Red China Ships
Driven Off by
Nationalist Fire
.Mighty Naval Force
. Massed for Signal
: Taipeh, Formosa (U.R) Chi
nese -Communist warships,
planes and artillery attacked Na
tionalist islands off the China
coast, today and the Defense min
istry announced that more non
combatants were being evacuat
ed from Tachen.
: Four Red Chinese warships
attacked Nationalist-held Yushan
Island, a defense outpost some
40 miles north of Tachen, but
were driven off by concentrated
artillery fire from the island's
defense garrison, the ministry
announced.
Nationalist Chinese bombers
. Struck enemy forces north of
Tachen and hit a large Commu
nist supply ship with bombs,
rockets and machinegun , fire
leaving the 2,000-ton vessel bad
ly crippled and sinking.
: The Defense Ministry said a
convoy of American-built land
( ing ships carrying civilians,
, wounded and prisoners of war
i would arrive at the northern
? port of Keelung today from
Tachen. .
s ; However, there was no official
word yet on when the evacua
tion of the Nationalist garrison
vould begin. The ministry said
the garrison's orders were still
to fight to the death if attacked.
The mightiest American naval
forqe assembled since the Ko
rean war stood off northern For
mosa ready to help once the
word is flashed from Washing
ton. The 7th Fleet included five
big carriers and Singapore re
ported the 45,000-ton carrier
Midway passed there at full
steam on its way to Formosa,
tnree days ahead of schedule.
A high American official said
the fleet was delaying evacua
tion of the Tachens because the
United States hopes a cease fire
in the Formosa Strait will per
mist a peaceful withdrawal with
out the danger of a major war.
Awaiting U. S. Decision ' .
American officials said the de
lay in removing the 10,000 Na
tionalist troops and 20,000 civil
ians from the Tachens, 200 miles
north of Formosa, was net due
to any stand taken by General
issimo Chiang Kai-shek. '
The officials said there was
no doubt the Nationalists still
were trying to get the Ameri
cans to - make a definite public
commitment regarding Quemoy
Island, 300 miles south of the
Tachens, and Matsu, midway be
tween, but that this was not the
main factor delaying the, evacu
ation. Nationalist officials were re
ported bitter over the U. N. invi
tation to Communist China to
send representatives to the Se
curity Council to debate a For
" mosa cease fire.

Crime omie
In Oregon
Salem (U.R) A bill to abolish
obscene comic books or others !
that make crime seem fascinat
ing to minors was . before the
Oregon Senate today, and a com
panion bill would bar a maga
zine distributor from forcing
"package deals" on magazine
stands.
Under the "package ' deal,"
some distributors have forced
certain so-called comic books
on the dealer before he can get
other wanted books, even though
the dealer himself may find the
books thrust upon him objec
tionable. Would Authorise Commission
One ' of the measures, intro
duced by Sen. Joh;- C. F. Merri-field-
(R-Portland) would author
ize a county court or commis
sion to establish an advisory
committee to- evaluate . books
sold on magazine stands and
elsewhere. The committee would
ctetermins whether certain publi
cations were harmful to minors
because they are indecent, or
use obscene language,, or "stir
up sex impulses that lead to
sexually impure and lustful
ihoughts.". The committee : also
would determine . if the comic
books c6ntainj stories of crime
or deeds of bloodshed presented
in sucii a way as to induce imita
tion and weak respect for law
and justice, or ridicule or attack
any racial, religious or cultural
grOUpS. . -.;
Bill Authorizes List .-
.The county court or commis
sion would then be empowered
to publish a list of books which
in the opinion of the committee
are harmfuj ?to minors5 and
should not be available to them.
The companion, bill would
make it a misdemeanor for a
distributor, his employee or
agent to "require any purchaser,
to . receive all of any certain
group of such publications or
any specified selection of vari-
term or other requirement of thff
sale or delivery or right to. re
ceive-any one Or more - m the
publications. r.
Violators of this law could be
punished by. a. fine up to $500,
a sentence of up to one year in
the county jail, or both fine and
imprisonment.
Sen. Merrifield said he intro
duced the measure after reading
newspaper articles and editorials
on the problem; talking with
representatives of such groups
as the Parent-Teachers Associa
tion, ; and after the Youth for

Budget Requests :
Asked To Be Kept
At Level of 1953
.v-' :-, '"- -. I :.
Salem (U.R) Sen. Howard
Belton, co-chairman of the Joint
Ways and Means Committee, to
day directed committee mem
bers to hold department budget
requests to the 1993 level vhen
ever possible. ;. - v
Belton, a Canby Republican,
said his mail had contained
numerous suggestions , that . the
state halt the "topsy - like
growth" of departments and ag
encies which each session in
crease their requests for funds.
Some Impossible
Belton said he realized that
holding the line on" some budgets
would be impossible beca use of
increased services, such as the
new teaching hospital and dental
school in Portland and. reduc:
tion of work Weeks to 40 hours
in-otheiS departments,"
' But be urged that subcommit
tees give close scrutiny to the
school census figures to uncover
possible over - estimates which
would require over - appropria
tion .of basic school , support
funds and , also a possible, revi
sion of tuition fees at institutions
of higher education. He partic
ularly mentioned tuition fees for
out-of-state students.
Public Seems Fearful
Belton said the public seemed
fearful the Legislature would
impose a state property tax this
year. But he pointed out that
such a tax would not require
legislation. It is already on the
books. He said that if such a tax
is collected, it would stem di
rectly from voter action in in
creasing school support, approv
ing a veterans bonus, and setting
certain fixed millages for school
support. ' '-;
1 The committee ' today - ap
proved tentative reports on 15
departmental budgets, most ( of
them operating on their own or
dedicated funds rather than out
of the tightly-pinched general
fund. . Minor reductions were
voted in the budgets "of. the
Board of Accountancy, the board
of. Architectural Examiners, the
Banking Department, the Board
of Control, and the Insurance
Department. Others were left at
the figures requested by depart

the United States favors atomic
warfare because it is less de
pendent on "the broad popular

guess. Soviet Foreign Minister
V. M. Molotov relayed to Pei
ping Britain's recommendations
that it accept the U.N. invita
tion. But whether Moscow itself
recommended the . move was
doubtful. '

State Department Silent -
Moscow also attacked the New

more outspoken and bluntly
suggested New Zealand with
draw its proposal and support
the Russian proposal. "; V
In Washington the State de
partmSnt said it would consider
any diplomatic move it deems
"useful or opportune" in an ef
