Encroachment on
U.S. Territories
Seen as War Cause
' Editor's note: Earnest Hobereci,
United Press vice president for Asia,
is a veteran of many years in the Far
East and has met Generalissimo Chi
ang Kai-Shek on the mainland of
' China and again in Taipeh. 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

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." .

away, . they will no , longer be
available to the state." '
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. ,

come presidential objection to

Oppenheimer Sets
Talks in Oregon
: Portland (U.R) Dr. J.
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'
