Subatitute lll!IIQ!IRL,T-~. ~ ?-\s'f. President Eisenhower, tonight, did a vigoroua, effective, bit of electioneering, I thought. The speech forthrightly n~litical. Aa, naturally, it would be - since, in a foraal war : twas adddressed to a couple of aillion Republicans and campaign workers. Although, of course, othP-r ■ illions were listening in - and the President had thea very auch in aind.

This brou ht a flood of tele ph one calls to stations on - three radio-TV networks. Officials explained that the time had been urch a sed by the Republican National Committee. And according to F.C.C. rules, they couldn't let the rogram "run over.w Network spokesmen say:- it w a s unfortunate, but they were bound by governmen~ rules. FORMOSA From Washington - a statement that the U.S.govenuaent wants the Chinese b Nationalists to refrain from activitv ' that might bring about a major war in the Fr East. This information is attributed to high officials of the Eisenhower Adllini1tratton - who, howev9r, are cautious in diacu111ng the aubJect. Report hu been thihe Chiang Kat-shek Air Force - . . halted its ferocious b011b1ng of the Red mainland - on advice from American otf1c1als. Today, there was a bitter blast in a Nationalist newspaper on Pol'llosa. Denouncing thle Allerican attitude of caution. Saying, Nattonal1at China la being ■ade the v1ct111 of, what the newspaper calla - "the new American policy, which borders on 1ndec1s1on, timidity and refusal to face the facts." The Washington explanation la that the lat1ona11ata should 11.llltt themselves to the normal aeeds of defense. They shouldn't overdo t t . ~ should be "senetble." Administration circles are nfflcially silent, but FORMOS! - 2 there are indications that we've advised Chiang Kai-shek - to take it easy. The Formosa bombing of Red China might explode into a big war. This Far E a stern issue might also explode in our own political campaign - with Congressional elections c0111ng up. So no wonder the word troll Washington is - cautious. A little like - walking on egga. PRISONER One <£ the strangest of prisoner a tori es com$ from Tok.vo - about the soldier seized by the Reds, after the armistice. P rivate Charles Julius of Orlando, Florida - who was rele a Bed b the Co1111Unists on W ednesda y - along with L i eutenant Colonel Herbert P eter-a, a Marine Corps flyer. Private Julius relates how he made a "conteaaion" ot espionage, right after he was captured. Telling the Reda he ' was a spy. Doing this - voluntarily, without a threat or a promise. Private Julius 1a twenty years old. He had only a Sixth Grade education and served two jail aentenc••• before Jolnina the Aray. He "conteaaedf espionage because b # J ~ 1iiiltl I, ••••911\l:t t1N9 the Ccaaun1,ta would expect thta. Today he said: "I told them I caae to apy on their infantry and artillery positions. I knew they wouldn't believe I came untntentionall~." They threatened to shoot him - but that was because he said he didn't know the name of his commanding officer. PRISOKER - 2 Later on, he repudiated his "confession". That was when the Communists informed him wh•t L ieutenant Colonel Peters thought of him - the othe 7 pr1eoner. The Lieutenant Colonel, they said - "despised" him. Hearing that, the soldier had a change ot heart - and wrote the true story. Telling - how while straying out in the neutral zone, he stepped on a land mine and ••• 1nJured. He didn't want the Golonel to "despise" hill. C0111111nist propaganda broadcast the "conte11ion", but never mentioned the repudiation. Apparently, . they didn't 4!ard~ think auch ot the "conte11ion" to begin w1th~IJ11811ne what they really thought or Private Juliusl An.TW&J, they tlll'D8d bi.a loose - alona with the Lieutenant-Colonel.
