Costly Shanghai Sea Evacuation Plans Scrapped
Secretary of State Acheson announced the cancellation of a US plan to evacuate about 2000 Americans and other foreigners from Shanghai by sea after three months of talks with the Chinese Communists. He cited a Nationalist mine closure of the Yangtze channel and said rail routes to other China ports would be pursued instead. The State Department spent nearly 500000 dollars last month preparing the plan which failed because two shallow draft landing ships could not enter Shanghai to ferry passengers to a liner. Acheson did not blame the Nationalists and would not detail the military reasons given for the channel closure.
