House, Senate Pass
Reciprocal Trade;
Fight Still Likely
WASHINGTON, (*— President
Eisenhower’s requested one-year
extension of the Reciprocal Trade
Agreements Law now has passed
both House and Senate, but a
fight still is likely before it reach
es his desk.
The Senate, in passing the
measure late yesterday, knocked
out of the bill a House provision
which would add a seventh mem
ber to the Tariff Commission so
as to give the Republicans a four
to-three edge.
This‘provision was put in orig
inally to persuade key Republi
cans on the House Ways and
Means Committee to let the meas
ure go to the floor.
They are not expected to look
kindly on the Senate’s • rejection
of the plan to boost the commis
sion size.
The Ways and Means Commit
tee has been embroiled in the bit
ter House fight over extension of
the Excess Profits Tax. This might
, contribute to a dispute on the
Tarriff Commission issue when
the Reciprocal Trade Bill goes to
a Senate-House conference to iron
out differences. Top-ranking mem
bers of the committee will serve
as House conferees. »

20.000 Nationalists
Reach Formosa
From Indochina
By SPENCER MOOSA
TAIPEH, Formosa, UP) — More
than 20,000 Chinese Nationalist
soldiers long interned in Indo
china have been shipped secretly
to Formosa, and the official Cen
tral News Agency said Tuesday
they were convoyed part of the
way by U. S. warships.
(Reports from Saigon said the
Chinese were moved in ships
without military escort. There
was no confirmation of the- Cen
tral News Agency report.)
The Chinese fled into' Indo
china when the Communists over
ran the mainland and have been
interned since early in 1949.
, The movement in Nationalist
ships began in May and was com
pleted on June 28.
Central News said French war
ships guarded the Nationalist
ships in Indochinese waters and
U. S. warships then took over.
The soldiers and their depen
dents had been held on an island
12 miles off the southwest coast
of Indochina.
Their arrival on Formosa was a
closely guarded secret. Central
News referred to them as “refu
gees” and said they were accom
modated in warehouses at receiv
ing points.
Repatriates included Nationalist
regulars, militiamen, students,
government employees and de
pendents.
(The Nationalists appeared to
be playing down the military
angle. A Saigon dispatch said the
movement actually involved about
30.000 Nationalist soldiers, that
they were in excellent condition,
and would be valuable additions
to the Nationalist army.)
