Except for the opening Momaats duly which Mr, Acheson introduced and sworn in, no transcript was issued on the forenoon session. Sen. Milton Young (R-N. D,) said that in addition to the document itself a United Press story of Jan. 3, 1950, disclosing that the State Department had advised foreign service members that Formosa was likely to fall soon to the Chinese Reds, was read into the committee record.

The dispatch was offered as an argument for making public the entire document. Sen. Young said the United Press reporter had done “a very good job” of conveying the sense of the paper.
