Formosa Threat: U.S. Hope For Peace But Ready With Aid. As the crisis centered on Quemoy and Matsu continues, America gives a demonstration of its unyielding support for nationalist China. U.S. Marines and units of Chiang Kai Shek's forces take part in joint maneuvers on the beaches of Formosa. Battleships. Asian soldiers, some looking through binoculars, sitting on beach. Crafts come to shore; troops and tanks come onto beach. Asian and Caucasian men (and one who seems to be African American) in camouflage helmets amid trees, many crouched or kneeling.
