Reds May Question US
In Island Defense Policy
By Spencer Davit
WASHINGTON tAP) Qual
ified experts consider it quite
possible that Communist China
may attempt a probing action to
see how the United States stands
on the defense of Nationalist
held Quemoy and the Matsu is
lands off the Cinese mainland.
One analyst who asked that
his name not be used, said Pei
ping evidently is not ready to
take at face value the warnings
of either the Formosa resolution
or the Formosa defense treaty,
ratified by the Senate only last
week. He gave the following
evaluation:
Clash Inevitable
There can be no stabilization
in the Formosa area unless the
Reds give up their announced in
tention to take over Formosa and
the Pescadores. There is bound to
be a clash with the United States
unless Communist China backs
down. .
Under the Formosa resolution
President Eisenhower is author

. Marian Van Tuyl, choreogra
pher. lecturer, and author lecturd
on "Dance in American Culture."
Monday night in which she traced
the rise of modern dance and fa
mous modern dancers from the
early 1900’s and contrasted differ
ent styles of dancing.
Speaking on her theory of danc
ing, she said, "modern dance is
predicted on the assumption that
you have a mature mind. You have
something to say and you use
movement (through your body) to
express it.” She spoke briefly of
modern dance education for chil
dren.
Miss Van Tuyl showed two
films, "Horror Dream” and “Clin
ic of Stumble.” The first dealt
with what Miss Van Tuyl termed
“a choreographer's honor dream
and showed what happens in a ten
sion producing situation as ex
pressed through modern dance.
The second film was "an experi
ment in multile exposure and was
a gentle satire on th characteris
tics of women." Miss Van Tuyl did
the choreography or both films
and appealed in the first one.
Following the films, a brief dis
cussion period was held.
While on campus. Miss Van
Tuyl, who is editor of the annually
published dance magazine, “Im
pulse,” and who currently teaches
choreography at Mills College,
Berkeley, Calif., is donating many J
hours in dance instruction. She:
will continue to instruct such i
classes throughout today. She is
appearing in conjunction with the
current University Festival of
Arts.
Dusk Halts Search
For Belgian Plane
ROME (APt — An intensive
search by more than 1,000 prsons
for a missing Belgian airliner was i
halted temporarily at dusk Mon
day.
The plane disappeared north of l
Rome Sunday night with 29 per
sons aboard, including four Amer
icans and an ill-starred Italian
beauty contest winner.
The plane, a four-engine DC6,
vanished in fog on a flight from
Brussels to the Belgian Congo. It
was in radio contact with Rome's
Ciampin airport only 16 minutes
before a scheduled landing there.
Then the plane’s radio cut off, and
nothing definite has been heard,
since. I

the capability to do this.
If the Nationalist positions on
the offshore islands were over
whelmed it would mean Chiang
would lose about one-third of his
effective force. He is reputed to
have an army of 350.000 to 400,
000 men.
A defeat of that magnitude
would have a strong adverse ef
fect, it is thought. Psychological
ly there would be a reaction all
over Asia. Both friends and foes
would interpret it as a sign the
United States will not back uje

From the purely military
standpoint, an outpost always is
01 value. As they are given up.
advance warning and other mili
tary advantages are yielded.
There is reluctance here to
stand by and see one of the
strongest anti-Communist armies'
destroyed or crippled.
Chiang's forces would well be
used if there were renewed Chi
nese Communist aggression in
Korea or if there is a further
Chinese surge into Southeast
Asia.
One of the reasons Peiping is
so upset by Formosa in Nation
alist hands is that it represents
a considerable threat on Com-.
munist China's flank.
If the Reds try to hit elsewhere
the Nationalists unless they are
neutralized are in a position to
strike from an advance base at
an exposed Red position.
It i9 thought that if the
Reds determine after a probing
action that the United States is
seriously intending to defend For
mosa and the Pescadores, Pei
ping may be ready to consider a
signed, or unsigned cease-fire.
