S. 7th fleet, with the added support of swift air force Sabrejets, is standing by in the Formosa area, awaiting orders to help the Nationalists evacuate some 30,000 troops qnd civilians from the Tachens, 200 miles to the north.The order to start the evacuation was reported held up because the Nationalists don’t want to abandon the Tachens before they have assurances the United States will help defend other island outposts off the Red mainland.Even if an agreement is reached in Washington, it does not necessarily mean the Tachen evacuation would get under way immediately.Other factors such as the possibility of a cease-fire, could bring about more delays,Peiping radio, heard in Toyko, gave no indication that the Chinese Reds would agree to a cease-fire, which they have opposed as bitterly as the Nationalists.Peiping said New Zealand's ceasefire proposal Ln the United Nations was “only one of the steps in the United States’ cease-fire trick” and declared it “contravenes the charter of the United Nations.The broadcast, quoting the official Peiping Peoples’ Daily, repeated its support for the Soviet demand that all U. S. armed forces be withdrawn from the Formosa area and the coastal islands be turned over to the Reds.Peiping also aired its oft-repeated threat to liberate Formosa and the Pescadores.RUBINSTEIN'Conllmicd from Pane One)sons high in Las Vegas, Nev., gambling circles.Asst.
