Next morning : reported for
briefing at 6 am. Col. w. Nit
chell. wing commanding officer,
came briskly into the briefing
room and the buzz Of conversa-
ton died down as he began to
talk.
Though Col. Mitchell did not
say so, we knew President-elect
Eisenhower was in Seoul and that
his presence might possibly draw
an enemy air attack. The colonel
told us our job was to set up
defensive fighter patrols to dis
courage enemy aircraft from ven-
turing south of the Yalu River
until after Mr.. Eisenhower left
Seoul. which, I believe, was later
that day.
was flying No. 2 to Maj. Jack
Saunders, our squadron opera
tions officer, and was second to
take off. plotting Sabre F86-F.
We quickly climbed to about
$4,000 feet, following the west
coast of Korea over the Yellow
Sea toward the mouth of the
Yalu River. 1t was a clear. cold
day. The sun was high overhead
and slightly to the south. Visi-
bility was excellent.
When we neared the Yalu's
mouth. we started eastward on
our patrol. parallel to and about
20 miles south of the river. Mine
was the top flight, at $4,000 feet.
The others were to operate at
levels ranging from 10000 down
to 10000. There were three
squadrons on this mission, with
four flights of four aircraft each.
We had patrolled once and
were half way along on our sec
ond milk run when the pilot
flying No. 3 reported: Cobra
one, this is Cobra three, there
are some trails at 10 o'clock and
above"
Maj. Saunders quickly snapped
back: Roger. I see them, keep
your eye on them!"
Sights 20 MICS.
A few minutes later 7 could
see about 20 MICS flying west
over the Yalu in string forma-
ton in two's. Their method of
operation, 1 knew. was to peel
off in two's, dive through our
formation at high speed, curve
to the right and dive back into
China again. They figured we
would pursue them. Their idea
was much like that of a runner
trying to steal second who can
rush back and be safe on first.
I saw two MICS peel off. cross
the Yalu and make for us in a
roaring dive. I cooked my wing
to the left as I saw them ap-
preaching and they passed un-
me. with their guns
blazing. I was in a perfect posi-
ton for a bounce-an attack
from above. reported over the
radio: Cobra one, this is Cobra
two. two MICS below going to
three o'clock, cover mel" This
indicated that I was going to
lead an attack on these planes.
AS I started into a dive for
the attack, / suddenly realized
I had received no reply from
Maj. Saunders. I dropped wing
for an instant to see if he was
coming with me and to my
astonishment found he was turn
ing the opposite way. This meant
we would be split up and that I
would be going into the attack
alone. Normally we fight in
pairs.
More MICS Come In.
I reversed my turn to join
the major. He was now off my
left wing and from that direc-
ton could see more MICS COM
ing in. Maj. Saunders appar-
emily had decided to go after
them. still did not know wheth-

Chang Insists
He Fight for
Rest Of Islands
Nationalist Leader
Makes 1t Plain He
Expects U. S. Help
By the Assoeiaied Press

TAIPEI, Formosa, Feb. A.
Generalissimo Chang .Kai-shek
expressed his determination to-
day to hold the rest of the Chi
neSe Nationalists' offshore is
lands and made it plain he ex-
poets the United States to help
him fight for them if the Chi
neSe Communists attack.
I'm no case" he asserted,
would the strategic islands Que
moy and Matsu be abandoned.
Gen. Chang met newsmen at
Nationalist headquarters here
after the Reds Peiping radio
triumphantly announced "liber-
alton" of the Tachen Islands,
evacuated by the Nationalists
last week with the aid of the
United States 7th Fleet. Peiping
boasted it placed Red soldiers
ION vantage ground for liberat-
ing TaiWan (Formosa) and other
islands off the China coast"
CA later Chinese Communist
broadcast, heard in San Fran
cisco, charged that inhabitants
of the Tachens, Yu Shan and
Pishan Islands had been "ab-
Quoted" by Nationalist troops
assisted by American armed
forces.~
Won't Yield Nanchishan.
Contrary to some reports, the
Nationalist Defense Ministry an
nounced it had no intention OF
evacuating Nanchishan, 40 miles
north of Formosa and now the
main northern Nationalist out
post.
The Ministry said small
number of dependents and civil
ians had been removed and more
would be removed, but that no
troops would be withdrawn.
Nanchishan is % miles from
the mainland. When newsmen
visited the island last year about
1000 civilians were there. The
size of the garrison was not re-
ported.
Gen. Chang smiled contented-
1y as he faced the largest news
conference held here since the
Nationalists fled the mainland
in 1949.
You newsmen fear the islands
will not be jointly defended" he
said softly. But I think the
matter is very clear"
Specific ON Islands.
Gen. Chang referred to QUE
moy and Matsu specifically in
written replies to seven questions
submitted by newsmen. He added
informally:
LAS a matter of fact, whether
Kinmen tQuemoy) and Matsu
will be defended is very clear to
us. and to the Communists very
clear"
His written reply had said:
with regard to the question of
the Joint defense of the Off
shore islands, the statements
made by the governments of
the Republic of China and the
United States have been clear
enough and need no more eluci-
dation. That the defense of
Kinman and Matsu Is essential
to the defense of Taiwan and
Penghu (the Pescadores) should
have become an opinion gen.
orally accepted by qualified
military experts"
Gen. Chiang's news conference
followed by only "a hours return
of the great fleet which evacu-
ated the Tachens.
The windup of the operation
was punctuated by three hours
of Communist shelling of
Quemoy, 100 miles across the
Strait of Formosa, yesterday
morning. The Nationalist Mill
tary Information Service SAID it
was the largest artillery exchange
at Queinoy since the Tachen

ST. Croix Members
Chief of Police for the Vir-

rived in st. Croix on Friday,
last, and addressed the mem
bers Of the Christiansted
branch on Saturday morning
and the Frederiksted branch
at $50 am. today.
Chief Felix addressed the
men, as he did in st. Thomas,
that it was the first time that
a native from the ranks had
been appointed to the high
post in the Department. The
practice therefore, will depend
upon his success. eff / sue
coed, another man from the
ranks will follow suit, if not,
we will lose the opportunity
forever, he said.
Referring to the training &
selection of men for the force
he pointed out the old method
of selecting men with limited
education, armed and with no
prior training. The results are
bad judgement, mistakes, cri-
ticism. The British never
operate that way, he said. Pro
per selection is made and ade-
quate training given.
Under the new standard
there will be proper selection
and training before the men
are released for duty.
In public relations the Po-
lice must be firm but cour-
teous. He urged the men to
respond quickly and be ready
to assist the public at all
times, and be ready to explain
the reason for certain actions
taken.
Chief Felix then made a
special appeal to the public to
respect law enforcement and

The breakdown shows that
housewives in Noble county
spent freely for food, devot-
ing more than l6 percent of
their retail cash in this direc-
ton. They bought better grades
and larger quantities than in the
past.
AS result, the local meat mar
kets, bakeries, vegetable stores
and other emporia catering to
the palate were able to chalk up
a $1,310,000 year for 1854. The
figure for the previous year was
lower, $953,0O0.
Big spending was noted, even
more SO, in the automotive field
for new and used cars, boats,
farm machinery and the like.
People were out to add to their
comforts and conveniences. Con-
sequently, with more money in
their pockets after taking care
of the basic necessities, they
splurged on the luxuries.

Joil and $4,000 Fine

Ralph Cobb was fined $l00
and costs and four months in the
Noble county jail, Monday morn
ing, when he pleaded guilty to a
charge of assault and battery
before Judge w. Vernon Archer.
The Belle Valley youth was
originally charged with second
degree manslaughter following
the bar room death of John Riley
Foreman, 20, at Richards Cafe
in Belle Valley on the afternoon
of Sept. Is.
A special session of the grand
jury, however. reduced this
charge to assault and battery
last week.
Cobb appeared in court in the
custody of Sheriff Donald Con-
away and started Immediately
on his sentence.
It will be recalled that Fore
man died following an alterca-
ton from blow on the back of
the head.
Cobb is alleged to have struck
Foreman on the chin when the
latter insisted on his sharing a
drink of beer.
The grand jury investigation
evidently did not warrant a
manslaughter charge for they
reduced it to assault and battery.

Quaker City Minstrel
Will Honor "Queen Of
The Big Top, 0et. 70
Columbus Newsmon
Will Pay Tribute To
Mrs. Winnie Sweeney

Final performance of the
eighth annual minstrel show
will be given at Quaker City
this Thursday evening, Oct. 20.
The policy in this community
has always been to use the best
talent in the Ohio Valley, plus
two or three of the best profess
sional acts in America.
Batesville, Wheeling, Barnes
vile, Cambridge. Tiltonsville,
Byesville and Columbus are
contributing with the talent for
this years show.
Mrs. Winnie Sweeney, retired
Queen Of the Big Top" will be
honored before and after the
Thursday night performance.
Back in 1890, Quaker City was
the minstrel capitol of the
world. There each year, the
Sweeney, Alvido, German and
Goetz model minstrels made
their headquarters. 1t was a
natural thing since the founder
of the minstrels, Charles H.
Sweeney, was a Quaker City
man.
AS the widow of Mr.. Sweeney,
Mrs. Sweeney will be highly
honored this Thursday evening.
Included in the list Of digni-
taries who will attend the dinner
in honor of Mrs. Sweeney Thurs
day evening will be Johnny
Jones, we'll known columnist for
The Columbus Dispatch.
While the minstrels were in
their heyday in the 1905, Mrs.
Sweeney travelled with the
troupe.
Along about 1895, she became
a star rider and a queen of the
big top with The Great Wallace
shows and later with the Wal
lace and Hagenback circus. She
also was wire walker but
gained her real fame as rider.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sweeney made
their home in Peru, Ind, for
a number of years until his
| death 20 years ago when she
returned to her native Quaker
City to live with her son, James
Sweeney and his family. She is
now 83 years old.
