THE POLITICAL MILL
Election May Turn on Two Big Issues
By GOULD LINCOLN

Two major issues, filled
with dynamite, have thrust
themselves into the 1858 po-
litical campaign. They are
the crisis in the Formosa
Strait and the battle over
school indignation in the
South. Either could have
drastic effects on Democratic
and Republican prospects.
Some Democratic leaders
are in full cry over what they
charge is mishandling OF the
Eisenhower military-aid for
eign policies. Senator
Green, chairman Of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, has recommended
that President Eisenhower
call a special session Of Con-
gress. presumably to deal
with the controversy over the
of -shore islands in the For
mosa Strait. Quemoy and
Matsu. Senator Kennedy OF
Massachusetts,, rated the
leading Democratic hopeful
for the 1860 presidential
nomination. also has vigor-
ously attacked the handling
of the couptry's foreign pol
icy and what he called a
failure to keep our military
capacity equal to that of So
Wet Russia. And other DEM
ocratic critics have fatty de-
clared that the United States
should not let itself become
involved in a shooting war
over the of -shore islands.
The attitude of the PrCsi-
dent and the Republicans is
that to yield the islands in
the face of Red force would
be "appeaSement" and an en-
couragement to the Chinese
Communists to attack For
mosa itself.
Decision for Democrats
If the crisis in the Formoss
Strait continues, however
the Democrats will have tc

a few days ago when the Vir-

our schedule to break ground

of this project, which will
eventually provide 300-plus
beds and a new school Of
nursing on the Seminary
road site.
While we still have a man

at our recent progress and

received from Senator Charles
r. Fenwick of Arlington on
this project.
AS a member of the steer
ing committee of the Virginia
Advisory Hospital Council, he
has constantly championed
the cause of Northern Vir-
ginia hospitals in the States

The rapid population growth
in this area has made addi-

imperative, but the leader

During the summer recent

People with plenty of trees

This is its way of living.
The amount of water let
down daily by a large tree
is amazing. 1t amounts to
hundreds of gallons, all COM

CUBAN WORKERS AND POLITICS

For several years, since the 10th of March, 1852, to

out. 1t specifically m e d
that regular runs are now being

that trade between the two areas
could be improved even more if

the large Western powers that
their countries desire is that "the
resolution adopted by the Assem-.

The non-intervention principle
has been a part of the Inter Amer

In 1915, President Woodrow

this principle of non-intervention
as basic to their information rights.
