Austin Prepares Slashing Attack On Red Charges
LAKE SUCCESS AP The United States plans a sharp counter offensive against Chinese Communist charges of American aggression in Formosa. U S Delegate Warren A Austin has prepared ninety questions for Communist spokesman Wu Hai Chuan at his first Security Council appearance this afternoon. The questions probe Red China’s entry into the Korean War as Austin seeks Peiping troops out of Korea. Wu will likely demand U S forces withdraw from Korea and Seventh Fleet leave Formosa waters. Other details were scheduled for the council debate later today as Malik and other Russians back Wu’s charges. Reports said Malik may delay his speech to avoid diverting attention from Wu’s remarks.
