BY JESS STEARN It was a crucial time in the short-lived marriage of Ava Gardner, the Goddess of Love, and Frank Sinatra, her crooning hubby. She felt he was running around and wouldn’t believe stories to the contrary. She refused to call him, though she knew he was at the Waldorf. Meanwhile, friends were trying to to get him to call, and he wouldn’t. They were like a couple of kids. “The marriage might have broken off there and then if it hadn’t been for Sinatra’s mother, a warm kind-; ly woman who recognized Ava's' warmth and her love for Frank and loved her as a daughter. “Sinatra,” Ava’s pal continues, “had opened at the Riviera club over in Jersey. It was a big suc cess, but Ava wasn’t there, even though she had made a special ef fort to get here for the opening. One night, however, Frank’s mother visited Ava at Hampshire House, While she was with Ava she called Frank at the Riviera and told him what a wonderful wife he had and why didn’t he stop being a fool. She said that Ava would come over and listen to him if he would ask her. Sinatra finally agreed, and Ava went over. When he won’t lis ten to anybody else, Frank wiil listen to his mother. “That night, with Ava at a ring <Continued On Pure Two) REV.

C., WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 26. 1955 Ike's Decision Repudiation Os Old Policy WASHINGTON (IP) Pre sident Eisenhower’s formal decision to make a hot war defense of Formosa against any Red Chinese attack is a sober repudiation of Tru man administration Far Eas tern policies. Events long since drove Presi dent Truman and his secretary of state. Dean Acheson, to abandon their position on Far East de fenses: They abandoned it, literal ly, under fire-artillery and rifle fire of invading Korean Commun ists. It is exactly five years and 20 days since President Truman set forth his original Formosa policy, lie announced on Jan. 5, 1950, that the United States would take no action to defend Chiag Kai-shek’s Nationalists on Formosa. This surprise announcement shocked congressional Republicans to instant protest. It came three days after former President Hoover and the late Sen. Robert A. Taft publicly had called for Formosa’s defense. Gen. Douglas A. Mac- Arthur and the Joint Chiefs of Staff were reported at the time to hold the same views of Formosa's importance to United States de fense. BRjTISH RECOGNIZE REDS On the day of Mr. Truman’s an nouncement, the British Socialist government advised Communist China that diplomatic ’relations with Chiang’s Nationalists would be broken and that the Reds would be recognized. In the same week, United Press Correspondent Earnest Hoberecht, in Tokyo, obtained and reported the text of a secret State Depart ment memorandum circulated In the Far East. The paper said For mosa’s fall to the Reds was to toe expected and that the public should be convinced that Formosa meant little to United States se curity. There were Immediate congres sional demands that Acheson ex plain the meaning and purpose of that document. Acheson’s most significant response was a Nation al Press Club speech on Jan. 12 drawing the American defense line in the Far East, excluding Formosa and Korea. Taft told the Senate a State De partment “left wing group” sought to get rid of Chiang and was op posing China policy as laid down by Congress.

Wilson disclosed today that military planners are work ing vigorously to make ato mic weapons part of the na tion’s continental defense system.
