The Russians. in presenting a draft resolution Sunday for the UN SF('lll'liy Council. added a violent mark on what it called U.S. ag- gression against Red China.

The move came on the eve of a Security Council meeting, called by New Zealand and backed by the Western powers. to discuss a cease- fire for all die offshore China is- funds from the Tachen: down through Quemoy.

ACCUSI: U.l. INTERFERENCE . The Soviet press and radio have been accusing the United States of interfering with Red China's am bitlons by protecting the National- ist China government of President Chiang Kai-shek on Formosa.

Red China's latest comment-a Peiplng broadcast of a news dis-A patch-was that the moves here for n Formosa cease-fire were aimed at "a war of aggression against (Red) China under the United Nations flag."

The Chinese Communist-broad cast accused U.S. leaders of mak- ing warlike statements. So did Soboiev in the draft resolution he proposed the council adopt.

CLEAR UP POINT

The Soviet move apparently cleared up one point. however. It indicated strongly that the Soviet delegation would not challenge the right of the council to deal with a Chinese area cease-fire on the grounds it interfered with domes- tic sovereignty. Both Nationalist and Communist China claim that Formosa and the Pescadore. are Chinese territory.

The Western powers did not plan to frame a cease-fire resolu-

TAIPEH. Formosa (AP)-There is a strong feeling here that the United States is closer to war to- day than at any time since the Chinese Reds stormed across the Yalu river into Korea in 1950. The next few days will tell the story. The decision is squarely up to the same Chinese Communists. But this time American command- ers nre determined there shall be no "Yalu river sanctuary." That feeling is expressed throughout this tense but unpan- icked capital of Chiang Kai-Shek's Chinese Nationalists.

DON'T WANT WAR V

If the Reds want war. there is a good chance they can have it here. However, the United States is banking on the theory the Reds do not want war-at least now. Here is the reasoning on For- mosa:

The United States and the Na- tionalists will in a matter of a few days-as soon as formalities are cleared away--begin the evacua- tion of soldiers and civilians from the small Tachen islands, Nation- alist-held outposts 200 miles north of here. and only a few miles from the Red mainland.

The operation undoubtedly will be covered by planes and ships of the U. S. 7th fleet. If the Reds want to challenge the evacuation- and some observers here bet they will-they can throw swarms of Russian-type BiG leis against the American cover planes and ships. The Communist air force, .newly- built with Russian aid. is at its peak in the Tachens area. which is

MATTER. OF HOURS

if the Reds choose to fight there and full-scale American - Chinese Communist air battles ensue. it would probably be only a matter of hours before American planes were plastering Red air bases on the hitherto lnviolate Chinese mainland.

American commanders are tie- termined there will be no 'Yalu river sanctuary" beyond which American planes cannot go. ' ac- cording to highly placed sources.

The explosive situation will come to a head when the evacuation of the Tachens actually begins-pos- sibly next week.

If the crisis passes - and the Reds do not attack American planes and ships-the thinking in most high quarters is that the troubled Formosa situation will simmer down, at least for a few months.

The belief grew that the touchy operation of evacuating the 30,000 soldiers and civilians from the is- lands 200 miles north of Formosa might begin this week. But Stump said he had no orders so far.
