PEKING President Reagan's talks with
Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping in China this
weekend have underlined that U.S. support for
Taiwan is still the key stumbling block to the
developing Sino-American relationship. The
two leaders discussed U.S. anas sales to the
Chinese nationalists of Taiwan, who have defied
Peking with U.S. support since 19-10, Although
Reagan and Deng emerged smiling from the
meeting, they reported no progress on the
issue. According to diplomats in Peking, Deng
is torn between the need for U.S. technology to
speed China's modernization and leftist pres
sure within the Communist Party to shun con
tacts with the United States 3 Ion 3 as it sup
ports Taipei Reagan, who throughout most
of his political career has condemned commu
nism and backed the Chinese nationalists, also
must contend with political pressures from
the Republican right wing which still opposes
dealings with Peking. The United States will
not abandon old friends on Taiwan to make
new ones elsewhere, Reagan said before he left
Washington.
By old friends Reagan meant the national
ists, who lost to the Communists in the Chinese
civil war but have continued to rule Taiwan
since 1949 under the banner of the "Republic
of China."

KINGSVXLLE, Texas A freight train plowed
into a group of illegal aliens on a railroad
bridge Sunday night, killing a man, two women
and one child and injuring seven others,
.police said. The aliens, all Salvadorans, were
walking along the 40-foot-high open bridge
above a creek about GO miles north of the
Texas-Mexico border, Kenedy County Sheriff
Jim Chandler said. The dead included a man,"
between 30 and 35, a 38-year-old woman and
her 21 -year-old daughter, he said. One of the
girls died in a hospital today. Some of those
injured were reported in serious condition. A
' railroad spokesman said the train traveling at
about 40 miles an hour, approached the bridge
from around a curve and the engineer did not
have enough time to stop after seeing the
group on the track ahead. Chandler said the
aliens had entered the United States from
Mexico, probably near the border town of
Brownsville. Chandler said the aliens told
police they were being escorted by smugglers
who had charged them $600 each to take them
across the border to Houston where they had
jobs waiting. They had been traveling in vehi
cles on a road but left them to walk along the
bridge in an effort to go around a border patrol
checkpoint, Chandler said. ,
