Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov
Ike's Stand
Called For
By Morse
WASHINGTON (API Ren.
Wayne Mora e Monday again
called on the Elsenhower admin
istration to make clear "whether
or not an commitment, assur
ance or pledge has been made by
our government . . . that we will
defend Quemoy or the Matsus."
Morse saiil that a statement
by Generalissimo Cbiang Kai
Khek at Taipei ‘served only to
compound the contusion and per
plexities which now characterize
American public opinion on our
country’s astatic policy.”
The Nationalist Chinese lead
er has made it plain, in answer
ing questions at a news confer
ence, that he expects the United
States to assist in repelling any
possible Communist attack on
the offshore islands.
Morse said:
"The people of the United
States are entitled to hear direct
ly either from the secretary of
state or preferably the President
. . r whether or not any commit
ment, assurance or pledge has
been made by our government to
the Nationalist Chinese govern
ment ...”
Morse, a member of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations committee,
said that his mail indicates that
"more and more Americans are
beginning to fully appreciate the
fact that under international law
we have no legal rights in Que
moy and the Matsus. We do have
legal rights on Formosa and the
Pescadores ..."
He said that it was "very
risky” to permit Chlang or any
other official of the Nationalist
government "to issue statements
that leave the impression with
the rest of the world that we
have committed ourselves to the
defense of Quemoy and the Mat
sus.”

No Pledges
Both top Soviet leaders praised
relations with China but were dis
creet in making no specific pledg
i es.
For th$ first time in many years
Bulganin appeared at a public
function in civilian clothes. He
wore a dark blue suit, evidently
indicating his separation from his
Idefense Ministry post.
His successor in that job, Mar
shal Georgi Zhukov, also attended
the party, as did ex-Premier
Ceorgi Malenkov, Communist
party boss Nikita S. Khrushchev
did not attend.
Also attending were ambassa
dors whose countries recognize
lied China.
The Chinese ambassador in a
speech attacked the United States
for actions in Formosa and for
supporting a drive to rearm West
Germany. Some diplomats felt
that by mentioning West German
rearmament he was making a
"You scratch my back and I’ll
scratch your’s” appeal for Soviet
support In Formosa Strait.
The Ruffians did not make any
strong attacks on the U.S. Earlier
Molotov had summoned Indian
Charge d'Affaires P. K. Kaul for
a conference. No details of their
, meeting were made public.
Heard Soviet Proposal
It is known, however, that Kaul
| accompanied British Ambassador
Sir William Hayter last week
! when the commonwealth govern
ments heard a Soviet proposal for
a 10-nation conference on the For
mosa situation.
Since that time the British have
asked clarification and have em
phasised their view that a confer
ence Would be unprofitable with
out the participation of National
ist China.
Some cpiarters linked the inter
view with the mild tone of the
Soviet speeches at Monday night’s
party.
Bulganin chose the day to re
lease to the Soviet people the text
ot his interview with U.S. pub
lisher William Randolph Hearst
Jr., in which he said his desire for
better relations with the United
States was "sincere.”
UN Security Council Suspends
Efforts for Formosa Cease-Fire
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
(AP) Sharply rebuffed by Red
China and Russia, the UN Se
curity council Monday suspended
indefinitely its public efforts to
achieve a cease-fire in Formosa
j strait.
It left the next move to secret '
diplomatic maneuvers here and |
in the capitals of the major pow
ers.
The council refused 10-1 to j
j consider now a Moscow plan to
end the hostilities by condemn- j
I >ng alleged U. S. aggression .
i against China and ordering the j
withdrawal of American forces!
from Formosa.
Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., chief
U. S. delegate, said that the
J council has not concluded its con
sideration of a proposal by Sir
Leslie Munro, New Zealand, for
a cease-fire in the troubled area.
Would Do Injustice
“Indeed,” he said in a state- j
ment, ”It has hardly begun to do
so. In these circumstances, we
would have done the council and
the cause of peace an injustice if
were were to allow discussion of
1 the Soviet item to becloud the
Issues of the urgent matter at
hand."
Sir Pierson Dixon, Britain,
whose government has taken the
lead in consultations with Mos
cow for some arrangement to
stop the fighting, said that the
Red Chinese rejection was not
helpful. He suggested that the
council adjourn while govern
ments study the situation and
consult.
This the council, with no vote,
did after a three-hour session.
The delegates left it up to the
Council president, Victor Andres
Belaunde, Peru, to call a meet
ing whenever developments war
rant.
Still Negotiating
In London, Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden said in the House
of Commons that Britain and
Russia are still engaged in dip
lomatic exchanges looking to
ward an easing of the crisis. He
said any conference would have
to include Chinese Nationalists
and Chinese Communists.
Arkady A. Sobolev, Soviet Un
ion, attacked the United States
again on charges of committing
aggression against Peiping and
once more demanded that the
council unseat the ‘•Kuomintang
clique.” He said there would be
no solution of the crisis unless
Peiping took part in the discus
sions.
