Danger Looms In Chinese Situation Formosa Strait May Be Spark By. JOHN M. HIGHTOWER Til could begin there at any time. The United States has decided to fight if the Reds try foreign country has so disrupted the United States internally, or caused so many difficulties with friendly nations, as the problem of Communist China. It has pro- duced many false starts in policy- making and has defied a conclu- sive solution. There still is no so- lution in sight today. Successive tions have to define the er: foresee the assurance of a final acceptable solution of the problem and this seems to be a source of difficulty for the United States in getting effective support and cooperation from its allies. ready has defensive arrangements with Korea, Japan and the Philip- it has warned Red China against the dangers of arousing American wrath by reckless’ adventuring at the cost of peace and security any- where in Asia. That, at least was by Dulles was trying to accom- by declaring early year the threat of massive soualiston if the Reds in China go to war again. ; The hold-the-line policy—which under the Truman administration | help would have been known as the containment policy—has its politi- cal and economic aspects. There are the aspects that currently are making most trouble between the United States and its allies. The problem of Red China’s political relations seems likely to become * a general assembly opening a week from now. Holding the line on the political side means denying re: to the Chinese Communists and, as far as possible, isolating them from the normal diplomatic contacts with other nations. This is becom- ing increasingly difficult. Britain recognized Red China in January, 1950, China’s had fled to Formosa, Many other nations have followed suit. Britain so far has avoided the logical con- sequence of its recognition policy— backing Red China to succeed Na- tionalist China in the United Na- tions—by a series of stalls. These were made possible bythe fact that until a year ago Red China was at war with the U. N. mem- bership in Korea, In the forthcoming assembly ses- sion, however, Russia will plead the case of Communist China, which—like the Soviet Union itself —has been making the motions of peace and dispensing good will on all sides—except toward the United States—for many months. ‘It will be harder for Dulles to hold the line against Red Chinese member- ship than it was for Secretary of State Acheson in former years. On the economic side, the United States and its allies are as divided as they are over the political issue of recognition and U. N. member- ship. American officials say the major purpose of the United States in the economic field is to deny China access to raw materials or goods which would build up the Chinese economy and strengthen the power of the Communist gov- ernment. To this end the United States wants to maintain its com- plete embargo, Britain, however, is loosening trade restrictions with the whole Communist bloc of nations. The pressures through Western Europe favor greater trade with the Reds everywhere. The American policy of economic isolation of Red China will be no more effective than the policy of diplomatic quarantine un- Jess means can be found to get the allied nations to cooperate. , Cooperation in the field of de- fense is less difficult but often comes ‘reluctantly from friendly governments. Secretary Dulles, in an urgent effort to strengthen the French position in Indochina be- fore last spring’s Geneva Peace Conference, ‘called for creation of a collective defense in Southeast Asia. But it took more ‘than three months’ for Britain to agree to form the united front. Mean- while British Foreign Minister Eden, along with French Premier Mendes-France, succeeded in end- ing the Indochina war by a com- promise which the United States deplored but accepted. The common grand strategy of the two great Communist powers, acute in the session of the U. N. Page 4 Russia and China, is designed to Archaeologists May Move Mountain To Study New Find CAIRO, Sept. 11 (—That fa- mous “solar boat” probably will cause a mountain to be moved. Its discovery in May raises some startling questions: What other secrets of ancient Egypt lie within the shadow of the Grand Pyramid? Are there other objects, buried in the same ground, which will throw some light on the strange and exotic people who lived there 5,000 years ago? To find the answers, Egyptolo- gists are seriously considering a vast program of re-excavation of the whole area, There is a certain amount of irony in this, The rocky Gizeh plateau near Cairo, where the boat was found, is one of the most worked-over archaeological sites in the’ world. For 75 years, Egyptologists have been prowling around the pyra- mids, and the sphinx, probing and sifting, burrowing into the’ myriad tombs of ‘the princes, nobles, scribes and generals, Yet, the “solar boat” was found smack in the middle of it, This is why there is taik of re- excavating Gizeh by moving a| whole hard-rock plateau. The cost | would be'fantastic. And there will | be a serious danger of heaping tons of sand and rock, as. they are removed, on other important ob- jects that may lie under the desert. Nevertheless, the Egyptologists hope to do it. First, however, they are itching to get close to the boat. It has not yet been examined at close range, The intensely hot Egyptian sum- mer normally suspends digging op- erations until the late fall. This year they will start early, prob- ably this month. Meanwhile, archaeologists im- Patiently wait and wonder— ~ Is it a. genuine “solar boat”? Or is it an ordinary river craft, one of several that rode down the Nile in the funeral procession of the great King Change nearly 50 centuries ago? the decks? A papyrus that will help fill in the story of one of his- tory’s mightiest monarchs? Figu- rines of the: ancient gods?’ House- hold articles? What to do with it now? Attempt the delicate, nerve-wracking task of lifting it from the rock cham- ber where it rests? Or build a glass “room” around it to control the temperature and at the same time make it visible to tourists? (The Egyptian government is not unaware of the immense tourist- pulling potentialities of the boat. It is only 20 minutes by taxi from the heart of Cairo.) In the complex theology of an- cient Egypt, the king was consid- ered a living god. After his death, his spirit was eligible to accom- pany Ra, the sun-god, through ‘the heavens and the 12 gates of dark- ness. The Egyptians imagined him Sailing through the sky in.a boat. Thus, some kind of craft—a solar boat—frequently merely: symbolic, was buried near or in his tomb. The one found in May is no mere symbol. Looking into the chamber, thing over 30 feet long and beauti- fully made. The planks in the deck are as smooth and closely fitted as a fine hardwood floor. Zaaki Iskander, chief chemist of the Egyptian Department of An- qituities, said the first task is to clear away the light dust and de- bris from the deck. He said he may do it with a fine stream of air. Then, he said, he will try to de- termine the condition of the wood and whether preservative chemi- cals can be applied. These find- ings, in‘turn, will determine wheth- er the boat can be taken out of its chamber. Next comes a breathless mo- ment—when the search begins for the objects,-if any, left in the boat. Conceivably, they could be im- mensely more important than the boat itself. Very little, comparatively, is you see a very real boat, some-|| . split the United States from its allies. Strong antagonisms between Red China and America would seem to serve this purpose better than a relaxation of tensions. The friendship shown by the Chinese Communists to the British at the Geneva Conference was not matched by any effort to display similar friendship to the American delegation. Many experts here speculate that in the long run—perhaps in 50 the Soviet Union. believe that this h outside nations inf substantially luence. And they do not believe that this provides a practical basis for making policies, however enticing it may be as speculation and hope for the future. Ambassador Patrick J. Hurley, who resigned with a sensational blast at diplomats whom he ac- cused of undermining U. S. policy, became the symbol of those who insisted: that the United States should play all its cards on Chiang Kai-Shek. B At the other extreme were some foreign service officers who argued that unless Chiang revolutionized his government with reform he would not be able to hold the peo- ple and the Communists would eventually take over, . They argued that the United States might better serve its own interest in those war years by try- ing to take over the Communists and eventually abandoning Chiang. most obvious limitation of States China policy today offers no precise means e the traditional purpose Inited States in the Far , American poli- med at the maintenance of China in friendly hands. Fifty jo Secretary of State John Hay laid down the doctrine of the “open door” in China. This apparently coincided with British interests but it also repre- sented American concern and in- terest in the area. Thirty odd years ago, in dealing with Japanese ex- pansion, Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes’ declared for China’s “territorial integrity.” A quarter century ago Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson ‘declared non- recognition of Japanese territorial conquests in China. United States policy in the Far East today will leave the Commu- ‘ists:im control of China indefinite- .

THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Saturday, September 1, 1954 Clearance For Civil Service Job Restored SACRAMENTO, Calif. Thomas Humenny has his civil service job back today and he says the 17 months his loyalty was in doubt were to him “‘just like com- bat during the war.” Humenny, chief of the control branch of the Mutual Assistance Project at McClellan Air Force Base, had his security clearance restored Thursday after losing it April 30, 1953, Eight months after it was can- celled he learned why. Six months ago he was suspended without pay pending a hearing: A McClellan spokesman said Humenny will re- ceive his back salary. Married and the father of five, Humenny was accused of member- ship in the International Workers Order in Cleveland from 1936 to 1949. The IWO is listed as subver- sive by the attorney general. Humenny said he learned why his loyalty was questioned when his immigrant father wrote that he took out a IWO insurance policy in his son’s name in 1936. The 17-month nightmare is over aow and Humenny described it yesterday as an ordeal “just like - combat during the war.” He was an infantryman in the 36th Division and spent part of his two years overseas in a German pris- oner of war camp.

Use Of Resources “Tt depends on what they do with the tremendous resources they have in their hands. They can either destroy the .world or build it to become a paradise on earth. “The hopes of our world are Need For Youth “Christ needs young lives to be prophets of God and ambassadors of peace.” In the Old Testament story, Jeremiah was called for a great task, even though he was only a boy, and when he objected, eall- ing God's attention to the fact that he was only a child, God answer- ed to him and said: “Say not I am a child for shall go to all that I thee, and whatsoever I thee, thou shalt to me, ‘Behold, I have put words in thy mouth’.” Young Courage Reverend Figueroa continued his explanation, saying, “God knows that young people dare to say ant do things that we mature people would think thrice before de loing. “So Christ needs young. emotion- al and daring young lives to re- build His Kingdom and He is go- ing to get the young people as soldiers of the Cross . “We hope and pray for a downpour of the Holy Ghost upon the youth of our generation so that they may be saved by Christ work to bring forth the Kingdom of God on Earth.” The average age of the people of Connecticut is 32.7 years.
