Red China Sinks Nationalist Destroyer Escort | Naguib Ouster | With Torpedo Boats; Stronger Measures Seen By SPENCER MOOSA TAIPEH, Formosa ®™ — Red China used torpedo boats for the first time in battle yesterday io sink the 1,800ton Nationalist de. stroyer escort Taiping. This development in the long civil war was viewed generally by | the Nationalists as a stark warn.| ing of stronger Red measures to come, j The Taiping, formerly the USS Decker until transferred to the Na. tionalists in 1946, was attacked at 1:45 a.m. by four swift torpedo boats, which the Nationalists said were Russian-built. The destroyer, with 180 men aboard, was convoying a motorized junk from the Tachen Islands, 30 miles off the coast of Chekiang province and 215 miles north of Formosa, to nearby Yushan Is land. The first torpedo missed, but} a later one hit amidships, well be low the waterline, Chinese press reports said. The reports said she sank “with guns blazing,” six hours later.

He sent the treaty documents, | | signed in London and Paris, to the Senate with a letter saying they represented years of work ‘o| bring independence to Germany) and integration of that divided | country into the Western defense. The measures would restore sov- | may OI to West Germany, ending the U.S.-British-French occupation. Germany also would become a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and with Italy join the 1948 Brussels pact. These steps, Eisenhower told the Senate, could be accomplished un- der the agreements “in a manner which will insure freedom and equality for the people of Ger- many and at the same time will avoid the danger of a revival of German militarism.” Eisenhower, apparently aiming at Russia’s often expressed fears of a rearmed Germany declared: “The agreements endanger no nation. On the contrary. they rep- resent one of history's first great practicable experiments in the in- ternational control of armaments.’ Adding Germany and its re- sources to Western defense will be a principal consequence, Eisenhow- er said. But he said he wanted to emphasize that ‘these agreements are founded on the profound yearn- ing for peace which is shared by all the Atlantic peoples.” Eisenhower said while the secy- | rity agreements are complex “their | purposes are simple.” He added, “the Federal Republic (of West Germany) is placed on a basis of full equality with other states. “But,” Eisenhower said, “the | military strength of West Germany | will. be combined with that of the jother countries in the Atlantic community in such a way that reported: ‘‘Defense chiefs may seek permission to use the U.S testing ground at Eniwetok Atojl | in the Pacific.
