IMPROVEMENTS FOR {KEY WEST ADVOC*ATED ‘BY (THE C8IZEN ‘More-Hotels and Apartments Beach and Bathing \Pavilion. Consolidation of County.and:City Government: Community Auditorium. 1 (UNKNOWN WAR _A’bitter struggle ‘between \Nationalist Chinese an Communist ‘Chinese is being waged on ‘two little-publi- cized chains of islands, which extend -almost 600 miles along the Southeast coast of (China. ‘The islands are con- sidered to be Nationalist Chinese territory, though ‘the ‘Communists outnumber the (Nationalist ‘troops at Jleast| two-to-one. Nevertheless, the Nationalists .are ‘tying down these unerically-syperior Communist forces and are reported ito yhave seized the :tactical jinitiative with Commando vaids, which are jinereasing steadily jin size. In addition, ithe ‘Nationalist ‘troops -are partially iblocking ithe ;ports of Amoy, Foochow, Swattow.and\Wenchow. An estimated ..75,000 regular Nationalist troops, Com- mandos and guerillas hold the :main defense jpositions in ithese islands .against »more :than :800;000 Communist troops in South Kiangsu, Chekiang and Fekien Provinces on the mainland. \It isweadily apparent that the tying up of such ailavge number of communist :twoops vis of vital importance ‘in the over-all Asian picture. 4 While the Chinese Communists are attempting to de- eqh United tions troops ipi Koreay ta defeat the British -in ‘Malaya and the French in Indo-Ghina, ‘they also face a threat from Chinese Nationalists in Formosa and these is- land chains, Thus, each allied member of theiteam is con- taining a large number of Communisttroops, which might he employed elsewhere jif any front were to collapse. The Chinese ‘Nationalist activity on the island chains is impor- tant in.view of the possibility of a'blockade against Ohina and if the situation comes to that, the U. S. Navy could move in and aid the Nationalists considerably. In addition, the possession of :these islands gives the Nationalist troops another spring-board for an eventual attack on Communist China and, for this reason alone, they should be retained by Nationalist ‘troops, at all cost. The Nationalists.seem to he aware of this and it is encour- aging to learn that their trdops are showing a good fight- ing spirit and much aggressiveness against the Commun- ists in this campaign. The old criticism that Chinese Na- tionalist troops would not fight .as vigorously .as their Communist counterparts, does not seem to hold water in this. campaign, and that is.a most encouraging sign.

It also would apply wherever American forces become involved in any war, The new fegulations were an- nounced Thursday by the armed forces. Officials said they bring into one uniform order most of the.separate rules and practices enforced by the various services in the past. Most significant change is plac- ing field press censorship directly under the public information agen- cies of the services. Intelligence and other staff units have had this authority. Although designed primarily for overseas theaters of war, the re- gulations provide that censorship may be enforced within the conti- nental United States upon orders by the President or secretary of defense if the country has been or is about to be invaded, The new regulations these provisions: Field censorship may be en- forced immediately upon a decla- | ration of war by the U. S., an/ include its territories, possessions or areas | occupied or controlled by the U. or after an armed attack on U. S. | forces amywhere. Only the Pre: dent or sec#etary of defense m. remove eensorship restrictions once ordered.

Air Force Undersecretary Ros- well Gilpatric said last week the production of Air Force craft reached 666 in November and will hit a top of between 750 and 800 a month next spring. Output then is to taper off to about 300 a month by June, 1956, he said. But the all-out capacity of the aircraft industry, Gilpatric said, is “several times” the 800-a-month ‘under the rearma- Homes Price Still High WASHINGTON (#--The price of homes isn’t coming down any time soon, the Natiénal Association of Real Estate Boards predicted here.

In this gift edition of the best cartoons in the famed English magazine, the drawings have been selected which are considered most atune to what is purportedly the American brand of humor. As a matter of fact any adult who enjoys the cartoons in New Yorker magazine or those sprinkl- ed through the text of Collier’s and Saturday Evening Post, should find a substantial percentage of the cartoows very amusing. The work of several cartoonists in this edition have already pene- trated the American consciousness through various mediums. Sprod who gives comic liveliness to the park statues is there and Emett with his wispy rococo satire of lines, and George M. and his creepy clique who inhabit Britain’s old castles. It is also worth noting that the humor of none of these cartoons stems from the two robust Rab- Jaisian standbys of sex and elimi- nation. Grandmother and Baby Sue and Teenager ‘Yommy alike would not be distrubed emotional- lly by the drawings if they should find the book on the cvffee table next to the muffins. Guest Review by V.
