state Dean Acheson on the com
plex situation resulting from the
communist rout of Chinese nation
alist armies.
His report coincided with Can
ton dispatches which said the com
munists were throwing fresh
forces into drives toward the na
tionalist provisional capital. Na
tionalists fled Kanhsien, Kiangsi
province capital only 215 miles
from Canton.
Acheson went before a secret
session of the House foreign af
fairs committee to discuss his pro
gram for working *out a new ap
proach. His department in a
white paper last week wrote off
^ aid to Generalissimo Chiang Kai
Shek’s nationalists as a costly
failure.
A new policy planning group,
headed by Ambassador-at-Large
Philip C. Jessup, was reported al
most ready to start a broad sur
vey of the problems facing the U.
S. in China and elsewhere in the
Far East.
Acheson and his aides withheld
official comment on the appear
ance before Congress yesterday of
Elpidio Quirino, president of the
Philippines. The Island leader ap
pealed for -a least moral support
from the U. S. for a new Pacific
anti-communist pact proposed re
cently *by Quirino and Chiang.
Australian defense mini ster
John Dedmai> commented in Can
berra that Australia would wel
come creation of a Far East alli
ance similar to the Atlantic Pact.
Lt. Gen. James Van Fleet, chief
of the U. S. Military mission in
Greece, announced in Athens that
49 American navy dive bombers
•will be delivered in a few days to

News papers in communist-led
Czechoslovakia returned to bitter
attacks on the Vatican. Rude Pro
vo, Prague communist organ, said

Pope's recent decree excommuni
cating militant communists.
Albania said today she is being
invaded by Greece and that fight
ing is in progress along a 30-mile
front. A broadcast by the official
Tirana radio said bloody clashes
with Athens government troops
began four days ago.
It added that hundreds of
Greek soldiers have been killed or
taken prisoner.
A spokesman* for the Greek in
formative service in London said
“there is certainly no invasion.”
r He said the Albanian report prob
ably referred to the new offensive
launched by the Greek army
against the communist-led guerril
las. in the Grammos mountain area
not far from the Albanian border.
The Greek government has as
serted repeatedly that Albania is
used by the rebels as a haven
when hard pressed and as a jump
ing off place for fresh forays into
Greece.

Talk To “Doug”
WASHINGTON, (/P)—A group
of 10 Senators today “urgently re
quested” secretary of defense
Johnson to recall General Douglas
MacArthur from Japan.
Nine Republicans and one Dem
ocrat—Senator Byrd of Virginia—

the pending $1,450,000,000 foreign
arms aid bills deals with “a prob

Noting that the chiefs of staff
have visited European countries
but are not likely to have time to
go to the Far Pacific, the Senators
said they want the views of Mac
Arthur and Vice Adm. Oscar C.
Badger, naval commander in that
area, before voting on the arms
