Army Headquarters
AT Suchow Believed
Ready TO Withdraw
Chinese NutionoIists
Admit Reds Are SheIIing
AirfieId 5 Miles Away
By the Associoted Press


NANKING, Sunday, Nov. IA
Reliable sources said today the
government plans to withdraw
its army headquarters from Su-
chow, the big base around which
eddies a decisive battle for
China.
Official quarters were silent on
this report, but it was acknowledged
that encirciing Communist forces
we're shelling the airfield five miles
east of Suchow.
The field is the one remaining
link between SuchoW and Marking,
200 miles to the southeast, now that
the railway has been cut.
Informants said the government
headquarters would be moved 100
miles south to Pengpu. The rail-
way city of Rengpu is l08 miles by
rail northwest of Nanking.
Threat To Whole Position.
The Communist radio asserted the
Reds had all but encircled Gen.
Huang Po-tao's Seventh Army
Corps on the eastefn flank of the
Suchow front. where only two days
ago the government claimed a ma
jor victory on the Grand Canal.
If this is correct. the whole Su-
chow position is endangered and
the government must retreat to
Pengpu or risk encirclement. The
Grand Canal covered the east flank
of Sucnow.
Waves of government warplanes
had been thrown into the battle.
but aerial activity had stopped at
dawn. Whether the lapse is due to
weather or change in the military
situation is not known.
Chinese officers who were happy
two days ago over the news of vic
tory east of Suchow again lapsed
into dependency. Their feelings
usually are a good barometer of the
wars progress.
Legislators May Flee.
Reliable sources said members OF
the legislative yuan we're told at a
private meeting facilities would be
provided for removing members and
their families who want to leave
Nanking.
This was said to have been as
sured the legislators by Sun Fo, pre-
sident Of the legislative yuan, and
Chen Li-fu, the vice president.
IF true, this indicated the gov
ernment was going ahead with
plans for abandoning Marking
if necessary, despite previous de-
nials)
The tension which had relaxed
among government officials after the
report of the Grand Canal victory
was again apparent
The pro-government reports of
the shelling of the Suchow air field
did not say whether the field still
was in use
Dispatches late yesterday to pro-
government papers and to the Of
fetal Central News Agency said
the Nationalists had broken the
Communist line at Chanchuan viii
lage, near the Grand Canal some
40 miles east of Suchow, and had
recovered two other villages.
Casualties Put at $4,000
Pro-government estimates of Com
munist casualties in the four days
of heavy fighting around Suchow
were raised to $4,000.
Raising some doubts of the gov
ernment claims of more than hold
ing it's own against the Communist
onslaught. one press report told Of
an unidentified village changing
hands three times yesterday alone.
A Central News account also men,
toned fighting on both sides Of the
