ANNIVERSARY ' TAIPEH, Formosa Ml Nation alist China Wednesday marked tho 17th anniversary, ot tho clash at Marco Polo Bridge outside Peip ing which touched oft the eight- year war with Japan, President Opposed To Red Request By JACK BELL ' WASHINGTON m President Elsenhower delivered a scorching denunciation of Red China Wednes- i day and said he Is unalterably op posed to admitting tha Pelpuig regime to the United Nations. . At Uie same time, however, ha told his news conference Uiat pro posals to pull the United States out of the U.N., if the Reds should get in, need very careful study. Ha said he is not ready to aay that course should be taken. Elsenhower expressed doubt that Congress would give serious consideration to Uie passage ' of -legislation for an automatic U.S. pull-out. , Shortly after the President stated his views Ben. Knowland of California, chief sponsor of that proposal, told an informal news -conference Congress probably will go along with Uie president and wait until after the U.N. decldea on Uie Chinese Communist bid before acting to withdraw Ameri can funds and representatives. SWIFT ACTION He said he has no doubt, how- over, that Congress will act swift ly to take the United States out of the U.N. if Peiping delegates are seated in Uie international or ganization. ' "There is no doubt in my mind that In that unhappy event that such a grave crisis arose, the leadership of both parties and the committees would be consulted im mediately and the decision msde on what action to take to re call American representatives," Knowland said. ' fa the meantime, he predicted that Congress will make a policy statement against admission of the Chinese Communists to the U.N. "stronger than' any it Baa made in the past." IKE PRAISED ) Knowland praised ' Eisenhower's criticism of the Peiping- govern- ment as one of "no equivocation, j no reservations and no pulling the punches." ' "I couldn't ask for a atronger statement of the moral Indigna tion of this country against sug gestions that the Chlneae Com munists be admitted to the UJ.." he aald. ' Commenting that the Chinese Communists are even now at war with the U.N.. the President asked: How could the United States, as aelf-respactlng nation, aay that the : Reds -should be admitted to the world organisation? , ..' ;i NEWS MEETING " f A few hours ahead of the Presi dent's meeting with newsmen, Knowland had expressed hope that Eisenhower would promise to recall Congress to deal with the situaUon that would arise if the U.N. should admit the Chinese Communists. . - , Knowland hinted that such ' a pledge might forestall a move in Congress for automatic withdraw al legislation. Eisenhower was not asked about Knowland'g , latest view. , . - v French Plan Draftee Use PARIS uT Premier Pierre Mendes-France said Wednesday he will ask the National Assembly to approve the 'sending of draftees to reinforce French forces In Indo china if the Geneva negotiations end in failure. The Premier also told the law makers he would be leaving soon to take personal charge ot the . French delegation at Geneva. "I have already said that the reasons to hope for a favorable and honorable outcome are pres ent," he declared. "That is still my opinion today.'- The Premier told the Assembly there would be no means ot as suring the safety of . French soldiers already In Indochina If conscripts were not sent. Since the war started in 1947, all the fighting in Indochina has been done by French volunteers, North African troops, and Foreign Legionnaires. The dispatch of draftees to a combat zone was specifically forbidden by the Na tional Assembly. ' Mendes-France reminded tho deputies he has promised to re sign unless he can bring an end to the fighting by July 20.
