Is Formosa Essential
To China?

From t h Economic standpoint,
| China can function without either For
mosa or Korea, but from a military
point-of-view, they are more essential
to China than they are to the U. S.
! Money spent in that direction could be
spent to better advantage on the Polio
drive. China today is not what it was
! four or five years ago. Then we could
send our fleet into Tientsin or up the
the Yangtze river with impunity. We
can't do that today Yet, China would
stand about as good a chance to in
wade Formosa against our Seventh
fleet as kai-Shek would have to invade
mainland China.
Chang kaiShek was driven out of
mainland China, the strategic Hainan
island and some of his troops out of
Indo China. He is top-heavy with war
equipment furnished by u S. and could
MT even feed his troops without our
aid. His bombing of China coast and
and raiding of commercial shipping, is
Piracy on the high sea and is justified,
according to his version, that he is
still at war with China. 1t seems
strange that he is allowed to bomb
China to his hearts content, yet China
is prevented from doing anything about
it. She can't even cross the channel to
talk to him in a language he can best
understand.
We get out of Tientsin without los
ing a single boat. That's better than
Great Britain did on the Yangtze river
when she got out of China. We got out
of Indo-China, only losing half dozen
airplanes and a million dollars worth
of war equipment, lent to France. Now
we are down in Formosa, with our
back to the wall on the theory that it's
u. S. first line defense on our home
shores and vital to our National De-
Tense. When Malenkov and Mao Use
tung recently signed a Treaty of
and Military Alliance, the
squabble with kai-Shek was consid-
cred a local and internal affair, but
when an outsider takes stand like we
have in Formosa it may change the sit
lation and lead to serious results.-A.

Ike Studying Coop Taxes,
Treasury Man Says

NEW YORK President Eli
senhower has deliberately reserved
for further study the matter of CO.
op taxation, Treasury Undersecretary
Marion. B. Folsom told American
Management Association here, Au-

Folsom listed new coop taxes along
with capital gains and losses and per-
centage depletion allowances for oil
and mining industries.
Eisenhower, as a candidate two
years ago, said coop taxation had
been "well and soundly settled" by
the 1851 tax law. "Here," he said,

IKE ON SPOT BY
WILLIAMS

Special to Labor's Daily

LANSING-With a campaign grin
on his face, Governor Williams asked
President Eisenhower to confer with
him about "Michigan's unemployment
situation"
The President comes to Michigan
late in September to give Republi-
can candidates in the state a boost.
The governor is taking advantage of
the occasion to remind Eisenhower
that Michigan's unemployed now num-
Der $4,000 and to ask him what he
intends to do about it.
The governor said:
Designation of Michigan commu-
mites with high unemployment ratios
as distress areas appears to have had
little effect in obtaining federal con
tracts for idle plants.
"In view of the acute situation
here, it seems that every effort
should be made to give us any assist
ance available from Washington.
The governor reminded the Presi-
dent that changeovers for new auto
models would increase the layoffs
and thus make the situation more
acute than ever.

The National Bleeding
Process
By LOWNDES MAURY. Butte
Continued From Last Week.

Butte, the richest hill in the world,
in so years of fervent production, has
not produced So billion gross.
Congress voted IS billion for the
Marshall Plan. Part of this built the
Rhone Valley Authority in France Mr..
Roosevelt had planned five more great
valley authorities here. But the floods
of the Missouri still do vast damage
that might be prevented. When this
blood-letting was first suggested, said
in THE PEOPLES VOICE, it was
money down a rathole.
We sent SIS billion to Chang kai-
Shek Either by black market, or cap
ture, much of this went to the Com
munists When Macarthur destroyed
the Chinese power dams on the Yalu,
the arms that we had sent to Chang
were used to beat us in North Korea.
Besides the lives of our gallant boys,
the Korean war cost us probably SIS
billion.
What with the Marshall Plan, Ko-
rean War, Truman Plan, continued by
Eisenhower Atlantic Pact, Turkish Re
lief, Greek King Plan, Italian Election
Plan, slush plans abroad, we have
thrown down the foreign ratholes $40
billion.
Lately, Mr.. Eisenhower q destest
States, Harry or Ike in print), called
for a stretch of the debt limit by $40
billion. Congress voted a stretch of Sc
billion. At the same time, there was
more than SO billion appropriated, but
not yet spent in the Foreign Rat Hole
Fund, and Congress voted $2.9 billion
more into that fund.
Instead of recalling the SO billion,
and not voting out the $2.9 billion, and |
saving $50 billion, Congress raised the |
debt limit by Sc billion from $275 bill
lion to 1921 billion.

class was wiped out in that tragedy
when IA children were burned to
death in frame annex to the school

DTSGRACEFUL RECORD
Megel illustrated the situation by
noting that in New Jersey one-half
of all teachers certified in 1853 were
on temporary certificates. They were
not fully qualified but the schools
were so short of teachers they had
to employ unqualified persons.

to Pennsylvania where he said 1920

leader asked, Glow can your children
receive the education they are en-
titled to in the goth Century" in such
conditions?
In an interview with Labor's Daily,
Megel traced the development of the
school crisis, and its present magni-
tude, in these words:
For 20 years we as nation have
been setting a disgraceful record of
neglect in the education of our chill

are going to school in worn out build
ings, in overcrowded classrooms, and
are being taught by unqualified, over
worked school teachers.
SHORT 100000 TEACHERS
eve are short 100000 qualified
teachers. Temporary certificates are
being given to teach after completion
of one year of college work.
"Our total population is increasing
at the rate of 2.5 million a year and
our school population is increasing
at the rate of LIS million a year.
"This increase alone will require
$4,000 additional teachers each year
for the next 10 years. However the
supply of teachers for the coming
school year is even less than we had
anticipated.
"All in ALL" he summarized, "more
and more boys and girls are being
crammed into already overcrowded
so that teachers can teach
less and less day by day."

A motion to throw out the cleo
ton conducted during the City
Tournament last March, which also
included vote on the 1855 tourna-
ment site, was defeated by a vote
of BOIL. The motion was made
by Robert Haaser.
The slate elected will continue,
Mr.. McMaster ruled. 1t is Roy
Frye, president; Joe Bodnar, first
vice-president; Lou Engler, second
vice-president; Mike Hrupco, third
vice-president; Jack Bolte, fourth
vice-president; Rodney Granstaff,
secretary; Russell CedoZ, treasur
er; Joe Kott, Robert Gardner.
Donald Stevens, and Steve Kucsik,
executive board.
Voting on the officers in March,
in accordance with City Associa-
ton customs, were captains of
teams rolling in the 1854 tourna-
ment. In voting for location of
the 1855 tournament, Clinton Re-
creation received 40 votes, Vaca-
ton Lanes ID, EOD two, and Mar
blehead one.
Attending Sundays meet n G
were captains of 35 teams, and
seven Association officers, the
president having no vote. A num-
ber of non-voting bowlers also were
present. There are 126 teams in
the City Association.
A rumbling of friction in the
Association began shortly after
the 1854 tournament, and a special
June meeting was called by Off
GERS. Attendance was small, and
charges were made that notices
of the June meeting were sent
only to a 'hand-picked" group.
The charges we're flatly denied by
Secretary Rodney Granstaff.
Similar charges, filed with ABC,
led to the meeting Sunday. ABC
notified each team captain and
newspapers of the impending meet
ing.
Threats of ''filibuster" enliven-
ed the meeting Sunday and the
situation grew tense with person
ality clashes at several occasions.
But bowlers afterwards paid tri-
butte to McMaster for his deft
handling of the situation and there
was a unanimous hope that the
frank session will clear the air
here.
Secretary Rod Granstaff told
the group that he undoubtedly has
made mistakes in handling his job,
and that like any official in a
similar responsible position he will
continue to make errors from time
to time despite every effort. He
asked that any dissatisfied bowler
contact him personally with a con-
Structive criticism as to how to
improve the situation in question.
A letter will go out to each team
captain, shortly after the first of
the year, putting "cards on the
table" and asking for the bowlers'
suggestions on how tournament
locations are to be voted on, it
was decided at Sundays meeting.
Date for the 1855 tourney is
March 11-20.

operate effectively and efficiently.
There is much good instruction.
The spirit throughout the entire
school is good. The boys and girls
are alert and eager to help make
the schools more effective in their
lives. The orderly traffic through
the crowded Railways indicates
their desire to cooperate.
The library is a pleasant place
which is conductive to study as
we'll as to browsing. It is we'll

rather generous budget which is
very gratifying.
The art program, although some

1t could we'll be expanded in the
yeare ahead.
The commercial program is COM

You are to be commended for
your fine program imp hysical edu-

The program in industrial arts

You have an inspiring music

The local squad continued their
