Greatest Mistake America Could Make Would Be to Forget Communism's Plan for World Revolution, Conquest

WASHINGTON, R-President Eisenhower said Tuesday the greatest mistake America could make would be to lose sight of Russia's quest for world revolu- ton and domination.
 His statement at news confer ence was in reply to question as to whether there is any real indi- cation the Soviet Unions talk of peaceful ceixistence means a basic change in attitude.
 Eisenhower said Russia lately has been talking in a somewhat different tone-apparently mean ing less belligerently.
 But everything he has ever read about the Communists makes it clear that their ultimate objective is world revolution and domina- ton of centrally controlled state, the President added.
 Eisenhower discussion of the international situation w a S touched off by a request for com ment on fears expressed by Sen. Knowland of California, the Sen ate Republican leader, that Russia is promoting a policy of peaceful coexistence as a Trojan horse to Hull the United States into false sense of security.
 Eisenhower said you have to distinguish between peaceful CO., existence and just coexistence.
 And, he said, he wanted to en- phasize there is no tendency on the part of the United States to take anything for granted in con- nection with relations with Russia.
 A reporter asked Eisenhower for comment on "the propriety" of Knowland's publicly questioned administration foreign policy.
 The President laughed and told the newsmen he must have spent most of the morning thinking that one up.
 Then he said that under the Constitution the President is charged with the conduct of for eign affairs, and the secretary of state is his chief aide in that field.
 Later in the news conference, a reporter asked Eisenhower wheth- CT the Senate majority leader, who is elected by party members in the Senate, is not a Senate agent rather than a representative of the executive branch. Eisen- hover replied he though that was so.
 The President said he tries his best to get legislative consultation and approval in advance in the international field. He also noted that what he called binding agree ments, such as treaties, must be approved by tWo-thirds of the Senate.

stricken from a QUESTIONABLE
which forms part of the per-
manent written records of stu
dents at George Washington High

The question teachers were re-
quested to answer on each stu

to doubt the students loyalty
to the United StateS?"
1t was deleted after a Parent
Teacher Association member and
a representative of the League
of Women Voters talked to school
officials.
The question will still be an
swered for prospective Govern
ment employers who must have
a reply in connection with job
applications. according to Edgar
Pruet. principal of the high
school. But instead of checking
the written record. school Office
workers will have to wait until

New wYork-D. Move
To Shift Convention Of
EpiscopaIians Fails
BY the Assoeioted Press

HOUSTON, Tex, May 12.-
Bishop Henry Knox Sheriff. of
the Episcopal Church says the
denominations 1855 general con-
vention will not be moved from
Houston as requested by two
dioceSeS.
New York Episcopalians yes
terday asked that the meeting
be transferred unless Houston
guarantees non-Segregated fa-
cilities. The action came in the
form of a unanimous reoommen-
dation passed at the convention
of the New York Diocese.
The New York move followed
a similar action May 3 in Wash
ington, D. c., where that diocese
also criticized segregation in
Houston.
However, Bishop Sheriff., the
church's presiding officer, told
Houston newspapermen by tele-
phone last night he had no au-
thority to change a convention
site.
Houston was picked in Boston
in 1852 at the last Episcopal
general convention, the bishop
said, land I have no authority
to overrule the action of the
convention. He said there is no
procedure for reconvening the
group to pick another meeting
city.
Unless the diocese of Texas
withdraWs the invitation, and
barring some great calamity like
a tornado or a hydrogen bomb"
the convention will be held in
Houston, Bishop Sherill said.
The Rt. Rev. Clinton S. Quinn,
bishop of the Diocese of Texas,
commented:
Il am sorry we seem to be un-
Christian to New York and
Washington, but I have hunch
that we have as much religion in
Texas as they do up there, and
we're not going to be pushed
around by agitators.

Mrs. George F. Galland. presi-
dent of the League of Women
Voters of Alexandria, said league
members had raised a question
as to the appropriateness of the
loyalty question. Mrs. Galland
said a league committee chair
man, who talked to school off,
Gals, was told that others had
commented on the query and it
was being dropped from the
QUESTIONABLE.
The league president said she
felt it is improper to evaluate a
child on such a serious question.
Mrs Galland added she believes
it is unfair to request teachers
to answer the question because
they are not trained loyalty eval-
uators.
Mr.. Pruet said that in the two
years the question has been
asked, the answer always has
been mo" He said some persons
were concerned that possible vim
dictiveneSs of a teacher could
