Four years ago, when Communist China poured shout and shell on the Nationalist-held offshore islands of Quemoy and Matsu, President Eisenhower came to a decision never publicly announced: U.S. force would be used to help fight off invasion of Quemoy and Matsu by Red China. Last week, with shout and shell raining again (see FOREIGN NEWS), the U.S. saw Quemoy and Matsu as being of even greater importance than in 1954. Said the President at press conference: the Nationalists now have one-third of their strength deployed on the offshore islands, and loss of that strength would lay Formosa...

Most are made of stretch nylon, come in a rainbow of colors-witch black, seaweed green, wild teal and fire orange. They are often worn with shell shoes, sneakers or moccasins.

In Champion (1949), his hero was a heel who could hit, and would hit anybody to get to the top; in High Noon (1952), a lawman alone against four avenging gunslingers. The Defiant Ones, in terms of its plot, is equally spare: two men escape from a Southern chain gang and are hunted down by a sheriff and his posse.
