President Calls Aides
In Quemoy Tension
Red Chinese
Add to Force
Near Strait

TAIPEI, Formosa, Sept. s
(AP) Communist China is
moving faster and heavier naval
power toward the explosive
Formosa Strait area, the chief
military spokesman for Ma
tionalist China said today.
The reported buildup of Red
seapower is increasing the
threat to Nationalist-held off,
shore islands, Rear Admiral
Liu Hoh-tu said.
More Communist warships
could be used to intensity Red
efforts to cut of the Nationalist
supply route from Formosa to
the islands and would be
needed to cover any invasion
attempt against the islands.
Indications mounted on For
moSa, meanwhile, that the Ma
tionalists are preparing to
bomb the Communist main
land If the Reds begin massive
artillery or bombing attacks on
Quemoy.
Admiral Liu said in an inter-
view: Intelligence reports
trickling in indicate (the Com
munistS) are moving bigger
naval units in from the
northern area. Up to now
they've used only smaller-type
torpedo boats against us"
GunbOats Moved
The admiral said reports in
dictated the Reds were sending
south from the Shanghai,
Tsingtao and Yangtze River
areas gunboats resembling the
3OO-ton Kronstadt and the 800
ton Riga class warships of the
Soviet navy. The Red torpedo
boats now in the strait are less
than 100 tons, Admiral Liu
added.
With both sides in the vest
pocket war jockeying for posi-
ton, actual shooting had slack
ed of.
The Communists gave no in
dication of carrying out last
weeks threat of redoubled
bombardments. Up to mid
afternoon, the Nationalist De-
tense Ministry had no reports
of Smelling since yesterday,
which was the lightest day
since the Red Smelling of Que
moy started two weeks ago.
The indications of JUSTIN
case bombing preparations
came after a top United States
official in Washington said the
complex of new Communist
airfields near Quemoy would
be bombed almost Immediately
if used for assaults on the Ma
tionalist stronghold island close
to the mainland.
Nationalist Might Do Job
The United States authority
limited Nationalist planes would
do the job. But if the Reds
try to carry out reprisal raids
on Formosa or the Pescadores
the United States would bt
treaty hound to protect them
The official said only conven.
ltional weaponS-not nucleal
bombs-were involved in thu
possible bombings.
The United States threat
was matched by an unofhcia
one from Moscow. In thu
strongest Soviet denunciatior
of the West since the 1885,

And Weeks During
Busy Day Here
BY CECIL HOLLAND
Star stan Writer

President Eisenhower and At
torney General Rogers reviewed
the school indignation situation
at a White House conference
today.
The conference was held after
the President returned here
from his Newport vacation for
a full day Of activities.
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty said he ex-
pected neither the President
nor the Attorney General would
have any statement on the
meeting other than that they
had reviewed the integration
situation.
Mr.. Rogers remained at the
White House for lunch with
members Of the Presidents
staff.
Their conference on the inte-
grafton situation had signif1-
canoe in view of developments
expected next week involving
particularly the Little Rock
controversy.
Hearing Thursday
The Supreme Court has
scheduled a hearing Thursday
on the school indignation crisis
in Little Rock and the Govern
ment has been invited to sub
NIT a brief and participate in
the arguments on the issue.
In a recent hearing before
the court, the Justice Depart
ment urged the court to order
Indignation at Little Rocks
Central High School resumed
with the opening of the fall
term.
The Little Rock School Board
won a delay of "a years in In
tegrating the school by a deci-
sion Of Federal District Judge
Harry j. Lemley. The Eighth
Circuit Court Of Appeals over
ruled Judge Lemley, but granted
a stay which, unless overturned
by the Supreme Court, would
mean that the Little Rock
school could open with the
Negroes being denied attend
ance.
Opening Delayed
The school board has post
poned the opening of Central
High until September is which
allows time for the Supreme
Court to hand down a decision
on the overall issue.
During a busy day at the
White House, the President also
conferred with Secretary of
Labor Mitchell and Secretary
of Commerce Weeks on depart
mental and other matters.

Such legislation deserves more
consideration than speedy pass

he made his recall move after

Welfare Department Reduces Payments For Child Aid By 15 Per Cent

The Alaska Department of Pub lie Welfare has ordered an across the-board Is per cent reduction in payments under the aid to de pendent children program.
 The cut will affect 1,257 famil- ies, including 4,354 dependent children and adults. The reduc- tion is effective July 1.
 Henry Harmon, territorial well fare director, said the reduced payments were necessary to avoid a deficit of $80,617.48 in the pro- grams funds at the end of the present biennium in 1859.
 Such a deficit would occur, Harmon said, if payments were continued at the full authorized amount-$6O monthly for a mother and one child, and $30 monthly for each additional child.
 A similar IS per cent reduction in the authorized payments was applied at the start. of the last fiscal year, July l, 1857. Full payments were restored last Nov. 1, and have been in effect throughout he winter and spring.
 The largest portion of the aid goes to families in the Lower Kuskokwim and Yukon River areas, in the second and fourth divisions. Harmon said the aver age payments amount to $28.82 a month for each person receiving aid.
