Defense Hospital
Cutback Upheld
Washington, Mar. 10 (U.PJ Dr.
Richard L. Meiling, striking back
at critics of the defense depart
ment's hospital cutback pro
gram, said today the plan is
aimed solely at saving money.
The House armed services
committee, angered by the ous
ter of Rear Adm. Joel T. Boone,
the department's top uniformed
medical officer who objected to
the cutback, has demanded that
Defense Secretary Louis John
eon hold up the ortkr.
Boone told the committee he
was fired for "non-cooperation"
presumably because of his op
position to the order. He de
scribed the cutback as unsound
and unwarranted.
Five general hospitals would
be closed and services at a num
ber of other facilities would be
curtailed.
Meiling said all hospitals af
fected are located either where
two or more services have hos
pitals or where there is no need
for such facilities.
"The whole keynote of the en
tire program is to eliminate dup
licating facilities," he said
"There should be joint use of
hospitals by the three armed
services."

Red Invasion Unit
Captures China Island
Taipei, Formosa, Mar. 10 (U.B
A Chinese Nationalist naval
communique admitted today that
a Chinese Communist invasion
force has captured Weichow is
land, 85 miles northwest of Hain
an island.
The communique said a Red
fleet of 100 junks and one motor
launch which set out from Communist-held
Pakhoi on the main
land last Monday captured the
island after a battle with Na
tionalist naval units.
The attack started early Tues
day morning, the communique
said. Nationalist naval units
held off the Communist fleet un
til the Nationalist garrison on
Weichow could be withdrawn.
It was believed the Commun
ists intend to convert Weichow
into a base for the projected in
vasion of Hainan island.
Trash Dumpers
Handed Fines
Independence Justice of the
Peace W, A. Wiest levied fines
of $10 and court costs of $4.50
against seven defendants on a
charge of dumping garbage on
the highway. A considerable
pile of trash had accumulated at
this location, along the Buena
Vista-Albany road at a point
several miles south of Buena
Vista, and state police officers
began their work on the case
which ended with the charges
against the seven.
Complaints against the seven,
Walter J. Kerr, Homer S. Wood,
Cilfford R. Glasson, Dean A.
Godfrey, Clarence W. Edler,
Kenneth F. Derowitsch and
Archie A. Derowitsch, alleged
that they had dumped trash all
along the highway.
The justice of the peace point
ed out that anyone who dum s
refuse along a roadway or on
any private property without au
thorization is violating the law
and is subject to a very stiff pen
alty. The fact that a place may
have been used as a dumping
grounds for some time, as was
the case in this instance, does
not mean that it is legally proper
to dispose of trash there. If an
area has not been set aside and
authorized for the purpose of
dumping refuse, anyone who
dumps garbage there is violating
the law and is subject to prosecu
tion as recent events have prov
ed.
This case has brought to light
a problem which plagues Polk
county, and probably hundreds
of others have unwittingly vio-
Gunfire, Wreckage Finally
Halt 2 Fleeing Young Men
By C. K. LOGAN
Robbery, auto theft, burglary and a flight at 90 miles an
hour from police, stopped only by gunshots and the wreckage
of their automobile, combined to bring two young men into
Polk county circuit court next Tuesday.
Waiving grand jury hearing before Circuit Judge Arlie G.
Walker at Dallas Thursday were
Robert Fox, 21, and John Shav
er, Jr., 19, transients. They re
mained in jail with bail set at
$2,500 each and will enter a plea
on information to be filed by
Robert S. Kreason,. district at
torney, when they appear in
court Tuesday. The court has
appointed C. L. Marsters to rep
resent the defendants.
The young men, arrested after
the automobile, stolen from
Arnold Dalk, of Dallas, failed
to negotiate a curve in the Pa
cific highway near Goshen and
crashed into a bank, were re
turned to Dallas by Sheriff Tom
B. Hooker and Chief of Police
Paul Kitzmiller.
Road Block Evaded
During the wild chase, which
latcd this same law because at
present no facilities exist for
garbage disposal which are open
to the public. While one private
dumping ground exists, some
people decline to patronize this,
and as a result, the roadsides are
littered with unsightly and un
healthy trash piles.
It has been suggested that the
county court arrange to have a
convenient area set aside as
dumping grounds. Supporters
of this proposal believe that this
would be one important step
toward cleaning up the country
tide.

evaded Salem police officers who
were alerted by radio alarm,
were chased out of Corvallis and
evaded a roadblock of four pur

Springfield where the shooting
started.
The pair admitted to Sheriff
Hooker and Chief Kitzmiller
that they had robbed the Rain
bow market late last week and
to stealing the auto. They were
also questioned about the ran
sacking of the high school where
$100 were stolen.
The Rainbow market in North
Dallas yielded some small change
and a number of cartoons of
cigaretts, according to Slyves
ter Harder, proprietor. A radio
and groceries from the store
were found in the stolen vehicle.
Neither man had much money
on his person when arrested.
Because of the similarity of
the Polk county thefts with
others committed here, Wayne j
Parker and David Houser, Sa

them after their arrest. Find

the authorities.

After taking the Dalk car
the two young men proceeded
to get stuck in the mud in the

Crider store to pull it back on
the hard-surfaced road.
Officer McCarthy witnessed
the proceeding but did not act
as he was unaware at the time
that the automobile, and also
the pickup, were being operated
without knowledge of the own

returned the pickup truck to
