This Sec DOT Approves Leg of Downtown Loop By LEE STILLWELL Nowt-Sonttnol WnMastM CorrNgoadoaf WASHINGTON April A major hurdle toward building the east leg of the Downtown Loop was cleared yesterday with final approval of plans by the Transportation Department John A Volpe transportation Security Council representing was saved only by a parliamentary move calling for a two-thirds vote to settle such an "important Since then the government here has been rethinking its policy centered on keeping Peking out of the United Nations It has reached no new conclusion and during the rethinking process seven more countries have recognized Red China Many friends of the Nationalists including the United States have urged them to shift emphasis from excluding Peking from the United Nations to keeping themselves in A growing number of countries believe Communist China with its vast population must be represented in the world organization Some of these same countries regard Nationalist China as a loyal UN member and want it to stay in But if forced to choose between the mainland with its 750 million people and Taiwan with 14 million they will go for Peking CHIANG MAY LOSE FACE The choice for Generalissimo Chiang who is now 83 is extraordinarily difficult Any or China one policy would weaken the Nationalist claim to be sole legal government of all There is much more at stake than form or -prestige The claim to represent ail of China is the justification by which 2 million Chinese -exiles from the 1949 Communist takeover of the nwinland hold political control over 12 million Taiwanese ethnic Chinese who came here some three centuries ago In an effort to reverse the diplomatic tide Chiang has named a younger and more vigor- -ous foreign minister As of now officials are determined fight like hell for our UN They have launched a worldwide diplomatic offensive arguing that membership for Peking an "aggressive subversive power would the world organization Despite Taipei's campaign some diplomats fear it is too late that Red China this year will be voted in the United Nations and Taiwan expelled no matter how hard the Nationalists and their friends fight Should this happen it would be a though not fatal blow to the Chiang regime in the opinion of many experts Taipei would lose the great-power status of a seat on the Security Council and its claim to speak for China would in effect be rejected by the international community FEAR FOR OUTSIDE INVESTMENTS Also foreign investors could start to worry about the future and cut back on new projects Taiwan has been benefitting from well over $100 million a year in outside capital investment and could be hurt if it slowed "However the UN one authority Mid don't think it will matter to foreign See NATIONALIST Page 2 By CUTLER Icrtgoa-Haward SMI Wrlfor TATPrT Trj'vrn Airil 14 As the United States tries to improve its relations with Com- munist China the rival Nationalist regime nn the island is showing dismay fear of a sellout and deepening suspicion The suspicion has grown so deep that some well-placed Chinese here think agents are secretly encouraging a Taiwanese independence movement Behind the alleged is this supposed reasoning: If the Taiwanese who are 85 per cent of the population seize control the United States will be rid of embar-raising commitments to Chian Kai-shek's government and free to seek detente with Reid China officials categorically deny any such moves Moreover they point out that both the Communist and Nationalist governments claim Taiwan and any backing for an independence movement would earn Washington the hostility of both sides That such dark maneuvers are being whispered and denied though is evidence of tension between the United States and Nationalist China formerly the closest of allies DISAPPOINTED BY NIXON President Nixon has bitterly disappointed Taioei by his cautious gestures to Red China: Lifting some trade and travel restrictions and referring to the mainland regime by its formal name In a government-inspired comment a leading newspaper here complained: is inexcuMbie that the President of the United States which is the Free World leader and an ally of the Republic of China should refer to the Chinese Communist regime as the Republic of It is intolerable that the United States which is closely associated with this country should assume such an unfriendly attitude" Privately Nationalist officials denounce US policy as and express hope that Nixon will before irreparable harm is done They argue that Peking is a deadly foe of the United States and that any friendly move by the President will be interpreted as weakness Government officials are also beginning to question the firmness of the 1954 treaty which commits the United States to defend Taiwan (Formosa) diplomats reassure them that the commitment is as solid as ever but the Chinese remain worried SHOCKED BY VOTE IN UN Adding to the Chiang government's apprehension over the future is its dearly deteriorating international position The regime was shocked by the UN vote last fall which for the first time favored admitting Red China and expelling the Nationalists Their seat
