OF RED CHINA

Washington, May 7.-The former President, Herbert Hoover, warned firmly today against American recognition of Communist China and seating of the Red delegation in the United Na- tions.

He said either move would be "further sur- render in the cold war." Mr Hoover expressed these views in a letter to Senator William Know- land (Republican) who, with 34 other Senators, has asked President Truman for new assurances that the United States will not recognise the Chinese Red regime or admit it to the United Na- tions.

WINSTON HAS NO APOLOGY FOR COMMONS TACTICS

London, May 7.-The. Conservative leader, Mr Winston Churchill, in a statement today de- clared that there had been "no difference of opinion among the leading members of the Opposition" on its challenges to the Labour Government, pre- cariously holding power with a majority of six, in the House of Commons.

Several times since it was returned to power with a decimnted majority last February, the Prime Minister, Mr Clement Attlee, Government has narrowly averted defents in House of Com- mous votes, any one of which would have meant its resignation.
