U S Considers Next Steps After China Spurns Talks
The United States said it will consult U N members to determine how to pursue a cease fire in Formosa after Red China refused to send envoys to discuss a New Zealand proposal at the U N. State Department spokesman Henry Suydam said the Security Council should map the next moves and criticized Peiping’s action as a diplomatic setback. Officials view the move as a possible Communist effort to press for talks on their own terms, potentially outside the U N framework.

Chou En Lai Rejects U N Invitation on Formosa Issue
The Chinese Communist premier Chou En lai rejected an invitation to discuss a Formosa cease fire at the United Nations and said he would come only to discuss U S forces withdrawal and the ousting of Nationalist China from the U N. Russia abstained and Nationalist China voted against the invitation. Dag Hammarskjold relayed the council resolution by cable and Chou sent a reply by letter. Predicts range from new U S tests on Quemoy and the Matsus to possible eleventh hour negotiations.
