TAIPEH, Formosa, Nov. 16 (f?)—An intensified vest pocket war
today seemed likely as the Nationalists pledged the severest blows
possible for the sinking of a destroyer escort by Red torpedo boats.
The pledge• was made in the Defense Ministry's communique.'
It confirmed that 28 of the 180 officers and men of the 1800-ton Tai
pint perished Sunday in the en
gagement off the Tachen Islands,
215 miles north of Formosa.
Nationalist warplanes flew cov-,
er while rescue ships picked up
survivors, but no Chinese Com
munist planes tried to interfere.
Of those rescued, 28 were wound
ed, nine seriously.
High level Nationalist officials
conferred for hours yesterday and
there were press reports that mo
mentous decisions had been made.
There was speculation that the
Nationalists would launch a mas
sive retaliation attack.
Both the press and unofficial
quarters were clatnoring for coun
terblows at the Communists. The
official Chung ,Hua Daily News
said Russia had given Red China
more than 40 torpedo boats and it
was assumed some of these had
been transferred to the Chu Shan
Islands, 100 miles north of the Ta
chen Islands.
The Nationalists insist the Com
munists are building up forces in•
the Chu Shans for an attack on
the Tachens.
The Defense Ministry's commu
nique gave an official account of
the sea battle. This was the Reds
first naval triumph in the coastal
war. They thus stripped from the
thin Nationalists Navy one of the
warships turned over the Chiang
Kai-shek by the United States.
Victory Seen
In Stagemate
With Russfiarts
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 (/P)-- ;
Senate Republican Leader Wil
liam Knowland of California told
the Senate today that "coexistence
and atomic stalemate" with Rus
sia "Will result in an ultimate
Communist victory."
He called for a congressional
review of United States foreign
policy. an idea which was prompt
ly endorsed by Democratic Lead
er Lyndon Johnson of Texas.
"I'm afraid today that we are
weaker than we should•be," John
son said.
Knowland did not concede their
point that the armed forces had
been weakened, but' he agreed
with the Democrats that this coun
must be able to negotiate with
the Russians "from a position of
strength."
He said emphatically that he
was not advocating that the Uni
ted States attack Russia to prevent
an atomic stalemate.
Russia is pushing the idea of
"peaceful coexistence" to gain
time to achieve the stalemate and
the nibbling away of more nations,
Knowland said.
He added that the Soviet target
date probably is betwetn 1957 and
1960.
The Senate GOP chief called for
congressional committees to sum
mon State and Defense depart
ment officials to inquire fully, into
present foreign and defense pol
icy and determine "whether this
clear and present danger which
appears to me to exist is such a
basic change in the direction of
our policy is warranted."

Year Wait
On Schools
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 (W)—
Attorneys for Negro parents told
the Supreme Court today they
would accept a slight delay in the
wiping out of racially segregated
public schools, but only until
next September, the start of the
next school year.
However, six Southern states
told the court an abrupt switch
would be dangerous and would
disrupt their educational systems.
The gravest concern was ex
pressed by North Carolina, which
said integragation of the races
might bring "bloody race riots."
A suggestion that the actual ra
cial integration of the schools be
handled by federal district courts
in the states was made by. Texas,
Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, the
school board of Clarendon Coun
ty, S.C., and the, attorneys for
Negro parents who are principals
in the segregation cases before the
high court.
The states urged that the lower
courts be given broad discretion
to direct the integration to meet
local conditions.

House he could not discuss furth
er his conversation with the Pres

West Urged to Ignore
Russian Demands—Eden
LONDON, Nov. 15 (R)—Foreign Secretary Sir Anthony Eden
urged the West today to ignore Russian overtures for a European
security conference until after a rearmed West Germany takes her
place in the Western defense lineup.
After that diplomatic goal' has been reached, Eden told the
House of Commons, the situation
of the Western Powers "would
notexclude the possibility of fur
ther discussions" with Russia.
The Foreign Secretary said the
West must not be thrown off its
course toward ratification of the
Paris accords by Moscow's propo
sal Saturday for a 24-nation con
ference Nov. 29 in Moscow or Pa
ris on "the creation of a system
of collective security in Europe."
Clement Attlee, leader of the La
borite opposition, agreed that rati
fication should go forward.
In Bonn, a similar view was ex
pressed by Chancellor Konrad Ad
enauer's Christian Democratic
party CDU. Describing the Soviet
bid as "nothing more than an
effort to disturb Western plans,"
the party said acceptance now
would be a decisive mistake.
"No one will reject such a con
ference if it is held at the proper

ment. "But without the necessary
preparations such a conference
could only lead to failure."
The West German Socialists,
however, criticized the Western
Powers for what they called a
lack of initiative and said: "The
Soviet Union is trying to maneu

only practical answer to the latest
