Holmes, Gear hart radio station manager, said he fears any bills attempt to regulate advertising. Holmes added that he feared the bill might set a prece dent whereby future legislatures might pass other restrictions against advertising. Sen. Stewart Hardie, Condon, a newspaper publisher, said loan companies are victims of rising costs, and tha tthcy are doing good service. Larceny Status Changed The petty thief, who has been hit by inflation just like the honest fellows, got some legislative re lief.

Now, a thief who steals more than $35 worth is punished for grand larceny.

' Chinese Torture Method For Priests, Nuns Told NEW YORK (,P A favorite Red Chinese punishment for priests today, says the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Ful ton J. Sheen, "is to slit their backs, fill the wounds with cotton soaked in gasoline and ignite it, turning the men into living torches." The Rom.in Catholic churchman orator said that Chinese Commu nists are torturing Catholics who refuse to join a Red Campaign to establish an independent Catholic church in China. "Nuns, both foreign and Chinese, have been stripped naked and dragged through the streets of Chi nese cities tied to th tail of a horse," Msgr. Sheen said in a statement. "The whereabouts of numerous priests, and of at least one Catholic bishop, is unknown." The Monsignor also said Chinese Communists nave been dynamiting missions. WHY BE SICK?

G ROSEBURG NEON 715 South Stepheni Dial 3-7112 Trying To Keep Chiang In Ample Funds, Aim Of U.S. By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON .T The United States is seriously consid ering increased aid to Formosa to keep i hian3 Kai-shek s Chinese Nationalist government from going broke. The matter is one aspect of American relations with the Na tionalist regime which officials here are discussing with Ameri can Minister Karl I.. Kankin, lie has just returned from Taipei for consultations. . According to authorative inform ants, the situation is this: Chiang's government ran about $70.1)00,000 in the red last year. The deficit was made by selling gold cut of the store of treasure which Chiang took to the island when the Communists overran the Chinese mainland. Relatively little of this gold is now left and the government, with 70 percent of its income going for military purposes, is faced with deficit spending. According to some accounts Chiang's gold reserve to taled a little more than $100,000,- quo prior to last year a deficit. me economic -cooperation ad ministration, which runs the For mosa economic aid program, was said to be reviewing the situation. rormosa aid this year totals about $40,000,000 and officials said a mod est increase probahly would take care of Formosa's needs. The island population of 7.000.000 swollen by perhaps 1,500,000 refu gees from the mainland, has a constant battle with inflation even though Formosa is rich in agri cultural and other resources. Informed officials said Chiang's armed forces esitmated to number 600,000 men, including 2.r0,000 in ground combat units, appear td have good morale and to be reason ably well trained and disciplined. some of the units are moder ately well equipped with American arml and supplies but many re to defend the island against threat ened Communist attack. Chiang is receiving some U.S. military aid, but has told Washington he needs more. There continues to be consider able speculation here over the pos sibility of a Communist assault on the island. Some officials doubt that it will be undertaken soon. They point to the presence of the U.S. Seventh Meet between the is land and the mainland and also to the involvment of Chinese Reds in Korea. "Oliver Twist" Movie OKd After Deletions . NEW YORK UP) The Bri tish film "Oliver Twist" after subjection to "extensive elim inations" has been approved by the Motion Picture association of America, the producers' group.
