rear of freight train last night, de-
railing five cars but not seriously
injuIying any Of its 80 passengers.

Hungry Mukden People
Reported Hanging Selves

NANKING, Jan. is (P.-Residents
Of besieged Mukden are hanging
themselves because of lack Of food"
a government source said today and
reported large-scale air evacuation
of the big Manchurian city had be-
gun.
TT Is easier to fly people out than
fly food in." he explained.
Government sources emphasized
that every effort would be exerted
to prevent capture of the city by
Chinese Communist armies In its
vicinity. They conceded Mukden's
fall would shatter the backbone Of
government resistance in Manchuria.
Peiping dispatches reported some
1000 government workers were to
be flown from Mukden within 30
days.
Lending substance to the reports
was the governments commissioning
of Claire l.. Chennaults commercial
airline to make shuttle flights from
Peiping to Mukden for an unspeci-
fed emergency.
Government sources did not say
how many would be evacuated.
