He was not allowed to remain nor send any dispatches while there. Here Is a delayed dispatch written In Communist terr'tory and filed on his return to government-held Pengpu.) OUT OUR WAY By J. R. Williams By SEYMOUR TOPPING A COMMUNIST ARMY HEADQUARTERS NORTH OF THE HWAI RIVER, China, Jan. 8. Delayed) Chinese Communist soldier are confidently singing victory songs and talking of the day China will enjoy American mechanical wonders. Their admiration for things American Is summed up In the words of one Communist officer. He told me: "Twenty years after all China Is Communist, we shall have automat restaurants." Enthusiastic about the automat, he described Its wonders to me from pictures he had seen. Communist soldiers showed equally great admiration for American gadgetr On the other hand there was deep resentment Indicated for American assistance given the national government. This was particularly true for American built planes flying overhead. Judg' lng by Communist reactions, the planes are an important morale factor, If not a great combat as set, In favor of the nationalists. No noticeable hostility to me as an individual American was ever demonstrated. The Red soldiers showed great curiosity about the United States and the life of Its people. Sev eral quoted from their propa-1 ganda Instruction about the poor in the United States and Jim Crow practices In the south. The Communist soldiers believe Amprlcan workers solidly sup port them.

He sign ed his name Tien Wu Chang, wilhout indication -of his rank. As I left he said, "Good bye, I will .see you In Nanking." The victory-flushed Communist soldiers on this front, where 2:50, 000 Nationalist troops have been eliminated In the last two months are filled with confidence. But the date they expect to reach the Nationalist capital Is far later than the time predicted by most observers In Nanking it self. Only a few of the Red troops spoke of occupation of Nanking and Nalionalist surrender as early as this spring. Soldiers talk of the Red strate there seems little doubt that Com munist troops are re-grouping and being re-supplied.
