Blockade Is Big Success By Tuckman In Formosa Straits Crisis
Nationalist forces report another failed attempt to run the Communist blockade of Quemoy as Red shore batteries shell nearby islands. About 300 shells hit Quemoy and Little Quemoy Ehrtan and Titan, with U.S. warships staying 3 to 12 miles off to avoid direct engagement. Nationalist officials urge stronger American action to protect supply convoys and consider air drops or air assaults on Red positions.
