AUGUSTA, Ga, April Is. -
President Eisenhower sees grave
implications" in an intensified
Chinese Communist air power
build-up aimed at Formosa.
This was disclosed by Secre-
tary Dulles yesterday after q

President at his vacation head
quarters here on critical prob
lens around the world.
Mr.. Dulles said the Chinese
Red build-up of offensive air
power" opposite Formosa is
more intense and more broad
In its scope" then anything
known until a few days ago.
He added that this indicates
"a higher degree of capability"
on the part Of the Communists
to start an about attack on
Formosa or on the offshore is
lands of Quemoy and Matsu
than the President was aware
Of a few weeks ago.
On other subjects, Mr.. Dulles
told reporters:
/. Russia's latest move toward
completion Of an independence
treaty for Austria makes "a Big
Four conference seem at least
In prospect to be more desirable
than would be the case If the
Soviet rulers had wholly re-
Trained from any prior deeds"
1t is an encouraging" Develop
ment "if the full facts do not

2. Mr.. Eisenhower hopes the
Asian AFRICAN conference OPEN
ing in Banding win voice the
peaceful aspirations OF the peo-
Piles Of the world and thus exert
q practical influence for peace
where peace is now in grave
jeopardy"
8. There is mo reason for dis
couragement" about the "diffi-
cult" situation in South Wet
Nam, where the American -s,lp-
ported government Is struggling
to achieve national unity in the
face of opposition from various
armed sects. 1.-THE present prob.
lens are neither unexpected nor
insoluble."
No Speculation ON Aims
Mr.. Dulles did not speculate
about Communist intentions in
the Formosa area. He warned
only of increased Red capability
to wage war there.
His statements seemed to bear
out. in part at least, predictions
attributed to Admiral Robert B.
Carney. chief Of naval opera
tions. three weeks ago that the
Chinese Reds would be prepared
to attack Matsu about now and
Quemoy a month later.
Mr.. Eisenhower said at that
time that If anyone was pre-
dieting war would break out in
the Formosa area by mid-April
they had more information than
he did.
Mr.. Dulles said "our knowl-
edge" of the intensive Com
munist air-power buildup oppo-
site Formosa developed only
during the last few days. partly
due to the fact that we now are
getting more effective and
prompter reports from that area
as to what goes on"

Cleveland's game-catching expe-

Iwho did some of the catching
himself. "You ride along fast
until you can get the moose over

THE rope is tied to the truck.
Gradually you slow down to a

Into a flatbed box on another

to work like lightning to get the

you don't get out of there in a
hurry, the old bulls charge"
Mr.. Reynolds said most of the
animals were young, the ele-
plants being about five feet
high.
l. In catching the CRATES and
htelope-like oryxs, he said,
great care has to be taken not
to break their delicate legs.
Catching the cheetah, fastest

Is a matter of endurance.

General Assembly Gains

structurally, the United Nations changed In
ways the founding fathers probably did not foresee
at San Francisco. The Security Councl-ths "sxscu-
tive board" of II members, including the Big Five,
which sits the year round-declined In influence
markedly, mainly because of the Soviet Unions
increasing use of the veto to paralyze 1t. At the

Little substantive change in the United Nations
is expected II Charter Review conference is voted
by the 10th General Assembly this fall.
One area so far has emerged where changes
soon may be made. That is in the rules on member
ship. Only nine states have been admitted since
the 81 Charter members set up shop. The Soviet
Union, using % vetoes, has kept IA nations from
joining the United Nations
Since 1947 the United States has advocated the
elimination of the veto in membership questions.
u N. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, jr. repeated
the suggestion last May.
Any move to eliminate the veto on membership
questions no doubt will increase the pressure on
the United States to agree to let Red China-the
most populous country in the world-nto the U. N.
The State Department, however, considers the ban
on Red China to be special.
Peiping should not be admitted it is contended
because 1t does not qualify. Article Of the U. N
Charter specifies Membership in the United Ma
tons is open to all other peace-lovng states which
accept the obligations contained in the present
Charter and, in the Judgment of the organization
are able and willing to carry out those obligations"
It could be that Americas FIRST major defeat
in the U. N. will come over the question Of Red
Chinese membership. Many countries including
some of the United States principal allies, think
it would be better to get the worlds bad boys into
the o. N. where they can be subjected to the kind
Of moral pressure that has given the Soviet Union
so much trouble In the past.

Regional BIocs Emerge

Another diminution of U. N influence from the
EastWest split has been the evolution of regional
bocs like the North Atlantic Treay Organization,
the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization, the Or
ganization Of American States the Arab bloc, and,
more recently, the Soviet Unions defensive alliance
with its East European satellites.
The United States turned to regional defensive
alliances when the Soviet Union frustrated all ef-
forts to organize U. N. military force that could
punish aggressors.
Many consider this reliance on regional blocs
as "crcumvention" and major threat to the U. MS
future effectiveness
But when this country is confronted by re-
fusal to go to the U. Mas in the case of France
and the Indo-China problem-it Is forced to seek
peaceful solutions other levels. To do otherwise,
American policymakers believe, would be subordi-
mating the U. Ms purpose to its form.
It was on this "no-stone- -unturned" basis that
the United States and Britain prevailed upon italy
and Yugosavia to settle the Trieste dispute last
year, outside U. N. channels.

If 1t had not been the Soviet Union with its
so vetoes that caused the decline in United Nations
effectiveness during its first 10 years. some u N.
advocates now concede 1t might have been the
swift onrush of the atomic age, with its promise
Of quicke wars.
The U. MS decline, of course, is partly super
hcial The world naively expected far too much of
1t at its birth in San Francisco in June, 1945 It is
tribute to mankind's staying power that the U. NJ
was able to survive the disillusionment and still
make of itself useful instrument for peace-mak-
ing
But the development of nuclear war strategy,
which our military men now ten us would telescope
the decisive phases of large and medium-size wars
into few days or weeks, has outmoded much OF
the U. Ms war-prevention machinery
If there are any more wars, the U. N. will no
doubt play a role It is unlikely to fade out the
League of Nations did. But even If it manages to
meet within "a hours-and this is no certainty with
New York such priority target in any worldwide
hght-its debates can hardly have much effect on
the course of so short Even If the U. N some
how acquired military force of Its own, the po-
litical decision to use 1t would come too late
Regional defense groups like NATO and SEATO
-and the Kremlin's East European group-would
probably take over the function the U. N. Command
performed in Korea. Only If nuclear weapons were
not used would the U. N have time to get into the
action And the direction in which American and
British and Russian budgets are moving makes this
an outside chance.
The U. Ms role likely would be confined to the
considerable but hardly decisive task Of deciding
on which side justice lies and Of picking up the
pieces at the end.
In this sense the nuclear age has become a threat
to the u N But 1t has also provided opportunity.
For II the horrors Of modern war have finally
vinced the Soviet Union that war must be avoided
for some considerable time (as diplomats now sus-
pect) the U. N. can play leading part in solidify-
ing the peace. It's job would be to break down the
artificial barriers between East and West, to in
crease economic and cultural intercourse between
Communist and nom Communist worlds to the point
that the two sides could never untangle themselves
enough to fight
Here is the great hope of 1855 The series Of
high-level Big Four meetings getting under way in
San Francisco tomorrow may show the way II SO,
the U. N, host to the Big Four foreign ministers,
will have paved the way in the manner 1t has

The plan provided for calling the General Assembly
