.RedsAre Tough,
Pride Says, But
Can Be Handled

TAIPE1, Formosa. April 16 up.
"A dangerous situation exists
in the Formosa Strait area, but
the danger is frequently exag.
gerated, Vice Admiral Alfred M
Pride. commander of the It'll Fleet,
said today in an interview.
Admiral Pride considers the
recent completion of the airfields
at Luchiao. 220 miles north OF
Formosa. by the Chinese Com
munists three months ahead OF
schedule as a SOLDERING develop
ment.
Broader Potentialities
This field. on which Red Jets
now are within reach of For
mosa, to say nothing of the
Nationalist-held offshore islands;
gives the Reds much broader
capabilities in the Formosa
Strait. But it takes more than
an airfleld. he said.
To challenge the Nationalist
Chinese control of the air, Red
Jets must go out and fight--must
not only attack Chang Kali
shek's planes. navy and supply
ships. but must cut supplies to
advance Nationalist bases on the
offshore islands by bombing For
u1osan ports and airfields.

Soviet Press Silent
On Polio Vaccine Bid

MOSCOW, April is (R.-The
Soviet press and radio 20 far
have not mentioned the Salk
polio vaccine nor President Els
enhower's offer to supply infor-
nation and samples to all coun-
tries with which the United
States has diplomatic relations,
including the Soviet Union.
The American Embassy In
Moscow said it does not know
whether this distribution would
be made here by Ambassador
Charles E. Bohlen or through
the Soviet Embassy in Washing
ton.

These would be acts Of wal
which would bring heavy retalia-
ton, the Admiral said.
Luchiao and the much closer
field at Foochow. $50 miles across
the strait from Formosa, will
make the Nationalist supply
problem difficult for the Matsus
which blockade Foochow. but
Admiral Pride does not agree
with those who say it is impos-
sible. The Foochow field seems
to be finished but as yet has no
jets based on it.
Would he defend the Matsus?
Admiral Pride parried this in
evitable question with nc
comment"
Could he defend them?
I'VE have great capabilities. !"
he said. I'VE can do many jobs.
But remember we have to pay a
price and under some circum-
stances the price is higher than
under Others"

Anyone who wants to know
how to give a good party
should consult Mrs. Frank
Slingluff.
Saturday night she enter
tanned at a reception at the
Sulgrave Club in honor of her
son-in-law and daughter, Mr..
and Mrs. Franklin P. Holcomb.
Mrs. Slingluff had wanted
to give this party ever since
the Holcombs returned from
four years in Italy with the
State Department. That was
nearly a year ago. but for
various reasons she was un-
able to have it until this
spring.
According to the some $50
members of residential and
official society who attended,
it was certainly worth waiting
for. The invitation read from
half after five until eight
O'clock" but guests were still
there several hours later.
Guests chatted and nibbled
hors d'oeuvres in the drawing
rooms. A large buffet attracted
much attention in the dining
room, and in the ballroom
dancers twirled to the music Of
Sidney and his orchestra.
The hostess. in a pink lace
dress. received with her guests
of honor. Mrs. Holcomb, who
made her debut in Washington
at the Sulgrave, wore a sea-
foam green silk taffeta dress,
with a harem skirt, made for
her in Italy by Marcelino.
Mrs. Robert Carney was
there, beaming with delight be-
cause her handsome son, Ro-
bert, jr., and his wife are
home again after more than
three years in FormoSa. Mrs.
Carney's daughter, Mrs. Joseph
Taussig, was also present.
Mrs. Allan Dulles, a cousin of
Mr.. Holcomb, was there, as
were Admiral and Mrs. Vance
Chapline, Admiral and Mrs.
Edward j. Foy. Gen. and Mrs.
Richard Malcolm Kutts,
USMC (retired), Mrs. Free
