Knowland Urges Defense For Formosa By JACK BELL WASHINGTON (#— Sen. Know- land (R-Calif) \said today the United States “‘must not permit” Nationalist-held. islands off the a coast to fall to the Commu- nists, lest this open ‘the way for a Red assault on Formiosa. Knowland, the Senate Republi- can leader, spoke out \in an inter- view after the official Chinese Nationalist News Agency reported yesterday the Reds have moved a paratroop division into position for possible attack against Nationalist outposts off the coast. The Californian said he does not believe this country can brook any Communist advance into the Paci- fic. “We should continue to give log- istic support for Quemoy and the other islands,’ he said. ‘But if it should develop that the Commu- nists are mounting a major effort to move out into the Pacific and seize these outposts for an assault on Formosa, we must not permit them to fall. “Any movement of the Commu- nists out into —the Pacific would not be to the advantage of our in- terests. Theoretically, of course, the loss of the island of Quemoy and the Tachens would not neces- sarily be’a fatal blow to Formosa. “But the psychological advan- tage, the Communists would gain all over the world wauld be tre- mendous.” Knowland said he felt that if the Chinese Communists were aware this country would fight to defend the offshore islands they probably would not attack. President Eisenhower and Sec- retary of State Dulles, while mak- ing plain it is administration policy | to fight in Formosa’s defense if necessary, have not been clear on/ this point as regards the offshore | islands.

Key Federal Workers Set Up Mock Hdg. In Simulated Raid By STERLING F. GREEN WASHINGTON @& Nearly 2,000 key federal’ employes, in mock flight from an atomic raid on the capital, today “operated’’ the government from 30 emergency headquarters sites within. a 300 mile radius of Washington. President Eisenhower stayed on the job at the White House, but arranged to take part in the drill by communicating wi some of the emergency offices from an un- erground bomb shelter, All 10 Cabinet departments and, a score of other agencies were put- ting in a six-hour day at secret rendezvous points in at least four nearby states in a test of the “con- tinuity of government” under en- emy attack. ‘ ; All but one of the agencies— the exception was not named— have picked out emergency sites from which they will operate if and when orders arrive to evacuate, Washington. All but one have cached away important records, at or near the rendezvous site, in| a repository unlikely to be a target for enemy bombers. i The departments have been giv- en to understand that the reloca- tion, if once ordered, is for the duration of an emergeney. The sites are resort towns, col- leges, and communities which have unoccupied federal buildings in Maryland, Virginia, West Vir- ginia, and North Carolina and possibly elsewhere. All are within 80 miles to the west and north of Washington and 300 miles to the south. . In today’s test, each agency is called on to deal with specific problems which would arise under conditions of attack or threatened attack. It is assumed that some areas in addition te Washington have been hit by the enemy. The Office of Defense Mobilization, for in- stance, will have the problem of reassigning defense production to undamaged plants, The Post Of- fice will work on diverting mail from bombed-out areas to the cit- ies to which evacuees have fled; the Civil Srvice Commission will begin assembling data on employ- ees who are unhurt and are avail- able for assignment to war time duties; and so on. The operators of hotels and other accommodations near the secret sites have been given “letters of understanding” advising them that the government would take over, and ‘pay for use of their facilities, when the true émergency occurs. The present test involves no out- lay of that Kind, but each agency will pay for transportation of its own workers. % Transportation is by private and government yehicles. Car “‘pools” were planned in advance, identifi- cation cards issued and alerting procedures arranged. Those employes with some 200 or more miles to travel began Soviet Likely To Set Up Security Plan . By EDDY GILMORE LONDON (#)—Soviet Union has given strong indications re- cently she is planning to set up an East European security system in answer to the West’s North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It is believed that Marshais Georgi Zhukov, Vasily Sokolovsky and Konstantin Rokossovsky—all Soviet World War II heroes—are now working out details of the new alliance. They also are expected to play leading roles in the military organization. The Soviet Union and its satel- lites have signed mutual assist- ance treaties and trade accords. But as far as is known, Red East Europe kas no formal interlocking’ military alliance placing war re- sources under a single command. British officials say Moscow's current propaganda line is prac- tically spelling out the Kremlin's plans, which they believe will ma- terialize at a conference Nov. 29, In a note to European nations and the United States last. week, the Soviets suggested an interna- tional conférence on that date to discuss European security. Most Western Powers already have indicated they wi'l turn down the bid. The United States, Britain and France say they will not enter direct talks with the Soviets until the Paris agreements on the free- ing and rearming of West Germany have been ratified by the parlia- ments of the signatory nations. Soviet satellite states, however, are falling into line. To date, HOLLYWOOD # — Democratic members of the Florida House of Representatives hold their caucus here at noon today to -confirm ap- pointment of Ted David as speaker in the 1955 session, ‘The. confirmation ‘is a mere for- mality since David was chosen at the last meeting of the Legislature, as customary, and will be elected when the 1955 session convenes. Chief topic of discussion is ex- pected to be recommendations of the Legislative Council which held a meeting at the Hollywood Beach Hotel yesterday and called for a complete overhaul of the State Road Department. It also advocated putting highway construction on a need-priority basi§ and recommended a separate department of correction to super- | | vise all penal matters, including prison camps and the state prison at Raiford. SRB Recommendation The council recommended ap- pointment of a five-member State Road Board on a staggered term basis, with three members ap- pointed for one-year terms and two for three-year terms. It also recommended an execu- tive director at a salary of $15,000 a year, a certified engineer at $14,000 and adoption of a “suffi- cient rating” system for all high- way projects to insure that need was the top priority in assigning state funds for highway construc- tion. Also recommended was a revolv- ing fund to acquire rights-of-way for public roads and a merit sys- tem for State Road Department employes to insure job security. headed by Sen.

Atomic Talks Is Rejected By TOM HOGE UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. @— Rejecting an 11th hour Indian bid to widen talks on President Eisen- hower’s plan for a peaceful inter- national atomic program, Western sponsors pushed today for final aeceptance of the program. Some Western diplomats predict- ed the political committee would okay the plan unanimously, pos- sibly Monday. India’s V. K. Krishna Menon blocked committee attempts to reach a vote last night by de- manding an opportunity to speak Monday on the seven-nation reso- lution endorsing the program. The resolution has been virtually ‘as- sured of Soviet support Menon first caused a stir by suddenly tossing in an amendment to increase the circle of nations taking part in negotiations to set up an international atomic energy agency. U, S. Chief Delegate Henry Cab- ot Lodge Jr. quickly made plain the sponsors would agree to no such change which, he said, would open the door to nations outside the U.N, Menon has been dickering all week with other delegates in an effort to get backing for his propo- sal. He gained some satisfaction when Ecuador, Burma and Yugo- slavia advocated a widening of the circle of participants. But all three made clear they would not insist on the resolution being changed. Lodge said the sponsoring na- tions believed such proposals “would delay matters for such a long time as to jeopardize this whole project if not indeed destroy Throughout the atomic debate, Menon has complained that the seven-power. resolution placed the underdeveloped countries in the Position of being asked to rubber- stamp a ciosed-door agreement, Nations sponsoring the proposal are United States, Britain, France, Canada, Australia, Belgium and South Africa.
