Pravda Charges U.
S. With Mongolian
Incident
MOSCOW, (>P)—A Pravda dis
patch said yesterday there was a
rumor in Shanghai that J. Hall
Paxton, U. S. consul in Tihwa.
“prepared and organized” the in
cident involving Chinese and
Mongolian frontier detachments
June 5.
The Communist party newspa
per termed this incident “a viola
I tion of the border of the Mongol
ian people’s republic.” 'The Chi
nese Central News Agency declar
ed Mongolian troops invaded Sin
! kiang province, with the aid of
warplanes bearing Soviet mark
ings.)
The Pravda dispatch said trav
elers from Sinkiang reported that
Paxton visited the frontier be
tween Russia, the Mongolian peo
ple’s republic and China in April
at the instruction of Gen. Dw:ght
D. Eisenhower and photographed
the area.
“They 'the travelers’ said,” the
Pravda correspondent wrote,
"that Paxton has exhibited a spe
cial interest in recent months in
the frontier districts.”
Czechs Apologize
For News Item
PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia (A*)—
The foreign ministry expressed
“profound regrets” and apologized
today for publication in the
Prague Communist weekly Tvorba
of “utterances touching in such an
offensive manner the President of
the United States.”
U. S. Ambassador Laurence
Steinhart had protested publica
tion of a poem by the Czech na
tional poet, S. K. Neumann, en-!
titled “Dollar Scoundrels.” The
Embassy announced the apology.
The foreign ministry said Czec
hoslovakia and the United States
j were in friendly relations and
asked the U. S. to “accept its
apologies as well as assurances
that the ministry of foreign af
fairs will do all in its power to as
sure that there is no repetition of
i the happening in the Czech press.”
Briton Blasts At
United States
i -
I LONDON, (/P)—Archibald Me
1 Dougall, president of the Amalga
mated union of foundry workers,
declared yesterday the United
States was using its economic
power to hold Britain to ransom
and to penetrate former British
markets.
‘This is power politics undi
luted,” McDougall told the annual
conference of the union, one of
Britain’s strongest, at Ayr, Scot
land. “And yet it is to America we
show the greatest allegiance in our
foreign policy while the Soviet
Union, which claims no naval or
air bases and has reduced its arm
ament to prewar standards, con
centrates its energies on recon
! structing its devastated lands.”

Red Offensive
In Manchuria
ins
k
PKPING Militai^ oth
ers said today the southern Man
churian offensive by the Chinese
Communists appeared to be gath
ering momentum.
The independent newspaper Yi
Shih Pao reported the fall of Pcn
shihhu, coal town south of Muk
den, and said the Communists
were pressing toward Yingkow.
Another column was attacking
Haicheng, 112 miles houthwe?t of
Mukden, and Anshan, coal area
developed by the Japanese 54
miles southwest of Mukden.
All important points south of
Penshihhu on the Mukden-Antung
railroad were reported lost to the
Communists.
Concentrating on the complete
isolation of Mukden, the Reds also
were slashing at Yinpan, about 20
miles west of the Gret Fushun
coal mine on the Mukden-Kirin
railway.
Government counterattacks the
oast twrf days at Szepingkai seem
to have blunted the Red offens ve
somewhat in that area. The Com
munists fought into Szepingkai
yesterday.
