. is a crime against humanity for which indi- viduals as well as states shall be tried before the bar of interna- tional justice.
