Nationalists Renew Invasion Demands
By PHIL NEWSOM
United Press Foreign News Editor By accident, or not, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek has taken advantage of the American political situation to voice his demand that his U.S.-equipped, Nationalist soldiers be permitted to invade Red China.
China. The Korean war, where Red China is the chief adversary, is a hot political campaign issue.
Accompanying it is a demand that Oriental be allowed to fight Oriental, thus saving the lives of American boys who today are dying on the Korean ridges.
Here is some background on the U.S. attitude toward Formosa and the approximate 600,000 Chinese Nationalist troops bottled up there since the lafl of the China mainland.
On June 27, 1950, just after North Korean communists invaded South Korea and American troops were ordered to the South Koreans' defense, President Truman ordered the U.S. 7th fleet to "neutralize" the Formosa straits to prevent action, either by the Chinese Nationalists or the Reds.
State department sources say "this is still the policy," subject to constant review to meet any "changing situations."

Drought Continues to Run; Kansas Is Driest Since 1940
By UNITED PRESS
The Southwest weather picture showed varying local temperature patterns today, but the entire region was uniform in the department that has caused the most concern in recent months—there was no rain.
The weather bureau said there was no likelihood of rain in the next few days in the seven state area from 'Yoming to the Rio Grande.
The long dry spell brought these results.
In Kansas, federal and state experts reported soils in the western two-thirds of the state were drier than they have been since 1904. Average penetration of moisture is 33.1 inches, compared with 47.8 inches in October, 1951. No tests have been made yet in the eastern third of the state, which is also very dry.

In Wyoming, Forest Rangers reported the state's woodlands were tinder dry, with serious danger of forest fires. Extra men were stationed at key points to watch for fires, and many areas were closed to hunters.
nuters.
In Texas, the U.S. Agriculture department reported no measurable rain had fallen any place in the state in the last seven days. Winter range and pasture feed reserves were described as "critically short in all areas."
Texas was due to be a little warmer today than yesterday. Oklahoma was to be warmer in the extreme east and southeast. Kansas and Missouri were to be cooler in the north and warmer in the south, while no important temperature changes were forecast for Colorado and Wyoming.
The hottest spot in the southwest yesterday was Presidio, Texas, with 89 degrees. Other highs, by states, were Guymon, Okla., 76; St, Joseph, Mo., 69; Hill City, Kan., 73; Rodeo, N.M., 86; LaJunta, Colo., 76, and Cody, Wyo., 69.

Moore Criticizes European Life
The countries of Western Europe have made great progress since World War II, but they have failed to conquer their biggest stumbling block—the language barrier, Raymond C. Moore, temporary chairman of the department of geology, said today.
Dr. and Mrs. Moore have returned from a 16-month tour of Europe and Northern Africa. Dr. Moore, research director of the State Geological survey has spent the last year as a visiting professor at the University of Utrecht, the Netherlands. He also lectured at universities in Sweden, Norway, Belgium, and France.
"The longer I stayed in Europe the more I became aware of this problem of language barriers." Dr. Moore said. "We in the United States can't imagine what it would be like to have to speak a different language every time we crossed a state border, but that's what the Europeans are faced with."
Dr. Moore said that university people in those countries usually speak several languages. In Holland, Denmark and Switzerland, the students are able to understand lectures in English, French, Dutch and German.
In addition to lecturing at the universities, Dr. Moore made several geological expeditions into all parts of Europe. He said that he was in several villages where no American had never been.
Speaking of the economics of Europe, Dr. Moore said that in Switzerland, Belgium and Holland no one is actually poor. The stores are full of goods and the prices are reasonable. The people have plenty to eat and life is fairly decent.
He said that life in these backward areas is terribly hard and the people find it difficult to live at all. He explained that in these countries the power and funds were in the hands of the few and that the term peasants is used in the lowest sense.
policy in one form or another.
This isn't true in England, France and Italy, he said. He thought that the cumulative austerity of life has drained the people of all their ambition. He said that everything in their country is controlled and scarce.
Last Sept. 14, Assistant Secretary of State John M. Allison said that "our 7th fleet makes certain that any communist aggression against Formosa shall not succeed. It will continue to do so."
This week Generalissimo Chiang told a press conference that he heartily agrees with the Kuomintang party manifesto which held that an invasion of China by his forces is the only means of halting communist aggression in Asia.

Here has been some of the thinking against allowing any such invasion:
Sen. Lester C. Hunt, D., Wyo-
chairman of a Senate armed services subcommittee, said last June that the figure of 600,000 battle-worthy troops for Chiang Kai-Shek was an over estimate; that in reality those troops numbered around 375,000 and that many of these didn't even have shoes, let alone weapons.
This meant that the official U.S. view was that Chiang had no chance of winning a major military campaign on the China mainland.
On Jan. 13, 1951, the United Nations General Assembly, by a vote of 50 to 7, with the United States voting "for", adopted as one point of a Korean peace the principle that:
Schulz The Tailor 924 Mass.
As soon as agreement is reached on settlement of the Korean war, the U.S., United Kingdom, Russia, Red China and other powers would meet with a view to settlement of far eastern problems, including Formosa and Chinese representation in the UN.
So far as the UN and the United States are concerned, that policy apparently still stands.

Typhoon Causes Heavy Loss In Philippines; Gaum Alerted
Manila, Philippines—(U.P.)—Typhoon Trix, the most violent storm to hit the Philippines in five years, swept out over the China sea today, leaving at least 155 dead and $2,500,000 in property damage.
The Red Cross said 118 victims of the two-day storm were buried this morning at Tabac, but did not disclose whether they drowned or died from other causes. The Red Cross also reported 21 known deaths in Sorsogon and 16 in Legaspi City, both in southeast Luzon.
the property damage estimate of $25,000 was believed conservative. Communications still were down in many areas and the Red Cross could not learn at once the full extent of damage.
Thousands were homeless in Lagos City, where all public buildings and 90 per cent of private homes were destroyed. In Naga, half of the city's private houses were blown down.
down.
Guam was put on a typhoon alert early today as a precautionary measure, but the weather bureau here said the mid-Pacific island was in no immediate danger.
Civil aeronautics officials messaged Honolulu saying Guam was put on a "No. 1" typhoon alert and was preparing to secure all property and move inhabitants to shelters.
An hour later, however, the Navy on Guam changed the alert to a "condition No. 2" which indicated the danger of typhoon "Wilma" striking the island had lessened.
The weather bureau said the tv-
phoon was located about 250 miles southwest of Guam late Wednesday night. It was reported moving at a speed of about 10 knots with maximum winds up to 97 miles per hour.
In the two days the storm raged over the Central Philippines, winds reached 140 miles an hour. Even as it disappeared out to sea, winds were close to 100 miles an hour.
