U.S. Interference In Red China Must Stop—Chou
Tokyo, Dec. 8 — (U.P.)— Chou En Lai, Premier and Foreign Minister of Communist China, warned the United States today that if it "perishes in interfering in China's internal affairs, it must take upon itself all the grave consequences."
Red China's propaganda outlet, Peiping radio, broadcast a statement by Chou saying that the Mutual Security treaty recently concluded between the U. S. and Nationalist China "is in every sense a treaty of war and aggression."
The broadcast, monitored in Tokyo by United Press, was the latest and strongest in a series of threats made against the U. S. for strengthening its alliance with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's forces.
Two days ago Chou En Lai said in another Peiping broadcast that the U.S. was creating a "serious danger of new war" in concluding the pact, and added the Reds intended to "liberate" Chiang's Nationalist stronghold of Formosa.
Much of Chou's statement today was a repetition of earlier irades against the United States, but his language was getting noticeably stronger.
"The United States government, disregarding the repeated protests and warnings of the Chinese people, concluded Dec. 2 a so-called Mutual Security treaty with the traitorous Chiang Kai-Shek clique fugitives on Taiwan (Formosa)." Chou said.
engage this treaty, the United States government attemtts to legalize its armed seizure of (Red) China's territory of Taiwan . . . and to extend its agression against China and prepare a new war."

Stern Violin Technique Wins Praise
Rv HEIKO ENGELKES
Violinist Isaac Stern proved his virtuosity in technique and expression in a concert presented by the University Concert course in Hoch auditorium last night.
In a perfect musical partnership with Alexander Zakin, whose accompaniment at the piano allowed him to unfold his personality in an extreme artful performance, he inspired the large audience with his program including Handel, Brahms, Paganini, Prokofieff, Kreisler, De Falla and Wieniawski. In three encores he presented Milhaud, Bartok and Dinicu.
Starting with the "Sonata in D Major" by Hanel, he introduced himself with a rather simple piece but impressed at once by his technical security and the soft and singing guaiety of tune, receiving extra ampliuse for the Larghetto.
With the "Sonata No. 2 in A Major, Op. 100," by Brahms, Mr. Stern surprised with an extraordinarily exact outlining of the different phrases and a full tone in each detail, presenting the Andante tranquillo in a great performance.

Washington—(U.P.)—President Eisenhower said today that if Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy and his followers want to form a new third party, it is their own business. Formation of a third party, he said, would be very difficult.
AF General to Crown Queen
An Air Force general will crown the 1954 Military Ball queen at the Military Ball Saturday night.
Maj. Gen, Jarred V. Crabb, commander of the Central Air Defense command, Grandview Air Force Base. Mo. will do the honors during intermission. Gen. Crabb is one of many high-ranking military officers in this area who will attend the dance.
The other dignitary involved in the coronation will be selected tonight, but the names of the queen and her two attendants will not be revealed until the dance. The 12 finalists for the honor will be entertained at a formal reception tonight by the queen selection committee.
The queen and her attendants will be chosen by the queen selection committee, which is composed of the 12 escorts for the finalists, faculty representatives on the steering committee for the ball. and the heads of the three ROTC departments.
As for Sen. McCarthy's attack on him yesterday, Mr. Eisenhower said he has no intention himself of indulging in personal vituperation or quarrels of any kind with anyone.
Sen. McCarthy broke completely with the President yesterday in a slashing statement repudiating his 1952 support of Mr. Elsenhower and accusing the President of a "shrinking show of weakness" on the Communist issue.
Sen. McCarthy said later he had no intention—"at the present time"—of bolting the GOP and forming a third party.
The President's weekly meeting with reporters today developed largely into a discussion of the third party prospects and the possible damage to the GOP caused by the dispute over the Senate's "condemination" of Sen. McCarthy last week.
MR. ESSENHOWER said he envisaged a successful Republican party founded on a basis of progressive moderation and positive action rather than destructive criticism.
He said, in response to a hypothetical question, that he would be glad to support a 1956 GOP presidential nominee who backed his own general philosophy of government—if he decides not to run again.
The President told his news conference he has made no decision on his personal future.
He said he could not say whether a party split would make him more, or less, likely to run again.
