Chinese Reds Capture
Guerrilla Chieftain,
Call Him U. 5. Agent
BY the Assoeiated Press

HONG KONG. Feb. 24.-The
Red China radio announced today
the capture of an anti Communist
guerrilla chieftain described as an
agent for United States i'm
lperialists.
The guerrilla was identified
only as Wusman. He was re-
ported siezed just south of the
mystery -shrouded Far Western
province of Sinkiang (where the
Reds said Wusman operated.
The Peiping radio said Wusman
was captured at Haitzu. across
Sinkiang's southern border, in
Tsinghai Province. He probably
will die soon before a firing squad.
The broadcast said 100 of Wus-
mans followers also were cap
tured.
At the same time. Communist
dispatches from China said five
''Natisaalist" agents were exc
cuted in Canton yesterday. They
included Hsu Ia, described as a
graduate of the United States
Military Staff College and later a
Nationalist intelligence officer
who stayed in China to work with
guerrillas.
The Reds last year linked Wus-
man with the late Douglas Mack
iernan, American vice consul at
Sinkiang who was killed last April
by Tibetan border guards.
Sinkiang, far northwestern
province twice the size of Texas,
adjoins Russia and, long has been
under Soviet influence. 1t is be-
lieved to have. uranium deposits,
and the Russians now hold so per
cent Of mineral and oil rights
there. 1t is one of the regions
which Secretary Of State Acheson
has said Russia is In the process

The Chinese Reds conceded last
May l they were having guerrilla
trouble in Sinkiang. They blamed
more than 1000 bandits" led by
Wusman and another chieftain
named Yaolobou. They said these
two were under the direction of
American imperialist agent Doug
las S? Mackiernan."
The American State Depart
ment called these and earlier
charges involving Mr.. Mackiernan
the usual tripe." -
