Nationalists halt attacks on mainland in cease fire move
Nationalists in Formosa order their planes and warships to stop attacks on Communist mainland as a temporary cease fire is declared. The move follows talks between Chiang Kai-Shek and Gen Chou Enlai aides, with both sides pledging to resume warfare later if needed. The cease fire leaves Nationalist guerrillas on the mainland active in the south and east and reserves full ability to clash with U S forces if violated.
