At the Dulles press conference
that day some newsmen noted
that, as Mr.. McCardle left the

theory that. If everyone got the

Trusteeship
For Formosa

NEW YORK, April 6 (R.-
Senator Knowland, Republican.
of California said yesterday
there has been talk Of q United
Nations trusteeship for Formosa.
He spurned the idea as "ap-
peasement" of the Communists.
The Senate minority leader
said a trusteeship would mean
disarming half a million Chinese
Nationalist and make them feel
they were being ''liquidated."
Formosans, he said, would
view a trusteeship as nothing
more than multiple colonialism. "
What U. N. mouse" Senator
Knowland asked, sis going to
bell the Nationalist cat?"
Speaks in General Terms
The Californian was speaking
in general terms and it was not
clear from his remarks, made
at the weekly luncheon of the
Dutch Treat Club, if he knew OF
a move to set up q Formosa
trusteeship.
No nation has formally pro-
posed it, although the British
are believed to have given the
idea some consideration and the
Chinese on both sides are known
to view it with disfavor.
Senator Knowland. outspoken
supporter Of Nationalist Gem
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek. told
the luncheon guests, persons
prominent in the graphic arts
and crafts, that "appeasement
takes many FORMS"
Lists Two Forms
He listed the trusteeship as one
form, and said another would be
surrendering the offshore islands
of Quemoy and Matsu to the
Chinese Communists.
Senator Knowland said, Que
moy means as much to Free
China as Western Berlin does to
Free Germany"
He warned that peace at any
price" will boil down to a nib
bling" away of free lands by the
Communists.

tiers to accept query a few days
ago. He finally placed his ques-
tion-but he's still waiting for
an answer.
One big roadblock to the flow
of information is the fact that
the Air Force and Navy have
advised their officers that before
granting interviews to newsmen
they should get a commitment
that the resulting stories will
be cleared by the Wilson Office.
This restriction applies both to
stories in which the officer is
quoted by name and those in
which the interview is to be used
for background purposes.
Silent on Any Subject
AS a result, officers who here
tofore have been readily avail
able to the press are now fearful
OF commenting informally on
almost any subject.
Part of the background of the
Wilson orderswas the sale by the
commander Of the new atomic
submarine. Nautilus, of a maya
zine article on the revolutionary
vessel. Now the Navy has put a
blackout on news of even routine
operations of the Nautilus.
The Navy also told its COM
mands that until they receive
additional instructions existing
instructions concerning clear
ance of local material are to be
followed with special care"
Nine Hour Delay
The 4th Naval District head
quarters thereupon refused to
answer any questions about a
ship collision in the Atlantic,
referring all queries to the Pen
tagon. The information was
made available nine hours later
The snafu on release of in
formation comes at a time when
the services are studying another
Wilson suggestion" which
strikes closer to home-that they
cut their information stats up
to one-half and appoint civilian
directors to replace the admirals
and generals now heading their
information sections. One of
their problems in this connec-
ton is finding civilians who. can
qualify as experts on the De-
tense Department in general and
on the complex technology In
which each service abounds.

on the barcelona essential acti-
vities and personnel of every
Federal agency needed to carry
on the work Of Government in
time of war. The idea is that
these key workers-perhaps. 50.-

ployes now in the Washington
area-would carry on at the
emergency relocation Sites
designated for each agency.
3. Mr.. Flemming has urged
Congress to Join with the admin
istration in determining more
specific details of the role dis
persal should play in long-range
national policy. AS a first step.
he called for an immediate study
by the best brains in the Nation,
serving on a group patterned
after the Hoover Commission.
Reasons for Confusion
Generally, confusion and con-
siderable misunderstanding have
enveloped Federal dispersal
policies for years. There is good
reason why. Few, if any, policies
have generated more interest
with fewer facts laid on the line.
For example:
The administration a year ago
declared new Government build
ings, unless specifically excepted
should be built at dispersed loca-
tions. The ODM set dispersal
Standards as being at least 10
miles from the perimeter OF
major target areas.
Last August IL. Mr.. Flemmine
wrote a House committee that
there was no objection to new
Federal buildings in Washing
tons Southwest redevelopment
area. He said such new build
ings, however. should result in
reduced population density and
should not house activities "es-
sential in time of war"
Two months ago, Mr.. Flem-
ming told Senate Armed Serv-
ices subcommittee that Federal
agencies must gear new building
programs to advice given by the
Federal Government to critical
target areas"
Since then, Central Intelli-
gence Agency plans have been
disclosed for a $38 million center

Judgment" in applying the Sec
retary's order. The services re-
ply suavely that they have been
using their Judgment all along
and can only abide by the strict
letter of the directive until they
get some written interpretive
guidance.
"You can't expect our fellows
to put their careers on the line
by operating outside of this Or

their. judgment doesn't coincide
with the Defense Departments
and a showdown occurs, this di-
receive will be damned down

this attitude "resentful disgrun-
Element" They add. hopefully
that lit will pass in time"
Everybody--offlcers OF the serv-
ices and Mr.. Wilson's people
admits puzzlement over a re-
quirement in the Wilson direc-
tive that all information issued
must make a constructive con-
tribution to the primary mission"
of the Defense Department.
When one of the Secretary's
staff members was asked by The
Star just what this meant in
practice, he replied he wouldn't
attempt to say what was in Mr.
Wilson's mind"
Shuts OFF All News
The Constructive contribu-
ton" provision conceivably could
result in the withholding of all
information unfavorable to the
Defense Department. So far
however, the net result has been
an interruption Of the flow of all
information. not Just that which
is unfavorable.

It sometimes takes as long as

eddy interested in Southwest
Washington location.
Federal planners, District ON
Gals and others concerned with
Washington's future have been
beating their heads against the
wall trying to resolve what ap-
pear to be these sharp incon-
sistencies.
Frequent Question
The question they ask most
often is. 'In planning our city,
just what does the Federal Gov
eminent want us to do about
dispersal?"
Their guesses have followed a
pattern. One of the most COM
mon has been that the Govern
ment doesn't want any new
buildings near the city. Another
is that a new ODM policy is in
the mill to replace the old 10
mile dispersal standard.
The fact. under the new ODM
thinking. no such new and in
flexible policy will be issued.
The H-bomb's capacity to
wreak devastation makes such
q mileage yardstick highly i'm
practical on an across-the-
board basis. Also, the need for
various cities to spread out varies
sharply. So do cities ability to
spread out in terms of trans
portation. geography and the
impact on their economies.
It is to try to evaluate the new
problem, in terms of these fac
tors, that Mr.. Flemming wants
the study commission backed
jointly by Congress and the adj
minis:ration.
Guidance for Target Cities
Meanwhile, through the spe-
cial Commerce Department unit,
the ODM wants every target city
desiring guidance to get what
data the Federal Government
can give to assist future PLAN
ming on the basis of each city's
needs and physical layout.
A key value of this advice
will relate to the location or re-
location of industries.
Since Washington's major in
dustry is government, the value
of such data here may not be
as great as elsewhere. But
availability Of the data. for the
first time. will at least give
planners. developers and area
officials a clearer idea of where
they stand in mapping the
future area.
In his February % testimony
to the Senate, Mr. Flemming
emphasized--at least until the
commission he proposed comes
Up with some basic answers
that cities should use what data
the Government has to map
their own plans.
AS for Federal agencies, ODM
officials said, the purpose of the
requirement that new building
programs be cleared is not a

ings here. 1t is basically means
of making certain that ODM has
a chance to advise them.
No Agencies Pinpointed
ODM won't say which ACTIVE
ties are essential wartime func-
lions" which should be dispersed.
It is known that many, however,
are only small segments of big
departments. The peacetime
functions of such departments
can be housed in Southwest
Washington or anywhere else.
