REASON FOR MOTHERS’ MARCH
Four-year-old Kenny Yarbrough and the thousands of other healthy children like
him are the tangible and personal reasons for the Mothers’ March on Polio, which
will be conducted in Denton and Denton County Monday evening from 6 to 7
o'clock. Kenny’s mother, Mrs. Lonnie Yarbrough, displays the over-sized record
sheet, which she designed for use by mothers of the county during their march. The
campaign Monday evening will be directed in the city through the schools, and in
the rural areas through the county home demonstration clubs. Residents are asked
to leave porch lights burning to indicate donations. (Record-Chronicle Staff Photo by

TAIPEH, Formosa OP—National-
1st China, shaken by the loss f
Yikiangshan. got another jolt
today. ,
Press reports that President Eis
enhower was -considering asking
congressional approval for the use
of U.S. air and sea power in a
possible evacuation of some Na-
tionalist offshore islands came as
a real shock.
- Top Nationalist authorities might
have been told in advance the
President was turning the matter
over in his mind. In any event, they
refused comment.
, OFFICIAL VIEWS
But junior officials familiar with
the top thinking indicated these
views:
1. The Nationalist government
might disagree with Eisenhower on
the wisdom of a withdrawal, but
President Chiang Kai-shek and
other leaders realize the White
House is activated by the best of
motives.
2. If there is a withdrawal, much
as the Nationalists oppose it, it will
be the result of a friendly under-
standing and not through Ameri-
can pressure.
The idea of pulling out from the
threatened Tachens. 200 miles
north of Formosa—and now within
artillery range of the Reds on
Yikiangshan — is extremely dis-
tasteful to the Nationalists.
TO HOLD OUT
A Defense Ministry spokesman
declared today. “So far we have no
plan to evacuate any of our island
outposts. All of them will be de-
fended at all costs.”
But even if the Nationalists agree
to give up the Tachens. they might
insist on holding at least some of
the more important of their other
offshore outposts as a prestige
factor.

Cross suggested the amendments
to speed up future campaigns
which he said “are getting off too
late.”
Members voted to propose
amendrrents that would move the
annual directors' meeting up to
January, a membership meeting in
February, and a report from the
Budget and Admissions Commit-
tee in July.
Cross told the group that bring-
ing these meetings and reports in
earlier would give more time for
actually planning the campaign.
Secretary George Hopkins, Jr.,
will draw up the amendments to
be presented to the membership
for a vote on Feb. H. The exact
time and place of the meeting will
be announced later.
Money was actually the first
topic the directors took up—seek-
ing to find if obligations of the
fund to agencies could be met.
