Executive (truce) Headquarters, was
cut again today by Communist
raiders.
The Communists cut the route
Thursday but were driven off by

papers said there was a heavy en-
gagement around Chenting, but q
large scale government campaign to
clear the railway was expected in a

Military observers in Marking pre-
dicted that an imminent government
campaign in Southern Shantung
province would determine the fate of
an estimated 100000 Communists in
Shantung, Kiangsu and Hopeh.
Communist defeat, they said,
would mean collapse of any i'm
