U S Will Not Quit China Sea Despite Red China Warnings
Washington reports say the United States will keep its carriers and planes in the South China Sea as long as necessary despite Red China's warning to withdraw or face consequences. Officials cite the recent air battle in which American search planes shot down two attacking Red Chinese fighters and condemn Peiping’s claims of aggression. The State Department demanded punishment for those responsible for a fatal airliner attack and compensation to victims, while confirming the clash occurred in international waters near Hainan island.

Atomic Bill Moves Toward Final Senate Vote
The Senate debated the atomic bill with leaders including Jonson and Knowland facing extended tactics worthy of a filibuster. Provisions authorize the President to share limited nuclear data with allies, pursue a global A-pool, and require congressional approval for international atomic agreements. The bill also tightens security rules and expands AEC authority, while defining the AEC chairman as chief spokesman and preserving equal power for all five commissioners. A key amendment favors an Eisenhower directive for a Memphis area power facility contract, potentially staying in the bill, while a rival amendment to bar federal taxes on the utility could trigger new debate. Southern Democrats decried the contract, and Sen Humphrey warned the prolonged talk could hinder enactment. The measure would grant 40-year renewals for American-controlled atomic facilities under existing government-led control.
