Chang S Staff Chief
Speeds 10 Take Lead
In Paoting Defense
BY the Asseeiassd Press

PEIPING, Oct. 5.-Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek's chief Of stan,
Gen. Chen Cheng, flew to Peiping
to-day as Communist forces closed
In on Paoting, capital Of Hopeh
Province, and pushed government
troops from the outer defenses Of
that walled city.
Gen. Chen, accompanied by .
large staff, rushed here on Gen.
Chiang's orders to direct the Paoting
battle.
He called two extraordinary con-
ferences here of Gen. Chiang's top
military leaders In North China and
Manchuria, presumably to chart the
governments offensives against
Kalgan, Communist military base In
Chahar Province.
Thirteen thousand Red troops
were thrown In q tight circle around
Paoting, said the Catholic news
paper Social Welfare. As Commu-
nists penetrated the outer defenses
government officers joined civilians
in digging trenches and erecting
| barriers.
Meanwhile, government troops
organized counterattacks.
Assault Slackens Elsewhere.
The Communist assault slackened
on some other sections of the 90
mile stretch of the Peiping -Hankow
railroad as government reinforce
ments pushed southwark from
Chohsien, 40 miles south Of Peiping
and northward from Chihchia-
chualig.
Military observers speculated
whether the Communists retalia-
tory attack on Paoting and the vital
railroad had disrupted Gen. Chiang's
schedule for q quick death blow to
Kalgan. The government continued
its news blackout of the latter
operation.
Yesterdays attack on an Ameri-
can Marine ammunition dump near
Tangku raised speculation that Chi
lnese Communists Intentionally are
creating an incident to keep alive
their propaganda aimed at getting
the Marines out of China.
That the 200 armed Chinese who
assaulted the Hsinho depot were
seeking ammunition was considered
unlikely. The Communists have
japanese weapons so American am
munition would be Of no use to
them. They said recently they are
manufacturing their own arms and
ammunition and could produce
enough for 20-year civil war.
Attack Followed Stain Statement.
One marine was wounded, one
Chinese was killed and another Chi
nese, wounded. was captured and
questioned.
Observers pointed out that the
attack followed closely Prime Minis
ter Stalin's declaration that the
Marines should withdraw from
North China and Chinese govern
ment leaders predictions that there
would be more incidents as the
Communists intensified anti-Amer.
ican propaganda campaign now has
Soviet backing.
Communists for the first time
chose a Marine installation as an
objective. Previously, they struck
only at Marine personnel. Early
last summer they kidnapped seven
marines. whom they later released
They ambushed q Marine convoy
near Anping, July 20, killing four
marines and wounding IL.

 ROUNDUP
BY HUGH FULLERTON

NEW YORK, June 13.-Billy Conn is planning to go through sev- eral swift rounds of shadow box ing in his dressing room before meeting Joe Louis tomorrow night Tie idea is that Billy, slow starter, will then te ready to go when the big fight starts But there's another angle of the slow starting that has been evident in training camp reports. Every time Billy laid off for couple of days, he looked bad in the next session anS conn, Of course, won't risk any real boxing today That's one of several reasons why this writer is picking Louis to win in six rounds or less Another is the 450-odd miles of road work Joe has done Jce isn't fancy stopper in the ring but he keeps moving in where he can hit the otker guy and we can't figure how his legs will tire if the fight goes one round or fifteen.

 The San Francisco Seals have virtually caught up with the Oak land Acorns again for Pacific Coast League Baseball leadership.
 San Francisco moved into the near-tie last night Although they were outhit ten to eight, the Seals reaped 12 walks off three Rainier chuckers and took advantage of three errors. Al Lien, third Seal moundsman, got credit for the vic- tory.
 The defeat was Seattle's fourth in a row since Jo Jo White took over as manager of the club.
 Red Lynn came out of a slump and turned in a three-hit game last night for a 1O-6 Los Angeles vic tory over the Portland Beavers. The Angels pounded two Beaver hur1ers for IA hits.
 Los Angles did US most damage and apparently demoralized the Beavers in the second inning, when the Beavers left first uncovered on an infield hit with the bags loaded and two out Before the frame was over the Angels had put across five runs
 The other four clubs of the league were idle last night. San Diego begins a series against the Acorns at Oakland, and Sacra- mento taxes on the Stars at Holly wood, both sides opening tonight.
