These pictures, first to be received to show the Chinese Communists in the city of Peking, show (at left) General Mao Tse-tung, commanding the victorious Communist armies, driving into the city in a jeep that appears to be of undoubted American origin. The Communists said they captured much American material from the Nationalist armies. At right, the vanguard of the Communist armies storming Peking is seen entering the city by one of the ancient gates. These pictures, first to show the Communist side of the war in China, were received from a Central European source. (A.P. Photo)
