...China last week provided a large share of Washington's worries, but it was the other China that attracted firsthand attention in the nation's capital. Mme, Chiang Kaishek, wife of the Generalissimo, continued the "unofficial" visit she began last month, charming her hosts at a luncheon with 60 Senators and at a dinner given by Dean Rusk-and all the while discussing the danger of admitting Red China to the United Nations.

He met with top Nationalist officials, conferred three times with 77-year-old Chiang Kaishek. Said Ky after his talk with the Gimo: "Regardless of the differences of age, these conversations were the most delightful of my life." In Bangkok he made the rounds of banquets and conferences with the Thais, who are fighting Communist harassment on their northern borders and are preparing...
...newcomers and the 5,000,000 natives settled down together in an uneasy truce while the Red Chinese juggernaut massed across the 115-mile-wide strip of water. It was then that President Truman warned that the U.S. would do nothing to stop the Communists or to aid Chiang Kaishek...
