TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 15. TOSS UN Suspends Efforts For Formosa Cease-Fire UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Feb. 14 (A))—Sharply rebuffed by Red China and Russia, the UN Security Council today suspended efforts to achieve a cease-fire in the Formosa Strait. It left the next move to secret diplomatic maneuvers here and in the capitals of the major powers. The Council - refused 10-1 to consider now as an urgent matter a Moscow plan to end the hos tilities by condemning alleged U.S. aggression. against China and ordering the withdrawal of Amer ican forces from Formosa. Henry Cabot Lodge' Jr., chief U.S. delegate, said the Council has not included its consideration of a proposal by Sir Leslie Knox Munro, New Zealand, for a cease fire in the troubled area. "Indeed," Lodge said in a state ment, "It has hardly begun to do so. In these circumstances we would have done the Council and the cause of peace an injustice if we were to allow discussion of the Soviet item to becloud the .issues of the urgent matter at hand." The Council formally invited Red China on Jan. 31 to send a represe.itative here for the dis cussion of the New Zealand pro posal. Peiping quickly turned this down with a blunt demand for the Council to discuss the Soviet item first and oust Nationalist Chia in favor of a Communist Chinese • delegation. Sir Pierson Dixon, Brit al n, whose government has taken the lead in consultations with Moscow for some arrangement to stop the fighting, said that the Red Chi nese rejection was not helpful. He suggested the Council adjourn while governments study the situ ation and consult.

Hear "Mr. Jazz" (Tomorrow) 7:30-9:30 p.m. Pineau Will Form New Government PARIS, Feb. 14 (A)—Christian Pineau, a 50-year-old Socialist deputy who amuses himself by writing fairy tales, agreed today to try to rescue France from her nine-day-old Chlainet crisis. President Rene Coty named him to form a new government. The fact that it will be a job is attested by the failure of two other members of the National Assembly who have tried for the premiership since Pierre Mendes- France's cabinet toppled Feb. 5. Members of the Socialist dele gation in parliament, meeting with the Socialist Executive Com mittee, solidly backed Pineau to night. They agreed to let him see what he could do in negotiations with other parties in the 627-seat assembly on the basis of a pro gram acceptable to the Socialists. The party approved a foreign policy based on ratification of the Paris accords for West German rearmament, already passed with simultaneous moves to set up a new Big Four conference. But the fact Pineau is a Social ist may make the sledding rough in his dealings with members of other parties. The Socialists were last ditch supporters of Mendes- France, a Radical moderate Social ist. They haye refused to join any Cabinet since the 1951 elec tion. A wartime resistance leader, lawyer and former bank clerk, Pineau is considered one of the more conservative members of his party. He is an advocate of European integration, favors ex tensive reforms in French North Africa and want:.• the withdrawal of French troops from Indochina. He wa: called on once before— in January 1952—t0 become pre mier, but gave up quickly. 16 Schwab Auditoriiim Temporary Halt Called to Search For Lost Plane ROME, Feb. 14 (A 3 )—An inten sive search by more than 1000 persons for a missing Belgian air liner was halted temporarily at dusk today.
