adopted by the legislature and in
1872 Newton II, Winchell began a

The legislature asked the fed

Of land for this work. Seeking an
excuse, the state was given six
sections adjoining each Of twelve
salt springs which had been set a.

in the western part of the state.
The springs never produced salt

An 'Atomonioc'
BY the Asseeiefsd Press

TOKYO. Friday, Feb. Ii
The official Chinese Red news
paper coined a word today
"Atomaniacs" - and bestowed
the label on Representative
Martin. the Republican leader in
the House.
American 'atomaniacs' are
again brandishing their weapons
while taking part in Chang
Kai-shek's military operations
in China's offshore island" said
a Peiping broadcast, quoting
from Peoples Daily.
Martins fantastic thinking
has reached the point where he
believes the use of atomic
weapons can bring the Chinese
people to their knees within 80
days" the newspaper said.
THE Chinese peoples strong
resolve to liberate Taiwan
(Formosa), Penghu (Pescadores)
and the other islands off the
China coast can never be
shaken by either atomic weapons
or crafty diplomacy.
"The United States has long
lost its monopoly of atomic
weapons. Yet stupid American
warmongers like Martin still pin
their hopes on such weapons. ;"
