Repulse of Red Thrust
At Vital Rail Line North
Of Canton Reported
By the Atiociated Preu
CANTON. Aug. 22.—The Na
tionalists claimed more successes
today on the vital Central China
war front north of this Commu
nist-threatened, refugee capital.
The government asserted a Red
thrust to cut the Canton-Hankow
railway and isolate the Hunan
province defense bastion of Heng
yang had been thrown back.
Not only had the threat to the
vital Canton-Hengyang communi
cations been removed—for the mo
ment at least—but Gen. Pai
Chung-hsi’s eastern flank was
temporarily out of danger.
Anjen Reported Retaken.
The Nationalists said they beat
back Red Gen. Lin Piao’s attempt
| to take Leiyang, 230 miles north
of Canton, after his forces had by
passed Pai’s central China de
fense headquarters at Hengyang.
135 miles farther north.
The government counterattack
carried 30 miles northeast of
Leiyang to recapture Anjen, which
guards Pai’s eastern flank, it was
I reported.
This forced one division of Lin’s
145th Red Army to retreat and two
I regiments were wiped out. the
Nationalists said.
| The government also claimed a
victory 50 miles northwest of
Hengyang where it said Lin’s en
tire 51st Army was wiped out.
(This would be a total of about
30,000 men if the army’s three
divisions were at full strength.)
Escape Hatch Still Available.
The Ministry of National De
fense asserted most machine guns
and rifles taken from the Red 51st
were Russian made.
Destruction of the 51st should
relieve the pressure on Pai’s west
ern flank and protect his possible
escape hatch to his native Kwangsi
I Province to the southwest.
In Kiangsi Province, the Na
tionalists reported heavy fighting
; around Sinfeng, 180 miles north
west of Canton. This town is 55
miles east of Tayu, where the
Communists have made their
closest penetration to Canton—
170 miles away.
Six Armies Reported in Action.
I Par to the northwest in Kansu
'province, the battle for Lanchow,
'the capital, was reported in full
swing. The National Defense
Ministry reported two divisions of
Red Gen. Peng Teh-huai’s 3d
Army had been wiped out in the
southern outskirts of the city.
Peng’s 60th Army, attacking
Lanchow from the east, also was
reported thrown back. The Red
assault was said here to include
six armies, which would mean
120,000 to 150,000 men.
It is difficult to square the Na
tionalist claims with the Na
tionalist withdrawal of the bulk
of their forces from Lanchow and
indications that they intended to
fight only a rearguard .action
there.
12 Crazed Convicts
Recaptured; 1 at Large
ly the Associated Prm
M1LLEDGEVILLE, Ga., Aug. 22.
—Thirteen “stir-crazy” convicts
escaped from a ward for the crim
inally insane at the State Hos
pital yesterday. One, a rapist,
still was at large today.
The 12 others, all recent trans
fers from the State Prison at
Reidsville, were recaptured before
last midnight.
The last to be caught, Carl
Hyde, was considered bv the hos
pital superintendent to be the
most dangerous. Dr. Thomas G.
Peacock, superintendent, said
Hyde was serving a life term for
murder. He was captured be
tween Irwinton and Macon, in
Central Georgia.
Still free was William Cochran,
serving a 20-year sentence for
rape. Officers were uncertain
whether he was armed.

More Jobs for Printers
Predicted by Government
• y the Associated Press
The job outlook for the next few
years in the printing trades is for
“a continued, but much more
moderate and irregular,, growth,”
according to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
In a study prepared for the
Veterans Administratibn’s use in
counseling disabled veterans, the
bureau said major factors con
tributing to a generally promising
outlook are: “persistently rising
demands” for imprinted products,
and increasing availability of new
machinery and supplies.
American technicians will aid
Ecuador in establishing a farm
machinery center in the Guayas
River Basin, to rent machines to
growers in that district.
