Kai-Shek Says
Red Aggression Has
Not Been Deferred
BY SPENCER MOOSA

TAIPEH, Formosa, Rl-Chiang
Kai-shek declared Tuesday the
show Of strength by the US. 18th
Fleet in the Tachen evacuation
would not deter Communist ag-
gression in the Formosa area,
even for a short while.
In an exclusive interview with
Fred Hampson, APP chief Of bu-
reau from Hong Kong, the Presi-
dent Of Nationalist China indi-
Gated the off-shore island out
posts his forces still man could be
held against a Red attack.
He again declined to spell out
his version Of an agreement with
the United States on joint defense
Of Quemoy and Matsu Islands,
saying only the matter is very
clear to US and to the Commu-
nists."
HampsOn reported the General
issimo "seems to feel that during
the Tachen action the United
States got more irrevocably be-
hind him in his fight against the
Reds than ever before"
Chang also said:
l. He is certain" his forces will
one day launch a counter-a attack
against the Communist mainland.
2. The so-called neutral nations
of Asia will not side with the
West against the Communists g.
until they have been invaded, and
then it will be too late"
Chang gave no indication of
what strategy he will follow now
that the Tachens have been aban-
doned to the Reds.

TIME TO TURN 1T OFF

Its an Ill wind" grandpa used to quote, "that

quarter good for kites unless they blew too strong
But today comes the perfect example for all to
observe. In Public Law 1885, the law that turned parcel
post service topsy-turvy, have gust of special
privilege that has taken aback those who sought
well as the taxpayers who must support it.
Public Law 1919 passed by Congress in 1851
at the nsstence of the "a railroads that losing
upwards of 100 million dollars year their wholly
owned Railway Express Agency The express monop-
oily had sold the idea to their that the emina
ton of government parcel post would turn railway
losses into profits So the law severely cutting
the size and weight of packages that could be mailed
went into effect in January 1852 Parcel post rates
today are than doubled, some Of them triped
The Railway Express Agency doubled its own prices
while its service declined the railroads reduced the
number of trains and off rail service to thousands
of communities.
AS a result, people mailed 50 million fewer parcel
post packages (one-and-ahaf billion pounds ess) last
year than they did in 1851 Nor did Railway Express
get all the business that Public Law 1919 divorced from
the post office The resentment Of the nations small
package shippers opened newly profitable field to
freight forWarders and consolidated shippers
This rather ignobe experiment is costing Ameri-
can free enterprise-taX- paying small businessmen
housewives, farmers-hundreds of millions year 1t
adds something than 70 million dollars year to
the postal deficit
That i'll wind, Public Law 1919 is still blowing no
good Only Congress can turn it off And since our
congressman and senators have so much on their
minds these days, perhaps ought to give them
nudge.

Wake Forest rs: Virginia ;

In q season Of Illustration, tnis
was perhaps the most frustrat-
ing Of the seven defeats Virginia
has taken.
The Cavaliers usual mistakes
-fumbles. blocked kicks. bone

Forest, instead. made these er-
rors. But Virginia had about as
much scoring punch as a sec
ond-rate featherweight.
Virginia had opportunities
from the Deacons' 80. 20. "a, 40,
10. 16. N. 8. and 5-yard lines.
They muffed them all On one
of these thrusts. the Cavaliers
did complete a pass in the end
zone but q holding penalty null
lified the touchdown.
Defensively. Virginia was SUI

The winning score came when
Wake Forest moved S5 yards on

half. Everyone in the stadium
knew the Deacons were going to

couldn't seem to cover the OBJ
yious receivers. Wake Forest ran
up ITO yards on passes in the

this Virginia loss.

Richmond. 7; CIV, 0
BY GEORGE HUBER

It was the 1854 CIV team
lplaying in Richmond Saturday.
hardly the 1855 edition. The
Colonials were fiat and lacka-
daisical. possibly resting on their
good game the week before
against West Virginia or else
looking ahead to Saturdays
game with Maryland.
About the only good thing In
this game was that the two
Maryland scouts in the stands
learned little.
Oddly enough. Richmond did
mot play very well either. The
spiders meet william 81 Mary
1this week for the State charn-
ipionship and were looking to
that more than to CIV. which
hardly is one of their tradi-
Itionsl rivals. They also were
missing their best player. Full
back Frank Pajaczkowski. who
lis tops in ground gaining and
scoring for the Spiders and also
ia defensive standout.
Loss Of Weaver Hurts
With all that. though, they
were able to turn back several
CIV threats and to make good
with their one drive.
George Washington also had
one of its better players on the
bench, and it made a difference.
Halfback Bill Weaver hardly is
Ia name known to the headlines.
but he's the blocker in the first
backfieid and big help to Mike
Sommer. the ground -gaining and
scoring leader. Weaver came
down with a virus, got in one or
two plays, obviously was too sick
to continue, and had to leave.
Without Bill to show the way,
Sommer was kept more or less
in check.
Somnler did have one beauti-
ful run Of AZ yards with the
kickoff opening the second half.
IHe followed that by catching q
27-yard pass from Quarterback
Bob Sturm. but when this drive
was stopped on the Richmond
III. the fire vent out.
Second Team Also Flat
Coach Bo Sherman tried
Everything to put some zip into
his CIV team. For a long stretch
lin the second half he had the
second team in there. hoping
these boys would have more
dash. They didn't.
As an example Of how much
Ioff form the CIV players weres
there was the one pass Rich
imond completed for 10 yards In
the second period leading to the
lone touchdown. It was a high,
easy pass, the kind kids throw
on the Fairgrounds. and two CIV
players were right there with
Ithe Richmond receiver. But the
lRichmond player caught it any
way. to everyone's surprise. prob
ably including himself.
Then there was that gem Of
iquarterbacking in the third PEE
riod, with CIV still with plenty
of time left to get back into the
tgame. The Colonials were fourth
down and Is to go on Rich
mond's 40. Instead Of punting
and trying to keep Richmond In
Ia hole. the Colonials went for
lthe yardage. The Richmonds
Igreeted that move with glee and,
Iof course, stopped the attempt.
