Communist Troops Open Drive On Government Held Changchun In Spring Move NANKING, Feb. 27 (P) Nearly 125.000 tank-led Chinese communlstt have opened a fierce drive in Manchuria that has cwept to wlti.ln 18 mile o( Changchun, the capital, government dispatches aaid today. ..... Whether this was the long-awaited push to break the winter lull in that vast region was not known in Nanking, where it was impossible to confirm the Central news agency report. The government agency in a dispatch from Changchun said the communists quickly overran Nungan and Kutai, 32 miles north and SO miles northeast respectively of the capital. Advance units then lanced on southward to Wanpaoshan, a village only 15 miles north of Changchun, the agency added. This would place the vanguard 50 miles or more south of the Sungarl river, which has been the dividing line between the contending armies since Man- churls s long ana narsn wuuer settled over the land Previous reports from the zone have indicated, however, that w i d a stretches on both sides of the Sungari are but lightly held and any attackers in force could move quickly against little resistance. If the communists were head ed for Changchun, they will run into a hard core of resist ance because the capital is stoutly garrisoned. Among the defenders Is be lieved to be the government's well-equipped, well-trained new first army, military observers in Nanking said. . The attackers were under Gen. Lin Piao, commander of all communist forces In Man churia, v . Central news agency assert ed they were using a limited amount of armor, including tanks and armored trucks. The reports overshadowed the, fighting in China proper, which in recent weeks has been centering around the Tientsin PuFow railway in central and southern Shantung province. Low premium rates on all forms of national service life In surance are made possible for World War II veterans because the government bears the entire cost of administration.
