Secretary of State John Foster Dulles said the thing the nation, wanted to hear when he voiced confidence that American military might would succeed in turning back any Chinese Communist attack on Formosa. Formosa's strategic importance to the United States is well established. It is part of an island chain that also embraces the Philippines, the Ryukus (Okinawa) and Japan.

This chain is America's first line of defense in the Pacific. The loss of any link would imperil the rest. But, publicly at least, Dulles stepped into new ground when he told newsmen pressing him on the issue that the defense of Quemoy, the Chinese Nationalist island seven miles off mainland is "primarily related to the defense of Formosa and is being considered and studied in that light." The key to this comment may be in the words "primarily related." The question in citizen's minds is just how Quemoy's defense is related to Formosa's. Since the latter is upwards of 100 miles from the mainland, it is nearly as far from Quemoy. It's conquest by Red China would thus hardly put the Communists a big stride toward Formosa.

To contend, therefore, that the U. S. defense barrier must now be bulged westward 100 miles to include an island within shelling distance of China's mainland is really to advance a whole new defense concept. When the high-level studies alluded to by Dulles are completed, the American public should be given a clear understanding of the place our military experts give Quemoy in the strategic picture. There is no question that Quemoy in Chaing Kai-shek's hands is a valuable weapon of harassment against the the Reds.

And if they should ever seriously attempt an invasion of Formosa, the Quemoy Nationalists could prove a source of major inteference with Red attack plans. But supposing that inteference did not occurr, that the Reds seized Quemoy before undertaking a Formosa invasion Would Formosa be doomed or its defense even moderately comprised because Quemoy had fallen first? American military men have made no public representation to this effect. Nor have our diplomats, until Dulles used the words "primarily related." Until he or they explain those words, the American people cannot help having certain doubts about this country's posturing in the Far Pacific. If we are to defend Quemoy in event of attack, we really ought to know why. VIEWS OF OTHERS A Champion All western North Carolina is proud of Judge Sana M.

Cathey of Asheville who has been selected to receive the 1954 President's trophy as the outstanding handicapped man of the year. Judge Cathey has been the sightless champion of the cause of the blind in North Carolina for the past 35 years. He lost his sight on a construction job in 1912. Three years later he enrolled in the State School for the Blind at Raleigh determined to overcome his handicap. Finding that the University of North Carolina did not at that time allow admittance to blind students he led the fight to change the rules and became the first visually handicapped person to graduate from that institution.

Through his efforts legislation was initiated to provide tuition and Braille textbooks for the blind in North Carolina. He was one of the creators of the North Carolina Association for the Blind. He has served without compensation as board chairman of the North Carolina Blind commission since its organizataion. No better choice could have been made to receive the President's (N. Daily Star.

We note in some dismay a sudden rash of things going the wrong way. Thomas H. Danaher of Texas flew his light aircraft from Canada to Ireland only after detouring over Paris. Batista Per- Portugal won the English channel swim after swimming in the wrong direction for a while. All this naturally recalls the days of Dougals (Wrong Way) Corrigan who made the wrong way the right way by piloting a moth-eaten plane on an unauthorized Atlantic flight.

Different At Grass Roots Last May the minisiters and elders making up uie General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the U. the Southern branch of Presbyterianism, fell in line with the "liberal" thinking so prominent among religious voted to recommend the end of segregation in Southern Presbyterian churches and church-supported institutions.

Yesterday the Presbyterian Synod of South Carolina voted by a large majority to continue segregation, saying, "it is the sense of the Synod of South Carolina that it is in the best interests of harmonious relations between white and Negro races in this section at this time that the present enrollment policies in the institutions under the control and support of the synod be continued." A number of Southern Presbyterian churches and other church units already have rejected the General Assembly's recommendation. It seems the idea of ending segregation does not look so rosy at the grass roots as it does from a big meeting like the General Assembly. But the grass roots reaction is what counts most. It reflects the sentiments of the people. Chattanooga News-Free Press.

It Began With a Rose The international color race is on with more hues in the news than almost anything else. It all began in Moscow when a Soviet horticulturist' boasted of developing a rose that changes from white to pink to yellow to brown to red all in seven days.

It's Moscow's move now and the reds numbering radar, butterflies, the juke box, "bezebol," seedless grapefruit, democracy, Hamlet and the wheel among their inventive triumphs will surely come up with a chartreuse sunset, a shocking-pink caterpillar or a black orchid before the week is out. Business Rivals The National Labor Relations Board recently ruled that an employer is not compelled to bargain with a union operating a rival business.

The role of unions in business has become so extensive, that the committee urgently recommended that Congress should investigate fully the various business arrangements it found. It also recommended for contempt of Congress witnesses who refused to testify to their part in some of these business arrangements and the income it paid them. Medford (Mass.) Mercury.

"You'll look skinnier," says Boyle. Chubby damsels should avoid standing: in front of Venetian blinds and furniture with rounded corners.

Until a short time ago, the only price tag put on the uranium fuel which will drive the atomic power plants has been $9000 a pound. In a recent speech, however, Dr. Lawence- B. Hafstad, director of the Atomic Energy Commission's Research Development division, quoted a.

figure of S20 a pound. The difference of $8980 a pound was so great that an explanation was called for. When produced, it developed that both figures were right, but they are for two different kinds of uranium. The $9000 per Ib. uranium is the refined, concentrated isotope known as U-235.

The $20 per Ib. is the natural 0-238. THIS NATURAL URANIUM 238 contains only seven-tenths of one per cent of the rich U-235. This is about one part in 140. It is the complicated process of separating out the 'CJ-235 that shoots up its cost to the $9000 a pound figure.

Both kinds of uranium are needed to provide the energy that will heat the Water to make the steam to drive the turbines that turn the generators to furnish the electricity to heat and light the futuristic house that Jack builds. says Dr. Hafstad. In the center of enriched U-235. At $9000 a pound, this would cost $1,800,000.

As these neutrons collide with the U-235 atoms in the natural uranium, the heat is generated which is the atomic en- other design to get this ergy. One same result is to put one rod of pure U-235 metal to say every ten rods of natural U-238 in a blanket of some other material, like carbon, to slow down the neutrons. The amount of heat generated is then regulated by withdrawing or inserting the rods of U-23S.

This charge would furnish energy for several years. After it had "cooked" that long, half of the rich U-235 core would be burned up.

is appropriate at the begin- The advice of the physician who ning of the school year to review one's children's status so far as protective vaccination or immunization is concerned. Most children are given several of the vaccinations they need in the very first months or years of life. But often, in order to insure continued protection, these injections should be repeated one or more times during the school-age period. Furthermore, new developments continue to occur; it may well be that some of the older high school youngsters did not receive the tox- oid injections against tetanus or lockjaw which are now so commonly given to small children, and therefore could profit by it. takes care of the child from birth should be followed when it comes to giving protective innoculations.

Remember that the situation may change. Certainly these vaccinations are largely responsible for the much better chance of living through childhood which youngsters have now than those of even 50 years ago. Here are some of the things to consider. Vaccination against smallpox is usually done within the first six months after birth. After this vaccination (which should be and almost alxvays is a 'take" at that age), immunization against diphtheria, whooping cough, and tetanus (lockjaw) are often done.

These are often given together by or before six months old usually in four doses. EDC conferees ferret for foibles in the Mendes-Fxance proposal.

When the hand was actually played, the club finesse lost, but West could not give declarer any gray hairs. If West led another spade, South would get a free finesse. If West, instead, shifted to hearts, South coild win an knck out the ace of diamonds while he still had every suit under control. Now go back to the second trick and see what happens if you lead a diamond instead of the queen of clubs.

East steps up with the ace of diamonds and leads a spade, after which you are in the soup up to your ears. You can take the king of spades, or you can lose a spade finesse and have the king knocked out one trick later. You have only eight tricks, anf when you eventaully take the club finesse it will lose, and the rest of the spades will set you. pounds of plutonium would been produced in the blanket. This Plutonium could be separated out.

Half of it could be put back in the core, to bring its charge back up to the original level. The other half of the plutonium could be taken out as a by-product "profit." This illustrates the secret of the breeder reactor, in generating more fissionable material than it consumes. "It enables all of the original uranium charge to be consumed.

Entry into school is a good time to consider such repetition. Sometimes a question of other types of innoculation comes up. Among them 'is that against typhoid fever, which is a germ disease usually contracted from contaminated water, milk, fruits or vegetables.
