forcements to Manchuria today amid

and bloodiest battle of the civil war

determined effort to wrest that vast
northeast territory from the Com
munists.
This official, who declined use OF

Manchuria and that possession OF
that region was the main Commu-
mist war objective.
The current fighting In China
proper, notably the deep raiding ex-
pedition of Communist Gen. Liu

was described by this official as a
diversion. He said these and other
Communist bandits south of the
