Was It Named For The Butcher Of Arenal? Where Did Cardenas, Cuba, Get Its Name? We all know how Key West got its name. But who knows for whom the other end of our sea going ferry line was named? Who can answer? There was one Cardenas whose name is written large in the early days of the American Southwest. Could it have been named for him? When the Viceroy of New Spain sent his expedition north to find the fabled golden cities of Cibola ‘and possibly a way to India and Cathay, the commander was the redoubtable Don Fransisco Vas- quez de Coronado, The name of Coronado is indelibly imprinted in the history of our Southwestern States, 3 In 1539, with his main expedi- tion then centered at about what is now Eagle Pass, Coronado sent out his main scouting force under Garcia Lopez de Cardenas. Card nas became the advance guard uf this journey into the unknown. And he became famous for three things.

Defense Pact Signing Seen By SPENCER MOOSA TAIPEH, Formosa — Nego- tiations for a mutual defense pact ‘between the United States and Nationalist China ‘are in their fi- nal stages and official quarters signed by year’s end. Nationalist China considers the projected pact to be of immense importance because, officials say: 1. It will give permanence to the U.S. commitment to defend For- mosa’ against Communist inva- sion. 2. It more or less rults out any prospect the United States might recognize Red China or be a party to any big power deal Formosa’s future, such as the im- Position of a trusteeship. 3. It will probably result in a substantial increase of U.S. mili- tary aid to strengthen Chiang Kai- shek’s armed forces. 4. It will tend to bolster the Nationalist intention of regaining the lost mainland. 5. It will establish a strong “They shall not pass” line against communism, and thus greatly en- courage those Asiatics outside the Bamboo Curtain. Formosa has been under the pro- tection of the U.S, 7th Fleet since June 27, 1950 — right after the outbreak of the Korean War. But, without a mutual defense pact, the United States could, at any time it chooses, withdraw that protec- tion and leave the Nationalists to their own devices. Sources familiar with the nego- tiations say the United States has insisted that the scope of the pact be limited to Formosa and the Strategic Pescadores, off the west central coast of Formosa.
