Red China Tells u. n.
II Will Seize Formosa
Despite U. 5. Warning
BY the Assoeiated Press

BY the Associated Press
LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y, July 7.
Red China has served notice on
the United Nations that it is de-
termined to seize Formosa despite
any military measures America
may take.
Foreign Minister Chou En-lai
outlined the Peiping regimes po-
sition in a cable yesterday to U. N.
Secretary General Trygve Lie. It
accused the United States of an
"act of open aggression" in as
signing American naval units to
protect the Chinese Nationalist
island bastion.
Meanwhile, the Security Council
called session for 3 pm. today
to take final action on a resolu-
tion asking the United States to
name Gen. Macarthur as the first
supreme commander of a U. N.
military force in battle. Passage
Of the measure appeared certain.
U. N. Called Tool of u. S.
Chou En-lai's message accused
the U. N. of acting as tool of
America by countenancing Presi-
dent Truman's action in sending
American naval vessels to guard
Formosa. 1t said:
by keeping silent on this act
of open aggression of the United
States Government, the Security
Council and the secretary general
of the United Nations have fore
gone their functions and duties of
upholding world peace, and there
by became plant instruments of
the policy of the United States
Government"
Declaring the American act vio-
lateS the U. N. principle forbid
ding any member to use force
against the territorial integrity or
political independence of any other
state" the message continued:
"Taiwan Formosa) is an insep-
arabic part of the territory of
China. This is not only a his
torical fact recognized by the en-
tire world, but is also confirmed by
the Cairo Declaration, the Pots
dam Declaration and the situa-
tion since the surrender of Japan.
To Ignore U. S.
The Communist message con-
cluded:
Despite any military steps of
obstruction taken by the United
States Government, the Chinese
people are irrevocably determined
to liberate Taiwan without fail"
Both the Nationalist and Com
munist regimes hold that Formosa
belongs to China.
The island was ceded to Japan
by China in 1895. It was re-
turned to China in 1945, before
the Chinese Reds gained control
Of the mainland.
Assails Resolution.
The Communist note aSsailed as
illegal the Security Councils
resolution calling on U. N. mem
bers to aid South Korea. Follow
ing the Moscow line, the message
contended Russia and Red China
should have been present for the
Council action.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei A. Gromyko repeated this
argument yesterday when he noti-
fed the U. NJ of RusSia's refusal
to help in repelling the North
Korean invasion.
Security Council approval of
Gen. MacArthur's appointment
would make official what actually
has been a fact since the Korean
conflict began June Is. British,
Australian and other units sent
to the area in response to the
u. N. call went as United Nations
forces. instructed to report to Gen.
Macarthur.
Gen. Macarthur would be ex-
pected to report at intervals to the
Security Council. the U. N. body
charged with maintaining peace.

REV. E. THOMAS
SPEAKS HERE
Third of Series of Outdoor
Services Held in Asbury
Church Because of Rain
SOLOS BY G. FRYE

The third in the series of Sunday
evening outdoor services was held
in Asbury Methodist Church in
stead of at Lake Como due to the
heavy rains. The speak
er, the Rev. DR.. Essel P. Thomas,
superintendent of Easton district,
and former pastor at Asbury
Church, was greeted by a large
number of his parishioners here.
He spoke on the Importance of
foundations in the life of the in
dividual, the church, the nation,
and in international relations, so
that men will not go down under
the press of life. Stressing three
points, mans personal need for a
personal God, mans successful
struggle toward higher morality,
and the ultimate destiny of the
people of the world, he said that
each person pioneers in the search
for God, but that "you must dis
cover God for yourself" Good
ness and character must obtain in
this generation, he stated, and the
budget of goodness must become
big in America and Russia and all
over the world. A Christian who
fears death is silly, he said in con-
clusion, that because Jesus Christ
tasted death, henceforth we are
Free" A firm foundation is belief
in Jesus Christ and simple obed-
fence to his teachings, the speaker
said. Members of all service clubs
were invited and We're given rec
ognition by the Rev. Walter l..
Beckwith. Solos were sung by
Guthrie Frye, Wilmington tenor,
and the combined choirs of Asbury
Church sang. Mrs. John Sparks
was the organist.

DRIVE FOR IRON LUNG

The ambulance service of the
David c. Harrison Post No. IA,

increased number of cases last

week, chief driver Grant G. Garis
reports that the service handled

and trip to Wilmington.
Drive for Iron Lung
With the Legion convention
over, the Legion Auxiliary MEM
bers who have been chosen to solic-
it for the portable Iron Lung Drive
will continue their house-to-house
calls for funds. According to the
last report on the drive, approxi-
mately so per cent of the funds
necessary have been subscribed.
Smyrna, it is felt will go over
the top. We know it can, if the
folks of this area will only stop to
realize what the portable iron lung
can accomplishment when other
expedients used in saving life have
been exhausted" a Legion spokes-
man said. Perhaps the need is
nearer than you think"

ed the kitchen when the bold de-
cended, and although she was not
stunned she described the noise as
that of cannon and said that the
kitchen was filled with bright light
and an odor of bruning, although
no fire ensued. No one in the house
felt any bad effects of the Eghtn-
ing, which apparently grounded in

proposes that the staute be so
written as to give probation and
suspended sentence to any vote
seller turning states evidence for

i've to cover the coming election and

cash price farmers should receive
so cents to IS cents per bushel.

gested that in conjunction with
