UNITED NATIONS, N. Y
United Nations diplomats see the
crisis in the Formosa Straits as a
goth century version Of Won Clau-
sewitz' famous dictum that war
is continuation Of diplomacy by
other means.
They believe-perhaps wishfully,
certainly with fingers crossed
that both the United States and
Red China are engaged in . game
Of maneuver and counter-maneu-
yer preliminary to q process Of
negotiation.
That negotiation may be CEN
tered primarily in Warsaw, or it
may be transferred to the u. N.
1t conceivably could take place
simultaneously in both places.
In any event, military maneu-
vers, psychological pressures and
diplomacy are all expected to
come to focus around a bargain
ing table.
The interests and detectives Of
the two principal parties are per-
fectly clear, once the underbrush
of pride and propaganda Is swept
away.
The principal interests Of Red
China are:
To remove the threat to the
mainland - both political and
military-represented by Gener-
alissimo Chang Kai-shek.
To secure international recog-
milton, by the United States and
the U. N. as the government Of
China, thus destroying the Chang
symbol and inheriting the lucra-
tive allegiance of the overseas
Chinese.
If necessary as a means to the
other two ends, to extend its
physical domain by the addition
Of certain insular real estate

Reply to Khrushchev

Yesterday Mr.. Eisenhower re-
piled to a long letter he had re-
ceived last Monday from Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev. Mr..
Khrushchev demanded the inn

can forces from the Formosa area.
warning that any attack on Com
munist China would be considered
in Moscow as an attack on the
Soviet Union itself.
In a brief reply to Mr.. Khru-
shchev's 4,000-word letter, the
President rejected the Soviet lead
er's charges that the United States
was guilty Of military aggression
in the Far East. mo upside down
presentation such as contained in
your letter can change this fact"
wrote Mr.. Eisenhower, that
American forces are in the Far
East to help resist aggression, not
to commit aggression"
The note urged Mr.. Khrushchev
to advise the Chinese Communist
government to discontinue their
military operations and to turn to
policy of peaceful settlement Of
the Taiwan Formosa) dispute"
If Popping followed this course, the
President added, the United Sttaes
will, on its part, strive in that
spirit earnestly to the same end"
While the war Of words picked
up in volume and intensity, so did

successful landings Of the previous
week. Ships were hit and one de-
troyed by the fiercely heavy and
apparently highly accurate Com
munist bombardment; later con-
voys were forced to withdraw
without attempting a landing.
The daily transport plane has also
been a regular target. but so far
has escaped a hit.
The approximately $4,000 Ma

the other islands have been forced

official at Taipei, Formosan capt.

American forces than conveying.

States attack on the Communist
coastal batteries was necessary.

eral Judge John Miller, veteran
judge of numerous segregation
hearings, was cutting short court
schedules in other parts Of the
State to return to Little Rock.
Shortly after Gov. Faubus or
dered the four schools closed. a
suit was entered in a State court
in Little Rock seeking to enjoin
the Governors action and asking
that the school-cloSing law be de-
clared unconstitutional under Ar
ticle TX of the State Constitution
which provides for free public edu-
cation in the State.
Since the suit was filed by a
strong segregationist, it was sus-
pected by some that the move
might be an attempt to delay
early Federal court action. 1t was
reasoned that, while the suit was
pending in the State court, the
Federal courts might refrain from
action.
However, the attorney for the
plaintiff, the mother Of a 16-year-
old boy attending Central High
School, claimed that this was not
the case.
The widespread speculation over
what the Little Rock course now
will be included these possible
developments:
4 An injunction issued on
l.. September TO- 1857, at the
height of the violence in front Of
= Central High, prohibited Gov.
Faubus and certain officers of the
Arkansas National Guard from
interfering in any way with in
tegration at Central High is still
in effect. The question in the
minds Of many was: Does the
closing Of the schools by Gov.
Faubus constitute the enjoined
interference, thus placing the
Governor in contempt of court?
= The National Association
lie for the Advancement Of
Colored People might take the
not unreasonable view that closing
Of the schools denied to some
students the equal protection" Of
the laws guaranteed under the
Fourteenth Amendment lsee story
by Daniel w. Bermari on Page
A-2D. Since some children in
Arkansas are now attending
schools remaining open, it was
suggested that those in the closed
schools were being denied equal
protection.
= In a news story yesterday.
De The Star reported that, if
the Federal Government wished,
it might bring Arkansas to its
knees by applying an economic
Strengthened on the entire State.
These were reported as the
speculations of unidentified legal
experts. One method, it was
suggested, would be to withhold
Federal aid for education, high
ways, and health and welfare pro-
grams. Another method might be
the application of Reconstruction
statutes that would stop inter-
state commerce at the State line.
n And finally, if the State
fs persists in fiouting orders Of
the Federal courts, the United
States Army might again be used,
as it was in September of 1857.

Dulles Position

Secretary of State Dulles, facing
a grim and somewhat hostile press
conference on Tuesday. had been
hammered with questions on what
United States intentions really
were. Repeated reference to his
Newport statement Of September 4.
backed by an admission that it was
indeed himself who was the thigh
administration official" quoted in
news stories to the effect that
American intervention had already
been decided if the offShore is
lands of Quemoy and the Matsus
were to be assaulted by Commu-
mist China, did not pacify the
probing reporters. And prominent
in the questioning was the theme
why not let the American peo-
pie know what you plan to do?"
The Presidents Nationwide tele-
vision and radio speech of Thurs
day was response to that theme.
In carefully chosen words. Mr..
Eisenhower said slatly, There Is
not going to be any appeasement. !"
But at the same time, he added.
he did not think ~there is going to
be any war"
Citing the Peiping governments
repeated threats to take Quernoy,
the Matsus, and eventually For
mosa by force of arms. Mr.. Eisen-
hover left no doubt that he had.
already decided that the defense
of the offshore islands was essen
tial to the defense of FormoSa
itself, to which the United States
is committed under the Dulles
Chang Kai-shek treaty Of 1854
and the Formosa Resolution APP
proved by Congress in 1865
This course, obviously. could
mean immediate war with Com
munist China. But the President
offered a way out of the situation
without war. There Is q far bet
ter way than resort to force to
settle these differences" he said.
"and there is some hope that such
a better way may be followed.
That is the way of negotiation. i"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-09-14

In the face of these obstacles, it
is difficult for observers here to
see how anything more than an
improvised modUS UiUendi, at the
very most, can emerge from Sino-
American diplomatic contacts at
this time.
There are some signs, however,
that the Red Chinese would like
a broader negotiation-and If
they do indeed want it, then it
would become feasible. Red China
has it in her power to heal much
Of the residue of hatred for her
by freeing the four Americans still
in mainland jails.
Trend to Porley
One sign that Peiping may want
a full-scale negotiation is the fact
that, had her objective been sim
ply the offshore islands, she
scarcely would have begun by pro-
claiming her purpose to be the
acquisition Of Formosa-thus de-
liberately invoking the 1855 con-
greSsional resolution and virtu-
ally guaranteeing an American
role in the defense Of Quemoy and
Matsu.
Another sign that Peiping may
want full-scale negotiation is
that her propagandists have re-
vived the Korean issue-dragging
it into the current crisis for no
apparent reason in objective logic.
Still a third hint is in the fact
that Peiping has created the cur
rent crisis in a manner and at a
time when the domestic opponents
of negotiation in the United States
could be expected to be at maxi
mum disadvantage.
BY the time preliminary ma
neuvers have been held, the fall
elections in the United States will
be over, and new ones will not be
due for another two years. Polit-

No Details on Talks

The President did not detail his
hopes for negotiation, or chart
even generally what areas might
be negotiable. But he did point
out that already-e existing arrange
ments for informal talks between
ambassadors of the United States
and Communist China made the
way "open and prepared" for dis
cuSsions between the two nations.
Jacob Beam, American Ambas-
sador to Poland, on Tuesday notl-
fed the Embassy of the Peoples
Republic Of China that he stood
ready "at any time" to resume
informal talks with Wang Ping
nan, Peiping's Ambassador at
Warsaw. Talks originally began
in Geneva in 1855, between Mr..
Wang and Alexis Johnson. then
American Ambassador to Prague.
After 70 meetings. during which
agreements resulted in the release
Of many Americans held in China,
the conversations were suspended.
Last week end. in response to
public suggestions by both Pre-
mier Chou En-lai and Chairman
of the Chinese Communist Party
Mao Tze-tung, the White House
in special statement welcomed
the renewal Of the talks. At his
Tuesday press conference, Mr..
Dulles went vaguely further. He
suggested that renewed talks might
cover Gin a more specific way
rather than in abstract generali-
ties" the questions at issue, adding
that If progress were made "it
would certainly be a very con-
structive new element in the sit
uation which might have further
consequences"
Many reporters thought they
discerned in the Dulles remarks
on further consequences" an Of
fer to make concessions to Com
munist China in return for a Pei
ping pledge to renounce the use
of force in the Formosa Strait.
Previously, the Chinese Commu-
mist position has been to insist that
the matter of Formosa is an inter-
nal one not subject to interference
by a foreign power or by the
United Nations.

how modified, would appear to bar
even a moduS vipendi.
World reaction to the Presi-
dents mo appeaSement" address
was mixed. as was reaction In the
United States. Britain officially
praised the speech and the stand
against appeasement, but added
that mo commitment" had been
made to support the United States
in any armed intervention in the
Formosa area. Negotiations,
Whitehall said. were the obvious
way to settle the crisis.
The Republic Of Korea, the
Philippines, Nationalist China and
South Wet Nam hailed the Presi-
dents stand with enthusiasm. But
Western Europe generally seemed
more impressed with the appar-
emily increased danger Of war
rather than with the firmness Of
the Eisenhower announcement.

Ready for Inevitable

One observer close to the Vir-
ginia scene speculated that the
State might be taking this action
on its own and in its own courts
as a first step toward preparing
Virginians for the inevitable. This
was the reasoning:
If these massive resistance laws
are found illegal in the State
court. which they may we'll be.
when the appeals are taken to the
Federal court (by the State and
not the NAACP) and lost, then the
Governor can say to Virginians, in
effect: There is nothing elses-
can do: even our State courts Il
overturned our policy. There
no further avenue of relief"

probably more time than il

Hurdle in the Path

Both the President and Mr..
Dulles, however, have placed what
clearly could be an insurmountable
hurdle in the path Of successful
negotiations with Communist
China. The United States cannot
and would not, they warn, 'fbe a
party to any arrangements which
would prejudice rights of our ally,
the Republic Of China" Since
Chang Kai-shek must oppose Bit
terly any effective agreements be-
tween the United States and Com
munist China that might diminish
his claims to sovereignty over all

boosted employment by $500 work

cline of 200 jobs in the chemical
industry, while other manufactur-
ing groups showed generally stable
employment for the month. ,
The decline OF 100 in non-factory
employment in the month was due
to a drop of 500 jobs in contract
construction. Gains of 100 each in

not quite enough to Offset that loss.
