Aub. 1 iPI Th Chinese communists acknowl. edged today that regulars of th eighth communiit route army fought United States marines southeast of Peiping Monday, but contended it was not an ambush and that the marines were th aggressors. The marine corps said three marines were killed and 13 wounded when a marine motor convoy was ambushed by 300 imnese in a highway defile. The marine corps has refrain ed from identifying the attack ers as communists but flatly de scribed it as an ambush. Head quarters added today that 12 of the Chinese were killed and an undetermined number wounded when the marines defended themselves. The official New China newt agency and the official commu nist radio at Yenan gave their version of the battle in a newa dispatch and broadcast today, as serting that about 80 marines and 80 national government sol diers "made a surprise attack" on communist positions near the village of Anping Monday morn ing. "Aggravation Avoided" . Both sides suffered casualties in fighting which ensued when the eighth route troops were forced to resist. Towards after noon, when American reinforce ments were rushed to the scene from Tientsin, the eighth route troops withdrew to avoid ag gravating the clash," communist accounts said. The communist agencies then launched into a long reiteration of their demands that Americans withdraw from China entirely and said, we should demand an apology" and disciplinary action from the marines for the Monday battle. The marine corps' announce ment said the number of Chinese wounded was not known. It list ed the marine dead as one offi cer and two enlisted men. The officer was killed at the outset by a grenade hurled at his command jeep. Going into detail for the first time, the marine annoucement said the Chinese selected an. ideal spot for the ambush. The road ran between deep ditches, with tall corn growing to the edge of the cuts. On one side of the road was a clump of trees, on the other side a small-walled compound. A road block of two wheel-less carts had been placed between the trees and the wall. Machineguns were placed on the compound wall, covering the highway. When the convoy reached the road block, the Chi nese opened fire without warn ing, the marine announcement detailed. At one time, the marine ver sion continued, a white flag was raised on the compound wall but when a navy corpsman and two interpreters started forward, one was shot in the leg.
