~~ Center as CHUNGKING, March 11 (U, PJ). ~Chinese Communists, fanning out 20 .miles east of Mukden in the wake of withdrawing Russian army forces, were reported today to have occupied Fushun and the big coal mires around the Manchurian town. . Chinese Nationalist forces appeared to be winning a race with the Communists for control of Mukden itself, where sporadic street fighting had lulled. The fighting followed sudden withdrawal of Russian forces from Mukden. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek’s 14th division of the 22d army reached Mukden last night, reports from Manchuria said, and occupied strategic heights, intersections and strongholds of the city.
