gUEMOY L.T.-DELCO. MONDAY 1 OCTOBER 20, 1958 (Given by Walter Cronkite,L.T. in So.Pacific) It ien•t clear what the Chinese Reds mean - in their renewal of the Quemoy bombardment. In their official statement they sa i d - they were ending the ceaee-fire, becauee American warships had begun to convoy Nationalist supply vessele,again/ With U.S. destroyers - invading itaerritorial waters or Red China But th i s is denied illllllediately by the u.s. Naval Coanand in the Formosa Strait. The denial insisting - there has been no new convoying, or any intrusion into the Communist area. In Washington, the statement is - that there's no intention of renewing the convoy system, unless there are military reasons for it.

TO RECORDING Travelin in the South Seas, Lowell Thomas has had occasion to note an interesting thing - the Polynesian gift for music. Which we know so well - in those entrancing songs or Hawaii. So now, from American Samoa, he sends us an example of children's music. (After the singing, L.T. says only "So long". so maybe it would be a good idea if Don Morrow would pick up with a reference back to the tact that 1t•s tuneful Polynesian music.)
