Show "It EPSON IN WASHINGTON Seems to Have Calmed Down Somewhat" U. S. Missiles on Formosa Pose Propaganda Problem PROVO, UTAH COUNTY. UTAH, FRIDAY, MAY 24. 1957 By PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON (NEA) Announcement that U. S. Matador guided missiles are now in position on Formosa for defense of that island has loosed a new Chinese Communist propaganda drive. Its purpose is to accuse the United States of preparing: an atomic attack against the Chinese mainland. The fact of the matter is that stationing- U. S. Air Force guided missile units on Formosa is intended solelv to deter the Rede Chinese from making any attempts to take the island by force, lhis is why the move was made public and not kept as a military secret. 1957 Is a Good Year for Graduates posite each other in the struggle, can in definitely bear the tensions it has produced. Here at home the President's record peacetime budget is a central issue. But most of the attackers direct their fire at . the flanks. The core of the difficulty S SI massive defense programs largely baffles lawmakers in both our major parties. In the Soviet Union the strain of the arms race with America, plus the continuing effort to catch up with our remark-ablproductive industrial economy, has led to political and economic problems of a high magnitude. Changes are in prospect which could threaten the very system they seek to spread across the globe. In consequence there seems a real disposition against war and toward a softening of attitudes that might bring it on. That does not mean Russia intends to yield its dreams of conquest. The Communists simply are looking to other avenues to pursue their course. So the world faced by 1957's graduates still contains the long range menace of an ambitious tyranny. But it is a bit more stable in the sense that the prospect of ruinous nuclear warfare seems lessened. Within our borders, opportunity beckons the newcomers as never before. Business scouts comb the campuses for anybody with half a talent or more. The nation's economy goes on growing in pace with the country itself. As the politicians back and fill in generally futile efforts to alter the blunt facts of the East-Wes- t power struggle, eager and imaginative men respond to the challenge presented by an economy that almost daily makes exciting strides forward into new areas.

When feverish yet careful workers reached him some 24 hours after the mishap occurred, they found Benny miraculously alive. Doctors guessed a peculiar combination of circumstances had preserved his life. An oxygen tube dropped down the well landed close to his nose. By accident (falling asleep) or good sense not looked for in so young a boy, he did, not waste strength in talking or stirring about. Chill sands may have helped induce sleep. Sand piling up did not press on his chest to suffocate him. All the nation rejoices at the happy circumstances that brought Benny from the well alive, and heaps praise on the patient, diligent rescuers who declined to give up even when all seemed lost. ot seven-year-ol- IS d Kill of flesh, is certainly no house pet.

A . mef.n-temper- ed RUTH Ml LLETT SAYS Keep Romance in Marriage Just because a young married couple is tied down with small children doesn't mean they can't manage to keep some moonlight and roses in their marriage. A wife writes to tell me how she and her husband contrive candlelit dinners for two, even though they can't afford a baby sitter. 'She says: "When we were first married it wasn't hard to manage an evening out at least once a week. "But with our budget stretched to cover two children, there isn't enough money for us to hire a sitter and have dinner at a nice restaurant more than a few times a year. "But we didn't want to give up those 'dates' we enjoyed so much. So once a week we set the stage for a date at home. "We give the children their supper and put them to bed and then together we cook a wonderfuf dinner, served on a small table in tiie living room, by candlelight, of course, and with dreamy dance music playing. "During these evenings we save for ourselves we don't talk about anything unpleasant or any serious problems. But we do a lot of talking 'the kind we never seem to have time for during the rest of our hectic week. NEED IMAGINATION MThe reason I am telling you about it is because I know a lot of young couples think they can't have any fun or gaiety if they can't afford to get away from home. "Maybe some of them would like to try our plan. It's amazing how much it does to keep a married couple feeling close together and very much in love." Some young couples complain about heing "tied down." Others discover that any period of marriage can be romantic iif a couple has a little imagination and a zest for living in the present.

I'lJ turn a deaf ear to all other offer from Wall Street!M Hunters bull will not harm a human, usual ly unless he has been molested. A tiger, unless he is hungry. But for downright cussedness, power and fierceness, big game hunters tell me that nothing will surpass the black buffalo of South Africa. This mammal, found from the Cape of Good Hope to the Congo, often known as the "Cape" buffalo, is exceedingly powerful and this power is backed up with enormous muscles, massive head and horns almost as strong as steel. He is never in good temper and will charge at almost anything that is alove. The only way to escape certain death is to get out of his path as quickly as possible. And adds, Jerome S. Meyer, in his book of Amazing Facts (World, N. Y. "more hunters have been killed by the Cape Buffalo than by any other anywhere in the world." . j To get back to the cobra, the king cobra of Siam is the most poisonous living thing In the world. Its glands are larger and its fangs can deliver more deadly venom Uian any other animal or insect. In most instances, the bite of the king cobra proves fatal within three hours and often death occurs in less than 60 minutes. The venom of the cobra dissolves and paralyzes the nerve cells, seriously damages the blood cells arid acts on the respiratory system, causing slow suffocation while the heart becomes overstim-ulate- j all-o- cer- tainly that distinction must go to the whale the largest of all animals of the past or present. There is an instance on record in which a comparatively small Antarctic killer whale, in an attempt to attack some sleigh dogs stranded on an ice floe, dived deeply under the floe and swam very swiftly upward with such force that the ice which was nearly five feet thick, was splintered into tiny fragments. In another record, Captain Nelson tells that while on a whaling expedition off the Siberian coast when his boat made fast to a giant blue whale, the animal pulled the boat for seven hours at a speed never less than eight knots (about ten miles per hour) although the boat's engines were pushing it full speed in the opposite direction. "Another thing, Signor March," he said. "You will be able to recognize the boars by their tusks. There are a lot of sows in the woods, too, but they will leave you alone and I would pre fer that they are not shot. We like to kill only the boars. And they are dangerous. When you see a boar coming for you do not lose any time in shooting." We went through the gate and it was closed behind us. We walked in a group down to the edge of the woods. Then we began splitting up into small groups, each fanning off by it- Oriental public opinion would le if the V. S. should use atomic weapons again this time against Chinese mainland military targets. It was admitted at the start that such an attack would not be another Hiroshima or Nagasaki attack on a city. Still, a lot of people might get killed. Wylie made his own poll among Americans and Europeans he met in the Orient. Among these, he reports: "All but one an English editor agreed and could not be shaken from the opinion that any such assault by this nation would cost the free world the last shred of a diminishing sympathy in the Orient and all Asia. "THE ENGLISHMAN thought that the Red Chinese, though doubtless at first enraged, would ultimately react with respect for the Atomic Tiger and a new hope for their own liberation. That was also the view taken at d home by a few 'old China hands'." But Wylie concludes that : "When we left Hong Kong, I was certain it was a mistaken view." Wylie explains that, "My question, of course, always assumed that the U.S.A. first used such weapons. For no one would deny America the military right to reply with nuclear weapons to nuclear attack. ... . ,. i jdui we Americans are nronp to fiisrptrurH tho iivitta fact that the U. S.

The young of the blue whale, incidentally, can be 25 feet long at birth and weigh up to 14,280 pounds. As for the largest land animal, that distinction goes to the bull African elephant which stands 11 feet at the shoulder and may exceed 14,000 pounds in weight. (In the U. S. the largest wild land animal is the bison, which if my memory serves me has weighed up to 3,000 pounds.) Yet, for its size the smallest of all mammals, the shrew, is a deadly killer.

Whatever it was, I was soon outfitted with the proper clothes. I went into my room and changed. Enough of my old habits stuck with me so that I put my shoulder holster on beneath the hunting coat. I felt safer with a gun nestling beneath my arm. "Tallyho and yoicks," I said to myself in the mirror. We got into the gun house and everyone started picking out his gun. Everyone but me.

JUST A FEW days after the Matador announcement was made the Chinese Nationalist government on Formosa announced that 600 rounds of heavy artillery had been fired on the coastal islands of Quemoy and Matsu in the heaviest gun battle of the year. Ifthe Red Chinese should launch an attack, the Matador is an almost perfect answer. It has jet engine giving it a speed of over 650 miles an hour. Its range is 600 miles. From Formosa to the mainland is 100 miles. So if the Reds want to start anything from their bases within 500 miles of the coast, the Matador with an atomic warhead could knock them out in an hour's time. THE DECISION to base Matadors on Formosa was made after long and careful consideration of what the psychological warfare effects of such a counterattack might be. A clue to this is found in Philip Wvlie's latest book, "The Innocent Ambassadors." Before he left for the Far East, Author Wylic was called to Washington. He was asked to sound out what M.
