For the first time in more than a. week. there were no reports of air or sea action betiieen the Na- tionalists and Chinese Commu- nists off the Chekzaniz Pi'fl\'ln(‘t’ coast. more than 200 miles north of Formosa.

FORBSTALL ATTACK '

Defence ministry sources said the increased action against the Reds was designed to forestall any itttempt to seize the Tachen islands, northern outpost 220 miles north of Formosa.

They expressed belief that Na- tionalist attacks of the last week, during which they claimed to have sunk two small Red warships. might have a discouraging effect on Red plans for an attack on the Tachens.

The Tachens are a strongly gar- risoned base for mainland raids. a loolcmit post, 9. point for under- ground traffic and a possible stag- ing area for any future Nationalist attack on Red China. Their loss. while not fatal to Formosa_ might spark the dormant civil war into something very much alive.
