Red Action
Off Formosa
Reported
TAIPEH. Formosa W A sharp
increase in aerial action off China's
Chektang. 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.

ment from Ely. The details of

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.

Candidates For Governor
Answer Voter's Questions
Through the ..courtesy of the
League of Women Voters the fol
lowing reprint from the League's
Portland publication is reprinted,
tjl'l S1IONS ASKED
CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR
1. 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-

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.
