Americans Move.
The Americans, upon leaving
the village of Quemoy, moved
into their own hostel built of
prefabricated plywood from For
mosa. Hills protect it from Red
gunfire, but the sides neverthe-
less are Sandbagged against the
day-perhaps not too distant
when Communists will have NOR
tars or small rocket projectiles
which they can lob over the hills
onto the American hideaway.
Despite the tensions, the
Americans need all the CT COM
forts to fight nighttime boredom.
One night recently. the Ameri-
cans-both officers and enlisted
men-watched the color movie
Yankee Pasha" shown on their
own protector.
Aside from movies, the Ameri-
cans have library of pocket
size books, a photograph. cards
and bar that produces. among
other things, beer that was
brewed halfway around the
world in Milwaukee. "
The beer, luckily, comes in
bottles that do not have to be
returned.

shortage in the State.

State education superintendents.

The Republican National

its campaign organization for

The chairman said that ordi-

because there was not enough
good hard organizing done in
every State" Mr.. Hall said. I'VE
don't want that to happen again

no substitute for work"
The G.. o. P. chairman also
urged his listeners, who are
from every State in the Union,
to "use your influence to insist
on able, personable candidates
on the Republican ticket"
"Television has changed the
whole course Of campaigning, "
he said. you make up your own
mind in your own living room.
We can't go along on the basis
that anyone can win. We must
put our best foot forward, and
run the best candidate every
time"
During a question period, Mr..
Hall also discussed with Miss
Frieda E. Schicht, president of
the Missouri Federation of Re-
publican Women's Club. how the
G. o. P. could wean some labor
votes away from the Demo-
cratic Party.
Labor Was Problem.
Miss Schicht said that in her
home town of st. Louis, Republic
cans had "a hard time getting
through to the labor vote" She
said they expected even more

Legion Aide AssaiIs
HooyerReportAsking
VA Medical Cuts
BY the Assoeiatsd Press


DETROIT, Mar. IAN Amer
lean Legion official took issue
yesterday with a recommendation
by the Hoover Commission that
the Government curtail its med
ical programs for ex-servicemen.
Robert M. McCurdy, head OF
the Legion's Rehabilitation Com
mission, said he did not antici-
pate the Government would close
10 Veterans Administration hos
pitfalls. The economy move was
recommended by the Commission
on Organization of the Executive
Branch of the Government
headed by former President
Hoover.
Mr.. McCurdy, assistant city
manager of Burbank, Calf, told
a Detroit Economic Club audi
ence there still are 10000 vet
Grams waiting for admittance to
VA hospitals.
10000 Cases Screened.
OF the commissions report
that a check turned up cases of
veterans being treated for nom
service disabilities who had pri-
vate resources, Mr.. McCurdy
said:
II know all about those cases.
They were reported as suspicious
as the General Accounting Serv-
ice reviewed 1000 cases in each
of 40 hospitals and screened
them from 10000 cases. We re-
checked all of them" He added
Average income in II per
cent Of the cases was $4,000 to
$4,000.
1.-THE law clearly provides for
those unable to pay.
How can man with a $4,000
income and family responsibility
meet the terrific cost of fighting
of the ravages of cancer on
such an income?"
The commission report also
came under fire from the Ameri-
can Medical Association.
DR.. George F. Lull, secretary
and general manager of the ANA
said in a statement in Chicago
that "the commission virtually
junked the recommendations OF
its own 16-member medical task
force and substituted at the last
minute proposals which will
expand instead of curtail Govern.
ment medical care for veterans
with non-Service-connected dis.
abilities"
Time Limit Urged.
DR.. Lull said the medical task
force recommended that the
right Of veterans with nom
service-connected disabilities to
Government medical and hos
pital care should be limited to
a period of three years following
discharge from active duty. He
said the task force estimated
this would save the Government
$3.50 million a year.
THE commission, however,
chose to reject the cutoff pro-
vision and recommended that
this service be reduced through
a closer financial screening of
applicants" DR.. Lull said. This
recommendation has already
been tried and proved to be
completely ineffective"

Two Senator'S Oppose
Talking 10 Red China
On Freeing Flyers
by the A,soeiassd Press

Senators Knowland, Republic
can, of California and Mansfield,
Democrat, of Montana said to-
day they oppose direct negotia-
tons with Red China for the re-
lease of imprisoned American
flyers.
This was their reaction to
Burmese Premier u NUS dis
closure in Rangoon that he had
rassed along to Secretary Of
State Dulles a Chinese Com
munist suggestion that the
United States send an unofficial
mission to Peiping to discuss the
flyers fate and other causes of
United States Red Chinese ten
sion. The State Department
yesterday gave the roundabout
proposals a chill reception.
Opposes Discussion.
1--WE don't want discussion, "
said Knowland. I'VE want re-
lease of the Is men in compli-
ance with the terms of the Ko-
rean armistice."
The flyers were captured by
the Reds in the latter stages Of
the Korean war. Eleven have
been sentenced on "spy" charges.
Senator Mansfield. a colleague
Of Senator Knowland's on the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, said separately he re-
CARDS the indirect proposal as
"just a propaganda move" by the
Communists.
There is nothing to discuss
and nothing to be gained by any
conference" Senator Mansfield
said. 1.-THE airmen are being held
illegally in direct contravention
to the Geneva Convention on
prisoners of war.
Captured in Uniform.
"They were captured in uni
form. They should have been
released at the same time as 9TH
er U. N. prisoners following the
Korean truce. There is nothing
new that can be brought out in
another meeting"
Senator Knowland, the Senate
Republican leader, said recently
that if the United Nations does
not gain release of the flyers.
Congress and the President
should try to force their release.
He declined to spell out what &C
ton he thinks might be taken.

Mr.. Diem described the two
chief problems facing his gov
eminent as the resettlement Of

groups which are hindering the

Mr.. Dulles and Mr.. Diem also
examined the question Of total
autonomy for the Wet Namese
army, which continues to be
stated by many French officers.
An aide to Mr.. Dulles threw
cold water on Burmese sugges-
tons that the United States

The aide said Burma had not
yet relayed to Mr.. Dulles Premier
Chou's offer to receive such a

Heard Him The First Time

Soviet Premier Bulganin's dou-
ble-take on President Eisenhower S
summit" proposal for military
blueprint" swapping and free aer-
ial reconnaissance is one for the
book-the history book.
Perhaps the history book will
reveal who told Bulganin, after he
had rejected the Eisenhower offer
in his August fourth speech to the
Supreme Soviet of the USSR, that
he had put his foot in his mouth.
But we need no crystal ball to
foresee the futility of his speech of
the very next day in which he told
the very same body that he had
been misunderstood He did not
either, he said, reject the Eisen-
hover disarmament suggestion.
The Soviet government, he assured
them, was studying the matter very
seriously and would continue to
study any ideas the President might
have.
This is what is known in U. S.
legislative circles as "tabling'' the
measure, which is much more po-
lite than just saying "nuts!". But
what the Premier said first is
what will be remembered and
