In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS After what this morning's dis patches refer to as an "unprece dented" meeting of the National Security Council held in Denver yesterday (Sunday) Secretary of States Dulles, wno has just re turned from a trip to the Far East, tells the reporters: "We'll FIGHT if the reds attack Formosa." Why will we fight for Formosa? Well, it's like tins: In Formosa, we're In the posi tion of the small boy who draws . line in the dust with his toe and tells his adversary not to cross it. If his adversary takes the dare and CROSSES the line, the small boy HAS TO FIGHT or lose the respect of all nis pais. We're in the same position as to Formosa. When we went to war in Korea, President Truman threw the U.S. fleet between Formosa and the Chinese mainland with or- ' ders to FIGHT auacKea. Those orders still stand, If the reds attack Formosa and we FAIL to fight, they will Inter pret It as proof that we won't fight under any circumstances. Once the reds become convinced that we won't fight we'll either HAVE TO FIGHT to disabuse them of that notion or we'll have to retire to our hole and pull the hole in after us. That's about the long and the snort of it. Let's add ft word here about the National Security Council. It Is our highest administrative policy-making body on the all-im portant subject of the security of our nation. It is composed of the President of the United States, who acts as its chairman, the vice- president of the United States, the U.S secretary of state, the U.S. secretary of defense, the U.S. di rector for mutual security and the chairman of the U.S. national se curity resources board. Other than the congress, it is our court of last resorl as to what shall be done to preserve our na tional honor and our national safety. Bo When the Question of what we will do if the reds attack Formosa is referred to the National Secur ity Council we must take it for granted that there is a grave pos sibility that the reds WILL attack Ana When the secretary of state of the United States says 'after a meeting with the National Secur ity Council that if the reds attack Formosa we will FIGHT we must assume that we are facing the showdown. If the reds want war, there will be war. That is about it. Reds To Free Applegate "This Is the happiest day of my me, were the words of Mrs. Prank Applegate. Medford.

Oen. Ralph W. Zwicker swore Monday he told only the truth and had no idea of being arrogant at a hearing before Sen. McCarthy last Feb. 18. And he said he couldn't remember muttering that McCar thy was an "S. O. B." But McCarthy's attorney, dur ing cross-examination, contended that Zwicker's testimony Monday was "inconsistent" with his testi mony last February. McCarthy testified last week that the gen eral at least "mlstated the facts" last February. . These new conflicts went into the record as the special Senate committee considering censure charges against McCarthy moved through perhaps the last day of it hearings. One of the charges against Mc Carthy is that he abused Zwicker, a World War XI hero, in question ing him last February 18 about the honorable discharge given MaJ. Irving Peress, an Army den tist. McCarthy calls Peress "fifth amendment Communist." Zwicker testified Monday that at the time of the Feb. 18 hear ing, he knew Peress had failed to give testimony before the Mc Carthy subcommittee and had claimed the fifth amendment against self-incrimination. McCarthy's attorney, Edward Bennett Williams, said this was inconsistent with the answer given by Zwicker Feb. 18 when McCar thy had asked: "And you knew Ten Die In Plane Crash WESTOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Mass, Ifl A plane Mon day headed from this base to Thule Air Base, Greenland, with medical supplies for the five sur vivors of a plane which crashed Sunday with the loss of 10 lives.

It crashed about a half mile from Th u 1 e Base, 900 miles south of the North Pole, while making an emergen cy landing. Maj. Huly Bray of the Atlantic division Military Transport Serv ice reported 10 of the 15 persons aboard were killed: Their names were withheld pending notification of next of kin. Bray said the plane had left Westover a few days ago and was on a regularly scheduled flight out of Thule when its commander de clared a "state of emergency" 12 minutes after becoming airborne. Bray said It was the first fatal accident in more than 4,000 flights made by the Atlantic division MATS to Thule since the north country airlift started in 1951. More than 35,000 passengers and 55 million pounds of supplies have been transported. FALLS, OREGON, MONDAY, SEPT. 13, 1954 1 generally that he (Peress) had re fused to tell whether he was a Communist, did you not?" Zwicker's reply at the New York hearing was: "I don't re call whether he refused to tell whether he was a Communist." Zwicker said Monday he did not feel this was Inconsistent. He said he had known in February that Peress had-' refused to answer some McCarthy questions, but that he had no knowledge of any of the specific questions. In quick succession, the tall, erect general told the special cen sure committee: 1. He has searched his memory carefully and has no recollection of muttering at the February hearing In New York that McCar thy was an "S. O. B." William Sportsmen Ask License Change SEATTLE OR A trl-state agree ment calling for reasonable and uniform non-resident hunting and fishing license fees was urged Sunday by the Washington State Sportsmen's council.

J. Harding of New York City testified last week he h e a rd Zwicker make that comment. 2. He "had no intention of being evasive, arrogant or irritating when McCarthy questioned him behind closed doors about the Pe ress case. The senator, his own star defense witness last week, told the censure committee only last Friday that he considered Zwicker "one of the most evasive, arrogant and irritating witnesses" he had ever seen. S. He was acting under explicit orders from higher-ups not only in handling the Peress discharge, but in declining to answer some of McCarthy's questions about the case. 4. He did not recall that he had ever discussed McCarthy with MaJ. Gen. Klrke B. Lawton, for mer commander at Ft. Mon mouth, N, J. Lawton testified Sat urday he had the impression from conversations with Zwicker that Zwicker was "antagonistic" to the Wisconsin senator. 5. The case of Peress first came to his attention August, 1953, and he was the one who gave Peress's name to the McCarthy investiga tions subcommittee in January, 1954. Peress, a dentist, .was dis charged in February from Camp Kilmer, N. J., which Zwicker com manded. The letter ordering his discharge was dated Jan. 18.
