Knovland Says Small Islands Are Vital Boston U.R) The Na tionalist Chinese offshore is lands of Quemoy and Matsu may be compared with West Ber lin as a "beacon of hope" to Communist dominated peoples, Sen. William F. Knowland said Friday night. "The fact is that Quemoy and Matsu are as important to free China as West Berlin is to free Germany," the California Repub lican said. .1 tlif a leaven o o o I S a busy little animal, with a great sense of family responsibility. The first thing a beaver does when he is ready to start a family is build a home . . . because beav ers know that a home is essential for the security and happiness of his family . , M lOST people feel the same way. They know that nothing can make a family so happy and secure as a home of their own. That's why home-building has . reached such a peak here In our own communities. NOTHER reason, of course, is the ease with which most families can find financing plans yy fit their needs and their budgets through their home-owned savings and loan association.

Shop and Save Medford Mail Tribune In a speech before a Taft me morial dinner, Knowland critic ized the administration's policy on the Chinese offshore islands as "nonsense." He said no one would maintain West Berlin, "a metropolitan is land completely surrounded by Soviet territory, is defensible." "We have felt it important, however, -to maintain this island of freedom in the heart of Soviet territory," Knowland said.. He criticized those "who be lieve that you can distinguish between a Communist assault on Quemoy and Matsu in and of themselves and ... as stepping stones to Formosa and the Pes cadores." 'Psychological Value' ' A frequent critic of the admin istration's Far Eastern policy, Knowland said the' islands have both military and psychological value "everywhere where people understand the brutain and ag gressive nature of Communism." The dinner honoring the late Sen. Robert A. Taft was spon sored by the Suffolk County Re publican club. Lloyd Taft, the late senator's son, defended "conservatism as an honorable thing." The 32- year-old Cincinnati newspaper executive said "integrity trans cends intraparty matters. Basil Brewer, publisher of the New Bedford, Mass., Standard Times, told some 750 persons gathered for the dinner, "were Bob Taft with us today, he would be supporting his col league and successor, Sen. Wil liam F. Knowland, in his For mosan and Korea policies." WEATHER By United Press Northern California Fair and warmer Sunday. West to northwest winds 10-20 mph hear coast.

Finletter Attacks Administration's Far East Policies Rochester, N.Y. (U.R) Tho mas K. Finletter, former secre tary of the Air Force, Saturday attacked the Eisenhower admin istration's Far East policy. He charged the U.S. threat of mas sive atomic retaliation against the Chinese Communists is a bluff that will not work. National Humiliation Speaking at the University of Rochester's annual international collegiate debate tournament, Finletter described the loss of northern Vietnam to the Reds as "a national humiliation for the United States." "We were put into that most unattractive posture of having bluffed and then having to back down" he said. "It is plain that the methods we followed in Indochina will not do as Far Eastern policy for the United States." Says War Possible Finletter added that the ad ministration's "bluffing" policy might be disastrous and "may even bring an atomic war with China and Russia." "The bluff part of this policy comes from the .uncertainty of purpose of our Far Eastern pol icy," he charged. He blamed this uncertainty on the government's following of "domestic American political considerations" rather than "na tional interest in all decisions relating to Asia." 500 Searchers Comb East Bay Hills for Missing Youngster Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) A 500 man search party composed of police, volunteers and National Guardsmen will comb the hills east of San Francisco Bay today in an effort to find Stephanie Bryan, 4-year-old Berkeley girl missing since April 29. Inquiry Fruitless The search again centered in the Bay Area after a two-day investigation in central Califor nia proved fruitless. The girl, daughter of Dr. Charles S. Bryan, prominent Berkeley radiologist, d i s a p peared on her way home from school. There was some specula tion that she may have been kidnaped. No New Leads The central California inves tigation came after a service sta tion operator reported that he saw a human body concealed in the trunk of a car, but polic could find no new leads. The attendant said he say "three human fingers" protrud ing from the truck of a car, whose description tallied with that given by eight other per sons who witnessed a young girl being forced into an automobile the day Stephanie disappeared.

Air Force Bao Micials Say EDaS DoscredlDtedl Washington U.R) Many high-ranking U.S. officials be lieve Bao Dai, Viet Nam's absen tee playboy emperor, has been thoroughly discredited in the eyes of the free world, well in formed sources said Saturday. Officials said the United States finds it impossible to be lieve anything will come of re ports that the 42-year-old emper- Wage Guaranteed Annual Woul Cost Firms $480,000,000 Detroit U.R) The CIO United Auto Workers Friday said its guaranteed annual wage proposal would cost General Mo tors Corp. and Ford Motor Co. a total of $480,000,000 during the next five years. A UAW spokesman said that is the sum the two major auto producers have been asked to put into reserve funds for pay ment of wages to idle workers. He said the figure represents a contribution of about $70,000,000 per year for GM and $26,000,000 per year for Ford. ' Both GM and Ford officials refused comment on the latest development in the union's battle to gain the GAW for auto work ers, a demand unprecedented in labor history. ' The union stressed that "the net cost of accumulating the re serve fund takes into account the fact that money paid to the fund is not subject to federal tax." The UAW spokesman said, "if this money were profits the tax on it would be 52 per cent. Therefore, the cost to the comp anies of money paid into the fund is 48 cents on the dollar." The spokesman said , the sum would "about equal" the amount each firm saved last year as a result of the elimination of the excess profits tax. The union contended that the death of the profits tax meant a savings of $175,000,000 for GM and saved Ford a sum equal to its proposed share of the cost of the five-year GAW plan. Protect Rights of Others, President Advises Americans - Washington (U.R) President Eisenhower advised Americans Friday night to protect the God given, inalienable rights of oth ers lest their own rights be lost. The chief executive partici pated in ceremonies dedicating a new temple of the Washington Hebrew Congregation, the oldest Jewish congregation in Washing ton. In the company of about 2000 worshippers, the President noted that the founders of this country believed all men were endowed by their creator with certain in alienable rights. These rights, he said, were God-given rather than the product of the birth of a new nation. "It is not enough to know that God gave these rights to you and to your neighbor," the President said in a brief speech which fol lowed Jewish Sabbath services. "It is well to remember this also," the President added. "You must not protect these rights only for yourself; you must pro tect them for all, or your own wiU be lost."

He is generally regarded here it was said, as lazy, self indulgent and even psychologi cally incapable of ruling. At a strategic moment, the United States may withdraw its reluctant recognition of Bao Dai as chief of state although no final decisions have been made, officials said. Paris reports said that Bao Dai had arrived there from his villa at Cannes, France, in the hope of seeing Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. It was re vealed that the State Depart ment, prior to Dulles departure to Paris Friday night, had re ceived an urgent request from Bao Dai for an official confer ence with the Secretary of State. High" officials privately have nothing good to say about Bao Dai. For example, they: 1. Agree with Sen. Mike Mans field D-Mont.), that Bao Dai has been trying to weaken Diem's government "by an undercover conspiracy that operates back and forth between the French Riviera and the city of Saigon." Millions From Gambling 2. Estimates, that Bao Dai has received millions from gambling and brothel and other conces sions in Saigon from the Binx Xuygen racketeering group that has controlled the city's police. 3. Recall information that Bao Dai was seen gambling in a French casino in Cannes the day that the beleaguered French out post of Dien Bienphu fell to the Communists in Indochina. 4. Point out that Bao Dai was picked by the French to be chief of state after he had collaborated during the war with the Japan ese and later with Red Leader Ho Chi Minh.

Dr. Byrne Warns of Teacher Shortages Portland (U.R) Dr. Charles Byrne, retiring chancellor of the state system of higher education, warned the Portland City Club Friday of an impending short age of college teachers in Oregon and added, . 'Maybe a well-devised junior college program will be the final answer in Oregon as it has been in California."
