Guard Duty On
Chinese Railroad
PEIPING. (/P) — U. S. Marine
Corps headquarters today an-!
nounced the last of the Leather
necks will be withdrawn from
guard duty on the Peiping-Muk
den roalroad the latter half of De
cember.
The First and Second Battalions
of the Seventh Regiment will be
transferred to the West Coast of
the United States.
The withdrawal will leave Ma
rines in Peiping, Tientsin, Tangku
and Tsingtao. Those in the first
three places will keep open the
supply route to the U. S. branch
of executive headquarters in Peip
ing. Those at Tsingtao are at
tached to the U. S. Seventh Fleet,
which is training Chinese naval
cadets.
Removal of the Marines com
pletes the program in effect since
they began guarding the railroad
after the Japanese surrender. In
mid-October, Marines were re
moved from other sections of the
railroad when the Chinese Nation
al army took over.
While the Marines guarded the
line, service between Peiping and
Chinwangtao seldom was inter
rupted but since the government
took over, Chinese Communists
have attacked trains, destroyed
rails or blown up bridges almost
daily.
Communist demolition units to
day wrecked a passenger train
near Chating and a freight train
near Peitang.
American observers said the
Chinese Communists could be ex
pected to demand the removal of
the “few Marines” remaining in
North China. One said the removal
long planned, had been held up
for “an opportune moment.”
