MAIL TRIBUNE
More Wishful Thinking
A General Wu, interviewed in US News & World
Report has a new idea for clearing the Reds out of
China and restoring Chiang Kai-shek.
No. 1: He would have Chiang reform and broad
cast the details of his reformation to the Chinese
people to-wit: ' v
No more corruption, no more landlordism, restora
tion of a true and honest democracy in the Celestial
kingdom. - ,
No. 2: Chiang with his 600,000 troops conscript
enough Formosans to bring the total to a million or
more, and then with the aid of the U.S. fleet and air
force invade the Chinese mainland.
.
yHAT would be the result? . .
According to General Wu, an uprising; of the
Chinese masses in support of their democratic libera
tor, extermination of the hated Red oppressors, no
resumption of the landlordism and corruption . by
Chiang and a happy return of China to the society
of free and independent nations, released from Rus
sian dominance, and in league with the West
THAT certainly "listens well" as, the saying goes.
And one serious obstacle to the return of Chiang
Kai-shek would be avoided. That would be need of
U.S. troops, U.S. action being confined solely to the
sea and air where this country, is strongest.
For as far as anything in this uncertain world can
be certain, no one in this country, as of today at least,
would ok an all-out land war with China. . . ,
In other words the job of liberation would be done
by Chinese, Chiang's million-men army, his" air force,
and the millions of Chinese civilians who would rise
to his aid the moment he landed. '
DUT would they? -r X ' ,
General Wu thinks so. 1
- And while he parted with Chiang Kai-shek on the
issue of corruption he is all for him it he will clean
house and return to, his original democratic principles.
But this reformation Mr.i Wu insists must come
FIRST. For it was corruption, landlordism and gen
eral disregard of the people's interests, that led to the
communist victory and the, forced exile of .Chiang to
Formosa", in the first place. X
yELL there is the Wu program very briefly.
And judging by the prominence given it by U.S.
News and World Report that popular magazine at
least must believe there may be SOMETHING to it.
Well we hope there is. .;. :v
If with only the aid of the 7th fleet and part of the
US airforce, Chiang Kai-shek; could return to the
Chinese mainland and drive out the Chinese Reds,
supported only by his own people, that would, we
believe, suit the administration and a majority of the
American people just fine. - "
e . ' ,
THHE only fly in the ointment we can discern is we
" doubt if anyone in any position of power or in
fluence in this country with the possible exception of
Senator Knowland of California, believes it. V Cv
It is we fear just more wishful thinking only on
the part of the Chinese instead of the "Yanks" this
time. R.W.R.
Joe versus Ike
The campaign to secure the renomiftation of Pres
ident Eisenhower is starting early.
Hardly a day passes now that some prominent
Republican doesn't announce tnat the President will
agree to run again, and no one can beat him.
. .
There is a reason for this. For the anti-Eisenhower
campaign started even earlier. In fact it was
started the day Senator McCarthy of Wisconsin , at
tacked the President and apologized to the American
people for ever asking them to support him, - V
v That this was no sudden impulse, generated in
passing pique and anger, was clear then to those who
were on the inside of the plot to "get Ike." Joe doesn't
act on impulse, he is a calculating and shrewd poli
tician. . " :
The recent anti-Eisenhower gathering in Chicago
on Lincoln's birthday, high-lighted by another left
handed attack on the President and his policies, by
the Wisconsin Senator, removed all doubt, however.
ALREADY conservative and peace loving mem
"bers of the GOP are urging party unity in the
face of increasing Democratic activity and next year's
convention and election. . r. v
Ik is doubtful, however, if pleas for harmony are
effective. For when it comes to vindictive nursing of
a personal grudge, the Wisconsin Senator has few
rivals. It is, and always has been, "rule or ruin" with
Joe, and unless all signs fail, will be this time. .V.
In fact before very long the Republicans are,
without doubt, going to have to make a choice-for
some a difficult one whether they are going to be
for Ike or Joe, they will no longer be able to be for
both. ' :-:Vl;:r - y :. '
It will be interesting and instructive to see how the
various members and factions line up, when the final
roll-call is sounded! R.W.R. V

Matter of Fact
HALFWAY TO HEAVEN
North Tachen Island One of
the casualties of the. latest, free
world retreat in Asia is a place
called Half
way to' Heav
en. Halfway to
Heaven perch
es,,, or rather
used to be
p er ched, on
the cratered
summit of the
highest peak
of North Tach
Joseph Alsop
en I s 1 a n d,
some 1,500
the surrounding,
feet above
nourishing sea. :,
It began a little, more than a
century ago, when the first
harsh . impact of '-. the modern
world on. ancient China pro
duced the T a i p i n g , rebellion,
which in turn produced a fear
ful famine in Chekiang prov
ince. Fleeing the famine, a hand
ful of inhabitants of the Chek
iang town of Wan Tiing found a
safe .rufuge on this island crag
and stayed to build a village, or
rather two villages, for the les
ser of the two adjoining craters
contains, Little Halfway to Heav
en, and the larger, Big Halfway
to Heaven. f , - - : w
For five generations, sons suc
ceeded fathers, gradually clawV
ing new terraces from the crater
walls . and. naked .mountainside
for their plots of vegetables and
sweet' potatoes, graduaUy add
ing vessel to vessel in Halfway
to Heaven's fleet of fishing sam
pans until there were 130 sam
pans owned among the hundred
families of peak dwellers.
The bitter poverty of the orig
inal refugees thus slowly;, gave
way to a kind of crude prosper
ity. Long, low houses of chinked
stone, with finely carved, boldly
curved ridgepoles were built to
cling to the crater sides. A little
temple to the Taoist earth god
lings gave the villagers some one
to 'pray to When times were
hard. The young men fished all
year. . The elders -. ,the children
and the women tilled the ter
races. " -V ' .
With salt and cloth from the
big settlement' ,on South Tachen
Island, with their fish and sweet
potatoes and vegetables, with.la
rare treat of meat from the pigs,
chickens, rabbits and goats they
also kept, the. people of Halfway
to Heaven were not'iU-content.
But for a. hundred years n6 out
sider ever saw Halfway to Heav
en, except the people from Door
of the Wind Hill, the viUage on
the .other side of the crag, and
the . huge, superbly winged fish
eagle that had his nest on the
cliff below the village graves. -
THEN President . Eisenhower
"unleashed Chiang Kai-shek"
and the American 7 government
pressured the Chinese National
ist government into occupying
the Tachens by force. Soothe
soldiers came, barracks were
built, and Halfway to Heaven
briefly tasted an unfamiliar un
easy prosperity. And then again
President Eisenhower releashed
Chiang Kai-shek, and the Amer
ican government-pressured the
Chinese Nationalists into aban
doning the Tachens; and ) that
was the end to Halfway to
Heaven. V ;
- In the Chinese way, the, end
came without undue lamenta
tion. The viUagers talked It over
and decided that what they had
heard of communism from their
fellow fisherfolk from the main
land was ugly, enough to justify
a move. The government said
it would help. And soj on the
afternoon before the move was
to be made, no one was weeping
except the wife of the elder of
the Leng family. She was deaf
and could not read, - and she
wept because she had grasped
that a move , impended but no
one could teU her why or where.
The elder of Leng, a little, old
gnarled, toothless .man like a
withered; root, with what must
really be the last queue on any
Chinese head, was .ignoring his
weeping wife. He and the elder
of Chu and the young men and
boys of Little Halfway to Heav
en were sitting in the pale, wa
tery sun in the village center,
while. the women finished, their
packing. Yes, they said, they
were leaving.' Yes, it was hard to
go, but they did not want to
stay. They had swept the graves
one last time, and now they
were ready.
It was the same in Big Half
way to Heaven, where is found
the house of the place's richest

Hard-Fought Campaigns Seen
Around these incumbents and

man, Cheng who owned three
whole sampans in the fleet that
used to saiKfrom the foot of
Knife Back Mountain. He had
enough capital stored up to open
a ' restaurant when the soldiers
came, and his Chinese crullers
and hot soya bean milk brought
him in the magnificent cash
profit of two dollars a day. But
Cheng too was leaving without
reluctance. '
As dusk feU, the village headman,-Lo
The Clever, came back
from organizing the evacuation
of all North Tachen Island
Kwan Yins Village, Bare Rocki
the East Village, and the rest-r
which were aU to be led by Lo.
He had his aged mqther to calm
and his household to organize,
for Lo The Clever is a widower.
So he let his deputy, Hung give
the movement orders to the
chiefs of the "Sections" of fifty
or sixty people into which the
viUage, by immemorial Chinese
custom, is administratively di
vided. '
THE meeting took place in the
upper room of the house of
Liang, a big house, for the Liang
clan was the largest in Halfway
to Heaven. A score of men,
young and old, stood around the
table .their . faces work hard
ened, ' their black peasants
clothes worn, making a picture
fit to be painted by a. Chinese
Breughel in the yellow light of
a guttering taHow,candle. Hung
read the movement order in a
brisk singsong.
Departure would be at nine
the next morning. Each section
leader would be responsible for
his section. Each person would
be allowed to carry 100 pounds
of. persbnal belongings if he
could manage that much. "J
. 'There were quick questions;
How about bad weather at sea,
from a weatherwise fishernian;
how about pregnant women,
would they get medical care on
the ships, from a young father
soon to-be; and so on. Hung
dealt with the questions intelli
gently. And then everyone went
home for ..a great feast of all the
food that could not be sold to
the soldiers, was not worth car
rying, and was no longer worth
scrimping against a poor season.
! Before dawn the next morn
ing, the young men of the vil
lage set off down th mountain
side, :' each balacing . two enor
mous packs on his back. At
first Lo: had a little trouble
forming the line to his taste. 1
Then the last shout was given.
L'ittle Liang marched, proudly
forward. ; Children , shouldered
the; babies. Men and women,
young or old, hoistefi up their
h e a v y packs.; Even the old
boundfeet grannies carried some
thing. But none complained. And
so the slowly moving line wound
its way up over the chater lip
and down the long miles of fear
fully curving fearfully mud
slimed road to Yellow One
Beach where, the transports
awaited them. '
An old nanny goat and her
two kids, which had somehow
escaped the pot, was being
chased by two soldiers when the
last- of those who had made
Halfway to'Heaven a living
breathing pi ace of habitation
cast his last backward glance
into the familiar hoUow on the
mountain summit. The greatfish
eagle still magnificently vol
planed in the cloudy sky above.
But the doorways of the houses
were dark and deserted. The
muddy : lanes were strewn with
the rubbish of departure. Half
way to Heaven was dead killed
by forces it did not understand,
utterly destroyed because it had
been briefly swept, by what
strange processes and chances,
into the fearful vortex of great
events.

contest, such as that of Walker,
Idaho Republican, these six are
the states in which both parties
recognize the strongest possi
bility of winning seats they do
not now have or. losing seats
they do have. The one-vote mar
gin by which the Democrats now
control the Senate is at stake. .
If the reported recruitment
effort by President Eisenhower
to get Gov. Paul Patterson to
run against Morse and Washing
ton's Gov. Arthur B. Langlie to
run against Magnuson is true, it
is generally regarded on Capitol
Hill as the shrewdest of moves,
even if a bit early to be leaked
publicly.
Patterson's Name Mentioned
Virtually every Republican to
whom -this reporter has talked
here since the recent election
mentions Gov. Patterson's name
first when the question is raised,
"Who is going to run against
Wayne Morse?", Yet without ex
ception, there foUows an expla
nation that . no one has any
inkling that the governor, mid
way through a four-year erm
at the Salem state house, wants
to run 'for the Senate so soon
after bing elected to th governor
ship. ." ' " ; . ''
In Democratic circles the
hope has been expressed that
the GOP standard bearer will be
Secretary of . Interior Douglas
McKay, popular as a governor
but, they feel, now . politically
vulnerable as head of a depart
ment in which they claim the
"give-away" of government na
ural -resources has been -centered.
;
- Although the results of the
last election, in which two Dem
ocrats were elected to Congress
from Oregon with Morse's cam
paign backing, tended to boost
Morse's political strength as
evaluated by political observers,
it is also pointed - out that the
senator never really . has had
a -tough election fight on his
hands since first elected to of
fice, v, . . .
One Question Mark -
There is one question mark
in the minds of some oldtimers
here about the political wisdom
of the President taking any
hand whatsoever in the selec
tion- of party candidates for
Congress. Some recall that Pres
ident Roosevelt got ! burnt in
such an endeavor, that Presi
dent Truman couldn't sway an
election even in his home state
of Missouri. ". , - .
-p "What - these" experiences of
past Presidents may mean in the
context of' the tremendous pop
ularity President Eisenhower
continues to hold as he heads
toward the end of his first four
year . term in office ' is a riddle
for the cracker barrel artists to
answer. :'
But few, here seriously ques
tion that Eisenhower, however
reluctantly, will again head the
GOP ticket in '56 a considera
tion of no small importance to
Patterson or any other Republi
can who may emerge as Morse's
next challenger.
