PEKING, Tuesday, September 28, 1948
The Daily News had this to say about Nanking reports of an offer for 1,000 gold yuan reward for capture alive of Communist leader Mao Tse-tung or Communist commander-in-chief Chu Teh.
"Mao and Chu are hard to take alive. Why not take them dead? They are not fish soup which must be kept fresh."
