He said the United States would decide if off shore islands are essential to Formosa defense, and he did not intend to imply a firm commitment.

Shift In Makeup Of Soviet Supreme Court
Moscow radio reported a restructuring of the Soviet Supreme Court with six judges removed and seven new appointees. The changes followed leadership shifts in Moscow, including Bulganin becoming premier, and included V. V. Borisoglebsky, who helped condemn former minister Victor Abakumov in a high profile case. Observers note no clear link to the government shakeup, while specialists suggest the Abakumov trial may reflect moves against Malenkov.
