THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1954 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGB NINE US Formosa Defense Pact Seen As Warning To Reds WASHINGTON Wt Red China bad blunt warning today that the United States would probably at tack the Chinese mainland if the Reds attempted to conquer For mosa. Secretary of State Dulles made this statement yesterday in an nouncing that a mutual security pact will be signed with the Chi nese nationalists on Formosa in the next few days. He said the treaty means U.S. retaliation against any Red inva sion of Formosa. Although saying a counterattack on the mainland was probable in such an event, he declined to discuss in detail the scope of any retaliation. In another statement at bis press conference yesterday, add ing up to a "tough" policy on Com munist China. Dulles said that the United States may yet consider a naval blockade for the China coast if American rights are not respected that is, if the 13 Americans recently sentenced as spies are not released. NEW PACT The new pact, if ratified by the Senate as expected, will assure American protection for many years to Formosa and the Pesca dores Islands, thus forging the last link in a chain of military alliances designed to block Red Chinese ex pansion in the Pacific. The Islands bave been shielded by the U.S. 7th Fleet since the beginning of the Korean War In June 1950. Under the treaty the shielding may go on for years more. Yoshida Reply Heard By Diet TOKYO W Prime Minister Shi fiord Yoshida, in stinging replies to nis met (Parliament) critics, said today, "It is very necessary' for the Japanese to know the real menace of the Communist offensive." And hs snapped at 'opponents seeking to oust him: "The Liberal party will decide when and wheth er I should step down." The 76-year-old lender fought back at critics who attacked aim for being too "pro-American." "It is necessary to oppose com munism," he said. "If that Is called 'alignment with America only,' I say all the free world is aligned with America only." To questioners In the Diet who urged expansion of trade with the Communists, be declared: "The Communist radios pour sugar-coated words at Japanese ears," he said. "At the same time, the Communist radio beamed to Southeast Asia tell them Japan is being rearmed for lenewed ag gression under American instiga tion. It is foolish to buy Communist words at face value." "Russia and China," he said, "have been unable .to export to earn foreign exchange. If they have no foreign exchange, how can we expect them to buy anything from us?" Yoshida refused to give his critics any hint of his retirement plans. He has agreed to step down as president of his Liberal party, with the broad hint that this also would mean he would retire from the prime ministership in the near future. Critics both on the lert and right have combined in a two-pronged drive to oust Yoshida from office. The newly formed Democratic party made up of conservatives like Yoshida and the Socialists oppose the leader whose more than six continuous years in office is by far a Japanese record. Yoshida's Liberals, f conserva tive group, still are the largest party in the Diet, but the Demo crats and Socialists could push a nonconfidence motion and force new elections,' The treaty is expected to go to the Senate early next year for ratification. Several members of the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee indicated today a favorable reaction to the pact. South Korea, Japan, the Philip ! pines, Australia. New Zealand and i parts of Southeast Asia already jare covered by similar treaties. The Eisenhower administration, I while taking a strong policy line in the Par East, Is reported hope ful that gradually a modus Vivendi a way of getting along will be touna without warlike actions. The treaty with Chiang Kai-shek, Dul les made clear. Is supposed to con tribute to that purpose. FREEDOM A3 for Chiang's freedom to at tack the mainland, Dulles said he expects an arrangement to be worked out under which Chiang would consult with this country on such action. This could hn ennsir!. lered a sort of Washington-held rein on Chiang. In London, the British Foreign Office said the Churchill govern ment had not been consulted on the new pact but had been assured it "is purely defensive." The guarantee of American pro tection does not cover the numer ous Nationalist-held islands close to the Chinese Communist coast which range from 90 to 200 mile-i distant from Formosa. The Reds have been attacking those islands in recent months. Chiang has wanted the United States to Join in their defense, at least with air power. The United States has refused to do co. SPECULATION There has been some speculation among diplomats that an arrange ment might eventually be worked out in which the Chinese Reds would gradually take over the off shore Islands and accept, without agreeing to it, cnlang's permanent control of Formosa. The United States and British governments have been discussing the problem of "pacifying" the area for months. Dulles said he hoped that the treaty would help to stabilise the area. It should do this, he said, by removing any thought that the United States might make a, deal to let Formosa or the Pescadores go to the Chinese Reds. The secretary of state was not so precise in discussing whether the United States would forbid a deal on the offshore islands. He said those were Chinese Islands and the United States could not make a deal on them because It had no special legal Interest in tnem. LEGAL INTEREST The United States does have a special legal interest in Formosa and the Pescadores. They were renounced by Japan In the Japa nese Peace Treaty, which .the United States signed. '. Dulles said there is a clause in the new treaty which provides for extending protection to other areas by agreement. An agreement could be made. for example, to include some of the offshore islands if that seemed necessary. Or the treaty could be extended by agreement to cover some of the Chinese mainland if Chiang regained control over some of it. Dulles said if the Senate wanted such extensions made subject to ratification, that could be worked out.

The strange drama began short ly after 5 a.m. yesterday when a man telephoned The Associated Press. "I broke into the New Follies burlesque a couple hours ago," he told me. "I'm in love with a dancer there, Loretta Miller. "I want to get her publicity. I want to get her picture In every paper in the country. Call the police and come over here. But you be careful. I'm armed." I called the detective bureau. Two detectives and two officers entered the theater with a portable floodlight. A man onstage was caught in ita glare. Police said he fired twice with a .32 automatic. The first was at the light and the second struck him in the head. The officers re turned fire. The stage floor bore printed tes timonials of his infatuation; "Dear Loretta, Just to hold you In my arms. . .My red-neaaed angei. , Miss Miller previously had re ported to police that she received two letters signed, "Roger."

The second note to the dancer said, in part, "It you happen to read or hear of a guy name a Roger coming to a violent end, pleaie pin a little piece of black to your costume."
