Nationalists Hope They Can
Handle Tightening Blockade

TAIPEI (OP) Nationalist
Chinese authorities claimed Fri-
cey night to be hopeful that they
can counter the Communists’
tightening blockade on the off-
shore islands without outside aid,
but indicated American help
might be needed should the situa-
tion worsen.

Rear-Admiral Liu Hoh-tu, chief
defence ministry spokesman at
Chiang Kai-shek’s headquarters,
said “I am sure we can solve . .
without outside help” the current
campaign by the Chinese Reds to

seal off the Quemoy island group.
But he admitted that the supply
line to these islands was ‘‘threat-
ened,”’ and ‘there is a limit be-
yond which we alone will not be
able to solve the problem.”
Reuters news agency reported
that despite Liu’s. ‘‘no. outside
help’’’ optimism, military observ-
ers here believe that increased
American aid. will be necessary
if the Nationalists are to lift the

Mr. Fornier was in the building
when the fire started. The-Glou-

sored a banquet and social even-
ing. at the lodge Thursday night
in honor of the Dominion Com-
mand president, David L. Bur-
gess. Most of those in the wooden
buildings had attended the event.
Nothing could be saved. The loss
included the legion colors and
other equipment.

The fire was first noticed in a
first floor wall separting a bed-
room from a men’s lavatory. Mr.
Fournier said the flames mush-
roomed through the second floor
and then spread down to the main
floor.

The lodge, a popular resort

Mr. Cullen advised that the
next logical step called for gen-
enal public meeting of all potato
producers in order to get some
idea of the exact type of Board
desired.

“A referendum could then be
held ‘at the earliest possible
date,’ he added.

Starch factory possibilities were
also being studied by the local
government Mr. Cullen said.

Such factories would certainly
aid in any future diversion pro-

observed, adding that support

AGAINST REFERENDUM

Strong disapproval of holditg
any further referendum at this
time was voiced by Claude De-

“If you took a ‘vote now, the
Board would be banned,”’ he said.
“Two thirds of the people would
throw the questionaire in the
stove, and the remainder would
vote nio.”’

Mr. Delaney said that he had
always supported a Board, but
hundreds of persons he had talk-
ed with lately had disapproved of
it.
