Fall Of Shanghai
To Reds Appears
Getting Nearer
SHANGHAI, May 19. UP)
Under drizzly skies with the guns
booming in the distance, Shang
hai entered another night of siege
with ominous indications every
where. Encircling Communists were
pushing their attack on the Poo
tung sector along the lower
reaches of the Whangpoo River.
But It was a movement of gov
ernment troops into the city from
Thur. May 19, 1 949 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. 7
the quiet southwest defense area
and a one hour earlier curfew
(9 p. m.) that made everybody
uneasy.
At the time the Nationalists
seemed to be holding their own
against the compressing Red arc.
But the vacating of defense areas,
notably Hung Jao road, was baff
ling. It could mean the Nationalists,
holding the advantage of interior
lines, merely were shifting their
strength to more vulnerable
spots. But the earlier curfew and
sundry other, reports, including
one that the bund may be closed
to traffic, put an aspect to the
picture that did not Jibe with
reported Nationalist victories late
ly. Lunghwa airfield, sure to be
one of the first targets of any
determined Communist drive,
could hear the noise nf battle at
twilight. The control tower said
it sounded like mortar fire about
five miles away.
The airplanes of Chinese big
wigs were said to be warmed up.
It was utterly impossible to con
firm this rumor. But if that is
true, the Jig may be up.
