The move, mapped -primarily by Elsenhower and Secretary of State Dulles as a step toard seizing fbe offensive in the global conflict with Communism and putting new pressures on the foe fighting in Korea, Is designed to have the fleet of opening .a new "front in the Far East. Jt is the kind of move, neverthe less, which may have unpredict able international repercussions and it clearly invol 'es the interests f America's allies and of other friendly nations. As responsible informants under stand the move technically, what the President had planned at least up to a day or so ago was to cancel out President Truman's .policy of neutralization of Formo sa. Two days after the Korean War ' broke out Truman ordered the Uni ted States' Seventh Fleet into For mosa waters, instructed to protect that Nationalist held island against attack and the same time to pre vent nationalist attacks on the ' mainland. The importance of the Eisen hower administration s first big strategic maneuver on the Commu nist front lies in opening the way for Chiang' Kai Shek's government to take whatever action it can against the Communists who drove VISITOR HERE.

" - Foreign, governments were not consulted ahead of 'time on the move, according to the best infor mation available here. It directly concerns" only the conduct of Amer ican forces the Seventh Fleet and the Chinese Nationalists. But in the situation it would be In line with diplomatic usage to give friendly - nations notice the change was coming. There were -some expressions of apprehension from western Euro pean capitals as the result of news reports of the new Eisenhower Formosan policy. The main fear seemed to be that the maneuver might stir up fresh trouble in the Far East. . . . Some foreign diplomats of Allied governments here, however, ex pressed the opinion that the most responsible leaders abroad would radily accept Eisenhower's judge ment. They also pointed out that Eisen hower was committed to take posi tive -steps toward bringing new pressures on Communist China in order to get the war over with in Korea, and they suggested that no other move could have put such a new face on the Far Eastern situa tion with so little cost Initially, authorities here believe. tne move should have two results: 1. It should confront the-Chinese Communists with a need quickly to take new precautions to guard tneir coastal areas which are di rectly vulnerable from Formosa and from some 30 islands which the Chinese Nationalists hold near er the coast. The new defensive needs thus imposed upon them may reduce their ability to support the Com munist wars in Korea and in Indo China. 2. It will enable the Nationalists to undertake commando type raids and air attacks on points near the coast and farther inland. However, a large scale operation presumably would require more transport shipping and greater air and naval support than the Nation alists themselves could provide. Such support could come only from the United States. This coun try, however, is not committed to provide it by the simple removal of the ban on Nationalist action.

Russians Have 4,500 Planes Based in Orient TOKYO (fl Gen. O. P. Weyland said Sunday night that the Rus sians have 4,500 war planes based In -the Far East "over and above the strength-of the Communist air forces in Manchuria and Red Chi na." ' " The disclosure by the command ing general of the U. S. Far East Air Forces was about five times greater than previous authoritative estimates of 700 to 1,000. In addition, the Chinese Reds have . about-. 2,500 combat planes, almost exclusively supplied by Rus sia.' : - Weyland conceded . in an exclu sive . interview . that American planes in the Far East area are "greatly outnumbered but said they: could make an air intruder "pay heavily" and could be speedi ly reinforced. ; "If an all-out attack were launched against Japan from a combination of the bordering Com munist nations while we are en gaged in the current Korean opera tions, the ; present strength of . the Far East Air Forces could not ade quately cope with the composite air power which, could oppose us," he said. "It should be pointed out, how ever, that FEAF could be rein forced very quickly from the Uni ted States." The Russians are known to have hundreds of - swift MIG fighter planes and a strong force of med ium jet bombers, based so as to be capable of round trip strikes against any Japanese city. Bases are in Siberia, the Sakhal in Islands and the Kuriles, just north of Japan proper. Weyland said U. S. interceptor planes "all of jet types, would make an intruder pay heavily as he moved in on Japanese targets. He would not get a free ride. "The- best way to blunt an air attack,: of course, is to destroy the operating source from which it springs. Basic defense planning therefore must call for immediate counteroffensive action against hos tile air bases with the most power ful weapons available." Weyland did not stipulate what such sreapons should be but the U. , S. armory includes atomic bombs and there are planes in the Far East which can carry them. Commenting on mysterious fly ing objects sighted over Northern Japan, Weyland said "our evalua tions to date of reports on so-called discs and other unidentified objects leaves us unalarmed but not disinterested."
