Plan to Make Offshore Islands No Man's Land
United Nations reports indicate India’s V. K. Krishna Menon has proposed making the offshore islands of Quemoy and Matsu a no man’s land during Formosa negotiations. Chinese Nationalists would withdraw armed forces, while Red China would refrain from landings. U N deliberations continue with a possible East-West mediation role for Dag Hammarskjold. The plan arises as U S Red China talks resume in Warsaw with Western allies urging cease-fire and a neutral good offices commission. Radio Peiping dismissed a cease-fire as an internal question with no U S voice.
