1960 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAG Chiang Kai-Shek Raps Kennedy For Views on Offshore Nixon Opens New Attack On Senator Challenges Position On Quemoy, Matsu LOS ANGELES (W--Vice-Presi- dent Richard M. Nixon yesterday renewed his attack on Sen. John F. Kennedy over Quemoy and Matsu. He observed that as long ago as 1955 the Democratic presiden- tial nominee was among a Senate minority that favored excluding the Nationalist Chinese islands from the Formosa defense line. The question of defending the islands, which lie between Formo- sa and the Red Chinese mainland, has become a leading campaign issue. Addresses Gathering Addressing a breakfast gather- ing at a Hollywood restaurant, Nixon said that five years ago 'my opponent was in the little band that said we'll draw a line" that leaves the islands out. He referred to a vote on a 1955 Senate amendment to a resolu- tion that gave President Dwight D. Eisenhower, in effect, carte blanche in conducting the defense of Formosa. The amendment, which would have excluded Quemoy and Matsu from the Nationalist Chinese line of defense, was defeated 70-12 and Kennedy was listed as paired for its passage, Questions Viewpoint "What happened?" Nixon asked. "Five years ago we were saying to the Chinese Communists that if an attack is made there you are taking a chance that we will do something about it." Nixon said that although the islands have been shelled, they remain in the hands of the Na- tionalists as free world outposts. Nixon drew a crowd of 7,500 at a rally of first-time voters at the University of Southern Califor- nia. Describes Parties Asked to explain the difference between the Republican and Dem- ocratic parties, he said that so far as their goals are concerned, there are no differences. In the course of answering the question, Nixon gave this defini- tion of where he stands: "I am a practical progressive." What does he think is his chief asset for the presidency? He said he preferred not to an- swer that directly but added: "I do know the world. I do know the dangers we face. I do know that America needs to grow, eco- nomically, militarily and spiritual- y" Nixon told the breakfast group that well intentioned people-and he Included Kennedy - "want peace so badly they'd do anything to get it, but they do the wrong things.' -A Wirephoto CALIFORNIA CAMPAIGN - Vice-President Richard M.

Deploring retirement of several top Korean military officers since the collapse of the Syngman Rhee regime in the April revolution, Gene Carter B. Magruder, com- mander of United Nations and United States forces in Korea, said "the most critical question that Korea now faces is how can she maintain the confidence of her al- lies and of her own people in her own armed forces." The Korean officers who quit left under pressure for a cleanup. Magruder said the strength of mil- itary forces rests primarily on commanders and commanders de- rive prestige primarily from suc- cess in war. As a result of retire- ments, he said, "relatively few (Korean war commanders) re- main.' Magruder said he would suggest this answer to his question: "This confidence, so critically needed for Korea's continued ex- istence, can be maintained only if dissension within the armed forces is completely replaced with disci- pline and with loyalty both from commanders for their subordinates and from subordinates for their commanders." He spoke at a farewell cere- mony for retiring Lt. Gen. Choi Young-Hi, chairman of the Ko- rean Joint Chiefs of Staff, who al- so held the post of the army chief of staff before Premier John M. Chang's government was establish- ed in August.

No Details Informants gave out no direct details about the contents of Mac- millan's message to his colleages. The Prime Minister is known, however, to have formed the im- pression in New York that Khrushchev is unlikely to take any drastic international action in advance of the projected East- West summit parley. Among other impressions Mac- millan is reported to have brought back from New York: Not Eager 1) Khrushchev is not eager for an early resumption of East-West disarmament negotiations. per- haps he wants first to see who wins the United States election.; Possibly he wants a prior summit meeting. Or he may be waiting for some startling new Soviet de- velopment. 2) Khrushchev overplayed his "tough" role before the United Nations assembly. Subsequent as- sembly votes showed he failed to otaions register any runaway propaganda victories among the uncommitted nations of Africa and Asia. 3) Khrushchev may be expected to pursue his vendetta against United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold. Chamber Asks Private Care FoRetired WASHINGTON (P)-The Unit- ed States Chamber of Commerce yesterday called on employers to furnish post-retirement health in- surance care for all employes to ward off "a compulsory system financed by higher social security taxes." The Chamber said it is adopt- ing this affirmative new policy be- cause the issue of providing medi- cal care for the aged through so- cial security is sure to come up again in Congress next year. "Successful private plans will provide the Chamber with the evi- dence it needs to combat the com- pulsory approach," the Chamber said, adding that it had helped defeat such a social security health plan in Congress this year.

Publication of a blistering 9,- 000-word indictment of Castro coincided with the defection of a' woman member of Cuba's UN del- egation who accused Castro of transforming her country into a terror-ridden police state. Delegate Explains Teresa Casuso, who holds the rank of ambassador and alternate representative to the UN for Cuba, described Castro as a "man of war" and said if free elections were held he would lose. Chief American delegate James J. Wadsworth circulated the in- dictment of Castro as an official UN document replying point-by- point to charges leveled by Cas- tro against the United States in his marathon Assembly speech of Sept. 26. The United States labeled Cas- tro's speech as a mixture of "un- founded accusations, half-truths, malicious innuendoes, and distor- tions of history-all aimed against the historic friendship between Cuba and the United States." Detailed Rebuttal Then, in detailed rebuttal, the United States singled out several Castro charges and presented hard-hitting replies, including:- That Castro and his leaders have ;launched a war of nerves with American authorities at Guantanamo Naval Base in order to provoke an incident. That Cuba is only making prop- aganda in charging the United States with opening its doors to "murderers and bloodthirsty crim- inals," for it has not once asked that these men be extradited. Denies Payment That Cuba has not paid for any lands seized by the Castro re- gime, in spite of international law. That there are ample grounds to believe that Castro deliberate- ly provoked American "economic aggression" in lowering Cuban su- gar quotas.
