Evacuation Swells as U S Seventh Fleet Reports Tachen Threat
U S Seventh Fleet commander Alfred M. Pride rushed from Hong Kong aboard the USS Helena with four destroyers as Nationalist China began evacuating 8,000 civilians and combatants from the threatened Tachen Island group. American carriers move toward the Formosa straits to support defense while reports say the outpost 208 miles north of Formosa will be defended to the last man. The Nationalist air force bombed and strafed the Red invasion fleet amid battlefield reports of sunk vessels, while Communist air power, sheltered near Shanghai, dominated over Tachen island.
