Douglas Asks Recognition
OF Red Chino, Seating in u. N.

The problem is to draw a line
between them and get guaran-
tee Of non-ageression from each
with some sort of United Nations
trusteeship over the intervening
islands involved in the contro-
versy." he said.
From there on. he said. the
matter involves settling differ
ences between Red China and
the West and the admission Of
Red China to the United Ma
tions.
He said a change would be
necessary in the arrangement
which now gives Nationalist
China seat on the Security
Council.
Sees No Chance Of Overthrow.
Justice Douglas also said that
the Communist government con-
trolls the mainland Of China
with no prospects for an over
throw" and added that, historic
cally, United States policy has
been to recognize a regime which
controls a country whether We
like them or not"
Recognition does not mean
and never has necessarily meant
approval, he said. 1T merely
means acknowledgment that q
regime is in control of q nation
and that we should undertake
to- treat automatically with that
country"
In panel discussion after his
speech, Justice Douglas said he
believed Russia benefited and
Japan suffered from non-recog-
milton of Red China by the
United States.
Russia now has 80 per cent
Of China's trade. he said, and
Japan's share has been cut as a
result of the United States posi-
ton.
He also said the Communists
have taken the propaganda ini-
tiative in Asia Ito an unbeliev-
able degree"

BY the Associated Pres.

Senator Jenner, Republican. OF
Indiana said today some means
must be found to curb the activi-
ties of some American citizens
whom he accused Of spreading
Communist propaganda after
returning from Red China.
"They must not be allowed to
aid an enemy Of the United
States abroad and then return
to the United States and enjoy
freedoms and privileges for which
other Americans fought" he said.
"At the very least, they should
be required to register as foreign
agents"
Senator Jenner made the state
ment in announcing publication
by the Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee of another volume
of testimony in a probe into the
activities Of American citizens
he has accused Of aiding the
cause Of Red China. He headed
the subcommittee in the last
Congress.
The latest volume includes
testimony taken at public
hearing in San Francisco on De-
cember 13 from Mrs. Sylvia C.
Powell, wife Of John w. Powell,
former editor of the China
Monthly Review.
Mr.. Powell was a witness be-
fore the subcommittee at q hear

tions he refused to answer under
his constitutional protection
against possible self-incrimina-
ton.

NEW YORK. Jan. 31.-Su-
preme Court Justice William o
Douglas said yesterday that po-
litical solution of the Chinese
problem ultimately would require
recognition Of Red China by the
United States and its admission
to the United Nations.
Judge Douglas at the same
time said he would not abandon
the Nationalist Chinese govern
ment on Formosa.
"The ultimate political settle

said. involves recognition Of two
Chinas and the grant Of seats in
the United Nations to both Of
them"

member of the U. N.
Justice Douglas made his re-
marks at a meeting of the New
York University School of Law

President Eisenhower's deci-
sion to defend Formosa against
Red China, he stated, is "the
only course which we could In
good conscience could tolerate.
He warned, however, that an
all-out war with Communist
China would be the most disas-
trous event that could befall us"
Yet, unless a peaceful solution
to the Formosa problem Is found.

that he believes q political settle

within reach"
Justice Douglas said continued

LONDON, Jan. 81. - Peipinl
radio said again today the New
Zealand proposal to discuss ..tht
situation of Taiwan tFormosa
In the United Nations Security
Council cannot be accepted By
the Chinese people"
The Chinese Communist broad.
cast quoted the Peiping Peoples
Daily as saying editorially:
"If New Zealand is really con-
cerned with far eastern peacs
and security, it should ask thu
United Nations to stop Unitee
States aggression and to demand
withdrawal Of United States
forces from Taiwan, instead oi
asking the United Nations tc
interfere with China's internal
affairs"
The Peiping newspaper claimed
the New Zealand proposal was
"untenable both legally and in
fact"
The newspaper described it as
lone of the steps in the trick
of a so-called cease-fire through
the United Nations which has
recently been plotted by the
United States and its followers. =
/ The broadcast said the New
Zealand proposal "aims at alien
ating China's territory so as to
create two Chinas' as an accom-
plished fact"
This will absolutely not be
allowed by the Chinese people, >
it continued. THE Chinese peo-
pie are exercising their own SOW
ereign rights in liberating all
China, including Taiwan and
this admits Of no foreign inter-
vention
''The supporters of the New
Zealand proposal are peddling
the line that the rights or wrongs
Of the Taiwan question should
be shelved for the time being
and that the cessation of mill
tary operations should take pri-
ority.
"The British government is an
advocate of such a line. The
British government knows OBJ
viously that the United States
comes from more than 5000
miles away to intervene in Chi
mas internal affairs, invade
China's territory and threaten
China's security"

Admiral Stump, meanwhile,
was flying back to his Pearl Har-

trip to Taipeh and an unheralded
conference with top American
commanders in Tokyo. While
here he told a news conference
that ANY time American forces
are attacked anywhere they will
defend themselves.
II came here to see that my
commanders have everything
they need If the job is ordered"
Admiral Stump said. I'VE have
a plan to assist in the evacua-
tion If it is ordered. 1t hasn't

AS the belief grew that orders
might come this week, the Eng
lish language China News said
all preparations for the rede-
ployment of Nationalist forces
on certain offshore islands had
been completed.

This apparently referred to
strengthening garrisons on such
islands as Quemoy and Matsu,
dominating the Red Chinese
ports of Annoy and Foochow.
The Defense Ministry said five
Communist twin-engine bombers,
escorted by eight jet fighters,
dropped fire bombs on Lower
Tachen Island yesterday and de-
stroyed many homes. National
ist fighter bombers attacked Red
shipping and islands to the north
and claimed one gunboat sunk.
