Defense
necessary to hold the twbgroups
of islands in order ' to' defend
Formosa and the Pescadores
against Communist attack.'
Adm. Arthur W. Radford,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, replied, these sources said,
that it was not "essential" but
that it would be "helpful." Rad
ford was said to have pointed
out that the islands how bottle
up two staging points for any
invasion of Formosa the har
bors of Amoy and Foochow.
More Blood Would Be Shed -
If the islands fell into Com
munist hands, Radford Waft said
to have stated, a lot more Amer
ican blood would be shed in
defending Formosa against a Red
Chinese fleet sailing' across the
Formosa Strait. :
. Radford was said to have given
assurances, however, that the
powerful 7th fleet could stop
any , invasion of Formosa, with
or without the offshore islands
in Nationalist hands. :
The other members of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff were said
to have agreed with Radford that
the offshore islands - were not
essential to the defense of For
mosa. But they were said to have
split over the question of whether
Chinese Nationalist ; garrisons
could hold the islands with only
U. S. air and sea support.
Washington (U.R) Navy Sec
retary Charles S. Thomas has
assured Congress the Navy can
cope with "any- local;. - naval
actions", in the Formosan.,Straits
and retaliate ! immediately - if
general war breaks out.
i. Thomas appeared before the
House Armed Services Commit
tee with Adm. Robert B.- Carney,
chief of naval operations,. land
Gen. Lemuel C. Shepherd Jr.,
Marine Corps commandant. :
Can Withstand Onslaught
"To be specific in. regard to
the current and urgent issue,"
Thomas told the committee, "the
Navy at present strength can, in
my ' opinion, .adequately " cope
with any local naval actions with
respect to the limited area of the
Formosan Straits, r : v
"If . a ! major conflict should
occur now or in the future," he
said, v "this naval' ' program is
still designed ; to withstand the
initial onslaught,"' to ; contribute
immediately to the nation's re
taliatory nower. and to nrovide
a base for full and rapid mobil
ization." -y'-z-'o

"Our three divisions and three

A resolutidn asking the , state

adopted ;by the directors of the
Jackson .' County Chamber of
Commerce. : . . '. v .
The resolution, which will be

Mankind's only .hope for suc

through intensified medical re
search, Mayor Earl M. Miller
said, in a proclamation designat
ing February as American Heart
month. ; He appealed ' for - full
support, of the 1955 Heart fund.
Mayor Miller pointed out that
these diseases are responsible
for about 52 per cent of the na
tion'ji deaths, constitute a lead
ing cause of disability in this
city, and are responsible for a
staggering economic loss by rea
son - of lost productivity and
medical care expenses.
Funds Used Locally .: .
-The- c a m p a i g n extends

ary, with a major portion of the
contributions going to support
local and state heart programs,
and-the jremainder, being devot
ed - to the - vital research work
and other - activities ' of the
American Heart association, v
In his appeal, Mayor Miller
asked all schools, churches, civic
associations, - business establishments,-
social and fraternal or
ganizations and the people gen
