Nat1ona.11et withdrawal trom the Quemoy and Matsu Islands. In return for this concession, the C h iang Kai Chek regime would be given even broader guarantees for the defen s e of Formosa. The U n lted Nations, perhaps - Joining in this. All this t ollowe the eparture ot Admiral Radford, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Assistants creta. y of State Walter Robertson. On their way - to alk things over w1 . the Chiang Kai Chek people. At the White House, pre ldentia.l secretary Jim Hagerty was · eked about the Radford-Robertson trip, 1n conneciion with rumors of a. p lan for cease fire. Be repli ed -- no com ent. YlSENHO,iER--rOR OSA - a Senator Geor e of Geor 1a, Chair an of the Senate Foreign Relations committee says he doesn't - think the purpose of the lt trip concerns a poealble armistice. He thinks Radford and Robertson are on t e1r way toge~ a report on the scene - concerning a build-up of Red power on the mainland, across rom ~or osa. But enator Geor e added ..

BANDUNG CEYLON At the Bandung Conference, Ceylon has presented a proposal, su g e s tin a trusteeship for Formosa. The d elegate! om Ceylon, Sir John Kotelawal, addressed the m eeting of th Asian-African countries, and surprised t mall - by off e ring a plan, where b y For mo sa would be put under the control of the UN or possibly, the trusteeship might be iven to five Asian powers, Ceylon, India, Pakistan, Burma and lndo es1a. This arrangement - to last until some time, when elections could be held on rormosa. Looking, possibly, toward an 1ndepend nt rormosa. This ould call for a withdrawal of the Am e rican Seventh Fle t from waters off the China coast. It o uld also mean - the abolition of the regime of Chiang Kai Chek . Finally, the off shore i lands, Quemoy and Matsu, would be han d ed over to the Chines Reds. This proposal, off e red by Ceylon, is not getting an enthusiastic welcome at the Bandung Conference. Most c f the del gates a re taking an BANDUNG CEYLON - a attitude o f r eserve. India - sarca tic abou t the hole 1dea.

TIBtT La.a~night I mentioned that toni,g t, for / the many who are inter e sted in the fate of Tibet, ; yti ope~ /t o have a lit~l:e 1nfo:ema.tion, ..,. a:nd I ha~ When Lowell Jr. and I made our journey to Lhasa, a few years ago, we found there a f,eUll'I- Scot from St. Andrew's, representing the Government of India. And training one of Nehru's men to take over. His name ie Hugh Richardaoft. And I suppose he k•■- knowa more about a large part of central A ■ ia than any other westerner. At the end of hie period of 1erv1oe with the Indian 1overnment, I urge4- our then S e cretary I I r \ \ l ( of State, 1 to ~ure ht ■ over here, ao we might haTe the benefit of hi ■ unique experience &nd knowledge. · l. ~l - , ~ , , 1 "l •• · 4 Nothing happened. So, !=p al it ap 1 to the Pre ■ ident1 , I of several American un1vera1t1ea; and that impre1 ■ 1ve Californian, Dr. Robert Sproul, head of the 1arge1t of all unlvere1t1ea, ••• ti n , :,eta -r, W invited hl ■ to spend ■ ome time on the f aculty at B ~ rkeley. TIBIT - 2 He oa m e to this coun t ry by way of the rar East, and t h rough ■uaua channels that only he would know, he found out some of the things that all Tibetan enthusiasts would like to k n ow. ror instance, have the C h inese Reds actually bullt roads into that myeterioua land where ther e wer e no roads! And no wheeled traffic! The answer ts, yee theJ b ve, several roads from the north. And, sad to relate (I think it's aad) they now have several hundred automobiles buzstng about the narrow street• of the la1t clty on eart1'to remain almost untouched by w e stern influence. Is there any truth tn the rumor that the Chinese Rede are conducting a campaign of tnten1ive indoctrlnatton, the eort of thing that may completely change the c1v111zat1on 1n Tlbett Again the answer 11 yes. They are taking the young men from that country to China to try and make Communists out of them. This may have as&* vast effect on life in TIBET - 3 Tibet a little later on. Some evenin, in the n e ar future, I will have more about this. To me Tibet is the moet interesting country on earth. We found the peo ry le ~-,,• happy, with their own Tibetan civilizaUDA. And I at111 hope some miracle will occur to •a•• them from the fate that seems to b~ ahead for the■• At any rate, many • of them have 1uffere4 greatly from the waters that swept over sev e ral ot their cities and many villages. I k n ow these people are not Communists. And that w s why I wa• glad to respond to the appeal for funds sent out by the Dalai Lama's brother. . • QIIIQI The earthquake atr1ken area of Greece had a new violent shock, today. Oomplet1ng the destruction of the seaport of Voloa, a o1ty of flftJ thousand peo n le, one hundred m1lea north of Athene. The new quake sent panlc-strlcken people fleelng fro■ their homes, which had already been damaged by the previoua quake.

One billion and three hundred million - to be used f o r the construction of naval vessels - including - another big aircraft carrier, and three more atomic submarines.

UtHJJR HULL 8411S The first thing I did upon arriving at The G lden Gate was dro p in at the office of a particularly fine guy. But he wasn't there. And n ow I know why. At Station kCBS, 1nSan rrancisco, today - a meeting of the whole staff was called. That sounded portentous. What could it meant The staff aasemble4 with solemn faces - waiting to hear the newe. Then, you should have heard the jubilation. Their popular boea, KCBS 1tat1on Manager Arthur Hull Hayes - booate4 I { r . r all the way to the top named President of CBS Radio.
