Russia Not Anxious To Become Involved In Far East War
LONDON <IPV—Authoritative diplomatic sources here reported Sat¬ urday that Red China has promised she will not attack Formosa,! and possibly the Nationaliat-held offshore islands aa weil, unless the Russians give a go-ahead signal. {
British  sources said  recent diplomatic soundings in Moscow givel the strong impression that Russia is anxioua to avoid involvement in a Far Eaatern war over Formosa, Thus,  they  reasoned,  Moscow  is  not likely to give Red Uhin« a

a representative to Moscow last Peiping regime to Russia's plans for an Eaat European "NATO" alliance under a joint command as a counter to the Paris agreements rearming West Germany and cre¬ ating a Western European Union WEU.
All reliable indications, accord¬ ing to diplomatic sources here, are that Moscow is doing its best to discourage Peiping from at¬ tacking Formosa. It was le.ss cer¬ tain here whether Moscow also is urging Peiping to soft-pedal its demands and preparations for the "liberation" of Matsu and Que¬ moy—the Niationali-st held islands just off the China mainland coast. It was noted here that Russia holds the key to any major mili¬ tary venture by red China becauae of Chiina'a total dependence on Russia for its heavy armor, planes and naval craft.
Russian   moves    of    international consequence conditional on mutual approval. Cautious Game
These sources said Moscow Is acutely aware of the sensitiveness of Peiping and is playing a eau tious game in an effort to pre¬ serve its alliance with the Chl nese Communists, without being sucked into a Far Eastern war.
Russia's Increased concern for the Chinese alliance Is said to have been reflected by a recent influx of China experts into the Kremlin's highest councils.
The new "mutual consent" agreement on major moves by either partner was believed here purpose beyond that of keeping a checkrein on the ambi¬ tious Chinese. Russia, diplomatic sources said, is attempting to draw China into European issues in or¬ der to strengthen  the bargaining

Senator George Denounces Acts Ttiat Court War
Demands End of Pressure on Ike To Declare Intent on Islands
WASHINGTON ilPi—Sen, Walter F. George denounced Saturday as "not at all conducive to peace" the demands for President Eisen¬ hower to declare American intentions on defense of the Quemoy and Matsu islands.
"It certainly doe;,n't tend to advance the cause of peace or promote stability for Mr, Eisenhower to be pressured into an announcement" that would ple.ise any group, the veteran (ieorgia Democrat said.
"I do not believe it is wise for any group,  "-ight or left, to pres*

Four injured were taken to Me- morial Hospital.
A landslide that swept away part of the track, was believed to have caused the wreck. Some of the passenger cars flipped over on their sides, but only the loco¬ motive went into the liver. The tracks are only about two yards above  the river here.
The train was two houra out of New York on its way to Chicago and travelling at a mile a minute: when tons of earth and rock sud¬ denly broke loose from a 80 foot high hill along tbe right aide of the track.

In effect, the propowl would reverse the Senate's action in ap¬ proving 85 to 3 the Formosa reso¬ lution giving the President wida power to take whatever steps ha thinks necessary to defend For¬ mosa, the Pescadores, and "re¬ lated area.i." Morse cast one M the three opposing votes.
Chairman Styles Bridges, R-NH, of  the Senate  GOP  Policy Com¬ mittee said "I thought Morse waa George and key Republican lead-j ^^rrong" in voting against the For- ers predicted defeat for a resolu-jmosa  resolution  "and  I  think  ha tion    proposed    by    .Sen.
