Aid in Event of Attack BY WILLIAM GALBRAITH Uniied Press Staff Correspondent Washington U.R) The Uni ted States is committed formal ly to go to the aid of 41 nations if they are attacked. Guarantees of American aid against aggression are contained in treaties with the 41 nations spread throughout the world and representing every , continent. In addition, this country has less formal but important agree ments or understandings with other nations which could prompt U. S. retailiation in event of aggression, a survey of American defense commitments disclosed. Though there are differences in wording, the formal treaties all mean the United States is committed to aid any one of the countries if it is attacked. The pacts are generally two-way. Thev include pledges by the other signers to help this country in case of attack on. American territory, and sometimes in case of assault on U. S. ships and planes. Latest Pact With China The latest pact, with National ist China, was signed Thursday, It committed the United States to defend Formosa and the Pes cadores Islands. Nationalist China in turn promises to help the United States in case of at tack against western Pacific islands now controlled by this country. Many of the treaties do not re quire the United States to fight automatically in case of attack against a signer. But the effect of the agreements is such that this nation would be expected to fight if need be. Following is a list of mutual defense treaties.

The noncommittal remark was quoted by Sen. Hazel H. Abel who is serving a two-month term as senator from Nebraska. Mrs. Abel, elected Nov. 2 to a short term expiring in Janu ary, told reporters she had a friendly chat with the President about a variety of things in which they are mutually inter ested. She said it included Republi can politics and farming. She has a 640-acre dairy farm near Lincoln, Neb., and Mr. Eisen hower has a farm near Gettys burg, Pa.
