U S May Favor Representation For Red China
The United States may vote to invite Red China to attend a Far East cease-fire debate in the United Nations Security Council in New York with mixed feelings. Officials said such a move would not be opposed but could be used to influence public opinion and U N membership fights. Nonmembers can be invited to debate but have no vote.

Red China Submarines May Threaten U S Fleet
Navy officials believe Chinese Communist submarines, possibly German type U boats, acquired from Russia may menace U S forces guarding Formosa. Despite uncertain identity, headquarters say Seventh Fleet defenses could prevent serious damage while four carrier groups and Okinawa based air power should shield ships. Russian training of Chinese crews since 1952 supports the concern.

Russia ends state of war with Germany
The Soviet Union declared an end to the 13 year state of war with Germany and began peaceful relations with both East and West Germany. The presidium issued the decree and the news came at an unexpected Foreign Office briefing in Moscow. Moscow aims to establish normal relations with West Germany while recognizing only East Germany. The move is seen as a step to block Bonn ratification of the Paris accords allowing remarmament.
