Washington, Jan. 9. Senator Robert Taft urged in a speech before the National Press Club today that if the United Nations forces were pushed out of Korea the Chinese Nationalists should be permitted to invade the Chinese mainland.
In answer to questions following the speech, Senator Taft urged the United States to consider backing such an invasion with an air war against Communist targets in China. No other action seemed capable of saving Southeast Asia from Communist conquest.
