Reds Closing In
On Shanghai
(By Fr#d Hampton)
SHANGHAI, UP) — Communist
troops today seized Wuhing, a key
point 40 miles north of Hangchow,
the main prop for Shanghai.
Wuhing is 36 miles west of Has
hing, control point on the Shang

Hashing, 62 miles southwest of
Shanghai, was in the path of a Red
column driving south from Soo
chow (Wuhsien).
Anationalist communique said
a Red drive on Shanghai appear
ed to be a move to protect the
flank of southbound columns.
It asserted the force coming
from the west had been checked
about 37 miles west of the metrop
olis near Kunshan, on the Shang
hai-Nanking railway. Trains to
Hunshan had quit running.
Vice admiral Oscar C. Badger,
commander of the western Pacific
fleet, said U. S. navy forces would
be retained at Woosung as long as
needed “in the safe evacuation of
American nationals from Shang
hai.” Woosung is some 100 miles

poo flows into the Yangtze.
President Truman said yester- .

were made.
Landing facilities used by the j
navy on the Whangpoo at Shang
hai have been closed. Badger’s an
nouncement was taken here to
mean the navy will keep units
near the Yangtze mouth with per
haps one vessel at Woosung.

Air lines said evacuation had
slackened. Some flights reported
a few vacancies and cancellations.
