'Me Lived the Job' -Widowed Mother Retaliation for De Gaulle Action On Red China TAIPEI, Formosa (UPIj -Nationalist China broke diplomatic relations with France today.

The government information office announced that the break was effective immediately. The move was in obvious retaliation for France's diplomatic recognition of Red China two weeks ago. At his Jan. 31 news conference, French President Charles de Gaulle explained he had recognized Red China because it was the effective government of the entireChinese mainland. He paid a warm personal tribute to nationalist Chinese president Chiang Kai-Shek at the time.

But he left completely up in the air the problem of rec-J ognizing "two Chinas" or possibility of breaking with the Nationalists and the question of Chinese representation in the United Nations. Last weekend, however, informed quarters in Paris indicated that -relations between Paris and Taipei would be severed before complete diplomatic relations were set up between the French and Peking within three months. Nationalist China, which stili holds China's seat in the U.N. Security Council, had held off breaking relations with Paris until now. The decision was made at a three-hour emergency scabinet meeting which ended shortly before midnight.

The foreign minister was expected to issue a statement tomorrow denouncing France's recognition of Communist China and warning President De Gaulle of its "serious consequences." ione Health Office For Oakland The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. will soon open a medical office in Oakland to serve about 5,000 employes in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.

This is recognized by Khrushchev himself, who is supposed to recommend that farmers be given more incentives presum ably similar to those that prevail in capitalistic states, with subsidies from the state, of course. The Central Committee's organ, Kommunist, pointed out that agriculture has lagged in comparison with industry since 1959. NEVER REALIZED Actually, it has fared badly ever since the days of the Bolsheviks and some observers conclude that communism has never achieved the level of the Czarist days.
