General Hsu Yung-chang to General Marshall
According to a telegram from Mr. Liu Chieh, Member of the Political Committee, dated 22 April 1946, majority of the Government Officials at Changchun have been arrested by the Communists, and Chen Chia-chen, Commanding Officer of the Defense Forces was wounded by the same. The telegram further requested that suggestion be made to the Communist representative to permit the Government despatching three planes there for air-lifting said personnel from Changchun to Mukden. Having already contacted the Communist representative for releasing said personnel, I am sending this information to you for your attention.
