Nationalist Sees Yank Statement ’lncredible’

WASHINGTON ('AP) -— Pres- ident Eisenhower Wednesday backed up State Secretary Dulles’ offer to Red China of a possible troop reduction on Quemoy. He did so in the face of protests by Ohiang Kai—shelf. l,“

Eisenhower was asked at his press conference about Dulles’ statement Tuesday that it was foolish for Chiang to build up large forces on the offshore is- lands and that it would not be wise to keep them there if a de- pendable cease-fine could be ar- ranged.

Eisenhower replied

,“I believe, as a soldier, that was not a good thing to do, to have all these troops there."

He voiced this opinion shortly after Chiang told The Associated Press at his Formosa headquart-

ers he found incredible the state-

ment Dulles made.

The Nationalist Chinese leader said they “were completely-vim compatible with our stan ” and with what Dulles had said before. Chiang said it was “inconceivable that he (Dulles) might now have new thoughts on the matter.”

INDISPESABIE SHIELD?

A Nationalist foreign ministry spokesman, Dr. Kiang Yi—send, followed up with a statement that “we cannot countenance a reduc- tion of this defienslve strength" on the coastal islands. The statement described the islands as an indis- pensable shieldto Formosa and added “For this reason'we must

I defend them to the best of our

ability.”

Eisenhower was asked if, like Dulles, he thought some demilitar- izaltion of the embattled islands might offer an eventual solution to the Formsazcrlsis, and whether some such new" bright-follow a

“Now, if you could. demiiitarlae or something else, I'm not so sure that is a final answer to which everybody agree, but Ido say, to do this thing peacefully and remembering the interests of each nation, its own self-respect, why, then I think possibly we could get somewhere."

Eisenhower was not asked about Dulles' comment that he does not think Chiang’s Nationalists could wrest the China mainland from the Communist “just by their own

suiam.” Dulles also said there was no U.S. commitment of any kind to help them back. Nor, he said; was it more than “hypothetical and problematioal” w h e t h e :- Chiang would be accepted as leader of any anti-(Communist reg- ime which might seize power.
