Secretary Dulles has neatly
passed the buck to the military.
Perhaps he got tired of having
State take - the blame for failing
to win in Korea, as Lt. ', Gen.
George E. Stratemeyer's testi
1 mony implied. ("We weren't per
mitted to win. ) Anyway, he says
it is up to .American military
authorities - to determine which
islands they want to defend in
safeguarding Formosa. ,
The question arose when the
Red Chinese made a raid on the
?r-1 in4 t AiiAmAV tiicf rff Vls
mainland, which still is held by
the Nationalists. Later, they
bombarded the island and Little
Quemoy nearby. So far, the Sev
enth Fleet has" made no move to
defend these offshore . islands,
though the Pescadores, an island
group in the Formosa Strait, are
included in the protective custody
of the U. S. fleet: No Red move
has been made against them or
Formosa, ' i
- It is very probable, that the
Joint Chiefs of Staff win not ex
tend their naval and air coverage
to protect the Nationalists en the
other islands near the China coast
They are not worth the risk. When
there was talk of a possible at
tempt by Chiang to attempt a ."re
turn from Elbe" they had some
value -as possible jumping , off
points. Since that dream of re
conquest of continenutal China by
the troops on Formosa has long
since faded, these outposts are of
scant value save for observation
and irritation. : ' , ' l

Eod China Bombards
Nationalist-CleId; Isles
;" By SPENCER MOOSA V' j ".
- TAIPEH, Formosa UP) Communist Chinese artillery Friday
bombarded two Nationalist-held islands off the China Coast for more
than five hours. :. ..... u ;, .jv.t"'- ' :
i : A Nationalist government communique said about 3,000 shells
Were fired at Quemoy and Little Quemoy. Casualties were listed as
light three killed, two seriously wounded,: five slightly wounded.
v (Red China s ; Peipinc radio,
heard in Tokyo, claimed the Com
munist bombardment sank one
gunboat damaged a submarine
chaser and a tugboat demolished
a wharf, enveloped both islands in
flames and smoke and "complete
ly silenced" Nationalist batteries.)
; The attack immediately raised
speculation here whether it pre
saged an attempt to seize the
two islands or was for political
purposes only. Unofficial quarters
regarded it mostly as an effort to
inject disharmony into the South
east Asia security conference
which opens in Manila Monday.
Quemoy Island, a Nationalist
strongpoint, is seven miles east of
Amoy, Red-held island city just off
the China manland. Little Quemoy
is only five miles east of Amoy.
The Nationalist and Red holdings
thus are within easy artillery
range of one another. -:
Should the Reds make an effort
to seize Guemoy, they would in
effect be challenging a recent
statement by U. S. Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles.
r Late last month Dulles, com
menting on Peiping talk of "liber
ating" Formosa, said American
forces would be justified in defend
ing some other Nationalist-held is
lands. He said it would be up to
American military authorities to
decide fwhich islands, other than
Formosa to defend.

to guard Formosa, the Nationalist
China stronghold, against invasion.

statement at the: opening of the

"We expect the Philippines to
contribute to I its own security to

that would be added the U. S. air,
