President Syngman Rh«e, In a statement to International News Service Saturday, said South Korea would “do anyhing in our power to help defend Formosa,” but implied that the U. S. was checkmating such a plan. Ambassador Kim said the Communists may attack Formosa as soon as new air bases are completed along the mainland. He added: | “In that event, the South Ko- ' rean army would cover the northern flank of the Communist front in Asia in what U. S. secretary of state Dulles has termed ’threepronged retaliation’.” Kim pointed out that Quemoy and Masu are "essential to the defense of Formosa.” Kim, a former general of the ROK army, said at a news conference that battle-tested Red Chinese army units have been massed along the coastal provinces opposite Quemoy and Matsu.

Youths Are Sought For Motel Holdup Indianapolis Motel Robbed Early Sunday INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — State police searched today .for three teenagers who .fled with more than 3500 early Sunday after tying up the night ■ manger of the Alamo Plaza Motel east of Indianapolis. ; and leaving him locked in a furnace room. Howard B. Hopkins, 48, the vic- . tim. said: "I had just taken some guests - to their rooms and had returned to the office when the three men came in. One carried a .38 caliber revolver. The one with the gun • pulled a rope out of his pocket, grabbed my arms and tied them
behind my back. Then they shoved me in the furnace room next door and locked the door.” Meanwhile, the other two youths looted the two cash registers. Hopkins said he worked his hands free and then shouted and pounded on the door of the room until he aroused a guest, who let him out. The motel, which is located on Road 40, was robbed of $568 by two 17-year old youths in April, 1954. The bandits were caught and were sentenced to one year each at the state penal farm.

Plan Improvement For Range Lands To Provide More Livestock Forage WASHINGTON (INS)—Federal officials believe they are making considerable progress in improving government-owned range lands in the west but they readily admit they still have serious problems. The interior department’s bureau of land management, which has jurisdiction in this field, is convinced that the prime reason for today’s difficulties is that officials in the past have not been realistic in matters affecting grazing privileges. BLM director Edward Woosley said the "price of. this failure is that grazing use has continued to exceed grazing capacity in certain areas . . BLM sees several possibilities for meeting the problem, among which it apaprently gives priority to a joint improvement program by the bureau and the range users. In this connection, interior sec-1 retary Douglas McKay pointed out only a few days ago that private individuals already are spending considerably more than the federal government on grazing conservation measures. BLM also suggests that water development to equalise use of range lands and, above all. reseeding, offer other attractive and profitable means of providing more forage for livestock. The agency views reseeding as being beneficial in at least three respects. It says the results are to increase the productivity of livestock, to stabilize the soil and prevent wind and- water erosion, and to choke out jhe noxious weed halogeton. Land management at present has a fairly large and continuing reseeding program aimed both at controlling halogeton and at conserving soil and moisture. Under a bill passed by congress last year, BLM says it is taking full advantage of a quarter of a million pounds of surplus govern-ment-owned grass and forage seeds made available to it. To date, the agency reports that beef production on reseeded acres has in many instances been stepped up from two to three pounds to between 30 and 40 pounds per acre. BLM says the program also has beneficial effects on range lands adjacent to the reseeded tracts by giving them a chance to come back naturally. As for halogeton control, officials freely admit that there is a long way to go. They think that they can keep ahead of the spread of the weed and that, without unforeseen difficulties, it can be taken in hand completely in a few years. 16 Railroad Cars Derailed Saturday PLYMOUTH, Ind. (INS) — Company officials attempted today to ascertain - the cause of derailment of 16 cars of a Pennsylvania railroad freight train in downtown Plymouth Saturday night. No one was injured.
