To many of those who heard
the President during this re-
markable demonstration of per-

Chief Executive was weighing
duty and health in the balance

final grips with the problem
until he carried again the full
burden of the presidency and
received a final report from his
doctors on his recovery.
Standing Ovation

China Demands u. S.
Drop Fornosa Pledge
Price Set for
Pact Against
Use Of Force
BY JAMES E. ROPER

The United States declared
today that Communist China is
demanding that the United
States give up its pledge to de-
| fend Formosa as the price for
joining in a remuneration of the
use of force.
This the United States will not
do. the State Department said
in a 2,700-word statement re-
viewing five months of negotia-
tons with the Chinese Commu-
nists at Geneva.
The statement. a miniature
White Paper, replied to a Chinese
Communist statement Of last
Wednesday. The propaganda ex-
change broke much of the Sc
crecy surrounding the talks and
apparently made the outlook for
the conversations even gloomier
than before.
| United States Ambassador q.
Alexis johnson and Chinese
Communist Ambassador Wang
Ping-nan, however, are sched-
uled to resume their Geneva
talks Wednesday. Further de-
velopments may depend some
what on world reaction to the
respective positions now made
public by the United States and
Red China.
Pledge Against Force
| When the conversations began
last August. the United States
wanted the quick release of 10
american civilians then held in
Red China and a Chinese Com
munist promise not to use force
against the Formosa area, which
the United States has pledged
to defend under a mutual secur-
ity agreement with the Chinese
Nationalist government of Cen
IerallSsmo Chang Kai-shek.
| The Communists wanted For
mosa, the end of the American
trade embargo against Com
lmunist China and a face-to-
face meeting between Chinese
Communist Foreign Minister
Chou En-lai and Secretary Of
State Dulles.
The first step was an agree
ment that the Chinese Com
munists would allow the 10
Americans "expeditiously" to ex-
ercise their right to return to
the United States. So far. how
ever. only six of the 10 have been
allowed to leave.
Called an Internal Matter
The next big step in the
Geneva negotiations, the State
Department related, was debate
lon the American demand that
Red China give up the threat of
the use of force against Formosa.
Red China did declare it would
not use force in international
disputes, but has insisted that
the Red rivalry with Chang is
an internal matter.
Chinese Communists thus have
refused to drop their threat
against United States forces
which are pledged to defend the
areas In the absence of such a
development, the United States
has refused to discuss the trade
embargo or possible foreign
ministers meeting.
Communist China contends
that the real international dis
quite in the Formosa area is the
presence of American forces
there.
In its statement today, the
United States declared that it
originally proposed renuncia-
ton OF the use of force in the
Formosa area-without prejudice
to the right of individual and
collective self-defense-"in or
der that the discussions might
take place free from the threat
of war"
2 Points Stressed

Problem of Mines
Some officers of the newest

operation. One lieutenant colonel
insisted the Israelis must clear
all mines from Sinai as they had
laid them. The standard United

however, when confronted with
possible mine fields has been to
