As the troops were advancing,

Sept. ?6, Bronson was struck by an
exploding hand grenade. He was
cut badly on the face and neck, but
he kept advancing with his com

day, he was again painfully wound
ed, this time in the left arm by an
nemy rifle bullet. After receiving
first aid, he was directed to the
rear.

Chiang Takes
Blame For Riots

He said thev brought dishonor to
his country. The Nationalist Chi-

nese acceptance of blame at
the
top when things go wrong.
"I must openlv admit that mv
leadership has been at fault,"
Chiang said.
The Generalissimo said he spoke
"with a heavy heart'; of the vio
lence May 24 that injured 13
Americans and wrought heavy
damage to the U.S. Embassv. The
riots grew out of resentment
against a U.S. court-martial ac-

Despite the riots. Chiang said
Nationalist China remains a friend

a tirm stand must be made
against attempts to endanger re

"The only hope of the Chinese
Communists to save themselves."

Chiang said an understandable
sense of indicnalior over the ser

because those whose dutv it was
