Release of Yalta Papers Sparks Senate Questioning
Secretary Dulles said Carl W. McCardle provided a galley proof of the Yalta papers to the New York Times on March 15 and that it did not breach security. He noted British objections to publication were withdrawn and U.S. relations with allies would not be harmed as the State Department had already indicated the wartime record would not be in the national interest. Reston of the New York Times discussed the matter with Dulles and McCardle, stressing the importance of making the record public.

Liberals urge Eisenhower to ease Formosa war threat
Forty seven well known Americans who call themselves liberals urged President Eisenhower to take immediate steps to extricate the United States and the world from the menace of war in the Formosa Strait. They said the U S will not commit forces to defend Matsu and Quemoy and will not permit them to become a cause of war. The telegram was announced by Americans for Democratic Action which tops 45 000 members and emphasizes liberal anti Communism. The signers include Mrs Franklin D Roosevelt Norman Thomas Elmer Davis India Edwards Reinhold Niebuhr John Haynes Holmes Lloyd K Garrison Benjamin V Cohen Zechariah Chafee Jr Amour Harris Arthur Schlesinger Jr and others. They urged U S pledges to help defend Formosa and the Pescadores against a Chinese Communist attack while noting islands are inseparable from the mainland and not essential for Formosa defense. The group urged seeking international cooperation through the U N to remove the danger of war over the Quemoy and Matsu Islands. The issue gained fresh attention after Dulles reported a big Red China air buildup opposite Formosa.
