Red China Charges
Poison Shell Firing
TAIPEI (IP)—Red China charged yesterday that troops
Jn Quemoy were firing poison gas shells. The charge brought
sharp denials from both the Nationalists and Americans,
A Nationalist government spokesman said the Reds ap
peared to be laying the propaganda groundwork for using
poison gas themselves.
A Peiping broadcast charged
that the United States supplied
the Nationalists with poison gas
shells a charge the American
command on Formosa labeled un
true.
The Communists claimed that
14 soldiers on the mainland were
"affected" by a Nationalist poison
gas shelling at 3 p m. Monday
when Nationalist gunners re
turned a Red 39,162-shell bom
bardment.
In Washington, the State De
partment called the Communist
charges "noxious lies" and sug
gested the Reds may be attempt
mg "to divert world attention
from the promiscuous killing of
civilians on Quemoy."
Nationalist China's chief mili
tary spokesman, Rear Adm. Liu
Hoh-tu, told newsmen: "We have
no such inhuman weapon on hand
and neither have the Americans
given us such a weapon. We have
no intention to use such weapons
in any future stage in the strug
gle of our own people."
Aguero Offers
Peace Proposal
HAVANA (/P)—Cuba's presi
dent-elect, Andres Rivero Aguero,
said yesterday he will try to bring
peace to Cuba by ending the long
and bloody rebellion led by Fidel
Castro.
But any peace overtures face
almost certain rejection. Castro
had declared in advance that
peace would mean only a contin-1
uation of the policies of President.
Fulgencio Batista.
Castro tried to thwart Mon
day's election by boycott andl
threats, and apparently succeeded!
'in scaring thousands away from
`the polls.
Rivera Aguero, a soft-spoken:
lawyer and long-time protege of
!Batista, is classified by Ameri
-11 cans here as a good friend of the
United States. He will take over
Batista's job Feb. 24.
Latest unofficial returns gave
t him a 5-1 lead over his nearest
opponent.
Army headquarters reported;
votes from 5032 out of 8521 pre-1
cincts showed Rivera Aguero
651,859; Carlos Marquez Sterling
136.674; former President 'Ramon
Grau San Martin 103,208; Alberta
Salas Amaro 38,024.
It looked as if about half the
2,870,000 voters shunned the polls.
The rebels, in boycotting the elec
tion, had warned that anyone
who voted ran the risk of being
shot.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1958
Red-Offered
Nuclear Ban
Reported
GENEVA (IP)—Russia was
reported to have advanced a
proposal yesterday for con
trolling a ban on nuclear tests
but a communique gave no
hint of a break in the deadlock
with the Western Powers.
Delegates representing the Unit
ed States, Britain and the Soviet
Union met for two hours—their
third meeting behind closed doors.
The communique said only that
Soviet Delegate Semyon Tsarap
kin spoke in support of a resolu
tion described as "an agreement
on cessation of tests of atomic
and hydrogen weap - ons." No de
tails were given.
There were reports the plan
dealt with some form of control
system, but the western powers
„regarded it as too vague.
The Russians want the three
atomic powers to ban tests before
!discussing controls; the western
powers are insisting that setting
up a policing system must come
first.
Air Force Launches
Rocket-Powered Vehicle
WASHINGTON - (A)— The Air
Force disclosed -yesterday it has
sent a rocket-powered test vehi
cle along a New Mexico research
track at a peak speed of 2853
miles an hour. That is about 4.3
times the speed of sound.
