TAIPEI, Sept. 5.-The Chi.

men whether United States
warships might be asked to es-
cort supply conveys to the
islands just of the Communist
mainland.
There have been persistent
rumorS that ships of the United

start escort duty to the offshore
islands.
Dispatch of United States
vessels to guard Quemoy-bound
conveys would send the ships
across Red China's new 12-
mile sea limit. The Peiping
government has indicated it
would regard such action an
invasion of its territory.

The Chinese Nationalist,

backed President Eisenhower's
official warning that United
States forces would help fight
for the offshore islands If he
felt they were vital to the de-

view. The Joint Chiefs of Stat
are reviewing the matter.
Need for Both Cited
In an interview with a high
ranking officer in a position tc
know, The Star asked whether
there was any question that
Mr.. McElroy was going to
choose one of the missiles over
the other.
There is a very real ques-
tion," he replied. Not long
ago Mr.. william M Holiday
Defense Department guided
missile directory took several
of his staff out to Colorado
Springs to discuss the situa-
ton with Gen. Earle Partridge,
head of the North American
Air Defense Command.
Gen. Partridge stated cate
gorically that he needs both
the Hercules and the Bomarc
for an adequate defense in
depth. He said that even with
both weapons we would only
have a marginal target kill
capacity"
The officer, who is not as
signed to either the Army or
the Air Force, said that it was
his understanding that Mr.. Hol-
aday and his aides were con-
WINGED by Gen. Partridge.
Missiles Compared
He explained that the first
version of the Bomarc, which is
not yet operational but is being
produced for test purposes, has
a range of 200 miles and that
the follow-on Bomarc will prob
ably be able to reach out 400
or more miles.
This, he added, will enable
our defenders to attack enemy
bomberS well out from their
targets and before they can
release decoy or battle-ground
atomic missiles.
On the other hand, the off,
Ger pointed out, Hercules al
ready is operational and is in
stalled in sites around four
large industrial population CEN
tiers - including the one the
Army unveiled yesterday at
Davidsonville, Md, in the
Washington Baltimore area.
The Hercules, which can fire
"a conventional or a nuclear
warhead. is much faster, has a
far greater altitude and is less
expensive than the Bomarc. It's
range, however, is only rs to
100 miles, less than half that
of the Air Force missile.
Built by Western Electric and

Soviet Warns
OF Retaliation
In Far East
U. S. Denunciution
Seen Leading Up
To Official Move

MOSCOW, Sept. s (AP).-
The Communist Party newspa-
per Pravda warned the United
States today that the Commu-
nistS would rain "retaliatory
blows" throughout the Far East
if the China coast is attacked.
The editorial in Pravda was
part of a press and radio cam
paign growing in violence since
Red Chinese first began Smelling
of -shore Quemoy on August %.
Letters Possible
1t is generally believed here
that denunciation of United
States "provocation" on For
mosa will lead to some form of
official Soviet action, such as
a broadside of letters to WASH
ington and other capitals or a
call to the United Nations.
Pravda warned grimly that
the Soviet Union and the entire
Communist bloc were behind
Red China and stood ready to
crush United States imperial
list aggression"
The Communist Party organ
did not spell out where the
Communists would take retail
atory action nor under what
circumstances a FormoSa flare
up would be generalized.
The Communists interpret
United States support of For
mosa as aggression" so that
the Soviet warning could en-
compass any spread of the
present artillery battle over
Quemoy.
Warnings In Papers
All the Soviet papers splashed
the similar warnings under far
ing headlines. Izvestia re-
called Red China's part in the
Korean War and said China's
"peace-loving policy" should
not be interpreted as a sign of
weakness.

PEELED its aggressors" in Korea.
