Question Of Supplies Al Quemoy Depends On US.

By FORREST EDWARDS

TAIPEI (APl—The parachutes are big transparent silver dollars against a pale gold moon. i

Each lands its load on the beach with a crash that thud's against the red clay cliffs rearing a quarter mile from the water’s edge. .

High above, exploding artillery shells blossom fire and fade. Each oragen-red burst is followed by a sharp crack of thunder and a rain of shrapnel.

This is Quemoy', where night- time air drops follow day - time sea convoys. Both so far have

He stares with eyes that show no emotion at piles, of broken brick and splintered timbers that once were homee. For 40 days he has refused to leave the shelter.

This, too, is Quemoy, where Communist Chinese artillery has done surprisinng little damage to dug-in Nationalist gun positions but has destroyed thousands of humes and driven thousands un- derground.

Still more supply vessels and planes are on the way—but time is running out for Quemoy.

So far, the best day supply mise sio-n has been half of the 350-t0n minimum. And there have been days when it fell far short of that amount or when no supplies were landed at all.

For Nationalist troops on Que- moy, this is essentially a period of waiting, of keeping to their on derground existence until they are in a position to return round for round. or at least one round for every three or four hurled t them by the Communists.

GUNS READY

If the ammunition arrives. the Nationalist guns are ready. Al- though Communist artillery can and does hit virtually every square yard of Quemoy, major military damage has been rel- atively light. Tens of scores of Nationalist gun positions are largely int-act. They are so well dug in, so strongly protected, that tley withstand direct hits.

The civilians of Quemoy’s out- lying villages have not fared as well. At least four villages have been largely reduced to rubble.

Thousands of civilians on Que- moy and Little Quemoy are liv- ing underground. As winter ap- proaches, doctors fear outbreaks of influenza will kill more than the Communist artillery.

SCOTTISH ISLE FOR , RUSSIANS?

LONDON REUTERS -— A London newspaper Tuesday night asks whether Russia is going to buy a tiny island off the north coast of Scotland.

The tabloid Daily Sketch mentions a report that Soviet Embassy officials are inter- ested in purchasing the island of Stroma, unsuccessfully nominated as an American television quiz show prize last month.

The Sketch quotes an agent for the Scottish island’s owner as saying “if we don't get a better offer, we will let the Russians have it."

Asks the Sketch: “Will the clink of vodka glasses float across the water to the scotch—drinking natives on the mainland? Will the strains of the Internationale reach to the ancient walls of the

.Queen Mother‘s castle less than two miles away?"

The island‘s owner, um- brella manufacturer J. C. Hoyland. was left without a buyer for Stroma-Population 18-last month when angry Scottish howls of protest greeted a plan to offer Stroma as a prize on an American TV quiz program.
