Unitarians Deny Claim
Church Is Being Used
For Attack on Nation
By the Associated Press

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Aug. A.
Aroused Unitarians have denied the
charges of Federal official that
their church is being used "as a
sounding board for a bold-faced at
tack on the Nation"
That is what Federal Trade Com
missioner Lowell B. Mason claimed
at their Star Island conference
Monday-and then resigned in pro-
test
Two hundred delegates issued a
statement yesterday that the, con-
ference is not lin danger of being
dominated by any one individual
or group"
Mr.. Mason said he took exception
to Sunday address by Prof. Good
win Watson of Columbia University
Teachers College which he MAIN
tanned attached democracy while
favoring Communism"
Not Keynoter, Officials Say.
He said he could only conclude
that Prof. Watson "is opposed to
our American ideology." Unitarian
spokesmen called his charges un-
founded and unfortunate" and de-
MED that Prof. Watson was a key
noter. as Mr.. Mason had contended
Prof. Watson had charged that
'anti-Communist hysteria-in a sit
uation in which every actual viola
ton of freedom is coming from the
right rather than from the left-is
evidence enough in itself of the per-
llous state of our free institutions. u
I'VE are moving rapidly away
from Jefferson's faith that even
error might be safely tolerated when
reason is free to combat it, and are
banning books, firing unorthodox
teachers and setting up machinery
to probe opinions he said.
Hits Both U. S., Soviet Policies.
Prof. Watson added he. was
neither an ardent supporter of the
"Molotov-Marxist" doctrine nor of
the United States policy - that
neither can be accepted as an
honest basis for mutual co-opera
ton. A self-righteous view can cul-
inmate only in war"
Merrill E. Bush, dean of the con-
ference, said that with seven
speakers, each representing his own
position, no one point of view can
correctly be said to represent the
position of the participants.
On the conference floor yesterday
the Rev. Harry Scholefield, minister
of the First Unitarian Church,
Philadelphia. said Mr.. Mason's
Evening star., 1948-08-04

statement was a very great dis
service to the conference.
Attack ON Wallace Cited.
Mr.. Mason, who continued to at.
tend the conference, answered:
Il did not come up here to win
any popularity contest I came here
as Unitarian and an American
and I'm proud Of both these
heritages."
In Boston, the American Unitarian
Association stated:
Mr.. Mason Is fearful that Henry
Wallace partisans will take over the
conference.
I'VE suggest that he take back to
Star Island supply of the current
number of our official magazine

as two-fisted a denunciation Of the
whole Wallace movement as has
appeared in any religious journal
in this country
1t explained, however, that the

articles on Mr.. Wallace-pro and

Storm Again Power

Kodiak celebrated George Washington's birthday more completely than it had planned to, when the second electrical breakdown in a month put B halt Monday to almost all the towns business activities. Ted Rozak, who said after last months storm caused black out that anything else would be anti, climactical, changed his mind this week to report that the second collapse of the elee- trical distribution system was worse than the first.
 Although repairs were easier | this tune, due to greater access sibility of fallen poles and loca- tion of the breaks was such that more of the town could receive power while repairs were being made, cost of the bIt akdown will be close to $2,00O, Mr. Ro- aak said. He sad cost of the January breakdown was $l260. A major factor ln the higher cost this time, he explained, was that about 5 miles of secondary and service wires were downed by heavy snow and ice on the wires.
 First pole down Monday was the one bebind Clark's Garage, which, with it's 3 transformers fell at AS am. The wires burnt 8 hole in the roof of the garage. At 8:35 the poles behind 0. Kraft and Son and the Town Club fell, each carrying a trans former. The transformer oa the Kraft pole was caught on the hand rall on the small bridge there and was undamaged
 By Tuesday evening, a new pole was raised back of tlrafi's and power switched on immedi- ately to the meat m 4rket ,reez- 1T. The Clark's Garage pole With 3 transformers was up by We'd nesday night and the one at the Town Club Thursday.

Circulate
 Petition

Annoyance of some local KEA members with eut- of-city con- trai of the electric association came to a head this week, with tho second power breakdown in amonth, and a petition to the Hural Electric Association ir Washington, D C., asking an in- vestigation, is currently being circulated.
 A maier factor in both break dcwns has been the rotting poles. New ones to replace them were erdered last summer, but the or- der was cancelled by Herbert G. Bryan, Alaska KEA representa- tive, the local KEA reports.
 The petition is sponsored by several irate citizens who have suffered electrical blackouts two ar three times this winter. Some ef them are also writing letters to the KEA, elaborating on the local conditions
 The petition reads as follows: We, members and users of the KEA, request an immediate in, vestigation on the activities of your Alaska representative, Her hart G. Bryan, in tying the hands of our Board of Directors to the extent that the program which had already been planned hor last summer to replace rotted Beles was abandoned, which re- suited in two major breakdowns, which have caused much distress and loss of business.
 "We request that you ascer. eain the number of poles that were broken during the January and February storms. and had to be replaced during the worst possible weather. and also ascpr- tain the mum CT of poles still up, that are so rotted that they are dangerous to life and property, which information will be proof to you that our request to you is urgent "
 Ted RozaA, KEA manager, said this week ttat l6 poles throughout the city are in bad shape and should be replaced immediately

Results in the Republican presi-
Dental convention last Thursday
ran true to speculation as Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey of New York
was nominated on the third ballot
to head the ticket in the November
elections.
On Friday, the convention
strengthened the COP ticket by
unanimously nominating Dewey's
personal choice, Gov. Earl Warren,
of California, for the vice-presi-
dency.
Dewey had a substantial lead
over chief contenders Taft, Stas-
sen, Vandenberg, and Warren on
the first ballot, which he increased
on the second ballot. A "Stop-
Dewey" move was begun, but when
the bandwagon began, the move
was halted, and on the third bal
lot, Gov. Dewey was unanimously
nominated.

that he had made no personal OBJ
