Nationalists Hit Hard At Reds Taipei, Formosa, March 13-- (AP) --Nationalist bombers today wal- loped Communist invasion forces on the mainland as a new cabinet prepared to begin functioning on Formosa. Main target was a potential in- vasion force of 4,000 Communist troops of Chusan Island, Nationalist blockade base 100 miles southeast of Shanghai. Air claimed a third of the Red Forces was wiped out, along with food stored at Ningpo, 75 miles south of Shanghai and a warehouse at Ning- hai, 55 miles from there. Other planes flew over Shang- hai, Hangchow and Nanking dropping copies of President Chiang Kai-Shek's message of March 1 pledging recovery of the mainland. Two tasks face the cabinet. First members must take the lead in withstanding a possible Communist invasion of Formosa which their mainland enemies have promised for this year. Second they must keep the economy of Formosa on an even keel. All quarters rule out the possi- bility of a Communist invasion of Formosa immediately unless the Russians supply the Reds with planes. Many are convinced an un- pleasant surprise in this direction is in store and some think it will .be catastrophic when it comes. | The Summary Business and Markets .......... Whitby News ..... .
