Cars Marooned
On Ice Floe '
OSHKOSH, Wis., (/Ph- Hun
dreds of automobiles were driven
gingerly off Lake Winnebago yes
terday after they had been mar
ooned overnight on a huge ice
floe.
About 450 cars ami 1,000 or
more ice fishermen were cut off
from shore Sunday when a strong
wind made a break in the ice and
created the huge floe.
The fishermen were brought to
land by boat, but the automobiles
remained on the floe and their
drivers pondered how to retrieve
them.
Then the Wisconsin conserva
tion department located a 'bridge’
of solid ice leading to shore near
Chilton, across the lake from Osh
kosh.

Starvation
In Red China
HONG KONG, (/P)— Millions
of peasants face starvation in Red
China this year.
Upwards of 40,000,000 persons,
by communist government estim
ate, are in famine areas.
Some 8,000,000 right now are
desperately hungry.
In east China alone 16,000,000
may starve to death.
Floods, crop pests and plagues
are blamed for the great food
shortage.
The communist state adminis
trative council in Peiping is mo
bilizing relief agencies. Its direc
tive is available here in British
Hong Kong.
The directive says a fifth of the
cultivated land in east China
alone was flooded. That wiped
out crops on 8,000,000 acres.
The Manchurian barter agree
ment with Russia is draining off
much food from north China.

Senate Demos
Back Truman’s
Formosa Policy
WASHINGTON, W — Senate
democrats united today behind
president Truman’s “hands-off”
policy on Formosa.
Senator Lucas of Illinois, the
democratic leader, said party cau
cus showed that all of the demo
crats support the stand of the
president and secretary of state
Acheson in refusing to give mili
tary aid to the Chinese national
: ists on the island.
“The democrats think the state
department and the president are
definitely right in the actions they
have taken,” Lucas told reporters.
“The democrats are fearful that
any intervention there ultimately
will mean war.”
Republicans have taken the
lead in sharp criticism of the pres
i ident for refusing to move to For
mosa, an island 100 miles off the
China coast, secure against attack
i by Chinese communists.
