His previous cheerful adj

those of George Bernard Shaw

Pearson an amused, amusing anc

better with a turbulent stomach
than those which are stuffieI

Pearson faces with unfiinching
fidelity to truth and his subject.

spotlighted figures.

TAIPEI. FoFmosa, May 7 Up
The United States will bolster
the Chinese Nationalist bastion
of Formosa with Matador guided
missiles capable Of carrying
Inuclear warheads. the United
States Embassy said today.
The announcement said the
United States and Nationalist
governments had agreed on the

It added that for months the

The Embassy said the Matadol
unit was being stationed on For.
mosa wholly for the defensive
purpose OF lettering and II nee
essary repelling an attack.
The Martin Matador. q me-
dium-range missile. has exceeded
$50 miles an hour. It has q
range Of several hundred miles.
Formosa will bring the Mata-
dor within striking distance Of
some Of Red China's biggest air
bases. notably the installation al
Lukiao. in Chekiang Province.
The announcement did not
say whether nuclear warheads
would be available Immediately
to the United States unit to be
stationed here. Neither did it say
how many Matadors would be
assigned to Formosa or whether
they would be Of the most ad-
vanced design.
The Matador technically is
designated the TM61. The
TM61C, now replacing earlier
models. is equipped with an i'm

a greater range than its pre-
deceSSor.
