Submarines Weigh In On China Talks And Evacuation Plan
Washington reports that at least two Communist submarines may be operating in the Formosa Strait as high level talks consider U.S. moves to aid evacuation of Nationalist troops from islands off the China coast. The plan, still contingent on Chiang Kai-shek and Senate approval, seeks to deter Red forces by warning of U.S. naval and air defense. In Formosa, Yikiangshan remains under Nationalist control as 721 guerillas are reported wiped out.

Iowa House Delegates Split On Toll Road Plans
Des Moines Linn county's two Iowa House delegates, Emil Novak and Ernest Kosek, moved in opposite directions on road policy. Novak proposed a pay as you go four lane east west freeway across Iowa financed partly by a small gas tax increase, while Kosek backed a toll road authority with a toll system. Nebraska-like split reflects debate over turning existing two lane highways into four lane corridors.

Carter Davidson executive director of the Chicago Conference on Foreign Relations urged the United States to recognize the Communist government of China as China’s official UN representative. He spoke to about 70 at the Cedar Rapids conference, arguing recognition would avoid war and reflect China’s reality while opposing endorsing its government. He warned the free world should maintain competitive coexistence with Communist nations, hoping to win nonaligned states to the U S side.
