Communist Rebels Leave 700 Homeless
(Rec. 11.30 a.m.) NANKING, Oct. 17.
Their cattle dwindling and all their property destroyed by Communist rebels who swept down on their homes in Northern Manchuria, 700 Buriat Mongols, originally from Baikal Lake, now find themselves destitute and homeless, according to the Rev. R. W. Stuart, of the Christian Churches of Many Lands, in an interview today. Mr Stuart, who lived for 40 years at Linhsinsien, in Jehol Province, bordering Mongolia, before the war, was evacuated to New Zealand after Pearl Harbour. He said the destitute Mongols left their homes at Baikal Lake to escape Soviet rule. When the march began there were larger' numbers but many died en route across Siberia to Northern Manchuria.
