White House said today the United
States is "watching with concern"
a large-scale Chinese Communist
build-up of air and ground forces

Press Secretary Pierre Salinger
told newsmen of this concern. He
declined further comment on the
situation, which some high U.S.
officials described as a possible
prelude to a Red attack against
the two Nationalist-held islands.
Administration sources said re
ports on the Red build-up were
being studied "with great in

Some officials felt Chinese Com

be preparing an assault on Que
moy and Matsu to district U.S.
attention from Southeast Asia.
Salinger had been asked to com
ment on reports that the adminis

over this situation. He replied:
"It is a fact that the adminis
tration has been watching with
concern the build-up of Chinese
air and ground troops on the Chi'
nese mainland adjacent to the off
shore islands of Quemoy and
Matsu."
