Children Uninhibited
Children are uninhibited in their
early years and it is after other
patterns of action have been
super-imposed on them that styl
ized movement results, according
to the dancer.
"The time lias come," stated
Miss Meredith-Jones, "to find this
common denominator of move
f- ment among people, which will
lead to greater understanding. We

Taft Informs Radio Audience
He Supports China Blockade
VP) — Senate majority leader
Robert Taft of Ohio said Monday
that he will back the Eisenhower
administration in any move it
makes in the Far East.
Taft, during a radio broadcast,
said he had no official information
coat a blockade of Red China is
planned, but stated that he would
support such a naval action.
After a conference with Presi
dent Eisenhower earlier Monday,
Taft said that the administration
apparently is not- considering a
frontal-attack in Korea. He added,
"there are other ways of prodding
the reds toward peace."
The Ohio senator commented
that he “personally favors the “Mac
Arthur plan" of bombing red bases
in Manchuria and using Chinese
Nationalist troops.
Meanwhile the chairman of the
joint chiefs of staff, General Omar
Bradley, is reported to have said
he believes ships bound for Red
China could be stopped and forced
to unload contraband material
without touching off a war.
Speaking to the senate armed
services committee, Bradley made
his comment when asked what
might happen if a ship from Fin
land now reported headed for
China with jet fuel ^rom Romania
were bombed.
The General stated "Such
a
move would be regarded as an act
of war.” But, he added, the Chi
nese Nationalists recently halted
a British freighter and forced it
to sail into a Nationalist port

What Do You Think...

Gail Atest, freshman in business, said:
“One of the biggest improvements that could be made would be
to change the preferential system of voting. I think this system
is undemocratic because too many good candidates lost out.”

where a cargo of steel intended
for Red China was unloaded. No
official protest was made against
the action.
In England, the foreign office
has come out flatly against a Red
China blockade. A spokesman said
that the British feel such a move
would be “dangerous, ineffective,
politically unwise and possibly
more harmful to the western al
lies than to the Chinese Commun
ists.”
Despite such expressions of
alarm by England and France,
congressional sentiment in favor
of the blockade appears to be
building up.
