Chiang Goes Into Important Conferences
N. CHINA MILITARY SITUATION
Shanghai, October 1-President Chiang Kai- shek and top Government military leaders plunged into a series of conferences in Peiping today to dis- cuss measures to counter the growing Communist offensive as reports from both fronts north of the Great Wall claimed government successes.
President Chiang, who arrived in the ancient capital yesterday with the Naval and Air Force Commanders-in-Chief, was scheduled to meet the North China Commander, Gen. Fu Tso-yi, to study overall strategy to meet the Communist autumn offensive. The Manchurian commander, Gen. Wei Li-huang, is expected to arrive from Mukden to join the discussion.
