 Aug 24 1958 
 Red China commences the shelling of the islands of Quemoy and Matsu, which 
 hold one-third of Chiang Kai Shek's troops. 
 The United States threatens nuclear retaliation for this, but the American 
 people do not support the stance. 
 A very strange compromise is worked out, permitting China to shell the 
 islands 
 on odd dates and Chiang Kai Shek's troops to resupply the islands on even 
 dates.
