10000 Nationalists Reach FOrnOsa From Indochina
By SPENCER MOOSA

TAIPEH, Formosa, LR = More than 10000 Chinese Nationalist soldiers long informed in Indo- china have been shipped secretly to Formosa, and the official Gen. tral News Agency said Tuesday they were conveyed part of the way by U. s. warships.
 Reports from Saigon said the Chinese were moved in ships without military escort. There was no confirmation of the. Gen. tral News Agency report0
 The Chinese fled into Indo- china when the Communists over ran the mainland and have been interned since early in 1949.
 The movement in Nationalist ships began in May and was com pleted on June 28.
 Central News said French war ships guarded the Nationalist ships in Indochinese waters and U. s. Warships then took over.
 The soldiers and their depen- dents had been held on an island 12 miles off the southwest coast of Indochina.
 Their arrival on Formosa was a closely guarded secret. Central News referred to them as "refu- gees" and said they were accom- modated in warehouses at receiv- ing points.
 Repatriates included Nationalist regulars, militiamen, students, government employees and de- pendents.
 CThe Nationalists appeared to be playing down the military angle. A Saigon dispatch said the movement actually involved about 30,000 Nationalist soldiers, that they were in excellent condition, and would be valuable additions to the Nationalist .army0

House, Senate Pass Reciprocal Trade; Fight Still Likely

WASHINGTON, R- President Eisenhower's requested one-year extension of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Law now has passed both House and Senate, but a fight still is likely before it reach es his desk.
 The Senate, in passing the measure late yesterday, knocked out of the bill a House provision which would add @ seventh mem Der to the Tariff Commission so as to give the Republicans a four to-three edge.
 This provision was put in orig inally to persuade key Republi- cans on the House Ways and Means Committee to let the meas ure go to the, floor.
 They are not expected to look kindly on the Senate's rejection of the plan to boost the commis- sion size.
 The Ways and Means Commit tee has been embroiled in the bit ter House fight over extension of the Excess Profits Tax. This might contribute to a dispute on the Tariff Commission issue when the Reciprocal Trade Bill goes to a Senate House conference to iron out differences. Top-ranking mem bers of the committee will serve as House conferees.

My own personal thanks for your ini- tiative and devotion to duty as NCOIC.
 ITO you, and to the people of Little Diomede, both Alaska and the nation owe their gratitude for continued vigilance and training in the spirit of the citizen-soldier."

Federal Fee Rise
Sought 10 Cut Annual
$50 Million Loss

The Government plans to
charge more for issuing Federal
licenses.
The United States now spends
$50 million annually on licenses,
but collects only $40 million in
fees.
To help balance the books,
Budget Director Joseph M.
Dodge has ordered all Federal
agencies to develop "a system
of fair and equitable fees" that
will come close to putting the
licensing work on a self -financ-
ing basis.
Mr.. Dodge said this is part of
the continuing effort of the Gov
ernment to reduce the cost to
the Federal taxpayer of those
services which provide special
benefit to limited groups of in
dividualS, businesses or organi-
Zations."
Among the fees that may be
increased are those on:
Certificates and licenses issued
by the Civil Aeronautics Board,
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the Federal Power
Commission; patents and trade
mark registrations; Securities
and Exchange Commission regis
tration certificates; and various
Agriculture Department licenses.
Mr. Dodge asked Federal agen-
cieS to complete their new list
of fees by February /, then allow
interested groups to comment on
them before they go into effect.
Mr.. Dodge said fee schedules
should be reviewed every two
years.
Some of the present schedules
have not been changed for 20
years.

DR.. Moron said he was both
happy and excited about the
program. This will give him
an opportunity to repay an oh
legation he owed to a native of
ST. Croix. Done in a large mea

life. The teacher that, in his
words, put the light in his eye
was DR.. Frederik Mac Far

1t was fortunate for him, DR..
Moron said. He told how DR..
Mac Farlane would invite the

feet while he explained the
different subjects contained in
cabls and papers of the day.
Night after night, day after

en- to so many groups and said
SO many things that he hardly
what else to say. He at first
thought he could have repeat
ed some of his statements in
81. Thomas but changed when
he noticed many of the faces
he had seen there coming in
to the hall here.
He expressed his joy at hav
ing met the father of one of
Hampton's outstanding stu
dents since his arrival. He also
brought greetings form the
students from the Virgin Is
lands at Hampton. He remark
ed on the friendfiness of the
people and the beauties of the
sites.
DR.. Eva Mitchell, was the
next speaker. She said one of
the things that impressed her
tremendously was the several
women she observed serving
on boards and commissions in
the Islands. She caused much
laughter and applause when
she said she had not come to
speak on the rights of women,
but was glad to see how active
down here.
DR.. Mitchell, known and re-
cognized for her brilliance as
an educator, then went on to
talk about the benefits that
can be gained from this pro-
gram for the training of teach
ers. It is no reflection on what
had already been done, she
said, and noted that some very
excellent students had come
to HAMPTON from the Islands.
Another Of the educators
who proved to be outstanding
was DR.. Brown, who is to
head the program. He asked
some very searching cues

the group was based upon the
needs and purposes for the vi
sit, and upon return to the
mainland will prepare a re-
port which will form the basis
for the type of program which
will best effectuate the. work
to be initiated.
DR.. A1onzo G. Moron, presi-
dent of Hampton Institute

sition of knowing the Islands
firsthand, being a native. His
formal training on the main

jaw, You are no doubt with me and Mr..
Sprigg and with my previous remarks about
the rich and their dubious honesty. Mrs.
Herbert Player had faxed the robbery story.
She was going to have her cake and eat it.
Claim the insurance money on the necklace
and then, some time later, quietly have it re-
set or broken up. Neat, but she was little
stupid not to think about the lipstick"
What did the captain do when Sprigg
told him all this?"
He blew his top the way any good cap
tain would, but since he had the reputation
of his company to think of he kept the police
out of it when they got to Rotterdam He
just held Mrs. Herbert Player aboard, on
some pretext, until all the passengers were
ashore and then he told her all that Mr. Sprigg
had discovered.
'Afterward, he added few remarks of his
own which must have stung her ears, and
then told her to collect the necklace from the
top of the wardrobe - if she hadn't already
done so - and get the hell off the ship and
think herself lucky that he was going to make
no report to the police She went without
word The talk about the police frightened
her."
And so it should Keep clear of the police,
say"
Sammy laughed But she did go to them
three days later. There was he'll to pay again.
For few wild moments she even talked of
sueing the steamship company"
But why?"
''On account of Mr. Sprigg. The necklace
she collected in hurry from the top of the
wardrobe she found later to be paste imita-
ton of her own substituted by Mr. Sprigg
who had come aboard all prepared She had
saved him lot of trouble by playing right
into his hands,"
looked Sammy straight in the eye, and
said, you seem to know lot about this
affair, Sammy. Could it be that Sammy Balm

and all the crew and stewards searched. But
there was no sign of the emerald necklace,
which wasn't surprising. There are lots of
hiding places on boat. You can imagine how
pleased this made Mrs. Herbert Player She
made the captains life miserable.
Then, after the first day of misery, some
one came to the captains rescue. He was one
of the irst-clasS passengers, Mr.. James
Sprigg. Apparently at one time he had been
Major in the Army Intelligence Corps and
was very interested in detection He intro
duced himself to the captain - all this the
passengers learned later - and asked to be
allowed to help. He as good as said he could
discover the thief and get the emeralds back"
We SAT there listening to Sammy's quiet
voice. He certainly told the story well and
we could see it all happening.
This Mr.. Sprigg had wasted no time With
the captains permission he had questioned
everyone again. Then he had asked the cap
tain to invite Mrs. Herbert Player to his
cabin for drink while he looked around her
cabin. Well, on top of the wardrobe just in
side the door, he found the emerald necklace.
At first, MIR. Sprigg thought that the crook
had been very clever. He had stolen the neck
lace and tossed it up there in the dark as he
left. 1t was safe enough place. The only
cabin which was not searched when Mrs.
Herbert Player made her loss known was her
own. The thief had only to take the necklace
from the wardrobe top when the ship docked
and Mrs. Herbert Player had vacated her
cabin. Getting it ashore in a place like
Rotterdam was easy.
But so Sammy said - the more MIR.
Sprigg thought this over the less happy he
was about it. The chief thing that made him
unhappy was the fact that Mrs. Herbert
Player had said the thief had snatched the
necklace from her neck in the dark. If that
had been done, and the man was working
roughly and quickly, it was certain that the
clasp would have broken. Well, the clasp on
this emerald necklace on top of the wardrobe
was intact and still fastened.
At first Mr.. Sprigg kept this to himself, but
from the captain he got hold of the handker-
chief with which Mrs. Herbert Player had
been gagged. 1t was large white linen mans
handkerchief, and it was brand new But it
was not the newness which interested MIR.
Sprigg. 1t was the cleanness of the handker-
chief. You see, except for folds and creases,
there was no mark on it, and Mr.. Sprigg could
not understand how it could
have been around Mrs. Her.

hour without being mussed
