And Planes Blast Reds
Massing for Invasion
BY the Associated Press

TAIPEI, Formosa, Jan. 16.-Of-
fetal dispatches reported today
that 100 Nationalist Chinese
planes and few warships pum-
meled Communist invasion craft
massing on Luichow Peninsula for
the invasion of Hainan Island off
the China south coast.
The attacks were designed to
cripple the Reds before they could
mount an attack on the big island
which served as one of the main
bases of Japan's wartime south
ward advance in the Pacific.
The reports said heavy damage
was done.
Artillery Duel Reported.
An artillery duel between Com

Swatow is a port city about 100
miles northwest of British Hong
Kong and 125 miles west of the
southern tip of Formosa.
The Ministry did not mention
ground fighting on Namoa where
the Communists have established
a beachhead.
The Ministry said Nationalists
on Limiting Island, near Namoa,
broke up an attempted landing
by about 5000 Reds in fishing
boats.

Told 7 Kinds Of Law
Rule Modern World

Two kinds Of law rule in the
world today-the law of fear and
the law of reverence, Msgr. John
K. Cartwright. rector of St.
Matthews Cathedral. said yester-
day.
Speaking before 1900 judges,
Legislators and others attending
the annual Red Mass in the Ma
tional Shrine of the Immaculate
Conception. Catholic University,
he declared:
Reverence, which comes out
of the conscience of man and needs
to be both enlightened and ami
mated by religion. is the basis
of the law of freedom, which can
function only when the masses
and multitudes of men revere the
law of freedom as the gift of God"
Msgr. Cartwright continued:
Law everywhere. makes use of
coercion and therefore imposes
fear But in the free societies
the fear operates against the
minority-such as the criminal.
In free society the good citizen
does not fear the law for he does
not intend to break it,"
Students and members of the
Catholic University Law School
also attended the mass, which is
celebrated each year to mark the
resumption of Wask by Congress
and the courts.
Celebrant of the mass was the

Synthetic represents 410,239 of
the total tonnage.
Absolute Security Impossible.
The report emphasized that
since the most critical raw mate
rial shortage of the last war was
in rubber, a substantial stockpile
of the natural product must be
built up. But, it said. absolute
security in rubber is as impossible
as it is in any other field.
The Government is operating a
rubber program now under a law
passed in 1948 and expiring at the
end of June.
That law barred the Govern
ment from getting rid of any war
time synthetic plants, but asked
the President to make recommend
ations by this January for dis
posing of them.
Accordingly, Mr.. Truman pro-
posed:
The President should be au-
thorized to dispose of the syn
thetic rubber facilities to private
owners, under conditions which
will protect the national security
and promote effective competi-
ton"
MonopoIies Should Be Avoided.
Monopolistic centra ton
should be avoided, Mr.. Truman
said, and the Government must
see that synthetic rubber is avail
able on fair and reasonable terms
to those who need it.
There are several kinds of syn
thetic rubber, some of them best
suited for special purposes, like
inner tubes. Most of the produc-
ton capacity-800,0 900 tons-is
devoted to general purpose rub
ber.
Mr.. Truman said he believes at
present that general service syn
thetic should constitute at least
fourth of total rubber consump-
ton, and mot less than 200, 900
long tons annually"
So. he said, he should have
power to set from time to time a
minimum level of production and
consumption necessary to the
national security"
Use of Tires Emphasized.
Also, he said, he should have
authority to require that general
purpose synthetic be used in GER
tain products-he didn't name
them-to the extent needed to
assure sufficient production and
consumption.
Mr.. Steelman's report empha-
sized that the United States lis a
Nation on tires" More than two
thirds of all rubber consumed here,
it said. goes into tires, tubes and
repair materials.
The report says it wouldn't serve
national security if developing our
synthetic rubber should "impov-
eriSh natural rubber producing
countries and thus make them
more susceptible to propaganda
adverse to the interests of the
United States"
1t is to this country's interest, it
said, to import natural rubber ION

maximum extent consistent with
the need for preserving a domestic

Mr.. Murphy"
Images of Decay"
The prosecutor questioned DR..
Murray closely about his state
ment that Mr.. Chambers writing
is filled with images of destruc-
ton and decay"-symptomatic of
his mental illness.
DR.. Murray said his study of
Mr.. Chambers output of poetry
and prose showed that 62 per cent
of his word pictures are in this
negative category"
Employing his usual tactic of
ridicule, Mr.. Murphy called for an
explanation as to what a "de-
SIl uCIlVc image Is.
If a policeman has a warrant
to enter a house and he goes and
breaks in the door, is that a de-
structive image?" he asked.
DR.. Murray said that if the
policemen simply pushed the door
open, there would be nothing
sinister about the work picture.

grants-in-aid money program for

The committee. was scheduled to
meet in closed session.
Federal aid proponents indiact-

versial Barden Bill for the time
being and attempt to get full COM
mittee action to send an alternate
proposal, already passed by the
Senate, to the House floor for de-
bate.
I The Barden measure, approved

session of Congress, would forbid
use of Federal funds in other than
unsupported schools-a provision
that provoked bitter reaction from
Catholic groups.
The Senate measure, in general,
would leave the distribution of
$500, 100000 year in assistance
to the States, in accordance with
their laws.
Chairman Lesinski of the House
Committee has announced discus

the idea made plain they wanted
to do some talking about it today.

Mr.. Lewis ordered the miners
on three-day week last July l
when the UMW's contract with
the coal industry expired.
Follow Illinois Pattern.
BY staying off the job today,
the striking miners followed a
pattern set in the first week of
1850 when 10000 Illinois diggers
quit work.
The Illinois mines went back
to work last Monday, but $4,000
others in seven States walked out
the same day.
There are indications in the
rank and file that some diggers
would not be averse to the Gov
ernment stepping in. Should the
President declare an emergency
exists and use the Hartley
Acts injunctive powers he could
force the miners back on a FIVE
