Now-just a word about the
newly organized St. Croix
Polo Association. AS you all
know, the people Of this island
have always shown a great in
terest in horses and equestrian
sports-and we also have a
genuine pride in our ST. Croix
horses. Therefore, it occurred
to one Of our island men, who
had played polo for a number
of years in the states, that IN
terest in Polo could be created
here-and to end, he acquired
four island thoroughbred
horses and started them in
training. From that modest
beginning, you7see the results

 The deck of the steel con- structed float will be of three inch by 12 foot blanks. The steel ramp will have II inch hand rails.
 Many curious spectators have asked w. J. Wheeldon and Morris Burnham what they were building. When they tell them it's an all-steel float many have shied away or raised a skeptical eye brow.

Stevenson Named Demo. Candidate

Chicago (P) = Governor Adlai Stevenson of Illinois was named the 1852 Demo- cratic presidential nominee. Senator John J. Sparkman of Alabama was named as vice. presidential candidate.
 ! Stevenson won the nomi- nation at the 11th session of the 31st Democratic conven- tion, meeting in Chicago. On the third ballot the party thrust it's banner to the 52- year-old governor in the eli max to a rowdy warning week of the various factions. A Stevenson-Sparkman tic ket gives North South repres- entation designated to salve some of the wounds of the bitter convention wrangling over civil rights.
 Senator Estes K Kefauver and Senator Richard Rus sell of Georgia, top rivals of Steven son, seemed to be in a race near the end of the balloting to see who could pull out first in favor of the Illinois gover- nor.
 Both yielded to Stevenson at the conclusion of the third ballot when Stevenson needed only three ballots for the nom- ination.

UNKNOWN WAR

"A bitter struggle between Nationalist Chinese an d
Communist Chinese is being waged on two little-pub
czed chains of islands, which extend almost 500 miles
along the Southeast of China The islands are
dered to be Nationalist Chinese territory though the
Communists outnumber the Nationalist troops at least
two-to-one.
Nevertheless, the Nationaists are tying down these
umercallysuperor Communist forces and reported
TO have seized the tactical initiative with Commando
raids which increasing steadily in size In addition
the Nationalist troops partially blocking the ports of
Annoy, Foochow, Swattow and Wenchow.
An estimated 900 regular Nationalist troops Com
mandos and gueras hold the main defense positions in
these islands against than 100000 Communist
troops in South Kiangsu Chekang and Feken Provinces
on the mainland 1T is readily apparent that the tying up
of such large number of communist Troops is of vital
importance in the overall Asian picture.
While the Chinese Communists attempting to de-
fe United Nations troops in Korea ia defeat the British
in Malaga and the French in ndoCina they also face
threat from Chinese Natonaists in Formosa and these is
land chains Thus each allied member of the team is con-
tanning large number of Communist troops which might

they should be retained by Nationalist troops at all cost

Homes Price
Still High

WASHINGTON R--The price of
homes isn't coming down any time
soon, the National Association of
Real Estate Boards predicted
here.
The associations report is based
on a survey of real estate boards
in 245 communities, it announced.
Ninety one per cent of the
boards taking part in the survey
predicted stable or even higher
prices for new homes during the
next six months; only 9 per cent
forecast prices would drop.
About so per cent expected
prices Of existing homes to re-
main stable, 10 per cent predicted
higher prices, the association said.

Uniform Code
OF Censorship
Is Promised

WASHINGTON, IA new, uni.
form system of censorship for all
the armed forces soon will become
effective in Korea. II also would
apply wherever American forces
become involved in any war.
The new regulations were an
nounced Thursday by the armed
forces.
Officials said they bring into one
uniform order most of the. separate
rules and practices enforced by the
various services in the past.
Most significant change is plac.
ing field press censorship directly
under the public information agen-
cieS of the services. Intelligence
and other staff units have had this
authority.
Although designed primarily for
overseas theaterS of war. the re-
gulations provide that censorship
may be enforced within the CONT
mental United States upon orders
by the President or secretary of
defense If the country has been or
is about to be invaded.
The new regulations include
these provisions:
Field censorship may be en-
forced Immediately upon a decla-
ration of war by the U. S., an
armed attack upon this country,
its territories. possessions or areas
occupied or controlled by the u. S.,
or after an armed attack on u. S.
forces anywhere. Only the Presi-
dent or SECRETARY Of defense may
remove censorship restrictions once
ordered.
CensoFable items include matter
of value To an enemy. anything
that would have an adverse effect
upon the cosnbat efficiency Of u. S.
or allied fbrces, and false or in
accurate material which would be
detrimental to u. S. and allied
forces and of service to an enemy.
The regulations forbid censorship
erdert d merely on the grounds OF
"polif y" or because of "anticipat.
d az Verse reaction BY the Amer.
san public"
