'CIean-Cut' Man Sought
In Missing Actress Case
BY the Assoeiofed Press

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 11.-Police
today sought a "clean-cut young
man" repeatedly seen with Jean
Elizabeth Spangler, a movie bit
player, several hours after she
disappeared Friday.
Two witnesses identified photo
graphs of the 27-year-old actress
as girl they had seen in a Holly
wood cafe with "neat-appearing
man between 80 and 35 years Of
age" early Saturday.
Detective w. E. Brennan said a
man of that description also had
been seen with Miss Spangler the
night before she disappeared.
Earlier, an unnamed friend told
police he had talked with her Sat
urday night in a Hollywood mar
ket-about 20 hours after she had
vanished. But that clue fizzled
under questioning of the man by
detectives. Mr.. Brennan said the
friend changed his story to say
that it was Thursday night and
not Saturday night that he had
chatted with Miss Spangler.
Police yesterday searched the
Fern Dell Canyon section Of Grit
fifth Park where her purse, the
handles torn loose, was found
Sunday.
Investigators were mystified
over a note in the purse reading
''Kirk-cant wait any longer.

Elizabeth Spangler, is visiting rel
atives in Lexington, KY.

whether they had been ap-

CANTON, Oct. 11.-Communist
troops today drove to within 40
miles of Canton, which already is
the Nationalist capital in name
only.
The flight of officials to the new
capital to be set up at Chungking
stepped up as the Reds drove
swiftly southwark.
Latest city to fall was Tsingyun,
40 miles to the north, reports
reaching here said. There was no
report of Nationalist opposition.
Earlier the Reds were said to have
occupied Yingtak without opposi-
ton. That town is rs miles north
of Canton.

White Cloud Airdrome for Chung
king, China's wartime capital
nearly 600 miles northwest. Act
ing President Ii Tsung-jen and
Premier Yen Hsi-shan probably
will leave tomorrow.
1t was understood the new Com
munist advance resulted in a cabi-
net order for emergency evacua-
ton of the government to Chung
king by tomorrow. The Reds
forced the government to flee
Nanking last May.
All transport from Canton was
booked solid. Planes, ships and

to have arrived by plane from

Nationalist military leaders
avowed determination to hold

it. Observers inclined to the be-
lief that if the Reds exerted full
pressure, the Nationalists would
abandon Canton and take up
positions in a southwestern pocket
