Direct Negotiations.
Over Formosa Talked
Bandung, Apr. 25 1^1 — Paki-
stan’s Prime Minister Mohammed
Ali says the Red Chinese consid-
er direct negotiations with the
U. S. over Formosa still possible.
The Pakistan official had a two
and one half houCconfercnce with
Chou En-Lai. He said the Chinese
Communist leader considered the
“door of direct negotiations with
the U. S. over Formosa is still
open a slight crack.”
Mohammed Ali who lunched
with Chou told newsmen ,^e dis-
cussed ail phases of the Formosa
problem1. He refused to say
whether he had asked the Chinese
premier to release elevn American
airmen as a means of showing his
sincerity for negotiations.
He intimatecTlie had raised the
question, saying “There- is need
to eliminate suspicion on both
sides and I believe China could
help by releasing American .air-
men oi' perhaps, arranging for Na-
tionalist Chinese evacuation of
offshore islands.”
When newsmen pressed Paki-
stan’s prime minister to say what
he and Chou said about the air-
men he repeated, “I would not
want to say too much about that
it might jeopardize charges of
a settlement.”
Chou, he added, “understands
our viewpoint and I am beginning
to understand his.”
Mohammed Ali, who has close
ties with the West through his
military pact with Turkey and g
military assistance agreement
with the. United States, said of the
Formosa situation:
“I thiAk some friendly countries
should take this up in earnest. I
believe (there is a sincere desire
on both sides for a settlement.
“The only trouble is that both
sides arc suspicious of the other.
Hut I don’t see much difficulty in
removing that suspicion.”

checking with President Eisen-

But Johnson said he favors a
proposal from Senator Walter
George of Georgia that the Unit-
