6ideons 10 Appeal Ban
On Bibles for Pupils
BY the Asseeicted Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-Gideons
International said today 1t will
appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court a recent New Jer-
sey Supreme Court decision
which banned the distribution OF
King James Version Bibles to
school children.
The Gideons headquarters in
Chicago said in a statement:
1--WE firmly believe in the doc
trine of separation of church and
State as expressed in the First
Amendment (of the Constitu-
tom and believe that the New
Jersey Supreme Court Incorrect
ly interprets and construes the
Constitution when it bars school
children from receiving the Bible
with consent of parents"
The statement said that in
1850 a New Jersey Superior Court
ruling, later affirmed. by that
States Supreme Court, held that
the King James Version of the
Bible is not a sectarian book"
The 1858 ruling by the New Jer-
Sey court, the Gideons said, held
that "the Gideon Bible is a Sec
tartan book"
There is mo such thing as a
Gideon Bible,'" the group stated.

u. 5. Military Forces
Al Peacetime Peak,
Wilson Report Says
BY the Assoeioted Press

American armed forces
equipped with atomic weapons
and backboned by air power-are
officially termed the most potent
ever marshaled by this country
short of war"
That's the opinion of Defense
Secretary Wilson. who yesterday
turned in his first formal report
to President Eisenhower on his
conduct of the Nations defense
affairs. The report is required by
law.
Mr.. Wilson dealt chiefly with
developments during the first
half of this year. but the report
also was concerned with the
new look" given United States
strategy and defense needs by
the Nations. military leaders.
This has resulted in greater
stress on air power and reported
plans to reduce the number of
men in Army. Navy and Marine
ranks. AS a possible step in this
direction. the Army announced
yesterday that it is shortening
the active duty tours of some
5000 second and first lieuten-
ants who are not regulars.
Mr.. Wilson called attention to
the success of his team in trim
ming $50 billion from the cur
rent fiscal years military budget.
Any deeper slashes, Mr.. Wilson
said, would have meant a slower
rate of defense buildup than
was prudent from the point Of
view of our national security"
The Secretary's report under
lined his policy of strength
through economy.
Mr.. Wilson. discussing the i'm
portance of Indo-China to the
free world. said the "timeliness"
of American military help to
French forces has been a major
factor in improving the military
situation" there.
Communist Wet Mimi forces

splitting Indo-China and reach
ing the border of Thailand.

ened out by tomorrow but that
was only a hope.
All in all. it seemed likely that
a matter Of weeks and possibly
months will be required to de-
termine finally the union to
represent the dock workers, and
it may be much longer than that
before any real peace comes to
the New York water front.
Three legal hurdles must be
cleared before it is decided
finally whether the old lila,
which the AFL ousted from
membership because it was held
to be crime-ridden, or the new
AFL union. is to represent the
workers. These are:
l. The matter of the chal-
lenged ballots.
2. The charges of illegal con-
duct expected to be filed by the
AFL.
3. Unfair labor practice charges
which the AFL filed earlier
against both the old LA and
waterfront employers.
Ruling May Be Appealed.
AS to the first, the procedure
is for the NLRB regional direc-
tor in New York to make a rul-
ing. This ruling may be appealed
by either side to the five-man
NLRB here for final decision.
That could take a week or more.
The regional director also could
rule on the AFL election objec-
tons. But his decision would
certainly be appealed to the
main NLRB. and either side
would have seven days in which
to do that. The board might
find it necessary to conduct a
hearing before giving it's deci-
sion.
AS for hurdle" No. 3, the
AFL brought the charges of
unfair tices on several
counts. 1t charged the old lila
was dominated by the water
front employers and was, in
fact, a company union, illegal
under the Taft-Hartley Act. It
further charged that many lila
locals had never complied with
Taft-Hartley requirements for
the filing of financial statements,
constitutions and on-Commu-
mist affidavits.
Unions Legality Challenged.
All of the unfair" charges
were filed in an effort to show
that the lila legally could not
take part in an NLRB-sponsored
election to determine the bar
gaining representative: that the
LILA. so to speak. was not a legal
union.
The AFL asked NLRB to rule
on its early charges before set
ting date for the election. But
the board set an early election
on the theory there would be a
port-crippling strike unless the
matter of which union was to
represent the workers was set
tied first.
In setting the election for last
week, the NLRB stated, however,
that if the charges of unfair
practices were subStantiated lat
er, the old lila might be tossed
out, even though it won the elec-
ton.

added that fewer written orders

eff you had a written order

that, the first thing you know

Receiving Home officials said
the notification of police came
as rapidly as possible after the
escape. A spokesman at the
home said the escape came at a
time when the youngsters were
getting ready for breakfast.

Reds Push Nearer
Key French Fortress
In North Indo-China
BY the Associated Press

HANOI. Indo-C China, Dec. 30
Wet Mini rebels frightened their
pressure today on Diem Bien Phu,
the last French fortress in North
west Indo- China. French sources
speculated that it is the ajor
objective in the current Com
munist winter campaign, perhaps
IN preparation for another push
Into the already invaded kingdom
of Laos.
The Red-led invaders who
knitted across Southern Laos to
Thakhek on the Thailand border
last week had made no apparent
new move in four days. But at
Diem Bien Phu. 800 airline miles
to the northwest. troops of the
Wet Mini Iron Division" drew

troops and American supplied
arms.
A French Army spokesman
said strong French Union patrols
claShed twice with Wet Mimi
troops northwest and southwest
OF Diem Bien Phu. There was
a strong indication the Wet
Mini might be trying to move
striking forces into encircling
positions before launching an at
tack.
Nearing Fortress.
The rebels were reported with
in 4 to 6 miles of the fortress,
which was taken by the French
last November 20 and steadily
reinforced by airlift since then.
The French have been expect
ing an attack there by troops
OF Wet Mini Division No. 316-
the Iron Division" equipped
with some of the best and heavi-
est materiel received from Com
muniSt China.
French fighters made heavy
straf1ng attacks on the Wet
Mini as they drew closer to the
fortress 100 miles west of Hanoi.
IN the heart of the biggest rice
ooWl area Of the Thai mountain
country.
French Army sources said if
an attack comes on Diem Bien
Phu, the battle will be hard and
heavy. Fall of the fortress would
not only lose for France its last
major post in the Thai country
bordering on Communist China.
but would also open a major
invasion route into Northern
Laos. where the rebels already
have forces left from the in
vaslon they interrupted last
spring.
Moves Near Capital.
New Wet Mini movements
also were reported in the vicinity
OF the French-held and heavily

capital of Luang Prabang, IFS
miles southwest of Diem Bien

that an attack might be in the

In Saigon. some French circles
speculated that the Wet Mini
leader, Moscow trained Ho Chi
Mimi. is trying to grab all of
Northern Indo-China except the
French-held Red River delta
centered on Hanoi.
These sources thought Ho
might use such a holding, and
the cross-country line his in
vaders cut last week, as the
basis for a division of Indo-
China he would propose in

said recently he might be willing
to hold with the French.
