SHANGHAI, (P) The govern ment confirmed today it has yield ed Hangchow to the Reds without a fight.
 Loss of this port and rail city 100 miles down the coast cut Shanghai's escape route to South China.
 A Shanghai garrison communi- que said Hangchow's defenders, a provincial peace preser n corps, withdrew at noon yester- day. Chinese press dispatches said a force of 4,000 communists took over. Hangchow's population is about 100000.
 The new Red advance trapped nationalist forces remaining in the big triangle bounded by Hang chow, ,Changhai and Nanking, 160 miles inland. One Red radio broad cast, elaborating on earlier claims, said 8O,000 nationalists were cap tured in this triangle. CThis was not confirmed elsewhere).
 Only sea lanes remained open to the government defenders, and they were using them. Evacuation of troops by ship was continuing on a fairly large scale today.

Truman May Carry Labor Bill Fight Citizens
tBy Jack BelD

WASHINGTON, (P)-The stun ming House defeat of administra- ton efforts to repeal the Taft Hartley labor law raised the pos sibility today that President Tru- man might carry his case directly to the people.
 MT. Truman's assertion last last week that vote on this issue would be regarded by him as a test of party loyalty backfired with PIT to 2O3 House vote yes terday approving the Republican backed Wood labor bill.
 For the President, this roll call vote represented a major political defeat on his campaign promise to wipe off the books the Taft-Hart- ley act passed by the Republican 80th Congress. This was true even though the Wood bill was still subject to final House action.
 Rep. Priest D.-TennD saw a flair chance" the House would send the bill back to its labor com mittee. However, that would leave the House with no Taft Hartley repealer before it at all.
 The White House kept silent to- day on how the President felt

House Returns Labor Bill To Committee
tBy Max Hall)

WASHINGTON, (A) - Truman Democrats today won a fight to send the Wood labor bill back to House committee.
 Their margin on the motion to recommit was three votes-212 to 2O9.
 This outcome left the House with no labor bill before it - in effect ending the great labor bat tie with a stalemate.
 The administration was unable to put through it's bill to repeal the Taft-Hartley law and enact la bor statutes more to the liking of the unions.
 On the other hand, it succeeded in preventing passage of the Wood bill which would repeal Taft Hartley in name, but keep most of it's essential provisions.
 House leaders indicated that in event of such an outcome-they would let the matter rest in the House for a while.
 Their strategy is to wait now and see what kind of bill the Sen ate may be willing to pass.
 The outcome of the recommittal vote was an upset for Republican leaders, who put the Wood bill over in the House yesterday with strong support from southern Democrats.
 Yesterdays voting turned up a margin of 217 to 203 for the Wood bill. That meant the administra-
