Andrew Alexander, Herbert Null, James Fair Everett Hess anrt Kenneth Shorb, Reds Resume Shelling Of Quemoy; Americans Deny Escorting Chinese Ships By GENI KRAMER TAIPEI, Formosa (AP) Chinese Communist shore batteries laid a new barrage of fire against the off-shore island of Quemoy today, ending nearly 15 days of cease-fire proclaimed by Peiping. The Red artillery caught four Nationalist supply ships in the Quemoy beach area--three LSTs and one Navy transport. The bombardment lasted for 2 hours and 45 i then stopped, the Nationalist Defense Ministry said. There was no word as to the intensity of the barrage.

The Nationalists said their reinforced artillery on Quemoy had returned the Red fire Deny Red Charge A Nationalist spokesman said no American ships were in the beach area. The Communists in ending the cease-fire had charged U.S. warships had broken the truce by escorting Nationalist supplies to Quemoy Sunday night. The Americans flatly denied this they had only "conducted a small-boat operation lifting Chinese Nationalist supply craft through international waters," at least 15 miles off Quemoy. The Nationalist Defense Ministry said the Communists had resumed shelling at 4 p.m., 50 min utes after Peiping Radio had broadcast orders canceling the cease-fire.

The Communists announced a week ago that their self-imposed hold-fire had been extended to midnight next Sunday. The Nationalists said they had waited one hour after the Communists began shooting, then opened fire. A Nationalist spokesman said the Red bombardment was not so heavy as on Aug. 23, when the offshore war began with an intense two-hour bombardment. During that initial attack 41,000 Communist rounds were fired, killing 11 civilians and wounding 18 on Quemoy and causing more than 200 military casualties.
