Mouth Of Yangtze
by me Asseeie.sd Press

TAPEI. Formosa. May 20-The
Chinese Nationalists announced
tonight abandonment Of two
small groups of islands of the
mouth Of the Yangtze River, fur
ther weakening the blockade Of
Communist Shanghai.
The Saddle and Parker Islands
were evacuated last night. They
lie north of the larger Chusan
Islands which the Nationalists quit
earlier In the week and which
the Reds since have occupied.
The Nationalists again denied
rumors that they had withdrawn
from Quemoy Island, near the
Red port of Annoy. 1t is taken for
granted, however, that Quemoy
will be given up If the Reds
threaten it.
On another small cluster of
islands, the Wanshans Gadrones)
southwest OF Hong Kong and on
the approaches to Red Canton,
the Nationalist navy said 1t wiped
out more than 200 Communist
troops who landed yesterday.
The status of the Wanshans
was In some question, however.
Two independent Hong Kong
papers said the Reds had
seized all 80 Of them, but pas
sengerS on Hong Kong Macao
ship said they saw fighting in
progress on at least two of the
islands late Friday night. The
ship. the Kwangtung, was forced
to return to Hong Kong to
avoid the crossfire.)
Formosa. last main stronghold
OF the Nationalists, continued to
grid for an expected Red invasion.
Some quarters predicted 1t
would come by the end of June
Foreigners on Formosa were of
two minds. Some doubted the
Reds could mount an invasion this
year; others believed anything
could happen.
