ment claimed modest victory in
Central China tonight, but rumors
spread through Marking that an

Communists was in the wind.
A military communique said three
Communist columns (nominally

miles northeast of Suchow, the

Chinese Communists Hail
Unity With Russia

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6 P.-
The Chinese Communist radio to-
day broadcast a statement of unity
with Soviet Russia for world revo-
luton. 1t bitterly attacked the
United States.
The broadcast led off with con-
gratulations from Chairman Mao
Tse-tung and Commander-in-chief
Ghu Teh to Prime Minister Stain
on the 31st anniversary of the Soviet
Revolution November 7.
I'VE hail the constant strengthen
ing of the u. S. S. R., ,bulwark OF
world peace and democracy, and
close cooperation between the
peoples of China and the Soviet
Union," the message said.
The radon, heard in San Fran
cisco by the Associated Press, then
broadcast the text Of an article writ
ten by Mao for the Cominform
magazine published in Bucharest.
A portion of this article dealing
with Communist plans to conquer
all China already had been reported
from Bucharest.
The full text, however, went much
farther in assailing the United
States and urging world revolution
under Soviet leadership.

The Wall Street strike persisted

Some selling was based on dis

labor disputes and belief the market
had pretty well taken into account
big spending for rearmament and
European relief.
Expectations that the tax cut bill

the thought that perhaps, this de-

counted.
