News of the World
At A Glance —
(Continued from Page One)
500 square-mile stronghold off
South China—reportedly made by
Chiang himself — gives the Reds
nearly half the remnants of Chi
ang’s once vast Nationalist China.
His reported order follows the
customary pattern set by Chiang
in the Civil War. His strategy on
the mainland was to pull out
rather than fight; to trade space
for time, until his space ran out.
The generalissimo’s order for
[“total evacuation” of the big is
J land has not been announced of
fically. The information came
1 from one of the generals charged
1 with Hainan’s defense. The com
j mander, who would not let his
! name be disclosed, accused Chi
: ang of political ambitions.
The order to abandon all Hai
i nan was received yesterday. Evac
: uation is due to begin today and
1 the Reds are expected to take over
before the week is out. Five Na
tionalist armies totaling some
125,000 men will be deserted to
the communists unless some last
minute way can be revised to get
them off Hainan.
In Washington, top U. S. offi
cials express the belief that the
Russians will try again next
month to drive the western pow
ers out of Berlin. They say this
expected effort, in the form of an
invasion of the city’s western
zones by a half-million German
communist youths, will be resist
ed, by gunfire, if necessary.
Preparations to resist the threat
ened putsch on May 27-29 are be
ing made by American, British
and French authorities.
In East Germany, Protestant
: Evangelical church pastors have
! defied the Red-dominated gov
| ernment by declaring that their
Christian followers arc sending up
“cries for help” against commun
ist pressure. The protest was read
during yesterday’s services in
Russian zone churches.
Foreign observers in Moscow
' say they are convinced the Rus
sians will step up their diplomat
ic drive to counter U. S. secretary
of state Dean Acheson’s recently
declared policy of "total diplo
macy.”
They believe the Russians in
tend to tackle every international
issue of interest to them or in
which they see the United States
trying to take the offensive.
Veteran diplomats in Moscow
say they have never seen as much
diplomatic activity as that in
which Russia is presently engag
ed.
The “total diplomacy” speech
which apparently has stirred all
this Russian activity, was key
noted by Acheson’s call to the
American people to join in a con
certed drive against Russia’s plans
for “world domination.”
Britain’s Labor government to
day ordered troops to unload ships
tied up in London port by a wild- j
cat docker’s strike denounced by
cabinet members as Red-inspired.
The government decision was
made after the walkout threaten
ed to halt operations in the sprawl
ing dockyards.
