MOOT surprising snglt In th*
Nationalist'a defeat, in the syss of
western military men. was th*
eecapartlvely small number of
Communist Invaders, estimated at
It,0M to 16,000 hien. Chlang's
armies outnumbered them almost
M to 1.
_ Speculation was Immediately
rampant on possible exaggerated
Formosa defenses. Further, in
some quarters, the fall of Hainan
was called the beginning of the end
af Nationalist China.
Russia Watchat
The United State* air force dis-
play of air power, punctuated With
th* explosion of heavy demolition
bombs, jet planes, rockets and
flaming oil bombs, was a. big suc-
cess for the 1,600 spectators, in-
cluding prominent business and
civic leaders and Harry S. Tru-
man.
It was being watched In other
quarters, too, and the adminlstra- !
tion made no secret of its hop*
that those quarters would be duly
impressed. In fact, the govern- 1
ment hoped ths explosions st Fort
Bermlng, Ga., would be heard
across the Atlantic at the moment j
when Russian and American rela-
tions were st their lowest point. '
U. S. State Secretary Dean Ache-
son, who recently has cessed pull-
ing his punches, along with other
high government officials, hoped
th* display would warn th* Soviet
Union that the United States was
prepared.
To demonstrate his hops, h*
said a few days later: . th*
