Chief COP cannoneer lately has
been David Macdonald, chairman
of the seven Republican candi

rained down charges of "crony
ism," waste in government

ism" and "favoritism."
If wounds have been inflicted
Democrats haven't shown any
sign of them. Instead, they have
come back with refutation of the
charges but with few if any coun

The objective was to escort

1t was first time an Ameri-

The convoy marked a new

IL Miles TO Mainland
A few miles ahead we could
see Quemoy. On our right some
10 miles away but within sight
was the Communist mainland.
1t was now one hour since
the Collects sub report and the
destroyer sent word she still
was getting contact.
The two Nationalist ammu-

their American escorts toward
the beach. Now they were ac-
companied by four small Ma
tionalist patrol boats for the
remaining three or four miles
to shore.
On the flag bridge OF the
Helena, Vice Admiral Wallace
M. Beakley, the It'll Fleet COM
mander, received a stream OF
reports on the progress of the
operation.
He said the landing ships
had reached the beach and so
far there were no reports OF
any air activity or artillery

There had been no Red
