By EARNEST HOBHECHT United Press Correspondent Tokyo 'IP On opposite sides of the Straits of Formosa opposing forces representing op posing ideologies are building the military machines that could trigger Wrold War III. A fighting war between the United States and Communist China could be touched off in a minute by a Peiping effort to take Formosa by force. There are those who say that war between the U.S. and Com munist China is inevitable un less one or the other alters its Peiping has massed large numbers of her top fighting men on the mainland shore facing Formosa. They are in a spring board position. There are at least nine new Communist airfields there, too. Some are large enough to handle medium jet bombers and the latest Russian-built jet fighters. These land-based planes might be able to control the air over the Formosa Strait. At least they would be in a good position to challenge the U.S. Seventh Fleet. Guided Missiles ' On Formosa, the Americans i have further fortified the Re public of China position by send ing in guided missiles. By pull ing a trigger these weapons can be sent screaming toward Red China's airfields, ports and other Formosa policy. The Chinese I military targets. Communists have sworn they will "liberate" Formosa, even if they have to use soldiers and guns to do it. The Americans have pledged their might to de fend the island stronghold of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. Political maneuvering Is un derway, but appears to be mak ing no headway. Representatives of the U.S. and Communist China have been holding confi dential talks in Geneva since August 1955. They are trying AUTOGRAPH?

The only encouraging thing is that they still are talking, not fighting. Important Link American military men insist that the U.S. and other anti Communist powers need For mosa. They say it is not only important that the people there be kept from falling under Red rule but also important that the island be kept as an unsinkabie aircraft carrier. Situated as it is between Okinawa and the Philippines, it is regarded as an important link in the U.S. defense per imeter in the western Pacific. U. S. Firmness Pays Both American diplomats and American military men feel that U.S. firmness over Formosa discourages the Chinese Com munists from aggression else where in Asia. In this connec tion, ii interesting to note that some American generals believe the North Korean Communists never would have attacked the Republic of Korea if they had known that the U.S. was willing Lukewirm Praise For Oil Import Curb Washington HH Congress men from oil and coal-producing states voiced lukewarm praise Tuesday for the Eisenhower ad ministration's plan to curb oil imports. Domestic producers and legis lators from oil and coal states have strongly urged the admin istration to cut oil imports. They claimed the current import rate hurts American oil and coal in dustries and thus endangers na tional security. President Eisenhower acted late Monday by announcing his approval of recommendations of a Cabinet committee which has been studying the problem. The committee recommended that U. S. oil importing fims be asked voluntarily to cut back imports about 20 per cent below present levels.

So long as the Republic of China exists on Formosa, the millions of important "overseas" Chinese are not finally commit ted to Peiping. These expatriate Chinese play an important role in many Asian countries and it would greatly strengthen Peit- ing's hand throughout Asia if all these owed their loyalty to the Communist government. Cause Believed Doomed There are those who argue that the Nationalist cause is doomed to failure and that the Communists will succeed in the end. This stand draws a heated de nial from many quarters, some of whom point out that the Communists are headed for real trouble and time is working against them, not against the nationalists. It is true that Communism no longer wears the "sure winner" tag it once boasted in Asia. Ag gressive Corrfmunism has been stopped in Korea and Viet Nam. Communist organizers no longer find it easy to get recruits in the Philippines, Japan and other countries. And reports coming out of Red China ielf tell of increasingly serious difficulties thwe.

I nee4 my par ents behind me. n. L. F He's the impossible. asking for Baymond F. I am one of a family of six children. We all had very unhappy childhoods because our parents are not the type who show affection. Our father was stern and aloof and Mother was so. ground down oy him and financial worries that she had little spirit or energy left for us. Neverthless, we all grew up to be decent, law-abiding indi viduals. My sisters married well and my brother is doing well in his profession. Only I, perhaps because I was youngest, have had great difficulty in adjusting to life. I am insecure financially and am having marital trouble. I would like to see a psycho logist or marriage counselor. This means morey which I don't have. I feel that my mother should try to prevail on my fath er to help me. I need, not only his financial help, but the as surance that my parents are be hind me and want to help me. Mrs. L. F. What Raymond says is true in some respects, but he is a little unfair to his father. My husband loved the children very much, but didn't believe in "coddling" them. He is European and comes of people who believed it was shameful to make a display . of . feeling. He showed his love by trying to teach them to do right. Raymond's father "tetill feels as he always did that the chil dren must be entirely o their owo as soon as they are old enough. It may sound harsh, but Raymond knows that his father can't be moved once he has made up his mind. Besides, he doesn't believe in psychologists and would never give money for a thing like that. I would like to help Raymond, but he knows that he is asking for the impossible. I have no way of getting money to him without his father knowing, and anyway, Raymond says he wants it to come directly from his father. Raymond could get a bank loan if he tried. The Council: Raymond, him self, says the money is not the the main issue. He seeks "as surance that my parents are behind me." He wants his father to show the love he feels was denied him in childhood. Yet Raymond knows that his father does not approve of psychologists and is inflexible on the subject of giving financial hlp to grown children. Why then, does Raymond ask for help he knows will be de nied? His position is so painful and humiliating, it would appear that he should go to any lengths to avoid it. Since he has gone out of his way to place himself in this position, he must want it. He Wants to impose suffering on himself and this is more im portant to him than getting help with his problems. Raymond should avoid dwel ling on the real or imagined wrongs dealt him in childhood. He is not capable of evaluating the situation objectively and is only digging deeper Into his rut. He could benefit from guidance from a reliable, objective source, but he should get over the idea that he needs his parents' suo port in the enterprise. He shouid try to earn the extra money for this help, or borrow from a dis interested source, or find out whether he would be eligible tor social aa?ncy assistance. Part of Raymond's treatment would undoubtedly involve wrenching himself free from his obsession about what his father ought to do for him. (COPYRIGHT 1957, GENERAL FEATURES CORP.)
