TAIPEI, Formosa (API Red
China turned lis guns on little
Matsu Island lor the first time in
two years Sunday, heightening Na

the Formosa Strait.
A Nationalist olliccr and Iwn
soldiers were reported killed as
the Reds lohhed over 444 shells
at the offshore island group at
the northern end of the Formosa
Strait. The Nationalists said 102
Red shells hit Matsu. 112 landed
on near Peikantang Islaifd and 170
dropped ,into the sea.
The barrasc reportedly de
stroyed six civilian homes on the
two islands.
The Nationalist Defense Minis

minutes by effective counter-fire.
An hour before the fled guns
opened up on Matsu, in Commu
nist ships tired on Nationalist
warships which sighted them west
of the little island. The IJelensc
Ministry said the Nationalist ships
returned the fire and the Red
craft fled.
A few hours before the Reds
had hurled 84 shells at their us
ual target the Qucmoy Islands
150 miles south of Matsu.
It was the first lime the Reds
have shelled Matsu since April 28,

Peikanlang with 23 shells in a 14
minute barrage last Wednesday.
Nationalist circles have been
predicting for several weeks that
the Reds might try lo stage a
new crisis in the Formosa Strait
lo warn the West there could be
trouble in this area unless conces
sions arc made to the Soviets on
Berlin and Germany.
Foreign observers are inclined
to make light of such fears.
Rear Adni. Liu Hoh-tu, spokes

clined to say whether he thought
the attack was a prelude to major

Matsu less than 4 square

The news pushed up the prices
of gold mining stocks Friday on
he New York Stock Exchange. In
London, the price of gold bullion
in the free world reached its high
est point since postwar trading be
gan live years ago.
The obvious implication was
lhaf speculators expect the Uniled
States to raise the price it will
pay lor gold, another way of say
ing it will devaluate the dollar.
But Treasury officials here scoff
at this suggestion. Devaluation
would be a last resort, they indi
cate, taken only in case of dire
circumstances. And such circum
stances are nol foreseen now, they
say.
But officials do show concern.
Some action would have to be
taken il gold keeps up its steady
outllow. Last year, $2,300,000,000
worth of gold a record moved
out of the country.
According to law. the Ircasury
must have enough gold to cover
at least 25 per cent of the money
supply. Last year, there was
enough to cover 47 per cent. Now
there is only enough (or 42 per
cent.
International trade accounts for
the shut of gold. The United Stales
has been importing large amounts
ol guods and services. But there
has been a big drop in exports.
And it is continuing.
Because ol this. Ihe past year
and a half has seen the United
Stales pay out more money than
it is taking in. To balance these
international payments, gold has
been taken from the United Slates
and transferred to foreign banks

GENEVA (API - K all the
world perhaps knows, reporters
are not sitting in on the Foicign
Ministers Conference. Newsmen
get their information secondhand,
Irom spokesmen for the lour pow
crs known as briefing officers.
The Western briefings are pret
ty much routine. The Soviet trie!
ings are something like a film
test. Reporters get shot Irom ev
cry angle.
For some reason, Soviet and
east European photographers take
lar more pictures ol correspond
ents than they do of the Soviet
delegation's official spokesman
Mikhail karlamov.
Even when the Soviets produced
such a diplomatic star as Deputv
Foreign Minister Valerian onn at
a Dress briefing their cameras
switched from correspondent to
correspondent.
The Soviet briefings take place
on the second floor of the press
center. The room is huge, high
ceihnged and well lighted. Flood
lights play over the big audience
ol journalists Ironl all over the
world.
Ask Karlamov a question and
vou're nearly always shot. Or, just
sit there and lake notes and you'll
find a movie cameraman training
his lens on you.
One Western reporter asked one
of the Soviets why they seem so
preoccupied with taking pictures
of newsmen.

laconic reply. '
Ship Owners,
Dock Chiefs
Negotiate
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Pa
cific Coast longshoremen and ship
owners start negotiating a new
contract today and the big issue
appears to be the question of man
vs. machine.
More and more, mechanization
is moving onto the docks.
More cargo is being pre-packed
away from the docks in giant con
tainers that go to shipside as trail
er vans. The huge containers are
hoisted aboard by powcrtul cranes.
Even ships are being modified
to handle cargo vans of up lo 40
ton capacity that rest on trailer
beds and are ready for the high
ways when Ihe ship docks.
ror two years Harry Bridges
independent International Long-
horemen s and Warehousemen s
Union and the employer group, Pa
cific Maritime Assn., have dis
cussed mechanization as it affects
labor.
Both sides have done research
I the problem. Mechanization
also is sometimes called conlain-
crization, or unitization, or auto
mation.
The longshoremen About 17.000
strong on ihe Pacific Coast have
made it clear mechanization is the
big issue.
The ILWU newspaper, lne Dis
patcher," recently carried this ban
nerlinc: "Longshoremen demand
automation benefits."
In a story about the ILWU con
vention at Seattle in April, the pa
per sain: 1 His caucus action
made it clear the lorgshorcmen are
going to seek Ihe job security and
increased wages made possible by
mechanization and are prepared to
fight to prevent the kind of situa
tion which has developed in oilier
industries where new techniques
have led to large-scale unemploy
ment.
The newspaper said the Inng
horemen approved a mechan
ization plan "which provides for
an hour's straight lime pay to be
placed into a lunti for the regis
tered men lor every hour of pro
duction that is saved by any and
all improvement factors as meas
ured against past performances."
An employer group oflicial de
clined to say what he considered

but said there has been considcr-
aolc discussion for two years of the
mechanization problem.

He said Hip union is agreeable

hut dockers leel they should "have
a slake in savings that accrue
from cheaper cargo handling."
Both union and employer sirarc
es say Bridges hopes lo develop
profil for labor from mechaniza
tion, and in turn expects that long
shoremen must accept more flexi
bility in assignments to fill out a
day s work.
A PMA representative. John D.
MacEvoy, said the employers are
not prepared to reveal any de

would be paid S7S a month for
planting trees, fighting fires and
limber diseases and insects, con
structing small dams, campground
and recreation facilities and other
work.
Humphrey told'the committee the
program would "very nearly pay
lor itself in ' terms of increased
timber productivity alone."
He' said the proposal has warm
support from such people as judges
of probate courts, welfare workers.
secondary school educators and
those who daily work with young
people in trouble."
They believe, he said, "that a
conservation corps would go very
lar in channeling young people
away from the direction of delinquency."
Among witnesses was John Mo
han of Helena, Montana, national
commander of the Veterans ol For
eign Wars. He said the CCC built
responsible citizens and good sol
diers in the last generation.
Conrad Wirth, National Park di
rector, said the old CCC did good
work in the parks. He recommend
ed that any similar program be
based on the dignity and value
of conservation work, on the need
for work" and not on the unem
ployment factor.
Sen. James E. Murray D-
Monti offered the services of the
Senate Interior Committee staff
"in every possible way in mar
shaling the facts and information
needed." He is chairman of the
Interior Committee.
Murray said the CCC did a "tre
mendous amount of effective con
servation work" in Montana and
elsewhere during the depression.
Ihe proposed organization would
have an advantage because more
is known now about resource de
velopment needs than in the 1930s,
Murray said.
Murray said the Youth Conser
vation Corps could plant trees on
560,000 of the 48.000,000 acres need
ing reforestation in the next 10
years.
In addition, he said, 11 million
acres ol forest lands need prun
ing. thinning and other treatment
535 flood prevention structures and
10 stream pollution control proi
ects should be built; and four mil
lion acres of lorest range need
revegetation or control of noxious
plants.
