Macarthur and Aides
Confer With Chang
After Formosa Flight
BY the Associated Press

TAIPEI, Formosa, July 81
Gen. Douglas Macarthur and his
top commander few into Formosa
today for a war council with
Chang Kai-shek on Nationalist
China's role in the Asian con-
f1icts.
They began talking immedi-
ately after lunch at Chang S
Grass Mountain retreat outside
of Taipei. The nature of the
conversations was not disclosed.
An informed source, however
said Chang was expected to re-
new his offer of $4,000 Chinese
Nationalist troops to fight in Ko-
rea.
Chang also was expected to
press for a more active role in
his war against the Chinese Reds.
President Truman, in ordering
the American 7th Fleet to protect
Formosa soon after the outbreak
in Korea, told the Chinese Ma
tionaliSts to cease attacks on the
Red China mainland.
Chinese Red Boats Attacked.
The Nationalists did-until yes
terday. Then their war planes
hit 500 Chinese Red small boats
near the mainland port of Annoy
opposite Formosa.
The Nationalists said they sank
or damaged $50 of the craft in
"self-defense" of Quemoy. their
small garrison island near Annoy
United States officials have said
that purely defensive attacks are
not banned. However, there was
no explanation of whether the Ma
tionalist air blows had American
approval.
a Chang was expected to tell
Gen. Macarthur of Nationalist
Chlna's needs for arms and am
munition, spare parts and new
planes for his air force and
stronger naval units.
Timing Seen as Significant.
Foreign and Chinese circles
alike saw strong significance in
the timing of Gen. MacArthur's
visit-on the eve of Russia s re-
turn to the United Nations Sc
sGurity Council at Lake Success
Iand assumption of the chairman
ship of the U. N. for the month
~of August.
q: In Tokyo. Gen. MacArthur'S
-headquarters said only that the
visit to Formosa was made in con-
snection with President Truman's
order to protect the big Nation
@alist island from Chinese Com
-nunist invasion.
~ The Reds had masSed large
sAeetS and tens of thousands of
-troops along the China coast 100
miles west of Formosa. An inva-
sion was expected momentarily
when North Korean Reds touched
1off a war in the Orient and Presi-
dent Truman drew his historic
line protecting Formosa.

BERLIN, Nov. 29.-Six Soviet
armies are in winter quarters in
East Germany today but Allied
intelligence rates them strong
enough to seize most of Western
Europe in single blitz action.
This potential sweep from the
Elbe River to the Pyrenees is re-
garded here as Russia's ace card
in the mounting world crisis.
It is an action which many
European observers dread may be
touched off If the United States
resorts to atomic warfare against
Red China.
And these observers say the
Western invasion is virtually cer-
tain to come if the United States
threatens the Soviet Union itself
with an atomic ultimatum to halt
the spreading Asiatic war.
Military sources agree that
Western Europe is practically as
defenseless now as at the outbreak
of Korean hostilities last June.
Only Small Buildup.
There has been a small buildup
Of Allied occupation forces in West
Germany. But the four United
States divisions that were to have
tripled the combat strength of the
American Army on the Rhine in
a few months still are committed
in Korea or pinned down as a
strategic reserve at home.
The six Soviet armies in East
Germany are estimated authori-
tatively to total SO divisions, Of
which at least 10 are armored
heavily. Their tanks. the Joseph
Stain Mark III. are superior to
any in the West.
The total manpower of these
armies is put at $4,000. exceeding
the manpower of the Allied armies
in West Germany by about
100. 900.
Vests Effectiveness Lower.
However, the Allied forces have
a much higher proportion Of serv-
ice troops, making their overall
combat effectiveness correspond
ingly lower.
The Allies, moreover. still are
spread out in occupation posts
and subposts, thereby exposed to
piecemeal annihilation In case Of
sudden attack.
Two Soviet armies are stationed
less than a days march on foot
from the West German frontier.
The other four are distributed so
to 120 miles back.
Their supporting air arm fea-
lures jet fighters, with some
bomber squadrons in reserve. This
Soviet force is believed sufficient
to make a serious challenge for air
superiority in the first hours of
battle and to achieve supremacy
over the front If forward Allied
fields are overrun quickly.
The six Soviet armies completed

neuvers in late October.
Their training this autumn en-

would be necessary to hurdle the

CONSERVE WATER, PLEASE

Reading of the water shortage of other Southeast Alaskan com munities, Douglas officials are keep ing a watchful eye on its own pride and icy. With no sign of let up in the freezing dry weather, resi- dents are asked to conserve on water usuage, so there is no need less waste. According to the otii- cials. there is ample water for gen. eral use, and the emergency Hume can be utilized in emergency, but it will not stand continued high volume of taps utnred on in ef- forts to prevent residential pipes from freezing.
 Officials ask that all residents use fair judgment, in letting taps run during this weather. so the community is not placed in jeop- ardy, after all it's important to all concerned, and it's better to be safe than sorry.
