TWO MIAMI DAILY -MIAMI, OKLA. MONDAY, MARCH 28, 1955 CONVICTS STILL HOLD NEBRASKA PRISON GUARDS indication they had guns. The guards seized were not armed when captured. Anderson said prison authorities believe the rebels have "some kind of homemade knives." First word from the prisoners since early yesterday evening was a phone call to the warden's office early today. John Ward, spokesman for the rebels, told: reporter after refusing to talk to Warden Herbert Hann the prisoners wanted "to get rid of" three of the inmates.

Dozens of well-armed guards and state safety patrolmen had the building's lone exit thoroughly covered. Warden Hahn canceled all work details at the prison for the day. He made the announcement to prisoners over the prison's intercommunication system. Breakfast was served as usual. Power was sh shut off from the besieged building.

The reason, Anderson said, was to deprive the convicts of the use of the radio. SO they wouldn't know every move the prison officials were making. The governor said the loss of LEGAL NOTICES (Published in Miami Daily News- Record March 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, NOTICE TO BIDDERS office of E. C. Wright, City Clerk.

The captive guards had not been heard from since late Sunday afternoon, when they reported themselves unharmed.

Governor Anderson said he was confident they are safe as the convicts would have nothing to gain from harming them. The revolt developed about 10:30 a. m. yesterday when the 12 prisoners seized guard, Warren B. Miller, 43.

A time later they grabbed guard Eugene Swanson, 34. All was quiet elsewhere at the prison, home of 747 convicts and the scene of several incidents, including two riots, in recent years.

But it is now expected that the until some the assault attack on Quemoy, will not come on Matsu. The Chinese Nationalists now have more than two divisions on Quemoy.

American Military Advisory Group officers are on both islands advising the Nationalists on defense measures. It is fully recognized that if the defense of the islands is left to the Chinese Nationalist forces alone, the Chinese Communists have the resources to take them. Both sides would encounter heavy losses. But the Red Chinese have the manpower and resources to take these heavy losses. The Chinese Nationalists do not.

From one-fifth to onethird of the Nationalist forces are now deployed on the offshore islands remaining in their hands. the Chinese Reds get their her.vy artillery in position and can keep it supplied, they can put down interdiction fire which will make re-supply and re-enforcement of the islands by the Chinese Nationalists extremely difficult. Artillery alone cannot conquer the islands, but artillery can make the defense costly. At the beginning, the Chinese Nationalists should have air superiority. They have American F- 84 jets and are receiving F-86's as fast as they can train pilots to fly them.

Nationalist air bases on Formosa are only 100 miles or so from the offshore islands. The Red China air bases are to closest, 200 miles away. Closer fields are being built behind Foochow but they are not yet. ready for use. If and when Communist attack is launched against the islands, it is recognized that it will be impossible to restrain Chiang Kai-shek.

He will immediately order his air force to attack Chinese Communist airfields and supply routes. Red China can retaliate by air attacks against, Formosa. This is the key factor for the United States. An attack on Formosa by Red China would automatically invoke the U. China Mutual Defense Treaty.

The key question for America, therefore, is whether a Red China attack on the offshore islands will be extended to involve Formosa. If it does it will be up to President Eisenhower, under the new powers recently granted him by Congress, to decide what action the States forces will take in retaliation.

A horse player gets a hot tip on a 2-year-old which will be turned loose when the trainer finds the right spot at a spring meeting. Every day he's watching the entries and all of a sudden-no newspapers. So it's a cinch the horse will run somewhere, and he won't get a bet down and it will pay maybe 33-1.

However, it should be emphasized that opinion is by no means unanimous in Washington that the U. would become involved in war over the offshore islands. There is plenty of support for the opinion that Quemoy and Matsu are not essential to U. S. defense and that we should allow them to fall.

But the greatest disaster was in southern and south central United States, where a spell of spring had brought out the fruit blossoms before the storm swooped in from the northwest.

The hard freeze virtually wiped out the peach crop in eight statesIllinois, Georgia, the Carolinas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Virginia. It left Illinois with prospects of only one fourth of its apple crop. Potatoes, strawberries, tung nuts and vegetables were among the ruined or badly damaged crops in Dixie.

Wind-whipped waters of the Gulf of Mexico menaced fishing and pleasure craft, as well. The furious wind shredded sails of boats in New York harbor and prevented efforts to blast an ice has jam in damaged the Niagara property River along which river's shores. Both the winds and the cold moderated today. Temperatures were 5 to 12 degrees higher from the Ohio Valley to the Gulf Coast.

Reg. $89.95 $75 00 Value Walker Drug Store .14 South Main Dial 2-7167 BIG 4 DETAILS BEING STUDIED France are expected to consult promptly on Russia's favorable attitude toward a high-level meeting. As a result of France's parliamentary approval of German rearming, the Western Powers will take up the problem of an approach to Russia on the firmest basis they have had for several years. The problem of relations within the Western alliance, however, presents difficulties for President Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles. Britain particularly is disturbed over the prospect of United States clash with Red China over the Chinese Nationalist coastal islands of Matsu and Quemoy.

Pressure has been increasing on President Eisenhower within the United States to take a tougher and more definite line on defense of those islands. There has been no decisive commitment so far. discussion. The United States, Britain and VFW Will Elect Officers Tonight Officers for the ensuing year will be elected at a meeting of Miami post No. 2688 Veterans of Foreign Wars tonight.
