U.S. military officials deliber-
ately deceived President
Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1958
during the Quemoy-Matsu
crisis in an attempt to use
nuclear weapons, columnist
Jack Anderson says.
Citing dociunents that were
stolen from Daniel Ellsberg's
home in the San Francisco area
earlier this month and later
turned over to a congressional
committee, Anderson said Pen-
tagon officials wanted to use
tactical nuclear weapons to
destory China's underground
mtuiitions dumps and gun en-
placements.
The Chinese at the time were
bombarding the two islands
held by the Nationalist Chinese.
The United States had a com-
mitment to defend the islands
and this led to the military-
planning.
The Pentagon falsely in-
formed the White House that
available Air Force planes in
the area had no bomb racks that
could carry high-explosive
conventional bombs and that
nuclear weapons were thus
needed to do the job, the col-
umnist reported.
Eisenhower and Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles went
ahead with tentative plans to
use nuclear weapons against
Communist China. Meantime,
the Quemoy-Matsu crisis sim-
mered down and there was no
actual American military in-
volvement.
Anderson said details of the
deception were collected in a
1967 Rand Corp. report by Mor-
ton H. Halperin. When Kllsberg
was with Rand, he had official
access to the Halperin report
and later made a copy of it in
hopes he could someday testify
about it to Congress.
The study was among the
documents stolen in the bur-
glary of Ellsberg's home but
later recovered.
QUICK THINKING
HELPS POLICE
PITTSFIELD, Mass. -
A newsboy who knows how to
take quick notes has been cred-
ited with helping police arrest
two women and three men ac-
cused in connection with a
string of 20 thefts in western
Massachusetts.
Police say the unidentified
newsboy — who works for the
Berkshire Eagle here — spotted
a burglary and quickly jotted
down the license number of the
getaway car. It didn't matter
that he was not carrying a
notepad — the youth scribbled
the number on his forearm.
