The White Ho se issued a state
ment warmly welcoming an offer
by Premier Chou En-lai to re
sume U.S.-Red China talks on
safeguarding thk peace.
The White House statement
said U.S. Ambassador Jacob
Beam "stands ready promptly
to meet" at Warsaw with Red
China's ambassador there.
Wang Ping-nan.
Thus, the United States sought
of respond softly to the first break
in the weeks-long Formosa crisis
which has threatened to engulf
the United States in war with
Red China, if not ultimately the
Soviet Union.
U.S.-Red China talks previous
ly had been held at Geneva in
neutral Switzerland.
But the White House statement
emphasized that the U.S. adheres
to its position that it will agree
to nothing in the talks which
would prejudice the rights of Na
tionalist China.
Officials hoped this would
not be a bar to resuming the
talks. Its main purpose was to
keep Nationalist President
Chiang Kai-shek from com
plaining that the meetings
might undercut his position.
Repeated also in Saturday's
statement was the U.S. attitude
regarding Red China's claims on
Formosa and the offshore islands
also held by Chiang. It said Red
China need not renounce these
claims in making any pledge.

Engle Hit
With New
Grid Worry
By LOU PFIATO
Collegian Sports Editor
An unexpected headache at
center and the absence of vet
eran ends have been the main
problems facing football coach
Rip Engle as he preps his
1958 gridders for the season's
opener at Nebraska a week from
Saturday.
Engle, who has been running
his team through two-a-day drills
at Beaver Field since Monday,
had figured his center position to
be one of the team's strongest off
the showing in Spring practice.
He had six centers in the
fold then led by Captain Steve
Garban and transfer student
Dick Wilson. The others—Dick
Dill, Wayne Berefield, Bo b
Vogelsong and Ed Romig—were
just a few steps behind. Engle
had been so confident over his
center situation that he switch
ed last year's starter. Charley
Ruslavage, to the left guard
slot.
But Wilson, Vogelsong and Ro
mig have not reported back to
school and Dill broke his leg at
Wednesday afternoon's practice
session. He's through for the year.
"We may have to shift Rus
lavage back to center this Year,"
Engle said, "but not on a full
time basis. He'll probably work
at guard too. If only Wilson had
come back. He was married over
the summer and is helping his
father-in-law with a farm in
Vermont. He has a nice setup
and probably won't come back."
Engle is presently using Bere
field behind Garban and newcom
er Jim Mclntyre in the third spot.
"Berefield's a little small, 'out
he's looking real good so far. If
he comes through it will help us
a lot."
Engle's other puzzle was
caused by the graduation of the
top fiire wingmen in 1957, in
