 THREATENED,
 COMMUNISTS
Chinese Government 0f- fieiaIs Flee : Fate of
 Americans Unknown
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

Chinese government officials in Harbin. frightened at the prospect iof capture by Communist forces a fate that presumably befell their fellows in Changchun-fled by air plane today to goverhment-c con- trolled Mukden.
 Simultaneously. an official spokas- man in Chungking conceded that the Communists could take Har- bin without struggle after Rus sian troops withdraw from that im- portant North Manchuria city next Friday. He said the government had no troops there. The Com munists dominate North Manchuria.
 He also made the startling &C., Acknowledgement that National troops have not capture Szepingkai-de- spite previous claims-and belated- ly reported the fall of Changchun, the capital of Manchuria.
 Situation Graue
 In fact, said tEe spokesman, the Schti dA MdiltiiuAAdii oibudtAoh 10 very grave" from the government viewpoint.
 He gave this explanation of the battle for Szepingkai, important railroad center about half way be- tween governments Muk- den and Changchun:
 A vanguard of the governments new First Army entered Szeping- kai, met strong Communist resis tance, and halted to consolidate it's forces.
 Taken Prisoners
 An officials dispatch published in Peiping said 50 government offi- cials had been taken prisoner in Szepingkai by the Communists.
 It was the withdrawal of Rus sia's last occupation troops from Changchun last Sunday midnight that precipitated the Communists successful onslaught on the Man churian capital
 Harbin, 150 air miles north of Changchun. is the key communi- cations center for North America.
 Learns of Flight
 Associated Press Correspondent Spencer Davis learned of the flight of Harbin officials to government controlled Mukden, 324 air miles to the south, at Sino-A American truce headquarters in Peiping.
 He said the Harbin officials fled for reasons of environment" - fear of repetition of Changchun's violence.
 Davis said Sino- American head quarters had no work concerning seven Americans-five correspon- dents and two army men-who went to Changchun last week to ob- serve the Russian withdrawal. Head quarters assumed that Chinese gov- ernment officials in Changchun were taken into custody by the Communists.
 Corpses Piled Up
 The Government Peace Daily News, in Chungking, published a special dispatch from Szepingkai reporting that government troops which entered the outskirts, of the city early this week found the city devastated, with corpses piled many places, including the bodies
 
 of women and children"
 In Chungking, General Marshalls headquarters today sought the re- moval of the seven Americans from Changchun.

CANADIAN BACKGROUND

A lot of people have had their doubts as to whether Lew is a Republican. or a Democrat, and some friends chide him as to whe- ther his family is American or Canadian. He has operated success fully in both parties and both countries.
 Lew's grandfather was Scottish professor of geology who migrated 10 Arizona via Canada and estab- lished the beginnings of the Phelps Dodge copper millions. Douglas, Arizona, is named for the family.
 Lew's grandfather kept his Can- adian citizenship, even sending his wife back to Canada whenever a child was expected, so that it. too, would be Canadian. Of his two sons, Walter Douglas kept his Can adian citizenship to the end, but Lew's father, Jimmy Douglas, didn't.

WASHINGTON-For some time a. hot behind -the-scenes row has been raging over the person of charming, vivacious Lewis Doug las, who has held more jobs in Government than anyone else in Washington, and who is now up for appointment as head of the new World Bank.
 < This bank, to be created under Breton Woods, will be about the most powerful economic force in the world. It will have the power to develope or retard countries. It can make or prevent revolutions. It will become, for smaller coun- tries, what the small-town banker is to the corner grocer.
 The man so far slated for this important job enjoys the unique distinction of being the only man who could outcharm Franklin Roosevelt. Douglas rowed with Roosevelt, resigned as his Director of the Budget. organized the Tn dependent Democrats" did his best to defeat Roosevelt in l940. Yet he was always able to win his way back into FDR's good graces.
 Friends said Douglas fascinated the late President because he was the. only man who had better technique as a charmer.
 Once during the l943 Churchill Roosevelt conference in Quebec, FDR asked Douglas to fly up from washington and serve as special charm disseminator. General Mar shall and Admiral King were row. ing with Sir Allen Brooke and the British General Staff over Far Eastern strategy, so Douglas was asked to pour oil on the troubled waters. He did.
