ment to rear admirals has been
appointed, and none of the OFF,
GERS who took part IN the recent
unification row was given a place
on it.
The board. named yesterday,

Navy General Board. 1t will meet
Monday.
There had been reports that
Admiral Richard l.. Conolly,
commander of naval forces in the
Eastern Atlantic and the Mediter-
ranean, would head the board.
He was one of the witnesses tes-
tifying in the recent House
Armed Services Committee hear
ing on Pentagon policies.
The board will recommend 18
for admirals of the line and four
others for engineering and aero
nautical duty.
Among the records of captains
who may be considered are three

Chang kai-5hek Flies

BY the Assoeiofsd Press

TAIPEH. Formosa, Dec. g.
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
titular leader Of Nationalist China
new to Sichang, Sikang. in the
mountain fastness of inland
Southwestern China today.
His flight preceded reports re-
ceived here in this new provisional
capital Of China that Communist
troops were within 60 miles OF
Chengtu. Until yesterday Cheng-

year. Chengtu airfields we're

Grave Problems Faced.
The Nationalists face grave eco
nomic problems here. The is
lands normal population Of 6.000.-
900 has been swelled to 7,200, ,000
persons by an influx of National
ists-army, navy, air and political
from the mainland. The is
land is not able and does not want
to support large mainland forces.
Many Of the islanders. in fact,
still want to be a part Of Japan or
independent OF the Chinese main
ianders.
Island defenders are well-trained
and strong.
Formosa lies athwart the sea
and, air lanes between the Philip
pines and Okinawa, both highly
essential in the American defense
plans for the Western Pacific.
The greatest problem facing the
island Is how long can Chang
Kai-shek's treasury support war
against the Reds? The National
lists are now almost without income
except from Formosa. Gold re-
serves brought from the mainland
are being expended rapidly. Soon

the burden will fall on Formosa.
The islanders can not support a
full-scale war against the Reds In
a nation of $50, ,000, 900 people and
maintain their own economy.
Industry Still Lags.
Formosa's Japanese developed
industry has recovered only par

industrial output this year will be

u. S. Doubts That Chinese
Can Hang Onto Formoso
By the Assoeioted Press

Top American officials were re-
ported fearful today that China S
Nationalist government, despite
its decision to flee to Formosa, will
not be able to keep that strategic
island out Of Chinese Communists
hands. .,
In consequence, many authori-
ties here believe that the United
States also probably will not be
able to do anything effective to
keep the Communists out Of
Formosa.
American policy In that area Is
a matter Of urgent concern in
the State and Defense Depart
ments. They are trying to deter
mine whether the United States
may not be able to 'neutralize"
Formosa at not too high a price,
or turn it into an active and CO.
operating part Of the American
defense system In the Western
Pacific.
The National Security Council
the Governments top policy max
ing body on foreign political
military issues, met here yesterday
afternoon and Formosa was be-
lieved to be one Of the subjects
taken up. It was learned that
both Secretary of State Acheson
and Defense Secretary johnson
attended the session. They are
regular members of the council.
State Department officials have
a strong suspicion that Chang
'Kai-shek is due to reap in For
mosa a prickly crop Of political
and military failures sowed since

tionalists from Chungking to
/ Chengtu. Most foreign diplomats
are now in the British crown col
ony of Hong Kong.
Hopes of the Nationalists to
wrest eventual victory from the
Reds rest with efforts to build up
strong guerrilla force in China
proper.
Premier Yen Hsi-shan, who flew
here from Chengtu yesterday with
IA cabinet members, said the Ma
tionalists were supporting 100000
guerrillas on the China mainland.
The Reds used guerrilla warfare
to great advantage in pushing the
Nationalists from Manchuria to
Canton in one year. The war has
been going on % years.
Spencer Moosa, Associated Press
correspondent in Chengtu, said
today that Gen. Chang Chun and
three other army leaders returned
there from Running. They had
gone there ostensibly to talk with
Yunnan governor and war lord
Gen. Lu Han. Lu had been re-
ported ready to go over to the
Reds.
Dispatches from Running
which previously said the Reds
controlled Kunming's airport, said
Lu met Chang and his party at the
airport. Lu later was said to have
fed to Tall, ITS miles northwest OF
Running.
Mr.. Moosa said Chang and the
three army leaders conferred with
Chang Kai-shek after their re-
turn from Running.
Hong Kong newspapers said
troops of Nationalist Ken. Pal
Chung-hsi had crossed. the Kwang-
Isl border into Yunnan to bolster
the defenses of the sagging Ma
tionalist province. There have
been many defections by Nation
aliStS in Southwest China.

Ohio Has Biggest
Industrial Gain

COLUMBUS - Ohio tops the
list of highly industrialized states
in percent gain of manufacture
ing employment since 1899. The
Ohio Development and Publicity
Commission has computed this
figure on the BASIS of U. S. De-
partment of Labor Statistics re-
Gently published by Business
Week magazine.
"Highly industralized," accord
ing to the Ohio Development and
Publicity Commission, means states
with a million or more employed
in manufacturing. On this basis
the Nations most industralized
states are New York, Pennsylva-
MIA, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan
in that order.
Ohio and ILLINOIS show substan-
TALLY equal gains. Ohio, with
$4,000 employed in manufacture
ing in October 1889 and 1,216,000
manufacturing employees in 1948,
gained 53 percent. Illinois, with a
slightly higher base, 100000 en-
ployees in 1889 and f,227,O00 in
1948 gained approximately SO per
cent.
The gain for the Nation as a
whole is given by Business Week
as 43 percent. Thus Ohio and IL
linois are well above the national
average. Michigan, with 684,000
in manufacturing in October,
1889, and $4,000 in 194s gained
46 per cent.
All the East except Delaware
had a gain below the national av-
erage. New York advanced from
l,3fJ,000 workers to 1,817,000, a
gain of 38 percent. Pennsylva-
MAS gain was 35 percent from
100000 to 1,476,000.
Percentage gains, of course, are
spectacularly high among some of
the states that had little industry
before the war. The leaders
counting only states with more
than 100000 in manufacturing
are mostly in the West and South.
Texas gained SO percent, but
even today has only $4,000
manufacturing employees. Mime
sofa with 2O70O0 gained IS per-
cent, and California with 741,-
600 gained ~ percent.
Evidence that industry is mov-
ing westward is mirroed in the
fact that three eastern states
showed gains far below the nation
al average: New Jersey gained
only % percent; Connecticut, 81
per cent, and Massachusetts q
per cent.

Warns Against
Rare Sausage

STOP! DON'T TASTE THAT
RAW SAUSAGE! Tasting raw
sausage to see if it is properly
seasoned is dangerous in Ohio!
Most of the cases of trichinosis
that have been investigated this
year, resulted from the tasting Of
raw sausage to determine whether
it was properly seasoned. This
tasting took place during the pro-
cess of preparing the sausage, or
just before cooking.
Hog killing time will soon be
here. Farmers are beginning to
think about butchering hogs for
their own use. Let's be reminded
of the dangers of eating raw
pork, or pork that has not been
we'll cooked - ALWAYS SEE
THAT PORK is WELL COOKED.
If you must season sausage to
your taste, do the tasting and
seasoning after the meat is well
cooked-never raw.

Mudhens Acquire
Pitcher Gentry

The Toledo Mudhens announce
the purchase of the fourth member
of their 1949 Roster in the per-
son Of Rufus Gentry, a right
pitcher, acquired from Dallas of
the Texas League.
Gentry, thirty years old, who
stands six feet one and weights
1876 pounds, has been member of
the Tiger Farm System for five
years. At one time after the 1914
season he was considered one of
the finest right-handed pitching
prospects in the American League.
Detroit originally secured Rufe
from Beaumont of the Texas
League in 1943. In 1914 he was
optioned to Buffalo but was re-
called to Detroit at mid-season
where he won fourteen and lost
twelve. Then came the event
which definitely affected him ad-
versely in two ways. Not salts
fled with the salary terms offer
ed him in 1945, he became a hold
out and such a determined hold
out that he spent the entire sea-
son at his home meath the
balmy North Carolina sun. AS it
turned out the Tigers won the
pennant in 1945 and Rufe missed
his potential World Series cut.
On top of that the years in in
activity apparently affected his
pitching. Since that time, al
though he has generally been a
better than 800 pitcher, lack Of
control has caused him many
downfalls.
Rufe spent a year in the Armed
Services and returned to Buffalo
in 1916 turning in ten victories
against eight defeats. In 1947
he was sent to Dallas of the
Texas League where he won
twelve and lost nine. 1948 saw
him with both Buffalo and Dallas
where because of his wildness he
was used mainly in relief roles.
Whether Manager Harry Lei
bold can restore Gentry to
his past effectiveness is yet
to be determined. It's known
that the big North Carolinian has
good strong arm. Therefore
his trouble must be mainly men
tai. However, Leobold's ability to
handle pitchers would lead one to
believe that 1949 offers Gentry
more possibilities than any other
year of his career.
