Civil War Threatens In Manchuria
TIENTSIN April 27 AP This bustling North China port faces jitters as rumors of civil war in Manchuria spread. Rail interruptions and nightly shootings plague the city of 1 600 000.

Reports say Chinese officials fled Harbin for Vladivostok with the Soviet as Russians withdrew. Maj Robert B Rigg and Sgt Jack Pond, both in U S military service, were said to depart Changchun amid news of five American correspondents captured there.
