Rodfords Doubts Either Force
Can Invade Across Strait

mosa. Admiral Radford replied:
.They cannot do it at this
time. They just do not have the
military capability to carry out
an amphibious operation of the
scale required.
"I continue to be amazed at
the credulity of so many people
in accepting the theme of
Chinese Communist strength. 1t
is indeed an amazing paradox
that an offensive posture can
be maintained and initiative
achieved with no real substance
to back it up"
Admiral Radford said the
Russian navy has a "substan-
tial submarine force not
particularly" active in Far East
ern waters, and that the Com
munists have mammoth army
forces" and "air forces which
they are improving all the time. "

Admiral Radford said he thinks
Chang ground forces can repel

ForDisarmamentT Talk
With Major Powers
BY shs ksseeiated Pres,

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. Feb
21.-Henry Cabot Lodge. jr.
chief United States delegate to
the United Nations. flew to Lon
don yesterday to press for dis
armament in closed-door five-
power talks.
He said before leaving the
United States still seeks a
tamper-proof plan covering all
countries and all kinds Of arms
The talks begin next Friday
The United States. Britain
France, Russia and Canada are
taking part.
A similar conference dead
locked last year over Soviet re-
fusal to consider an American
plan for rigid controls on dis
armament by stages. But since
then the Russians appeared to
have lessened insistence on
banning all atom and hydrogen
weapons before considering re-
ductions of conventional arms
and armed forces. :
Cites Distrust Of Reds.
Mr.. Lodges statement issued
by the United States mission
here said the worst stumbling
block to disarmament has been
and still is the distrust which
the free world necessarily feels
for Communist imperialism"
He added: "This much is basic
Any real disarmament plan must
cover all the big countries and
all kinds of arms-includine
both nuclear weapons and other
weapons. A man killed by a
rifle shot is just as dead as ii
he had been killed by a bomb"
Mr.. Lodge said the closed-door
meetings, authorized by the U. N
General Assembly and by the
12-nation Disarmament Com
mission, will reduce temptation
to make propaganda. The United
States and its allies, he said,
Intend to insist on concrete,
factual, practical discussion"
Notes Call for Action.
"The people of the world will
not be satisfied with the shadow
of disarmament-they want and
deserve action" he continued.
Mr.. Lodge planned conferen-
ces with United States Ambassa-
dor Winthrop Aldrich and Brit
ish Minister of State Anthony
Nutting before the talks open.
Nutting will be the British rep
resentative at the sessions.
One United States source said
a meeting between Mr.. Lodge and
Soviet Ambassador Jacob Malik
before the talks begin was also
a possibility. Malik was the
Soviet delegate at the talks last
year and will be the aide this
year to Soviet Deputy Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko.

u. n. Accuses Reds
OF Building Up Their
MIG Force in Korea
BY the Associated Press

PANMUNJOM, Korea. Feb. 81.
The United Nations Command
today accused the Communists
of violating the Korean armistice
by building up Red MIG strength
in North Korea.
1t demanded that those re-
sponsible be punished.
Maj. Gen. Leslie D. Carter,
senior allied member of the
Korean Military Armistice Com
mission, made the charge. He
declared the MICS which attack
ed an American RB-45 jet re-
connaissance bomber over the
Yellow Sea on February 5 were
evidence of Red air activities in
North Korea since the armiStice
which "have mounted from zero
in increasing magnitude to a
high tempo"
At, a news conference after
the commission meeting, Gen.
Carter quoted the chief Com
munist delegate, North Korean
1t. Gen. Lee Sang Cho, as saying
the u N. charges we're "allega-
tioris hastily manufactured"

Gen. Carter quoted Gen. Lee:
THE history of the Korea war
proves the fact that we had COM
bat aircraft in, North Korea :.
How we maintain the planes and
how many we have is our own
business and no concern OF
Others"
Gen. Lee further told him,
Gen. Carter said, that a neutral
nations supervisory commission
team which visited North Korea
in october, 1858, a few months
after the armistice, witnessed a
large number of military air.

side of expanding army and air.

and of covering up the crime by
making false allegations" Gen.
Carter said.
Today's charge grew out of the
air battle on February 5 when
two MICS were shot down after
they attacked the RB-45 and its
escorting sabre jets.
Inspection Demanded.
Gen. Carter demanded that
three neutral nations mobile in
spection teams go to North
Korea to look for evidence of
the MICS and their armament.
He told Gen. Lee the identity

North American Newspaper Alliance
HONG KONG, July 27.-Fam-
inc has gripped wide areas of
China, concentrating in a South
China province, at the same time
that the Peiping government is
exporting rice to India and Cey-
lon in return for industrial goods.
Deaths from starvation have
become commonplace in the
Kwangtung PROVINCES Taishan
area, according to reliable re-
ports received here Taishan is
the home district of most Chi
nese living in the United States.
Because of its mountainous
terrain. Taishan, about 100 miles
northwest of Hong Kong. has
never produced enough rice to
feed its people. The residents
traditionally have lived with the
help of remittances from rela-
tlves in the United States and
elsewhere.
While the famine reaches the
crisis stage, it was simultan-
eously learned. the Communist
Chinese government is shipping
100000 tons of rice to India and
another 10000 to Ceylon. The
shipments have just begun from

economy campaigns are Ia full
swing in Manchuria. North
China, Central and East China.
Profit Motive Lacking
The failure of crops, apart
from the drought and foods, is
due to reluctance of farmers to
till the soil owing to heavy taxa
ton and big-scale requisition of
their produce at low prices by
Government agencies. AS a re-
suit. many rice fields have lain
ifallow. Production has, there
fore. been on a diminishing scale
since the so-called Agrarian re-
form was first inaugurated in
1883.
Under the reform" rich land
lords were divested of their
property which were divided
among the poor farmers who
lacked farming implements
seeds. cows and fertilizers. Since
then collective farming has been
introduced. The result has been
an unequal distribution of labor
and farming implements, while
the sharing Of the proceeds is in
equal portions.
Besides the rice exports tc
Ceylon and India, rice, fowl, fish
vegetables and fruits and canned
food are being shipped from
China into Hong Kong in large
quantities. Because Of the i'm
ports. local prices of rice have
decreased from SIS to $40 a picul
