The driving force behind the new night club is Fung Sun-chong, a leading member of the Far East Stock Exchange. XU and WANG were apparently persuaded to attend via the good offices of Mrs. Anna Chennault, of Flying Tigers fame, who is FUNG Sun-chong's sister-in-law, and whose recent visit to China marked the culmination of a successful united front operation on her.
