First Matador
Guided Missiles
Reach Formosa
Taipeh, Formosa (U.R) Vice
Adm. Stuart Ingersoll disclosed
today that advance elements of
a Matador guided missile unit
already have arrived on this is
land base to defend its against
possible Communist attack.
Peiping radio, in the first
Chinese Communist reaction,
said America's act of turning
Formosa "into a base for atomic
weapons constitutes a menace
not only to China but also to
peace in Asia and the world
Monopoly Said Lost
It said "the United States has
already lost its monopoly of
these weapons" and "anyone
who should dare to use atomic
weapons would bring destruc
tion upon himself." The broad
cast said the Matadors would not
! l l - -r, j - ' ,i
silage txea inina s aeierminauoa
to "liberate" Formosa.
The Matador can be armed
with an atomic warhead and is
capable of reaching major Com
munist air bases in South China,
major Communist invasion
ports and such Chinese cities as
Shanghai, Nanking and Canton.
Called 'Squadron'
Jngersoll, head of the Taiwan
Defense Command and U.S. mili
tary commander on Formosa,
told a news conference today
that personnel and equipment
for the ground-to-ground mis
siles are in Formosa. He said it
would be proper to describe the
unit as a "squadron."
He said the presence of the
Matadors should not be inter
preted as meaning the Chinese
Communists have missiles on the
mainland across the 100-mile-wide
Strait of Formosa but he
said there is a Communist build
up and "the missile is the logi
cal step to deter plans of Red
aggression or aggression itself
should it occur."

Lowry Appoints
Fish Subcommittee
Salem (U.R) A subcommit
tee to study the best means of
correcting abuses of commercial
fishing licenses was appointed
late Tuesday by Sen. Philip Low-
ry, Medford Republican and
chairman of the Senate Com'
mittee on Natural Resources,
with instruction to report find
ings back to the committee
Thursday.
Sen. Lowry said everyone was
agreed that abuss must be cor
rected but there was a difference
of opinion as to the method.
The abuse which is sought to
be remedied by legislation is the
purchase of commercial fishing
license by a sports fisherman
so that he can catch more salmon
for his personal use or disposi
tion than he would be allowed
under his cheaper sportsman's
license.
Sen. Lowry named as mem
bers of the subcommittee, Sens.
Andrew J. Naterlin, Newport
Democrat; Walter C. Leth, Mon
mouth Republican; and Daniel
A. Thiel, Astoria Democrat.

Investigation of
North Dakota Riot
By FREDERICK MOHN
United Press Correspondent
Bismarck, N. D. (U.R) Prison
officials today began an investi
gation into a four-hour riot of
200 rebellious convicts which
was broken up by a flying wedge
of prison guards who charged
the mob with guns blazing.
Three guards were wounded in
the charge, but four other guards
were released from parts of the
North Dakota State Penitentiary
where they had been trapped.
The convicts seized complete
control of the penitentiary about
mid-morning Tuesday, and only
lost control in the rush of guards
firing rifles and tear gas shells
into the air.
10 Thought Responsible
Warden O. J. Nygaard said he
had a "pretty good idea" that 10
convicts were responsible for the
riot, but he did not identify
them.
This reporter talked with five
convict leaders through a barred
window of the administration
building at the height of the riot.
They charged that guards stole
money and valuables from their
cells and that one guard taunted
them with stories about their
wives and sweethearts outside
the prison walls.
This guard, the convicts said,
touched off the earlier sitdown
strike in the prison twine factory
which erupted into the full-
fledged riot.
Nygaard said he would ignore
the convicts' charges, which he
labelled cooked up accusations.
School Construction
Measure Gets Ax
Washington tU.R The econ
omy ax fell on the school con
struction bill today and chopped
out $500 million. .
The House Education and La
bor Committee, nearing final ac
tion on the measure behind
closed doors, voted 23 to 3 to
cut the program from $2 billion
to $1,500,000,000.
Rep. Samuel K. McConnell
Jr. (R-Pa.) said he proposed the
cut because the smaller pro
gram would . have a better
chance of passage in the face pf
the congressional economy
drive.
In any event, he said, the bil
lion and a half "will do the job
as well as $2 billion.
Higher Education Budget Awaiting Holmes' Signature
Wisconsin Debating
McCarthy Successor
Madison, Wis. (U.R) Wis
consin, politicians today began
opening their big guns in the
heated battle to choose a suc
cessor to the late Republican
Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy.
GOP state senators were to
meet shortly before the Senate
opened its regular session today
to draft legislation permitting
Gov. Vernon Thomson to appoint
a successor to McCarthy.
'Mrs. Jean McCarthy, 31, the
senator's widow, was suggested
by Rep. Alvin O'Konski as a
possible successor.
Democrats, however, called
Republican talk of a Senate ap
pointment a "trial balloon"
which "Democrats will shoot
down."

Salem (U.R) The Oregon
Senate late Tuesday unanimou-r
ly passed House Bill 59, provid
ing a $44,216,386 budget for the
state system of higher education.
It now goes to the governor.
Sen. Jean Lewis, Portland
Democrat, said the Joint Ways
and Means Committee had cut
some $600,000 from the recom
mended budget, but still includ
ed more than $2 million for ac
ademic salary increases.
Losing Valued Members
She said this was important,
because the institutions of high
er learning had been losing val
ued academic staff members to
other states. She said an increase
in academic salaries of from 20
to 25 per cent would put Ore
gon in better competitive posi
tion to meet outside challenges
for key personnel.
The budget represented an in
crease of 27 per cent over the
budget for the current biennium.
The Senate passed several
other Ways and Means measures,
including budgets for the State
Industrial Accident Commission,
Department of Insurance and
state fire marshal, . State Land
Board, Legislative Counsel com- Hydroelectric commission, anrl
mittee, Oregon Real Estate d- State Department of Veterans'
partment, state engineer. State Affairs.
