was: We Are All One; the text,
And if we be Christians, then
We are Abraham's seed, and
heirs according to the promise.
Galatians 1920
But the Scriptures hath con-
Guided all under sin; that the
promise by faith of Jesus Christ
might he given to them that
believe. but before faith came
we were kept under the law,
shut up unto the faith which
should afterwards be revealed.
Wherefore the law was our
schoolmaster to bring us unto
Christ that we might be justi-
fled by faith. But after that
faith is come we are no longer
under a schoolmaster. For ye
are all the children of God by
faith in Christ, for as many of
you as have been baptised unto
Christ there is neither Jew nor
Greek; there is neither bond nor
free; there is neither male nor
female, for we are all one in
Christ Jesus. And if We be
Christ's then are we Abraham's

New Outbursts of
Anti-U. S. Violence
BY SPENCER MOosA

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent
TAIPEI. Formosa, May 49,
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
held this Chinese Nationalist
capital under strict military rule
today in the wake Of violent
anti-American rioting which
wrecked the United States En-
bassy and injured Is Americans.
Taipei's half million people
were kept in tight check by

ing the streets. ready to put
down any new eruption. Authori-
ties sought mob leaders who
turned q protest against an un-
popular United States court
martial decision into an anti
United States rampage by 20, 900
to $4,000 Chinese and Formo-
sans. Some arrests already have
been made.
Tension eased gradually to-
day. without disturbances.
On the Chinese mainland. the
Communists launched propa-
ganda campaign calling the dis
orders proof that the people of
FormoSa oppose Gen. Chang s
alliance with the United States.
The riots fitted in handily with
Red China's line in recent
months that the Nationalist
should agree to peaceful annex
alton with the mainland.
Red Agitation Seen
After years Of ranting against
the United States It'll Fleet for
protecting Formosa from Com
munist invasion. Peiping has
been dropping hints lately it
would welcome negotiations with
Nationalist leaders for a "coali-
ton government" Gen. Chiang's
government repeatedly denied
stories that such negotiations
were under way.
Some quarters here expressed
belief that o-Communist ele-
ments. operating in the guise Of
patriots. had agitated the crowds
yesterday.
The Chang government has
formally apologized to the United
States and indicated it will pay
compensation for the damage to
American property. In the long
run. however, the United States
apparently will end up paying at
least indirectly for the damage.
The fact is that Formosa has q
deficit economy and United
States aid makes up the deficit.

island include advisers to the
Nationalist army.
