chairman OF Cne
Senate committee made an i'm
promptu statement striking back
at the group of Republican Sena-
tors who insist that in the overall
appropriations for the Military
Aid Program money should be in
cluded for those parts of China
which are still fighting against
the Communists.
Senator Connally cannot be
blamed, however, for these incor-
rect and disparaging remarks. He
had been provided with ammuni-
tion by the State Department,
which is we'll aware that the So
called "pro-Chiang" group would
make a fight on the Senate floor.
Not Abreast of the News
The Texan, like many of his
colleagues, is far too busy to keep
up with all world events and prob
ably has only scanned the news
papers of the previous days. Had
he read them he would have seen
that American correspondents in
the Far East had cabled the story
Of Chiang's arrival at Chungking
and how, after sending his son as
virtual hostage to Running, he
induced the Yunnan warlord to
visit him at Chungking and to
settle their differences"
The Senator would have been
aware further-had he kept
abreast of the news-that when
Chang left Nanking last spring
with all China's gold in the face
of the Communist threat to the
capital, he was doing the newt
able. Senator Connally himself
could have done no different If
he had been in Chiang's shoes.
The $138, 10000 with which the
Texas Senator said Chang had
absconded, belonged indeed to the
Chinese government and was
taken to the one place Of relative
safety-the island Of Formosa-
where there is an army and a

joined the club quite by acci-
dent. I was wandering aimlessly
about the streets around midnight
when from the imly-lighted Rim
con Cordobessa came the sound
of much laughter, shouting and
singing. I walked in, and the place
was so tiny that I was engulfed
by what turned out to be enthu-
siastic members of the Pena Luis
Mata fan club.
Strictly = Hangout
Undoubtedly you have heard of
the bull fighter, Pena Luis Mata.
In case you haven't, let me tell
you that there probably aren't
more than 10000 better matadors
than he is in all Spain. But we of
the club think he's just grand.
even if some say he shivers and
shakes a little at the sight of
bull. I, myself, have never seen
him, nor had ever heard of him
until wandered into the little
cafe, but I am not telling his
devotees that. They'd fill me with
banderillas or, worse still, refuse
to allow me to patronize Rincon
Cordobessa, where the food and
atmosphere are right down my
alley.
1t is strictly a hangout for bull
fight fans. and bull-fight fan is
so times as rabid as any baseball
or football fan could ever hope
to be. The bartenders and walters
are amateur or semi-pro matadors
themselves, fighting on Sunday
afternoons in the small towns out
side of Madrid for little more than
carfare.
Often you have to wait half an
hour to get glass of beer be-
cause the bartenders. using their
aprons for capes and table knives
for swords, are out in the middle
of the floor demonstrating the
technique they hope will some
day bring them fame and riches.
The walls of the cafe, which is
no more than II feet wide at its
widest point, are covered with
what is said to be one of the
finest collections of old and
present-day bullfighting pictures

Liberia May Import
Cattle Of King Ranch

16. (ANP)-Santa Gertrudis cat
tie from the King Ranch, largest
cattle growers in the world, may
be sent to Liberia for cross-breed-
ing with native cattle. Frank E..
Pinder, top agricultural specialist
with the U. S. Economic mission
in Liberia, visited here last week
on a tour of inspection and ex-
pressed the opinion that the Santa
Gertrudis cattle would fit in ex-
ceptionally we'll in Liberia.
Native cattle in Liberia are
small and are what here in Ameri-
ca would be called "scrubs", Pin
der said. 81 can't say definitely
that the Liberian. and the U. s..
government will send this type
cattle to LIBERIA" but that is the
beef breed needed there"
Pinder left for Washington,
where he is to confer with John
W. "COPPER", secretary of agricul-
ture for the African republic and
who is now in this country for a
visit.
Pinder explained that the mis-
sion he is connected with is to
survey the natural resources and
recommend methods of developing
them. Presently, he said empha-
sis is being placed on developing
production of cocoa, coffee, oil
palms, coco-nuts, tropical fruits,
vegetables and livestock.
