Matsu Island Hit By Red Artillery TAIPEI, Formosa (UPD—A Chinese Communist bombardment of Matsu Island in the Formosa Straits Sunday apparently was designed to strengthen the Soviet’s hand at the Geneva foreign ministers conference, informed sources said today. The Communists, making their first lage scale bombadment of Matsu, killed three persons and wounded eight as they hurled 444 shells in 90 minutes. Matsu, one of the offshore islands in the American-patrolled Formosa Straits, is 150 miles north of the frequently shelled Quemoy Islands. It is far enough off shore to have been relatively untouched in past bombardments but the Communists have been bringing in bigger guns. Chinese Natibnlist aources have predicted stepped-up Communist activity in the Formosa Straits to coincide with the Geneva EastWest meeting and said there might be new assaults against the Quemoy Islands hit by more than 600,000 shells last summer. • Ike Confers With ♦ Security Adviser WASHINGTON (UPD — President Eisenhower today -Sid a routine meeting with Gordon Gray, his special adviser on national security matters.

AFL-CIO President George Meany and other, officials have been increasingly critical of the labor measure which sailed through the Senate 90-1. Teamster President James R. Hoffa’s presence was sure to be felt in the ’top-floor council chamber at AFL-CIO headquarters eyen though his union is in exile. Hoffa, battling for House votes to knock out portions of the Sen-: ate bill, has accused the AFL-CIO 1 leadership f making a “sweet-i !heart" deal with Congress that: would result in crippling legislation. Unless the AFL-CIO comes out swinging against some sections of the Senate bill, some Observers said, Hoffa will gain a reputation as militant champion of labor’s rights. Don’t wail until you are laid out to be on the level. Luck is the meeting of preparation and opportunity. ■ 1 Horsepower was safer when on- . ly the horses had it.

Skillen has criticized land speculations in the Indiana dunes area by high-ranking state Republicans, but he urged that “greed” should not affect plans for industrializing the area. . Skillen spok®.» at a ■ campaign school for party workers here Saturday. The speculations charge arose as the result of a corporation framed by former Sen. William E. Jenner and associates to buy real estate near the Indiana port where Burns Ditch enters Lake Michigan in Porter County. The prospectus of the St. Lawrence Seaway Corp., filed with the Secretary of State, says “the proposed Indiana port is almost certain to be built at the mouth of Burns Ditch. The corporation foresees great profit opportunities iii optionnig, buying, selling and developing of desireable real estate and strategically located real esstate." Probe Asked Sen. Paul Doulas (D-IU.) has said a U.S. Senate committee should investigate the Jenner enterprise. Douglas is fighting to make the port area a national park. “Sen. Douglas Implied that these men were willing to use their connections in our state government to buy properties advantageously,” Skillen declared. “It is true that it would be possible to take advantage not only of the state of Indiana but of the property owners around the dunes and the people of this state, if this corporation knew when and how the Indiana Seaport Commission planned to develop the dunes.” Says Industry Needed But Skillen urged that the area be opened for industrialization instead of being converted into a national park. He said the Senate committee which is deciding the future of the dunes should reach’ a decision without considering Jenner’s project. "Indiana is plagued with unemployment,” Skillen said. “We can use the additional industry that the Indiana harbor will bring. The new steel mills would employ upwards of 20,000 people. This will afford jobs and prosperity to many of our Hoosiers who are now out f work. “The decisin of the Senate cannot afford to be marred by the avaricious tentacles of a greedy few. If Sen. Douglas is correct, and someone is using political connections, then by all means he should be stopped. “However, we must ’ remember that Bill Jenner’s corporation is not being judged in the Senate.”
