In the following interview Chiang gives his views on whether he expects a show down between Russia and the United States. By EARNEST HOBERECHT United Press Correspondent Taipeh, Formosa (U.R) President Chiang Kai-shek said today' a showdown between the United States and Russia "per haps will not come until the Sov iet Union is encroaching on U.S. territory." The leader of Free China ex pressed his view as we sipped tea in the sun lounge of his ' home in the suburbs of this city. The trim, 'alert Generalissimo sat relaxed in a large rattan chair across the long narrow room. I was seated on a divan. The question was : "Will there be a showdown with Russia?" The 67-year-old anti-Communist leader smiled. I got the im pression he was not too hope ful "the United States would stand and fight in the face of the next aggressive move by the Chinese Reds. He considers the '. Chinese Communists nothing more than) tools of Soviet Russia and in-: sists they are working together to promote their aggressive aims. " Maybe Another Korea , About the showdown ., with Russia? . ; The generalissimo said an Am erican showdown with Russia "perhaps will not come until the Soviet Union is encroaching on U. S. territory.' . It was obvious that he was thinking about Russian attacks on American "off-shore islands" . U.S. possessions which might be compared with 1 the Chinese off-shore islands of Tachen, Que moy, Matsu and Nanchi. , I raised the question of "an other Korea." Wasn't there a possibility the United States would stand firm against Com munist aggression if the Reds at tacked Quemoy.; and Matsu? President Chiang agreed that Quemoy and Matsu might be come "similar cases like Korea' "The United States cannot af ford to withdraw any. more at any point," he emphasized. ; He said the withdrawal from the Tachens was a "sad exper ience" but that the United States had done a "wonderful job" in helping the Chinese with it. ' He said the American people always want to be helpful and always want to do what is right. Question Very Clear . "Whether your nation's policy is right or wrong," he said, "the motives of the American , peo ple are altruistic and they will always want to ; do what is right." : ..- "Behind this altruism : is . the world's mightiest power,' Pres ident Chiang said, "but so far this power has been used only in a negative way. It has not been used in a positive way jeWBWWHeh" jh9f. t -nsesBPF f X LAST OF THE TACHENS Chinese Nationalist civilians wend their way along hillside toward evacuation point on Tachen Island as landing craft (background) ferry refugees from beach to waiting ships. All civilians have been evacuated from the invasion-threatened outpost and the removal of troops is expected to be complete in a few days. Bill To Esta bl ish Ed ucariona I TV In Oregon Read Before Senate Salem U.R) Educational television to reach at least three-fourths of the people of Oregon would be established under terms of a bill up for sec ond reading in the Senate today 1 And Sen. .Robert D. Holmes (D-Gearhart) who introduced the measure with Rep. Maurine Neuberger (D-Portland), said if the state of Oregon doesn't do something now to keep the two channels alloted to it, they may slip away into commercial hands. Channels ' May Slip Away . Sen. Holmes, a radio man him' self, said: "Knowing that the pressure on the FCC to release channels 7 in Corvallis arid 10 at Portland to commercial outlets is almost in tolerable, I'm afraid we will let those channels slip away if we don't do something to hold them now And once we let them slip The President insisted again that the question of Quemoy and Matsu is "already very clear, It also ' can be reported that President Chiang holds the f ol lowing views: . - First: "The United Nations should properly act in accord ance with its charter and impute sanctions . against the Commun ist aggressors instead of nego tiating a cease fire with them." Second: "Who can say a cease fire will halt Red aggression? Aggression is characteristic of international ' Communism. It knows no bounds.". Third: "The territory of the Republic of China "is not to be carved up." The Republic is de termined to "recover the main land. "The idea of two Chinas is absurd." .

' Cost of constructing the trans mitters with a microwave or re lay. . system plus . one mobile transmitter would be $800,000. The Corvallis transmitter would be located on' Mary's peak and the one in Portland on some high site. : ' " . ; "Eight-hundred thousand dol lars may sound like a lot of money," Sen. Holmes said, "but look at it' in focus and it is a bargain. It is slightly less than the cost of one-mile of construc tion of-an express highway. Inexpensive Campus - "And it is a pretty inexpen sive campus. We've spent mil lions on our university and col lege campuses and rightly so which accommodate some 20, 000 students,";' including those taking extension courses. Here we have a chance tp . build an airwave "campus .. for $800,000 that would reach more than a million people, including hun dreds of thousands of those of adult age." It would cost the state $200, 990 a year to operate educa tional TV compared to the $15,000,000 a year it takes to operate the state university and colleges. Would Reach Medford The stations, with the relays, would reach all parts of Oregon except extreme eastern Oregon and parts of central Oregon. Engineers believe reception for Mary's peak, considered by engi neers to be the choisest trans mitter spot on the coast, could reach Bend but probably not some other areas of central Ore gon.. , , But educational TV would reach as far south in western Oregon as Medford and as far, south in . eastern Oregon as Klamath Falls. , Disc jockeys Continuing Marathon Record Broadcast New Orleans ttf.R) Two disc jockeys carried their mara thon broadcast of the same rec ord past the . 48-hour mark today and vowed to continue until the author appeals in person for them to stop.

Robert Oppenheimer is sched uled to appear on three Oregon campuses in April and May as announced earlier, officials of the state system of higher educa tion confirmed today. On Monday, a scientific lec ture series featuring Oppen heimer at the University 'of Washington was cancelled by the school's , president, Henry Schmitz.-; Chancellor Charles ; Byrne said, there has never been any question of cancelling the invi tation to Dr. . Oppenheimer to come to Oregon. "Dr. Oppenheimer was chosen in March of 1954 by the state system's Condon, lecture series committee to give the annual scientific lecture series . . . at Oregon State the University of Oregon and Portland State. His selection was , indorsed unani mously and with enthusiasm by the executives and physical scientists of the three campus es because of the fact that he is one of the world's most dis tinguished physicists," the chan cellor said. ; ' Oppenheimer will ' give two lectures on each of the campus es on the composition of matter. Rep. A. L. Miller (R-Neb.) pre dicted that, with (this amend ment, the tandem statehood mea sure "has an excellent chance of receiving approval of the chief executive." j But Rep. -Walter Rogers (D- Tex.) one of the six who voted against the statehood bill, said its passage would mark "the be ginning of: the disintegration of the United States as such." 4 He contended that adoption of the Alaska amendment on or ders from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue" the White House foreshadows a more centralized federal government which he said would come with admission of Hawaii and Alaska. Chairman Clair : Engle (D Calif .) sponsor of the bill, had predicted overwhelming com mittee approyal. i' I p x o orixifisEOI $i$,I3IXZ5XCr3 $ $ Never Has Your Dollar Bought More!
