WORLD DISTANCE RECORD
THE SOMEWHAT CRITICAL SITUATION IN FUKIEN, WHERE THE COMMUNISTS HAVE 5,657 Miles Credited to APPARENTLY LAUNCHED A SUCCESSFUL SUR- PRISE ATTACK TOWARDS FOOCHOW, IS PUZZ- LING.
A Reuter cable from Washington this morning an- nounces that the State Department has ordered a destroyer from the U.S. Asiatic Fleet to proceed to Foochow where three Americans are endangered "by Communist hordes.”
The U.S.S. Saccramento in fact left Hongkong for Foochow this morning.
The American warship was preceded by a few hours by H.M.S. Wishart, also from Hongkong, while as reported yesterday, the Japanese cruiser Isudza, bound for Hongkong, has been diverted to Foochow. The activity in foreign naval
