China Ambassador i Leads Fund Drive Says Countrymen To Repair Embassy WASHINGTON (UP) — Nationalist Chinese Ambassador Hollington K. Tong said today he would lead his countrymen in a subscription drive to repair the riot-dam-aged U.S. Embassy at Taipei. Tong pledged to donate SI,OOO out ot his own pocket. The ambassador said Monday night on ABC’s TV “Press Conference” that the mobs participating in anti - American rioting on Formosa last week were not organized or Communist-inspired. He said the riots were an "isolated thing” that got out of hand. Asked specifically how the rioters knew how to get to the embassy code room, Tong said: “The code room, you see, when the mobs became mobs, they did a lot of things which they regretted afterwards.” U. S. officials at Taipei said Monday that "definitely organ-

ized rioters armed with axes concentrated on smashing their way into the secret embassy code room. They said the attack compromised some of the U. S. codes. Tong said the Nationalist Chinese “are going to dig out of our own pockets and pay for damage” to the embassy. If necessary, he said, “I believe we will” build a new embassy at no cost to the American taxpayers.

Ike, Adenauer Propose Meet On Unification Propose .Meeting Os Big Four Minister? To Oust Hussein WASHINGTON (UP)—Preaident Eisenhower and German Chancel* lor Konrad Adenauer proposed today a new Big Four foreign ministers meeting on German unification after the West concludes a "first step" disarmament agreement with Russia. In a communique concluding Adenauer's three - day conference here, they said that "the conclusion of an initial disarmament agreement might be an appropriate time for a conference on the reunification of Germany among the foreign ministers of the four powers responsible therefore." The communique added that the United States will consult with Britain and France about their views. They declared German unification a prerequisite to any "comprehensive" world disarmament agreement. This, apparently, was the compromise assurance the 81-year-old West German leader sought in Washington. He had been reported to be worried that the Western powers would leave the German problem unsolved in the rush for a partial disarmament agreement ’ at London. Eisenhower promised in the . communique that any disarma--1 ment plans applicable to Europe would be accepted by the United ' States only with the approval of ‘ the other NATO nations, including West Germany, and with regard ' to “the link between European ■ security and German reunifica- » tion.” The President assured Adenauer the United States would not take any disarmament step which would prejudice the reunification of Germany. The communique said that Germany must be reunited "on a free and democratic basis by peaceful means.” Adenauer made a similar pledge to avoid force in uniting Germany during a speech to the House of Representatives shortly after his final session with the President. "Nobody in Germany plays with the idea of using force of war, and this includes the use of force in the question of German unification,” he declared, “on my word before God.” The two leaders in their communique challenged Russia to demonstrate that it really desires peace. "If the Soviet rulers • really desire peace and the relaxation of international tension, they can give no better proof than to permit' the reunification of Germany through free elections,” they said. School Pupils Given Unexpected Vocation NEW CASTLE (UP) — Pupils at Weir Grade School here had an unexpected vacation Monday when officials closed the school for the second time this month because of leaking gas fumes. Deputy Fire Marshal Stanley Forsyth said a breakdown in pipelines leading into a service station near the school sent gasoline vapors into sewers,under the school. Firemen flooded'the sewers in ai) attempt to dispel the gas. Forsyth termed the situation “serious” and warned residents to keep their basements ventilated.
