‘Provocative Act,’
Says State Dept.
Of Red Flights
WASHINGTON, UPl — A State
Department spokesman asserted
Tuesday that Communist plane
flights over Quemoy constituted
a “provocative act” out of line
with the Red ceasefire.
Press Officer Lincoln White
said that therefore the antiair
craft fire by Chinese Nationalist
batteries against the Communist
aircraft Tuesday afternoon was
not in the slightest a break in
the ceasefire by the Nationalists.
White went out of his way at
a news conference to try to coun
ter Red complaints that the
United States had gone ahead
convoying Nationalist supply ves
sels to Quemoy since the cease
fire was instituted by the Reds.
Yet he would not say flatly
that all convoying had now ac
tually been halted. He implied it
had been or was about to be.
The Red Chinese complained
Monday that after the seven-day
suspension of Communist attacks
on the offshore island was an
nounced, a U. S. warship escort
of Nationalist supply craft had
operated as usual.
“I want to make it perfectly
clear,” White said, “that the first
convoy to Quemoy after the cease
fire announcement was well un
der way when the announcement
was made.”
The United States is expected
within a day or two to quit con
voying Nationalist Chinese sup
ply ships.
The order to the U. S.* 7th
Fleet is to be based on the ab
sence of Communist shelling —
not on the condition laid down
in Red China’s offer Sunday to
cease firing for one week pro
vided U. S. convoy operations
halted.
Officials , drew that fine line
of distinc'ion to emphasize two
points:
1. That Red China started
the trouble with six weeks of al
most continuous bombardment of
Quemoy, and could ease tensions
any time, without conditions,
simply by stopping the shooting.
2. That U. S. convoying has
been strictly in international wa
ters, and nobody tells the United
States what to do on the high
seas. .
Severe quakes in Chile razed
50.000 square miles and killed
30.000 persons in 1939.

Supreme Court
Justice Retiring
WASHINGTON, UPi — Justice
Harold H. Burton is retiring next
Monday after 13 years on the
Supreme Court — opening the
way for the court’s first Eisen
hower-appointed majority.
The White House announced the
70-year-old . jurist’s unexpected
request for retirement Monday
night a short time after the court
opened its regular fall term.
The announcement gave no in
dication of whom 'President Eis
enhower might name as a suc
cessor to Burton, or how soon he
might act.
Burton, a Republican, wrote
Eisenhower he was retiring with
regret but in accordance with
competent medical advice and
with a desire to serve the best in
terests of all concerned.”
Burton’s two-paragraph letter
didn’t elaborate.
Approving the request, Eisen
hower praised Burton for “de
voted and dedicated public
service.”
Eisenhower’s appointment of a
successor will be his fifth to the
nine-man court.
