Korean Threatens War If Formosa Is Attacked

Bv UNITED PRESS
The Republic of Korea's army chief of staff said today that his nation would promptly open a second front against Red China in the north if the Chinese Communists attack Formosa.
ROK army chief, Gen. Chung In Kown, told a press conference in the Nationalist capital at Taipei that such action would be "taken automatically and without any documents or pacts," if war erupts over the Formosan crisis.
And in Manila, Nationalist Foreign Minister George Yeh told a press conference Nationalist China would defend Quemoy and Matsu "regardless of what the United States intends to do."
Bonn: Chancellor Konrad Adenauer said he was confident France will ratify the Paris treaties to rearm West Germany and that he thought it would not be necessary to "hold a chair open" for France in the European defense set-up.
Britain was reported seeking Nationalist evacuation of Matsu and Quemoy as a prelude to a ceasefire. Nationalist China has rejected this condition and said it would light for them.
Tokyo: Soviet Russia informed Japan it is ready to negotiate on "normalization" of relations wherever Tokyo preferred, including UN headquarters in New York. Russia did not sign the San Francisco peace treaty and the two nations technically still are at war.
In other developments;
London: Former Labor party Prime Minister Clement Attlee said today Britain should explore Russia's attitude on free German elections before German rearmament is finally ratified.
But Mr. Attiee said four-powers talks with Russia should only be held after ratification is completed.

Chiang Says No Fighting Yet
Taipei, Formosa —(U.P.)— President Chiang Kai-shek said today a showdown between the United States and Russia “perhaps will not come until the Soviet Union is encroaching on U.S. territory.”
The 67-year-old anti-Communist leader indicated in the interview he believed the U.S. would not stand and fight in the face of the next aggressive move by the Chinese Communists.
"The United States cannot afford to withdraw any more at any point," he said in an interview with Earnest Hoberecht, United Press vice president for Asia.
He said there was a possibility his off-shore islands of Quemoy and Matsu might become "similar cases like Korea."
The situation in the Formosa strait itself was quiet for the third straight day but Nationalist sources warned the Communists were building up their forces in southeast China for assaults on Quemoy and Matsu.
Whether Red China would be persuaded not to attack the two islands was doubtful.
A televised speech tonight by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles is expected to clarify U.S. policy on defense of Chinese Nationalist islands under the guns of Red China.

The house passed and sent to the Senate the modernization measure which would keep the Kansas motorist from breaking the law almost every time he drove into a filling station and bought gasoline.
The repeal of the obsolete provision would remove the requirement that a gallon of gas sold at retail have a specific weight. The weight of gasoline as it goes into the automobile tank varies according to temperature. The old statute made the purchaser guilty when the exact weight differed from the standard.
The House-approved bill also removes designations from bushel measurements of all farm products except wheat and shelled corn.
Baking vegetables preserves practically all the food value and flavor.
