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.

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.

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."

Equipment Added
By Local Squadron
Of Civil Air Patrol
The Medford squadron of the
Civil Air Patrol has acquired a
new portable power unit, a desk,
a filing cabinet, and six sleeping
bags from Oregon wing supply
at Portland.
This equipment will be used
and will be available at the Med
ford CAP headquarters at the
Medford airport.
These supplies were picked up
in Portland and transported to
Medford by -the commanding
officer of the local squadron,
Capt. Marella Luschen, and the
coordinator of women's activi
ties, Lt. Bette Miller.
Visit CO
While in Portland the Medford
officers visited with the Oregon
wing commanding officer, Col.
Kenneth Jordan, who was con
fined to the hospital with a virus
infection which has kept him
hospitalized for the past three
months.
Col. Hugh Angle, the acting
commanding officer in colonel
Jordan's absence, assured the
Medford squadron that Oregon
wing at Portland would coope
rate in every way possible to

Forces day on May 22.
Captain Luschen and Lieuten
ant Miller stopped in Salem and

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.

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."

or who has been, residing on the
Frenqh Riviera rather 'than in
his homeland, will mend his
ways. 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."
Dr. Byrne said -the collegiate
faculty shortage will be particu
larly acute in Oregon because it
will be one of the four highest
states in percentage Increases of
college enrollment. '
The state now has 15,000 col
lege students. By. 1963 lt will
have 23,000, Dr. Byrne said.
Denying admissions would ease
the strain but would not solve
the problem, he added.
