The trio comprising Commander of the U. S. Far East Air Force General Lawrence S. Kuter, Chief of Staff of the Pacific Air Command Major General Sory Smith, and Commander of the U. S. 13th Air Force Brigadier General William Lee were later entertained at a dinner party given in their honor by the Chinese chief of state. The current visit of the three key USAF generals will be highlighted by an important conference this morning when the trio will confer with Deputy Commander of the Taiwan Liaison Center Brigadier General Benjamin O. Davis on the situation in the Taiwan area. Arriving here Thursday, all the three visiting American generals will leave this aftertoon for their respective bases - - Kuter for Tokyo, Smith for Pearl Harbor, and Lee for the Philippines. General Kuter will board his plane on his return trip after attending a luncheon party given in his honor by Chinese Air Force Commander General Wang Shu ming. Observers placed high hopes in the important conference of the USAF generals scheduled for this morning. They speculated that the conference would discuss not only the general situation here but also ways and means to cope with the mounting threat created by the Communist air build-up along the Chinese mainland coast opposite Taiwan. Both Chinese and American official quarters declined to elaborate on what had been discussed between the visiting American air force generals and Chinese authorities here. They merely said the trio yesterday listened to briefings at an American Embassy conference, a Chinese Defense Ministry meeting, and a conference of the 13th Air Task Force. Yesterday, General Kuter also called on Commander of the U.S. Seventh Fleet Vice Admiral Alfred M. Pride, concurrently chief of the Taiwan Liaison Center; Defense Minister Yu Ta wei; and Chief of General Staff General Peng Meng-chi. General Kuter also attended a meeting of the Air Force Section of the MAAG in order to get a detailed picture and understanding of the situation related to cooperation between the Chinese and Amerian air forces.

[[/article]] [[article]] Gov't Enterprises Not Affected By Ban On Loans, Wu Director of the Government Information Bureau Dr. Wu Nan-ju disclosed yesterday that government-operated enterprises are not included among those "government organizations" which will not be allowed loans by the Bank of Taiwan. Wu was making supplementary explanations on an Executive Yuan resolution which orders the Bank of Taiwan to reject any and all applications for loans by "government organizations." The term "government organizations" refers to "government public offices." The term, Director Wu said, should not be interpreted as including government-operated enterprises. Speaking at a press conference, Wu said that government-operated enterprises might apply at the Bank of Taiwan for loans to meet their needs and their applications would be dealt with in accordance with related regulations. He also denied rumors which claimed that the various government offices seldom repay the loans obtained from the Bank of Taiwan and that these offices are still owning huge sums to the bank.
