Martial Law In Taipei Puts Swift
End To Anti-American Rioting
By SPENCER MOOSA <
TAIPEI, Formosa, UP)—Martial
law backed by 33,000 Chinese
Nationalist soldiers enforced com
plete calm in Taipeh Saturday,
putting a swift end to anti-Amer
ican rioting that wrecked the U.S.
embassy and other centers.
As the tension eased, U.S. au
thorities relaxed their warnings
for Americans to stay out of sight.
Americans were advised they
could move out of doors again
without undue risk, but were told
to hold their excursions to a
minimum for the time being.
Smoldering resentment still
could be sensed and most Ameri
cans sat tight. U.S. military per
sonnel donned civilian garb when
venturing out.
Overcast skies and intermittent
downpours emphasized the dis
mal situation in Taipei and there
was little Saturday night gaiety
after night fell. There seemed to
be a feeling it would be a long
time before things were as they
used to be on this island.

hour meeting to discuss Friday’s
fierce outburst in which the U.S.
embassy consulate and informa
tion office were wrecked, more
than a dozen cars smashed and 13
Americans beaten or manhandled.
Resentment at the acquittal by
a U.S. court-martial of an Ameri
can soldier, M/Sgt. Robert R.
Reynolds of Colora, Md., on a
charge of voluntary manslaughter
triggered the rampage. The ser
| geant shot and killed a Chinese
laborer he charged with peeping
at his wife in her shower on
March 20. The sergeant said the
Chinese attempted to attack him.
At the height of the riot, from
20,000 to 30,000 rioters besieged
the central police station demand
ing the release of some students
who had been arrested in the dis
turbance. Police announced that
Chinese casualties were one riot
er killed and eight injured, two
seriously. Twenty - four police
were injured, two seriously.
Red China seized upon the
outbreak as rich grist for its
propaganda mill. It fitted Pei
ping’s standard line that the
Americans are “occupiers” of
Formosa and that they and
Chiang’s Nationalists are hated by
Formosans.

So, while his father, Richard

calmly boarded the plane.
The big craft had taxied down
the runway before the stewardess

the pilot, and the plane did an
about-face and returned Gene to

FWS Regulations
Governing Tlie
Hunting of Walrus
On June 26, 1956 Congress
amended the ’’Walrus Act” to
permit the taking of walrus by
non-natives and to permit the
export of hides and ivory out of
the territory.
The Fish and Wildlife Service
has issued new regulations to
provide for license and other pro
visions implementing the act. The
regulations provide that non
native residents must apply for
a special license and that the fee
for the license is $25. Non-resi
dent non-natives must also have
a special license, the fee for
which is $50. These licenses are
issued by the Fish and Wildlife
Service at Juneau.
Other regulations provide that
walrus can only be taken by
means of a rifle of over .30 cal
iber, and prohibit the use of air
planes as a means of hunting the
animals. Ivory and hides can be
exported after obtaining special
permits and tags. Non-natives are
required to employ a native
guide when hunting walrus.
