Kai-Shek Says U.S. Troops Will j
Never he Used to Defend Quemoy
By JAMES CARY
TAIPEI, Formosa, UPi — Presi
dent Chiang Kai-Shek said today
his Nationalist Air Force will
bomb the Communist guns ringing
Quemoy when and if the “crucial
moment arises.”
He said this moment would
come when the lives of the 130,
000 troops and civilians on the
outpost fortress are in danger
either from the effects of the
Communist artillery blockade or
other military action.
“When the crucial moment
arises, I feel the United States
will not fall back on its promises
to help,” he stated. “But the cru
cial moment has not yet arisen.”
“But we will act on our own
regardless of the U. S. attitude
when it comes to a question of
life and death,” he said.
H e emphasized Nationalist
China is under no obligations to
the United States that would pre
vent it from taking action it feels
necessary for its own defense.
Chiang spoke at his first open
news conference since Feb. 7, 1955.
Alert and smiling, he also made
these points:
Gen. Persons
Named to Succeed
Sherman Adams
WASHINGTON, UPl — President
Eisenhower Saturday appointed
retired Maj. Gen. Wilton Per
sons as his chief assistant to suc
ceed the resigned Sherman
Adams.
Persons, 62, has been serving
as deputy assistant to the Presi
! dent.
The White House said Eisen
hower also intends later to ap
point a deputy to Persons as an
immediate assistant. The title will
be chosen later.
Eisenhower also .named Bryce
N. Harlow as deputy assistant to
the President for Congressional
affairs, a new title. Hrrlow is
now a special assistant to Per
sons for Congressional affairs.
Rounding out the new White
House top command is the already
announced selection of Robert
Merriam, former assistant budget
director, as deputy assistant to the
President for interdepartmental
affairs.
Persons’ appointment came six
days after Adams announced he
would resign.
Persons, a native of Montgom
ery, Ala., has been deputy assist
ant to the President since Sept.
5, 1953, and has served directly
under Adams. Before that, he was
a special assistant to the Presi
dent.
