MOSCOW (AP)——Nikita Khrush- ehrv Friday night warned Presi- dent Eisenhower to withdraw U.S. immedi- - ugly or risk their forceful expul-
lion by Communist China.
If the United States does not pull out its forces now, the SOVlE't prime minister said, then “no other way will be left to People’s china except expulsion of armed games hostile to it from its own unitary. . . ."

China to renounce use of force in Formosa Strait and embark on peaceful negotiations.
Eisenhower’s letter responded ' to a Sept. 9 note from Khrush- chev calling for withdrawal of U.S. forces from the Formosa area.
A Tess agency summary of Khrushchev’s r e pl y said the Kremlin leader again warned that an attack on Red China would be considered an attack on the So- viet Union.
“We stand fully ‘by the side of the Chinese Peeple’s government and the Chinese people,” Khrush- chev said. “We have alwayssup- ported their policy and shall con- tinue to do so in the tut-ure."
“The U.S. Navy shonld be with. drawn from the Taiwan (For- mosa) Strait and the U.S. sol- diers must leave the country and go home,” Khrushchev said. “There is no other way of reach- gang a firm peace in the Far

Red Seat Bid Voted Out

Communist China’s renewed bid

was submerged Friday by in
.wave of support for the United
States which has marked this first week of debate in the new
. UN Assam! bly.
The Assembly's steering com- mittee, following an expected ac- encbange between the U.S. and Russia, voted 12 to 7 with two abstention: against bringing up Peiping's representa- tbign in the 13th assembly’s de-
te.
The actual effect of the com- mittee vote was more procedural than actual. It means that Red China's admission bid“ proposed by India year, will not be part of the Assembly’s formal agenda. But there is no doubt that the issue will continue to be a bot subject for debate. ‘
Canada is not a member of the 21-eountry steering committee at this time, and has not made any public statement as yet on her attitude in the Far East situation. However, Erxernal Affairs Minis- ter Smith, who will spend the weekend conferring with Prime Minister Diefenbaker and other cabinet members, is expected to make Canada’s declaration of pol- icy in the Assembly’s general de- bate next Wednesday.

No bombs were reported found on or near the ships.
The one certainty the admiral insisted on was that a prowler had been sighted and fired on by a sentry close to the submarine Le Dauphin about 11 o’clock Thursday night.
Two hours later, the admiral said, a sentry aboard the de- stroyer Le Bouvet tossed anti- fmgmen grenades and sprayed the water with automatic gunfire after he saw bubbles rising.
