Washington Visions Of Chiang Kai-Shek Invasion Prospects
FROM SYDNEY SMITH
(Dally Exprons Staff Reporter)
Washington, Jan. 10.
Wafts from a pipe dream in Formosa 10,000 miles away are infect- ing the nicely conditioned airs of the Pentagon and Capitol Hill with visions of a million and more anti-Communist mainland guerillas 'waiting to welcome the Generalissimo back to China from which he was whipped with his battered battalions nearly two years ago.
And the prospect of a Chinng landing on the mainland to rally millions of disillusioned Communists is bubbling to the surface like an over-cooked dumpling in the hectically boiling stew of America's present foreign affairs debate.

Chlang's own assurance that one million guerilias, apart from huge forces of defecting Reds, would swell the ranks of his invasion forces the moment he landed again on the Chinese mainland is probably the largest piece of bait on which his anxious supporters in Washing-
