Province the past lew days has stirred speculation that the Communists may be prepar ing an attack on island bases held by Nationalist forces off the coast. A nationalist official said Thurs day there is no indication that an invasion is near, but acknowledged that stepped up aerial attacks are aimed at disrupting any. plans the Communists may have. The official also acknowledged that a Red invasion could come with little advance warning. The most important of the island bases is quemoy. Just oft the Chi na coast across the Formosa chan nel. Next in Importance are the Tacben islands off chekiang, north ern anchor for the string of off shore Nationalist atrongpoints. -It is in the vicinity of the Ta- Chens that Nationalist fighters have clashed four times in the past week with Communist MIO jets. And it is in this area that Nationalist pilots claimed to have sunk two Red warships one of 1,500 tons and one of 800 tons this Week. U. Gen. Chiang Chin-Kuo. .the president's son who heads the de fense ministry's political section, said Thursday reports that non combatants have been evacuated from the Tachens are ridiculous. Another spokesman said "The Idea that the Tachens are as of this moment in critical or ser ious situation is false." The Tachens consist of three ma jor islands and about 300 islets. The big islands are heavily gar risoned and opinion here is that the Communists would have to be prepared for a comparatively ma jor amphibious operation if they hoped to overrun them. Military Aide Plans Meeting SAIGON, Indochina IB MaJ. Gen. John W. O'Daniel is expected to leave Saturday for Manila to discuss with Defense Secretary Charles Wilson eventual U.

The details of their talk, however, have not been officially disclosed. Ely was de scribed as firmly opposed to such a move during bis visit to Wash ington last month. O'Daniel broke his visit to Cam. bodia to attend the meeting with Ely and V. S. Acting Ambassador Robert McCuntock.

Are you In favor, of any re vision of the Oregon Slate consti tution? If so, how? 2. Who do you believe should build and administer the major power dams in the Northwest? 3. Do you consider the State Board of Control an effective means of administration? 4. If tax revenues do not meet the needs of the atate, what course of action would you recommend.' 5. What is your plan to promote tse diversification of Oregon in dustry? JOSEPH K. CARSON, JR. 1. I favor a revision of the consti tution of Oregon and have It con lain ia The state's general gov ernmental structure and (b) Hie fundamental grants of power un der which the people may directly or through the legislature enact laws for the common weal. 2. The federal government should build and administer the major dams on the Columbia and Its principal tributaries. 3. The state Board of Control can be an effective means of adminis tration of certain ministerial ac tivities of tile state government since Its spreads such work among three constitutional officers but it should not Impinge upon the ex ecutive functions' of the governor. 4. This question suggests so many facets it cannot be answered in limited words. I do not favor a sales tax. The word "needs" Is relative and can only be evaluated In light of conditions current when revenues arc found Inadequate for desired activities. If I am gov ernor I will Invoke power at my command or make recommenda tions to . insure the preservation of the state's financial integrity. 5. I favor a Department of Com merce and Industry with power to do any and all things necessary to promote diversification of Oregon industry. Such a department would exercise some of the functions now carried on 'by other state agencies. Cheap hydro-electric power is in dispensable to an effective pro gram. EARL T. NEWBRY 1. T believe in the sovereign rule of the people. The people now have the power to . make any amenc- ments and ' revisions to the Con stitution which to. them may seem necessary. Consequently, I am op posed to aconstitutional conven tion. . - 2. The federal construction of dams has been so successful that believe the federal government should continue to build them un- ! til it has been demonstrated that private enterprise can do equally as well. The proposed dams should be brought to completion as soon as possible in the interest of de- BIETHS SHAVER Born to Mr. and Mr. Danny Shaver.

Golden waflles, syrup, crisp ba con, pineapple or tomato Juice and colfee will be served st a waffle breakfast in the church parlors. Proceeds for such projects sre used each year for expenses of the church locally and for distribution to foreign missions. says n03EO7'Q. CO., 1500 ESPLANADE veloplng Oregon, 3. Yea. 4. Your question la hypothetical and anllcipnles a condition which does not now and may never exist, I strongly oppose new taxes ami believe In cutting goveinmcir.nl expenses to match Income. 5. Develop cheap power to the ut most. Encourage industry to lo cate In Oregon by removing bar riers and handicaps which stand In the way ol potential capital de veloping our resources. PAUL PATTERSON I. T recommended to the 1953 Legislature that they aubmll to the voters Ihe question of a consti tutional convention. An Interim Committee waa set up to study the matter, Instead. I have fell there should be a constitutional conven tion to overhaul Ihe complete Con stitution and submit a new one to the people. Should It be tho re port of the Interim Committee, however. that the Legislature should submit specific Items to the people for them to vote on, 1 would not object to a trial ol this procedure, to ascertain if It wl. succeed In this Jurisdiction. 3. If, by the word "major" power dams, is meant the large, multiple purpose dams on the Columbia River, then I feel that they can not be constructed without assist, unco of Ihe federal government The federal government should have a voice In the administering of these affairs until they are te- ruid for their investment and thereupon, the control of the Co lumbia River Basin affnlra should lie In the hands of the pcnplo In tho area. 3. The Slate Board of Control has been a good Instrument ol govern ment, but II is my feeling that It Is better to veal authority in a specified officer and then holfl him responsible for the satlsiac tury running of the institutions placed under his control. 4. Oregon's only two sources of Income are from tax revenues end licenses and fees. If tax revenues are Insufficient, we must increase the licenses and fees as far as pos sible. If this deficiency was amah during the blennlum. I would at tempt te handle It through deficit llnancing, but if it was large and of serious proportions there would have to be called a special session of the Legislature. 5. Diversification of Oregon In dustry can be obtained, first, by aiding on the atate level, in every way possible, the further fabrica tion of our basic products produced here: second, by making the gov ernmental and economic climate of Oregon as attractive to industries looking to the West as possible, in order that we may obtain them; third. Inventory all of Oregon's as sets that will be attractive to new industry, and make this Informa tion as widely available aa pos sible: fourth, cooperate and assist in all movements toward the at traction of new industry to this area; fifth, develop and have avail able all necessary power needed by new Industries. 1 2. 3. 5.
