The Chiang government be gins its second decade with an island vastly changed from the drowsy, underdeveloped land which greeted the gen eralissimo and his two mil lion followers when the Com munist Chinese drove them from the mainland at the end of 1949. Industry Booming The textile industry is boom ing; steel production is re ported at 240,000 metric tons annually; there is an island wide hydroelectric and therm al power, system; U.S. inter ests have poured capital into new industries - automobiles, diesel engines, electric ap pliances, timber products. Agriculture is still the main stay of the island's economy. Native-grown rice, vegetables and meat products are suf ficient to feed the 10 million people, almost 80 per cent of them native Formosans. It is conjectural, however, wheth er this situation will continue in the face of the rising birth rate here. Floods Deal Setback One economic setback was dealt by the floods of last August, when the island suf fered an estimated $103 mil lion loss in crops, industry and private property. More than 1,000 persons were kill ed. Most of the credit for For mosa's forward progress goes to the United States, which has poured more than one bil lion dollars in direct aid and military and technical assis tance into the island in the last 10 years. The defeated Nationalist army which arrived 10 years ago from the mainland also has been rejuvenated by the Chiang government. Mass retirements and a big conscription program during the last three years have etch ed a young face on the 600,-000-man force which trains night and day on Formosa and guards the Quemoy and Matsu offshore islands. The defense ministry says the average age of Nationalist Russia Expected To Test 8700-Mile Rocket in Pacific ; Washington - (UPD - Military sources are speculating that Russia is going to test the 8,700-mile range rocket which Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev told Sen. Hubert H. Humph rey (D-Minn.) about a year ago. Such a missile would exceed the demonstrated range of America's Atlas by 2,400 miles. U.S. military men say however that if need be range of the Atlas could be extend ed. The possibility of such a Hatfield Would Sell Portland Office Building Salem-flinV-Gov. Mark Hat field thinks is would be a good idea to sell the state of fice building in Portland. The building, he said, has been perhaps the state's big gest liability because it is in a constant state of repair. The structure opened Nov. 1, 1951 and original estimated cost was $2,575,000 including real estate. Hatfield declared at a Board of Control meeting that when he was secretary of state there was about $50,000 worth of "patchwork" done to the building. Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. also has been forced to pour large sums of money into re pair work. Employees Could ' More The board approved another $5,000 in repairs to be made after it was found that cedar blocks left in win dows by workmen t absorbed water and caused 250 window sills to corrode. Stainless steel window an chor straps have also been found to be corroding. Hatfield said that the state agencies now housed in the Portland building, at least heads of some .department, should be moved to Salem. He said a plan for hous ing the Capitol Mall could be submitted to the 1961 leg islature if a decision were reached to sell the building. The next structure sched uled for erection in the Cap itol Mall after the Labor and Industries building now going up is the Transportation building. Russian test was one evalua tion in military circles fol lowing the Moscow announce ment that a "more powerful rocket" would be fired into a Pacific area midway between the Hawaiian and the Gilbert islands between Jan. 15 and Feb. 15. The Russians have warned shipping and aviation of the impending shot. Russian tracking ships are expected to be in the area, an indication of the Soviets' confidence in their accuracy. Military men were inclined to emphasize the weapons po tential of the huge rocket while some civilian space agency sources thought it would be connected with Rus sia's man-in-space efforts. Regardless, the Russians would want to test their equipment's ability to re-enter the atmosphere after such a long flight. Up to now they have not, it is believed, fired a surface-to-surface rocket to the distances spanned by the Atlas. Rectangular Area Experts noted that the 44, 800 square mile area marked off by the Russians as their testing ground was a rectangle oriented toward their known missile and satellite launching center east of the Aral sea in Turkistaff. The center is at Tyura Tarn. It is about 8,200 statute miles from the target area. When Humphrey was in Moscow. Khrushchev told him the Soviets had a missile that could carry a five megaton warhead over an 8,700-mile ranse. The senator relayed the information to President Eis enhower who later indicated to a news conference he saw no reason to challenge the claim. It has been pointed out freauentlv that the 6,300 statute mile range of the Atlas is entirely adequate to reach all Russian targets from the continental U. S. bases now under construction. enlisted men is 26.6 years. Gen. Peng Meng-Chi, chief of the general staff, is 52. His principal staff commanders are even younger. A new conscription law re ducing the draft age from 20 to 19 recently went into ef fect. It was expected to offset the number of veterans who will be retired in the same period and maintain the over all strength of the military forces. According to available of ficial figures, about 30 per cent of the Nationalist soldiers are native-born Formosans, all drafted since the Chiang government moved to its is land exile. FORMOSA CHANGED A tower rises above the five-story brick building that is headquarters for President Chiang Kai-shek and seat of the Nationalist Chinese defense ministry. The building is located in down town Taipei. The Nationalist government is beginning its second decade on Formosa with the island vastly changed from the drowsy, undeveloped land which greeted the Nationalists on their arrival. (UPI Telephoto) Criminal Career Said Hard Work Syracuse, N.Y. - (LTD - Dr. Lloyd E. Ohlin, an authority on juvenile delinquency, says errant youngsters do not re alize the hard work necessary for a career in crime.

Flu Shot Inquiry Of Doctors Urged Washington -WD- The Pub lic Health Service does not expect the current rash of influenza outbreaks around the country to mushroom to the size of the 1958 Asian flu epidemic. Nevertheless, Acting Sur geon General John D. Porter field urged persons over 55, individuals with heart or lung diseases and pregnant women to ask their doctors wneiner they need flu shots. The Health Service advised persons who develop flu symptoms - fever, aches and sore throat-to go to bed and call their physicians. There is no specific treatment for the ailment, officials said. Government labora tory tests show the outbreaks in Ohio, Michigan, Texas and Hawaii to be Asian flu. The same may be true of cases in Tennessee, Kentucky, Califor nia, Nevada and Utah.
