NATIONALISTS IN CHINA (Rec. 9.30 a.m.) NANKING, April 15. Continuing their combined land, sea and air attacks on the Communists, the Nationalists to-day are reported to have recaptured the north bank bridgehead at Sankiang, about G2 miles east of Nanking. Two additional Communist regiments and one battalion are claimed to have been wiped out.
