Lawmakers to investigate Formosan Riot
Washington lawmakers will question State and Defense officials about anti American riots stirred by Chinese mobs in Formosa. Zablocki said the House Foreign Affairs panel will determine if U S troops abroad are properly supervised and if steps are in place to prevent incidents. The raid on the Taipei embassy and U S I A building left several Americans injured and drew harsh rhetoric from Senate leaders. The Nationalist government apologized and U S authorities demand compensation and apology. The rioting followed a court martial acquittal for a U S Army sergeant who allegedly spied on him.
