under strong pressure to speea

and come up with some new pol
icy decisions.
Mr. Hoover, who as president,
refused to recognize Japanese
seizures of Chinese territory,
outlined his views in a letter to
Sen. William F. Knowland, (R.,
Calif.) He called upon this gov
ernment to:
1. Use the navy if necessary to
keep the Chinese communists out
of the western nationalist-held
Pacific islands of Formosa, the
Pescadores and Jainan.
2. Refuse to recognize the
Chinese communist regime of
Mao Tse-Tung.
3. Continue its support for the
nationalist regime of Generalis
simo Chiang Kai-Shek.
Taft in general agreed with
Mr. Hoover. He told a press
conference the United States, if
need be, should participate "in
the military defense of For
mosa." He vas uncertain just how far
this country should go in bol
stering Chiang, but said it could
well consider the advisability of
establishing a naval and air base
on Formosa under a long-term
lease arrangement.

lations committee, the adminis
tration's top foreign policy
spokesman in congress, declined

fense organization for the Phil
ippines "in view of the immi
nence of World War III."

Too 03d to Marry at 30? So
Handsome Bachelor Thinks
By PATRICIA CLARY
Hollywood, Jan. 3 U.R A handsome, wealthy, socialite actor
has just reached his 30th birthday
now he s too old to get married.
Of course, there are about 405,103 single women in Hollywood
and environs willing to convince
Stack says they don't knows
what they're getting in for.
An old man like me is too
set in his ways," he grinned.
"He's in a rut.
A man's most marriageable
years are in his 20s, Stack be
lieves. But he missed the boat.
"First I was having too much
fun at college, playing polo and
swimming," he said. "Right af
ter I got out I became an actor
and kept busy that way.
Then I was out and into the
Navy. Anyone who got married
in the service was nuts, in my
estimation."
Any struggling actor who gets
married is crazy too, Stack adds.
'I know some people say love
conquers all, and all that tripe,"
he said. "But boy, that's next to
suicide. Marriage isn't going to
solve anything unless it has a
solid foundation. And I don t see
how a self-centered, ambitious,
struggling actor is going to have
any time to think about a wife
and kids. He's too busy worry
ing about himself."

So Stack, who escorts the
most beautiful girls in town to
the better night spots and who
once was linked with Lana Tur
ner, has never taken the plunge.
"Now I'm getting a little wor
ried," he said. My career is
rolling along better. I've got a
swell part with Bing Crosby in
Paramount s 'Mr. Music' I'm be
ginning to think I'll be stuck
with a lonely old age.'
However, Stack isn't grabbing
just any girl,
"I know some Hollywood men
who look at marriage like a suit
of clothes, he said. "They plan
to try it twice, first for laughs
and the second time for keeps,
"But not me. I'll only get
married when I'm sure I can
make the grade. Just now, I'm
not sure I'm ready for it."
Stack isn't doing badly as a
bachelor, however. He has a
hunting lodge near Sacramento,

Felfon Warns
On Ideologies
Since "eternal vigilance is
the price of freedom," it be
hooves the American people to
rededicate ourselves to the prin
ciples upon which the country
was founded in order that we
may continue to enjoy the high
est standard of living ever at
tained in the world.
This was the message brought
to the Salem Kiwanis club Tues
day noon by Joseph Felton, dis
trict judge as he warned against
the ideologies of those individ
uals and groups which would
destroy us. These dangers, he
said, were "more than a red her
ring; they are real."
Judge Felton spoke of the
trend in thinking in some quar
ters which would discredit the
principles of the founding fath
ers. He stated that the commun
ists recently convicted in the
east were not convicted because
of their thinking but because of
their avowed attempts to over
throw the government. There
was no curtailment of free
speech involved.
U of W Blackout
On Television
Seattle, Jan. 3 VP) A black
out curtain fell today on tele
vising University of Washing
ton conference basketball
games.
In announcing the decision
to stop television broadcasts,
Director of Athletics Harvey
Cassill said the action followed
disappointing attendance at
seven pre-conference games
that were televised.
"We have been forced to ex
ercise our option to eliminate
television after crowds at our
intersectional games with Min
nesota, Stanford and Columbia
were nearly one-third below our
estimated attendance," Cassill
said.
Citing a drop from the at
tendance for Ohio State and
Minnesota series in 1946, Cas
sill said: "All games were play
ed during the Christmas holi
days and conditions generally
were the same in both years.
"We at the university feel
that television eventually will
play a large part in the devel
opment of athletic crowds, much
in the same manner as radio."
he declared.
"In fact, we have experiment
ed with the televising of all ma
jor Washington games since the
introduction of the media to
this area. The entire 1949 con
ference basketball schedule and
all six home football games were
televised. It is only after this
thorough experiment that we
have decided to make further
studies before televising addi
tional Washington athletic con-
tests.

Victims Bodies
Mount Pocono, Pa., Jan. 3 VP)
What caused the crackup of a
light plane in the Pocono moun
tains 12 days ago remained a
mystery today hours after the
bodies of two victims were re
covered in a thickly wooded re
gion. The plane carrying two men
home on a surprise Christmas
visit with their families in New
York crashed in the woods near
here on the night of Dec. 22 on
the last leg of a trip from Geor
gia. The wreckage and the bodies
were not found until late yes
terday. Killed in the crackup were
James J. Rogers, Jr., 24, of Sche-I
nectady, N. Y., and Colin Cou
zens, 37, of Smiths Basin, N. Y.
Rogers had recently signed up
for a proposed Antarctic expedi
tion to be led by Admiral Rich
ard Byrd.
The two men had jobs at Mac-
Clenny, Fla., and took off for
their trip from Waycross, Ga.
State policemen investigating
the crash said they were unable
to suggest any cause. The plane
had an ample supply of gas, they
said. The crash occurred in a
dense fog with a light rain fall
ing.
S. W. White, operator of the
Waycross Flying Service, which
traced the flyers all the way to
Baltimore, said officials at the
Baltimore airport reported the
men departed despite a promise
that they would do no night fly
ing on their trip.

New York, Jan. 3 VP) Mrs.

against her husband, Alger Hiss.
The slender, soft-spoken wit
ness began her testimony Thurs
day afternoon in the second per
jury trial of her husband be
fore Federal Judge Henry W.
Goddard. The first trial ended in
a hung jury, eight for convic
tion, four for acquittal.
Hiss, former high state de
partment official, is charged
with having lied to a federal
grand jury when he denied he
gave government secrets to
Chambers, admitted former
courier for a Soviet spy ring.
Mrs. Hiss testified today that
she had not taken any trips
with Mrs. Chambers in the
1930's. Mrs. Chambers had tes
tified they had made such trips,
and that she and her husband
were good friends of the Hiss'.

Harry Bridges
Trial Resumed
San Francisco, Jan. 3 VP) The
perjury trial of Harry Bridges
slipped right back into gear
again today, just as if there had
been no holiday vacation.
Paul Crouch, government wit
ness and professed ex-communist,
was under heavy cross-ex
amination by Defense Attorney
Vincent Hallinan.
Crouch persisted that, while a
communist, he composed a com
munist party line resolution
which Bridges presented at a
CIO meeting in Oakland.
Before the holiday recess in
Dec. 21, Crouch had testified
that the communist party had
"constructed a web" around
Bridges, head of the CIO Long
shore union, to compel him to
change over, with the commun
ists, after Germany attacked
Russia in 1941. This change,
Crouch said, was from one of
'the Yanks are not coming," to
one of all-out support for Rus
sia. Bridges, Australian-born, was
indicted on the grounds that he
swore falsely in his 1945 citi
zenship hearing that he was not
and had not been a communist.
Hallinan, through his cross-
examination today, was trying
to show that all the points in the
controversial Oakland resolution
actually stemmed from Bridges'
own views on policy, and were
not communist inspired.
The trial of Bridges will last
for many more weeks.

Egyptians Hold
General Election
Cairo, Jan. 3 P) Egypt's
first general election in five
years began with heavy voting
in districts outside this capital
today. The early turnout in the
capital was light, but the big
vote was expected late in the
day.
The voting in this country of
fiery political temperament was
peaceful throughout the early
hours. At least six persons had
been killed in pre-election cam
paign disorders since December
13, and most observers had ex
pected renewed bloodshed de
spite government efforts to avert
it.
Correspondents in Egypt are
under tight censorship, partic
ularly with regard to news of
election disorders.)
About 5,000,000 citizens of the
Nile kingdom were eligible to
ballot for new members of the
chamber of deputies. The wo
men have no vote.
The election climaxes a month
of bitter campaigning between
candidates of five opposing par
ties and strong groups of inde
pendents. (London newspapers specu
lated that the Egyptian elec
tions might be Influenced
strongly by recent reports that
King Ferouk, the country's 29-year-old
monarch, had broken
up a romance between two of his
subjects so that he could marry
a beautiful 16-year-old Egyptian
commoner.)
