Chang Again Blast,
Red Chinese Port in
Sea and Air Attack
U. S.-SuppIied Jets
Aid NutionuIists in
Pounding Annoy Base
By the hssoeioted Press

TAIPEH. Formosa. Sept. g.
Chinese Nationalist warships
and planes-including United
States-supplied F84 Thunderjets
teamed up again today to
pound possible Communist in
vasion bases on the mainland,
the Defense Ministry announced.
It was the first time National
list jets have been in action
against the Reds.
The ministry said bombs and
shells rained for the third day
on Communist batteries which
have shelled Quemoy, National
list island just OF the coast op-
poSite Formosa, and on bases
where the Reds may have been
massing junks for an invasion.
Gen. Chang Yi-ting, army
spokesman, said he had no in
formation on reports that the
two former United States de-
stroyers took part in the bonn
bardment Of Annoy and other
Communist bases ~ithin gun
range Of Quemoy.
Turned Over to Chang.
The destroyers, turned over to
the Nationalist last month, are
the former U. S. S. Hilary P.
Jones and the former U. S. s..
Benson.
Even as the Nationalist sea
and air attacks continued, top
Government officials conferred
on plans for a five-hour visit
to F'ormosa tomorrow by Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles.
The Secretary, due here from
Manila at noon, will attend a
briefing by United States Off
Gals and call on President
Chang Kai-shek. Chang is ex-
pected to discuss in broad terms
the whole Far East situation.
Mr.. Dulles is to leave for
Tokyo at pm.
Some Nationalist sources eau
tiously predicted that the threat
of a Communist invasion of
Quemoy, if one actually did
exist, has diminished since Ma
tionalist attacks began this
week.
1T is too early to say" Gen.
Chang told newsmen, whether
our joint operations against the
Communists have been effec-
tive"
He reported, however, that the
Communists fired no shot at
Quemoy Tuesday or Tuesday
night. A few sporadic shots
were reported Wednesday after
noon.
Gen. Chang said intelligence
reports indicate the Communists
have four army corps, about
100. 900 men, in Fukien province,
of which Quemoy, Annoy and
other coastal islands are a part.
The spokesman said Com
munist artillery within range of
Quemoy had been almost dou-
bled prior to a five-hour bonn
bardment of the. Nationalist
island Friday.

that he heard Brig. Gen. Ralph
w. Zwicker, key figure in one
of the charges against Senator
Mccarthy, call the Senator IAN
SOB" under his breath during
a hearing of the Mccarthy
investigations subcommittee in
New York last February.
The first witness was Maj.
Gen. Kirke B. Lawton, retired,
former commander of the Army's
Fort Monmouth IN. j. radar
laboratories.
Gen. Lawton declined to testi-
fy about a conversation he had
late last November or early De-
cember with Gen. Zwicker, who
was the ncommander at Camp
Kilmer, N. j.
Gen. Lawton, who was retired
August 81 because of disability,
based his refusal on President
Eisenhower's letter of last May
II to Secretary of Defense Will
son directing Defense Depart
ment personnel not to disclose to
the Army-McC arthy investiga-
ton their conversations about
that controversy.
Consulted Counsel.
The gray-haired general,
dressed In civilian clothes, said he
had consulted with counsel in
several areas" and was advised
that Gen. Eisenhower's order
applied to the current censure
inquiry as well as to the Army
Mccarthy investigation.
The Defense Department said
Gen. Lawton was advised yes
terday that the presidential ex-
ecutive order forbidding dis
closure by Government employees
of discussions between and
within departments would apply
to his appearance before the
Senate committee.
WILDER M. Brucker, the de-
partment's general counsel, how
ever, maintained that Gen. Law
ton had not been gagged" and
declared:
1.-THE Department of Defense
is making no effort whatever to
influence Gen. Lawton's testi-
mony in any manner not COW
cred by the presidential direc-
tive"
His statement brought the
charge from Edward Bennett
Williams. Senator McCarthy's
counsel, that the Army was
definitely gagging" Gen. Lawton
and that the advice the general
quoted was either incompetent
or not in good faith"
Charge Involves Peress.
One of the five main charges
against Senator Mccarthy in the
cenSure proceedings is that he
abused Gen. Zwicker during a
closed hearing last fall by his
Senate Investigating Subcommit-
tee on the Peress case. This was
an investigation of a promotion
and honorable discharge given
Maj. Irving PereSS, a New York
dentist, then assigned to Camp
Kilmer, accused by Senator Nc
Carthy of being "a Fifth Amend
ment Communist"
The second witness was Will
liam j. Harding, jr., director of
a sales agency in New York, who
said he attended an open session
of the subcommittee on the
morning of February Is.
The closed subcommittee ses-
sion in which Senator Mccarthy
is accused of abusing Gen. Zwick-
er was held later the same day
as the open session Mr.. Harding
said he attended.
Mr.. Harding said that Senator

Casey First to Sign.
Australia's Richard G. Casey
was first to sign the historic
document. He began affixing his
signature to the various copies

The documents, about Is
inches by IL, were bound in dark
blue leather. The ministers
signed with individual gold pens.

Zealand's T. Clifton Webb and
Pakistan's Sir Mohammed Ia
frullah Khan.
The entire Philippine delega-
ton then signed. led by Vice
President Carlos P. Garcia,
chairman of the conference.
The Philippine delegation,
dressed in native Tagalog shirts,
was followed by Thailand's
Prince Wan Waithayakon and
Great Britain's Lord Reading.
John Foster Dulles, United
States Secretary of State who
sponsored and spanked the meet
ing, signed at 5:l8 pm.
MFR. Garcia banged his gavel
and declared the conference

Defines Treaty Area.
The hands of" warning to
the Communists defined the
treaty area as "the general area
of Southeast Asia, including also
the entire territories of the
Asian parties, and the general
area of the Southwest Pacific,
not including the Pacific area
north of 81 degrees 80 minutes
north latitude"
The last definition would ex-
tend the treaty just north of the
northern tip of the Philippines,
but short of Chinese Nationalist
Formosa.
The treaty stipulated that
other countries could join.
Mr.. Dulles helped clear the
way for signing when he agreed
to delete from the treaty's pre-
amble the word "Communist"
in identifying potential agrees
sors. However, Mr.. Dulles speci-
fed that other member nations
must agree in writing that the
United States would not nee
essarily consider a local war as
aggression. This specification
was written into the pact.
Outline of Provisions.
The treaty, consisting Of a
preamble and II articles:
l. Approves a military agree

Reds Hold Rallies
In Guatemala 10
Form Defense Units
BY the Asseeiutad Press

GUATEMALA, June 7.-Gua-
temalan workers gathered at
four Communist dominated mass
meetings yesterday to organize
vigilante defense units. The
rallies served as a show Of sup
port for President Jacobo Arbenz
Guzman's leftist government.
The meetings were called by
the nations two biggest labor
organizationS-the General Con-
federation Of workers tCGTG)
and the National Confederation
Of Farmers (CNCG). Both are
controlled by the Reds.
The CGTG sponsored one
meeting at the seaport Of Puerto
Barrios. The CNCG rallies were
held in Guatemala City, Ell Pro-
eresso and Zacapa to lay the
foundations for a farmers mill
tia to defend "the national SOW
ereignty."
Army Link Denied.
Some newspapers have re-
ported this militia would be
armed with weapons discarded
by the army. Gen. Carlos H.
Sarti, army chief of staff, said,
however, the army had no con-
nection with the project.
Guatemala received a $40 mil
lion arms shipment last month
from Stettin, in Communist
ruled Poland. AS a result, the
army repeatedly is getting rid
OF some of its older weapons.
The former chief of the
Guatemalan air force, Col.
Rodolfo Mendoza Azurdia, fed
the country yesterday in
private plane. Informed sources
said he had received asylum in
neighboring El Salvador.
Tricked Airport Guards.
Col. Mendoza got away by
trtcking airport guards with the
excuse he wanted to go on a
test flight. Newspapers reported
he was accompanied by his
brother Miguel, also a colonel
and a former undersecretary of
defense.
Miguel is considered a leader
OF the opposition to the Arbenz
government and is said to have
been on the wanted list.
