NZPA Peking Communist China indicated yesterday that it had lost hope that the world women’s softball championships would be held in Taiwan and called on the International Softball Federation (1.5. F. to make a decision on moving, the tournament. The New China News Agency (N.QN.A.) said that mainland China had sent a message to the I.S.F. general secretary, Mr Don Porter supporting a Japanese proposal for re-locating the games, because the Taiwanese softball authorities insisted on using the flag and national anthem of the
Nationalist-ruled island, symbols which are unnacceptable to Peking. China has frequently stated its eagerness to send a team to the games in July, which would be the first mainland delegation to visit Taiwan since- the communist victory in 1949. All Peking’s gestures have been rejected by Taiwan as communist propaganda.
