Formosa (Continued from age One) United Nations intervention In the tfintiftn Li a naiua pnnforontA last week, the President had said he would like the see the U. N. try to arrange a cease fire be-' iween uie inuiese .ttiimguniMs. , The Chinese Red raJJIo has been scornful of this idea, contending the differences wilh tjie National ists are an internal Chinese mat ter and not an international-affair. Eisenhower indicated that Na tionalist Chipcse troops could not be removed from outlying,1 threat ened Islands except under protec tion of U.S. air power a alep that in itself could lead to immediate clashes. with the Rod Thinese air force. ' .!.. Congress apparently was set to act auickly on the President's re quest. The Senate Foreign Rela tions Committee called a meeting Monday afternoon, to hear secre tary of State Dulles and consider a resolution in line with the Pres ident's proposal, The most Immediate threat by the Chinese Reds is to the Tachen Islands, about 200 miles north of Formosa, which are reported to be held by 20,000 Chinese Nation alist regulars. Eisenhower's request' would open the way for use of U.S. set and air power to remove these troops from the islands. If Red planes attacked the U.S. forces, that could lead to an im mediate clash of arms with the Communists.

Industry's Power Need Told By Salem Editor (Continued from Page One) enmnanies nav about 30 per cent of meir, gross receipui m uaAca. Manv federal oroiects charge large proportions of their cost di rect to the federal treasury ior navigation, flood control and the like, reducing the investment the pjwer charges have to support, he said.
