Defense Pact Signed
|By2 NATo Nations
And Red Yugos|ayia
BY the Assoeiosed Press

ANKARA. Turkey, Feb. 28.-
Communist Yugoslavia and two
NATO countries, Greece and
Turkey. signed a pact of friend
ship today in which they agreed
to collaborate for defense.
Foreign Minister Stephan
Stephanopoulos of Greece, one
of the signers, said the treaty
was an "edifice strong enough
to discourage any intention of
aggression against this part Of
the world"
The other signers were Yugo-
slav Foreign Minister Kota Pop
ovic and Turkish Foreign Min
lister Fuad Koprulu.
One of the clauses OF the
treaty, which is to last five years,
provides that other neighboring
countries may join with the con-
sent Of all three signatories.
Obviously this was an opening
for Bulgaria or Albania, If either
wished to throw off their Com
inform allegiance and come in
under the protective pact, or
Italy, should she reach an &C
cord with Yugoslavia over
Trieste.
The pact contains a provision
that it does not affect the rights
and obligations of Greece and
Turkey as members of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
This rules out any pledge that
the armed forces of Greece and
Turkey would automatically 60
to the defense of Yugoslavia in
the event of an unprovoked ag-
erosion by Russia or a satellite.
The treaty machinery. how
ever, will enable the three coun-
tries to draw up dovetailed de-
Tense plans. deploy their forces
to the greatest advantage. ex-
change information and con-
suit on action.
The treaty is subject to ratifi-
cation by the three parliaments.

To RedoubIe Efforts
To Re'fake Mainland
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

q =. TAIPEH, Sunday, March L.
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
called on Formosa and the rest
of Free China yesterday to mo-
milize all its manpower and re-
Sources and speed united efforts
for recovery of the Chinese Com
mun1St mainland.
In his first message since
President Eisenhower lifted the
ban on operations by Nationalist
military forces against the Reds,
Gen. Chang said:'
"The moment of our counter
attack is drawing nearer and
nearer.
Hundreds of millions of our
compatriots are suffering from
oppression at the hands of Rus
sian puppets and are eagerly
looking to us to deliver them at
an early date"
Marks Anniversary.
The Nationalist leader issued
a 1000 word statement on the
eve of the third anniversary to-
day of hisareassumption Of the
presidency of the Republic Of
China.
At the height of the Chinese
civil war, Gen. Chang stepped
down temporarily January 81.

President Ii Tsung-jen, tried in
vain to reach agreement with
the Reds. Ii left China for the

sibly for reasons of health. Gen
Chang came to Formosa and on
March l, 1850. proclaimed that
he once again had assumed
leadership.
Year "MOst Important"
Gen. Chang said: 1.-THE cur
rent year is the most important,
insofar as the making of anti
Communist and anti Russian
preparations is concerned"
He urged redoubled efforts to
reduce expenses and increase
production "at this time when
feverish preparations are being
made for counter-attacking the
mainland"

Chinese infantrymen slammed

rean peninsula in the chill pre-
dawn darkness today but dug-in
Allied troops stood their ground.
The heaviest attack was a 150-
man Chinese Red force that hit
the main Allied line near Capitol
Hill on the east central front.
The Reds were hurled back in a
45-minute fight.
Small forces probed Allied
positions on the eastern and
western fronts, but these, too,
were repulsed.
Broken clouds and overcast
skies Sunday cut Allied air action
to the lowest point in weeks.
The Navy said its ships and
planes Saturday continued the
relentless attack on Wonsan-
the longest naval siege in United
States history.
The heavy cruiser Los Angeles
moved inside the east coast har-
Dor and fired away.
The Navy announced the
"heavy bombardment" while it
was in progress-departing from
the usual policy Of reporting &C
tons when they are "a hours

Near Panmunjom. an Allied
patrol went out looking for a
mystery woman" - and got
caught in a Red trap. The patrol
shot its way out, claiming Is
Chinese killed and IL wounded.

white blouse-had appeared Fri

down in front of Red positions

LONDON. Feb. 2S.-Britain
weighed gravely today a Com
munist offer to trade a British
businessman serving a 13-year
prison term in Hungary for a
Chinese glamour girl guerrilla
leader standing in the shadow
of the gallows in Malaga.
The Foreign ONCE said no de-
cision had as yet been reached.
1t was a grim chess move by
world communism through Hun
garyls Red government with
these human beings as pawns:
Edgar Sanders, 4S, bespec-
tacled cousin of dlm Star George
Sanders, who has served three
years of the 13-year sentence on
espionage charges in case that
originally involved Robert A.
Vogeler, q New York business
man.
Lee Meng. alias Lee Ten Tai,
Is, a pretty and sullen rebel
campaigner in Malaga, on whose
head the British had placed a
price Of $4,000.
Accused in 9 Killings.
A Malayan court convicted Lee
Meng last summer of carrying
a hand grenade. The offense
carries a mandatory death pen
atty in Malaga, where the Brit
ish have been waging a jungle
war for five years against Com
munist-led guerillas. The girl
was accused of responsibility for
the death Of nine Britons.
The sensational barter offer
clearly put the British govern
ment on the spot. Communists
figure the Kremlin will reap a
propaganda advantage, regard
less Of what decision Prime Min
lister Churchill's cabinet takes.
MaIayan Tieup Confirmed.
The offer gave Communist
confirmation to what the non-
Communist world already knew
that the struggle in the jun
giles of Malaga is tied in with
the whole world picture of Com
munist aggression and pressure.
In the past the Communists have
contended the Malayan fighting
was entirely a nationalist move
ment against British authority.
Mr.. Sanders and Mr.. Vogeler,
executives of the International
Telephone & Telegraph Corp.
were convicted on espionage by
a Budapest court February 81,
1850. Both the United States and
British governments branded
their conviction as travestieS of
justice.
Mr.. Vogeler, who got ID years,
was released in 1851 after the
United States Government made
a series of concessions.
Awaiting Propaganda.
World Communism gave every
indication it would make Mr..
Sanders serve his full sentence
until the opportunity arose to
make a propaganda coup in
Malaga. The Reds strategy APP
peared to be this-if Lee Meng
hangs now. they will shout. that
the British are butchers; If the
trade saves her life. they will
say she never was guilty in the
first place. .... ....

Talmud which has to do with the
laws of marriage and bethrothal
is called "Kiddushin." This has
been taken to serve as an in
dication that marriage to the Jew

God.
= = 4
QUESTION: Why is the phrase
according to the Laws of Moses
and of Israel" attached to the
formula? IF. r.. Townsville. Gal
ANSWER: The Tosafit Com
mentary declares that this is done
so that the bond of marriage is
made subject to the approval and
the future governing force of the
sages who interpret the laws of
Moses and Of Israel. This leaves
room for future occasions when
the marriage is sometimes subject
to form of annulment by the
power vested in duly ordained
rabbis. Some commentaries claim
that the phrase according to the
laws of Moses and of Israeli. i'm
plies the state of purity of the
bride according to the religious
precepts laid down by the law of
Moses and the interpretations
which followed it.

QUESTION:: Why is the term
"consecrated" used in the for
mula?
ANSWER: The term in ques-
ton is the Hebrew term "Meku-
deshes." The Tosafit commentary
translates this term as form of
the verb which means "to set
aside" and thus the formula might
be saying that thou art set aside
for me-" Actually consecrating
an object is a matter of setting it
aside or apart for a reason. Thus
the original verb may be used in
its simple form instead of i'm
plying conservation. However,
marriage in Jewish life has been
hallowed with the name of
'Kiddushin" which commentaries
have preferred to interpret as
some form of conservation or
holiness" The tractate of the

QUESTION: What is the mar

ANSWER: It is an old Hebrew
formula VIII c h means Behold
thou art consecrated unto me
with this ring in accordance with
the Laws of Moses and of Israel"
The first part of this formula is
mentioned in the Talmud along
with other variations such as "Be-
hold thou art bethrothed unto
me" or Behold thou art my wife"
(Talmud Babli, Tractate Kedu-
shin 5b). The latter part accord
ing to the laws of Moses and of

the Tosafit commentary (Tosafit,
