WASHINGTON (P) — President Eisenhower is ex-

don Formosa or face "expulsion” by communist China.

spurned a presidential bid to use his influence with the
Chinese communists to end the present Far Eastern

Monroney, who sponsored the
bill, said it probably will be in-

predicted it will pass both the
senate and house by overwhelm-

time. He added that he believes
Mr. Eisenhower will sign the bill
when it is laid before him again.

-’ A 9-year-old girl was found
lying in the street Friday night,
burned, beaten, teeth knocked
out and her hair cut.
Police said a 14-year-old boy
Saturday confessed beating the
girl with a rock but denied
burning her. His name was not
announced since he is a juve-
nile.
The girl, Theresa McHugh,
was in serious condition at
Martland Medical Center. A
physician there said she either
had been set afire or held over
a roaring blaze.
She returned from school
Friday, finished her homework
and went out to play in a park.

TAIPEI, Formosa (UPD—Na-
tionalist Chinese gunboats sank al
communist torpedo boat Friday I
night in a 40-minute sea skirmish I
near the blockaded Quemoy is-1
lands, the defense ministry an-1
nounced Saturday.
The ministry said a direct hit!
by Nationalist guns set the Redl
craft on fire. The communique
added that one Nationalist boat!
was "slightly damaged" in the
fight, which involved two gun-1
boats and three torpedo boats.
The fighting started at 11:101
p.m., when the two forces "en-
countered" one another 13 miles I
southwest of Big Quemoy Island. I
Adm. Felt Arrives
A Chinese convoy braved Redl
gunfire Saturday to deliver sup-
plies to the beleaguered islands. I
The defense ministry said an un-
specified number of landing craft
reached the beach on Big Que-
moy and unloaded all their sup-
plies despite a barrage that start-
ed 20 minutes after their arrival.
The communique did not indi-
cate the quantity of cargo un-
loaded on the island, nor did it
say whether the landing craft
were escorted by U. S. destroyers.
Adm. Harry D. Felt, U. S. su-
preme commander in the Pacific
area, arrived from Saigon to take
a first-hand look at the Formosa
situation.
Situation 'Still Serious’
The admiral said the situation
here is still "very serious" de-

The question of getting sup-
plies through the communist
blockade of the Quemoys re-
mained a major problem for the
Nationalists. President Chiang

tected Pescadores Islands, south-
west of here, Friday to inspect
the area where convoys bound
for the Quemoys assemble.
The bombardment entered its

The union used similar strat-

reached an agreement with Ford
only six hours after the com-
pany's workers went on strike
throughout the nation when the
deadline passed without a settle- t
ment on Wednesday.
The board set a September 30 (
deadline for a strike at General
Motors, but left the date for a
Chrysler strike to the discretion
of the UAW bargaining team at 1
Chrysler.
UAW president Walter P. '
Reuther explained he hoped to ;
reach an agreement with Chrys-
ler without a strike deadline, al- 1
though the union was prepared '
to set one even before the GM
deadline expired if Chrysler ne-
gotiations bogged down.
He said he would enter the
Chrysler talks personally Satur-
day, but would quickly shift to
talks at General Motors if there
was no progress at Chrysler.
"If they (Chrysler) are pre-
pared to get down to brass
tacks, I will stay there," Reuther
said. "If not, I will go to GM.
The decision is up to Chrysler.
"If Chrysler gets down to busi-
neu and bargains seriously, an
agreement could be reached
there by Monday," he said. "We
feel the Chrysler contract is su-
perior to that of General Mo-
tors and it would be easier to
reach a quick agreement at
Chrysler."
Both companies have made
only two similar offers to the un-

all of the offers.

Neta is Reply
The Khrushchev letter, handed
to Richard Davis, ranking U. S.
diplomat now in Moscow, replied
to a letter from Eisenhower Sep-
tember 12.
In that letter Eisenhower told
Khrushchev that if he was really
interested in working for peace
he would use his influence to get
the Chinese Reds to stop aggres-
sive acts in the Formosa area.
The Reds have been bombard-
ing the Nationalist-held offshore
island of Quemoy since August
23. They also have been threaten-
ing broader military action aimed
at eventual capture of Formosa,
the Nationalist stronghold about
100 miles from the China main-
land.
Broadcast Made
The 13-page Khrushchev letter
was translated at the U. S. em-
bassy in Moscow before being

ter, Davis also received a note
from the Soviet foreign office ad-
vising that Russia would turn
over to U. S. authorities the
bodies of six Americans. These
bodies were found in the wreck-
age of a U. S. airforce C130 trans-
port which crashed on Russian
soil near the Turkish border on
September 2.
Denial is Issued
State department officials said
the new note gave no information
about the fate of 11 other airmen
who were aboard the plane. The
note denied that the aircraft was
intercepted by Soviet planes.
Officials said the United States
undoubtedly would send a new
note requesting information on
the 11 men unaccounted for and
renewing a demand for return
, of the plane.
