Claims Attempt To Assassinate Chou London Newspaper Reports Attempt LONDON (UPl— The Manchester Guardian today reported an alleged attempt by a group of American educated Chinese to assassinate Chinese Communist Premier Chou En-Lai. The Guardian, a .respected and reliable newspaper, said one of the students actually stabbed and wounded Chou with a pocketknife during an interview with him in Peiping last July 28. The newspaper said the assassination attempt was planned by three of 40 Chinese students who were educated in American universities and who returned to their homelands to fight Communism. It based its report on an interview with a Chinese student it identified only as "Mr. Li.’’ It said he was the only one of the group to escape after the attempt on Chou. It said “Li” is now in England but plans to return to Red China to carry out underground work. “Li ' was quoted as saying at least 34 of the student group were executed or killed in clashes with the Communists •’ . “Li” described the assassination attempt: “They had only a pen knife. They knew that whether they were successful or not they would never return. When they did not come back that night we knew they had made the attempt but we did not know for a month that I it had failed. It was given out that Chou was ill and I did not • see him at a public function until the performance of an Indian dancer at the end of August.” Gunman Is Killed II By Chicago Police Young Brother Os Gunman Is Wounded CHICAGO (IP) — A gunman was l killed and his younger brother wounded Wednesday night when a stakeout police team broke up ! their robbery attempt. „ Robert Dosch, 24. fell dead in a vacant lot across the street from . a supermarket he and his brother.
