MckeIdin Lauds
Faith Of County
Coal Miners

Gov. McKeldin told night mining
classes Tuesday night that their
coal industry is very much alive"
and urged them to hold to the
good confidence you are showing
here"
The economic risk always has
existed in the mining industry
McKeldin said, adding that in re-
cent years 1T has come up against
new sources Of competition"
Men of a lesser breed than that
of the coal miner might have been
forced into retreat at times by such
competition and its results. But our
mines are operating-still holding
on-through slack times and spurts
of good times. l believe this conf
dence is justified.
Our laboratories are not idle.
New ways have been found to make
economic use of coal-and experts
tell me we have only scratched the
surface. New and better uses re-
main to be discovered. More eff
cient ways are in the offing for eX-
tracing from this great basic fuel
the ultimate in economical energy"
The Governor addressed Garrett
and Allegany county graduates of
night mining classes at banquet
at Southern High school, APPROX
mately It's persons attended the
dinner.
Walter w. Dawson served as
POSTMASTER. Mining officials from
West Virginia, Pennsylvania and
Maryland, spoke briefly.
In his talk prepared for delivery
McKeldin noted that coal original
ly was exclusively steam fuel and
that it was then found gas also
could be produced from it,
who knows what new power
may be found in coal?" the gov
ernor asked. Who knows what bet
ter ways may be developed for OK
tracing its gases McKeldin said
he had always looked upon the coal
miner as the aristocrat of indus
try" AS governor of a coal mining
state, l salute you tonight with
pride" he said.
The banquet marked the con-
clusion of the 32nd year for the
night mining classes l.. c. Hut
son, vocational mining instructor,
pointed out that during the 81 years
7109 persons had participated in
the courses.

fortunately, such coverings cannot be
relied upon to protect the soil at all
times.
In view of the need for protecting
land and crops from damaging winds,
a study was made of weather records
to see if it was possible to develop
useful criteria for the installation of
wind protection practices. The primary
concern was in getting guide to the
orientation of such practices as shelter
belts. stripcrops and contour cultiva-
ton
In this study it was assumed that the
highest velocity windstorms each month
are the most destructive ones. Reports

study of wind conditions would re-
ouire data comparable to that on rain

given along with the duration. More
data on windstorm velocities, direction
and duration would provide the In
formation that is needed by our agri-
cultural technicians. With data limit
ed. however we had to rely on the
single maximum storms at various
stations throughout the Northern Great
Plains States.

The map on this page of Montana

various weather bureau stations The

As well as bars representing the best

desired by the land operator, COM
parison of windstorm percentages can
be made to determine the best alterna-
tive direction In most cases, the al
tentative direction does not provide as
much protection as the first choice.
This map shows that the direction OF
high velocity winds varies consider
ably throughout the region. There
may be contrasting variations at sta
tons relatively close together. Local
topography, such as high mountains
probably exerts a marked influence
on wind direction. 1t is for this reason
that local weather information should

Indian Leader Feels Secure as Long
As Struggle Is Between East, West

Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru of India has left the
Banding Conference Of Asian
African nations in something
Of a surprising state of per-
sonai political eclipse. This
Is not to say, Of course, that
Mr.. Nehru has in any sense
become a figure of no conse-
quence in the new Asia-far
from it. But the promises of
leadership he manifested so
strongly before Banding have
been largely diSsipated in the
light of events at that Indo-
nesian resort.
Those Westerners who have
been privileged to know Mr..
Nehru as intimately as any
Westerner has. describe the
Indian leader as an idealist
of great personal conceit who
is astonishingly sensitive to
criticism for a public figure.
He is a Brahman-the highest
caste Hindu-and the son of
a wealthy Allahabad lawyer.
That he is also a disciple Of
the late Mohandas K. Gandhi
and a convinced Socialist
somehow occasions little sur
prise among those who have
known this enigmatic, self
important and contradictory
figure.
1t is difficult to say, even in
the United States, that news
papers and the public journals
mold" public opinion. But
certainly they have the means,
better perhaps than any other
public or private institution,
and whether or not they mold
opinion in any significant
degree they can and do create

ton. They can, and do, make
a public figure a hero or a

on the world stage deserve

latter.

Mansfield Sees
Matsu Defense
Up 70 Chang
BY the Ass ociated Press

Senator Mansfield, Democrat,
Of Montana said today any de-
Tense of Quemoy and Matsu
islands may well become the sole
responsibility Of the Chinese Ma
tionalists."
Senator Mansfield said it was
his understanding that Assistant
Secretary of State Walter Rob-
ertson and Admiral Arthur w.
Radford discussed with Chang
Kai-shek the question of the de-
tense of those islands He did
not elaborate.
Mr.. Robertson and Admiral
Radford, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, are flying back
to Washington after talks with
Chang and his top defense aides
on Formosa.
Topic at White House Farley
An administration official told
newsmen the Formosa situation
was bound to come up" during
White House meeting next
Tuesday of President Eisenhower
and congressional leaders of both
parties.
However, he said there was no
reason to believe the discussion
was called specifically to deal
with events in the Far East.
The announced purpose of the
conference is to discuss Mr..
Eisenhower's $3l2 billion foreign
aid request.
Senator Mansfield, a Senate
Foreign Relations committee
man. said in an interview that
ANY real cease-f1re" in the
Formosa strait would have to
result in all the off-shore is
lands going to Red China"
He said a cease-fire line
would have to be drawn
through the Formosa Strait.
More than 100 miles of
open water separates Formosa,
Chiang's major base, and the
Communist controlled main
land.
U. S. Willing to Negotiate
President Eisenhower has said
the United States would be
willing to negotiate directly
with the Chinese Peoples Re-
public, without the Nationalist
present, on a possible cease-fire.
Peiping radio suggested last
night, in a broadcast heard in
Tokyo, that because the United
States and Red China are not at
war "at present." there is mo
ground for cease-f1re talks be-
tween them"
The broadcast criticized Mr..
Eisenhower's news conference
statement and said he avoided
reference to the crux of the
question of tensions" in the For
mosa area. It referred to what
it called the occupation" of
Formosa by United States troops.
