Chinese Communists Believed Ready
To Invade Quemoy, Maybe Formosa
By J. M. ROBERTS JR.
Associated Press News Analyst
Representatives of Nationalist
China in the United States believe
the Chinese Communists intend to
invade Quemoy Island shortly.
They point out that the Red
propaganda campaign against For
mosa has reached a peak never
before attained. It is not only be
ing conducted by Peiping Radio,
which often directs itself more to
foreign than local consumption.
This time the campaign is being
carried on in newspapers all over
China.
This leads Chinese observers
here to' the conclusion that Pei
ping will not be able to back down
without action at this time, al
though its forces were repulsed at
Quemoy in 1949. This time it
seems the Reds, with the strength
they built up in connection with
the Korean War, will succeed un
less the United States air power is
thrown into the breach.
Whether that will be done eith
er has not been decided or has
been kept a secret. The decision
may still depend on the National
Security Council’s meeting yester
day with the President and Secre
tary Dulles, who is returning from
Manila, Formosa and Japan.
One suggestion has been that
Quemoy and Formosa could be
protected, at least to a certain
extent, by turning over American
planes to Nationalist pilots, as
Russia turned planes over to the
Chinese Reds in the Korean War.
The Nationalists now have a few
old Thunderjets, and a handful of
Sabres are on the way. They have
nothing like the force which
would be required. They think
they have enough pilots, some
trained in the United States, to'
handle a sufficient force. Ameri

j sian reservoir behind the Reds,
are inclined to question this.
One reason for the Red Chinese
agitation around Quemoy now
may be to test the determination
behind the posture taken by the
United States fleet between For
mosa and the mainland.
If American reaction is firm,
many observers believe there will
be no attack on Formosa even if
Quemoy falls.
The Reds, of course, know the
United States is under constant
pressure from Britain not to take
any chances of becoming em
1 broiled in another fight with Red
China. If they see any sign of fal
tering, they will be emboldened
to move.
At any rate the Reds are ex
pected to make a break, either a
limited one toward Quemoy or an
all-out one toward Quemoy and
Formosa, by October 1, the Chi
nese national holiday which is
akin to Independence Day in the
United States.

SLUCY LUCY
A Sluice-Box Ballad by Harold Salisbury
O, out midst the fogs of the tundra bogs
In the land of guts and gold,
Where winters are wild with snow drifts piled
And summers are short and cold,
Labor those that moil for the yellow spoil
And fight for nugget and dust
With sluice-box and shovel and tons of trouble
Digging stuff till their backs near bust!
And there in a gulch midst the tundra mulch,
A-making his stake the while,
Was Bozo Shane, -a giant from Maine
With a heart like a crocodile,
He was gruesome and mean as a slot-machine
And his ethics with slime were juicy
For his hired hand was a female who panned
His gold,- poor Slucy Lucy!
O, he worked this skirt for his foul pay-dirt
And she toiled with a sob and a sigh,
In fact she sluiced with tears for juice
From morn till the moon was high,
And while he cursed and his anger burst
She but answered with silence woozy
As she shovelled and sluiced, -mumbling “What’s the use?"
—Poor helpless Slucy Lucy!
He made her pick till her head was thick,
He made her dig and drill,
She worked his claim till her soul was lame
While his poke-bag slowly filled,
On Sunday, b’gosh,- she did the wash
And cooked all the meals and gruel
While he but snoozed and hit the booze,
Weighed his dust, and beat her cruel!
One day a-musin’ while doing the sluicin’
She came on a chunk of gold
As big as a rose,- which she hid in her clothes
Then got a temptation bold!
That night with an axe and a couple of whacks
She severed her bonds,- this floosie,
And now a cafe up in ole Skagway
Bears the name of Slucy Lucy!
O, out midst the fogs of the tundra bogs
In the land of guts and gold,
Where winters are wild with snow drifts piled
And summers are short and cold,
A caroass rots,- and forget-me-nots
Dispense on the scene,- so woozy,
A fragrance in vain for Bozo Shane
And a song for Slucy Lucy!
