and prove that we mean business.
1t is important that we take
every step to rescue the American
prisoners now held by the Red
Chinese. Giving up on Formosa
and the coastal islands would mean
giving up on them
We should turn the South Ko-
reans and Chaing kai-Shek's ma
tionalist troops loose to recover
what is properly theirs
These typical answers corrobo-
rate the strong line which most of
my correspondents have taken on
this subject. The statistical respon-
seS are as follows:
Question No. /: The United
States should defend Formosa. Yes
32,484. No 6,785.
Question No. 2: The United
States should defend Matsu and
Quemoy if Red China attacks these
islands. Yes 1925. No TITS.
Question No. 8: We should use
atomic weapons, if necessary in re-
pelling any Red Chinese attack up
on Matsu and Quemoy. Yes 24,660.

Bender Says Poll
Favors Atom Use

Senator George II. Bender of
Ohio announced today that final
returns from his poll of registered
voters in Ohio reveals an "over-
whelming vote in favor of using
atomic weapons to defend the
coastal islands of Quemoy and the
Matsus."
Senator Bender declared in re-
leasing the final results: There is
no doubt whatever that the people
of Ohio are Overwhelmingly in fav-
or of using every method neces-
sary to repel any attack by the
Communists upon Formosa and the
coastal islands lying between For
mosa and the mainland. In re-
sponse to my question concerning
the possible use of Atomic Weap-
ons for this purpose, the tremend-
Gus vote in favor of these measures
proves that the people of our state
are ready to back the administra-
ton If it decides that atomic weap-
ons are necessary for successful de-
fense.
Hundreds of voluntary COM
ments which accompanied the re-
sponses to the poll emphasized the
Importance of stopping further
Communist aggression in the Far
East and elsewhere. There's clear
determination to avoid any indica-
ton of appeasement or other con-
cessions to the Communists.
Many voters commented at
length, urging the passage of the
Bricker Amendment as further
warning to Red China and the So
Wet Union.
"Other typical observations
were: There comes time in every
situation when positive decisions
must be taken.
We must defend FormoSa and
the coastal islands if we are to
keep our position in the Far East

For the month of June, the coun-
ty agent lists early cabbage, green
house tomatoes, head lettuce,
strawberries, spinach, peas and
other green vegetables as some of
the more popular home grown pro-
ducts. This is the time to buy peas
and strawberries for home canning
or freezing, he says, and to use the
other plentifuls in the menu fire.

July will bring home grown snap
beans, red beets, cucumbers, rasp-
berries, field grown tomatoes, and
cherries to the market. Homemak-
ers who wish to process these
foods for winter use should make
plans now to schedule time and
procure supplies for this busy sea-
son. Tomatoes will be in even
greater supply and therefore lower
in price in late July and August.
Home grown sweet corn will be-
gin to reach the market in July,

Should you happen to be one of the
writer's of the more than 20, 900 musical
compositions which are copyrighted

in Washington DC, then you are fair
game for the song sharks, for it is
from the files in the Bureau of Copy
rights that istings can be obtained on
who wrote what when and where. And
then beware, for it is after a song is
copyrighted that writer's begin to re-
ceive the trays of deIectabIe bait ca
tered by the song sharks.
Should you be the author of a poem
of average merit and feel that it is
good song material, which it could
easily be, and have had no contact
with song sharks because you have new
