Mr.. Young, "that a new building

Webb q Knapp said its present

From building industry sources
it was learned that such struc-

around 500 million.
The 102-story Empire State

to pass on the qualifications Of
the teachers employed by the
colleges. Some institutions re-
fused the contract and pro-
tested that they should re-
tain the right to choose their
own teachers. but other coll
leges needed the money and
accepted the coercive order.

force Catholic colleges to en-
ploy an equal number Of Prot
estant teachers. or 1t could re-
quire that Protestant colleges
shall not discriminate against
Catholic teachers.
There are all sorts of far
reaching implications In the
new doctrine that the Pres
ident may at will regulate EN-
ployment practices. Employers
who sell any products or serv-
ices to the Government must
see to 1t that they hire an
equal number of applicants
from each nationality -Ital-
ians, Greeks, Germans. British,
French or personssof any other
national origin lest they be
acc used Of discrimination.
They will have to be careful
also as to how many Protest
ants or Catholics or Jews they
employ, as well as making sure
white and Negro employees are
in equal proportion
It will be recalled that
during the 1852 presidential
campaign Gen. Eisenhower
told audiences in the South
that he did not favor a conn

lieved only in q voluntary"
application Of the principle of

though Congress has refused to

pulsory FEPC, the President
has set up his own ''FFPC"
covering $50 billion worth Of
work on Government con-
tracts, which is a substantial
segment Of the nation al
economy.
There is a right way and a
wrong way to get human
beings to stop the uncharitable
and un-C Christian practice of
discriminating against their
fellow citizens on account Of
race or religion or color, but
it may be questioned whether
coercion by executive order is
the right way to achieve the
goal.

At the moment we as a Ma
ton do not seem to be as pop
ular in other parts of the
world as we might be-and
should be.
It hardly seems necessary
to say that we should be so. in
order to be more effective
in our leadership of the free
nations of the world. as well
as in protecting our own ma
tional security. All of which
raises the question of ways in
which we can create good will,
of which there are many.
There is one that we have
been using, though not near
to the extent that we could or
should. That is the distrihu-
ton of the food SURPRISES that
cram our warehouses, to help
feed the hungry in other coun-
tries. That serves q SelflSn m
terest here at home. as well.
For these surpluses complicate
the problem of our Govern
ment and our farmers In con-
trolling agricultural production
and prices and cost our tax
payers many millions every
year in storage costs.

ened the laws covering dis
tribution of farm SURPRISES.

ident Eisenhower. who urged

enthusiastically participated.
There has been a real purge
here. and the failure of High
Commissioner James B. CO.
nant to fight it more vigor-
ously has cost him some Of the
prestige that was his as presi-
dent of Harvard.
The result is that there are
many new people at occupation
headquarters. Some of them
perhaps all-are experienced
men. But antiseptic though
they may be, and dear to Mr..
Mcleod, they have one fatal
flaw from a journalists point
of view. They don't seem to
know anything about Ger
many.
This is the price Of McCar-
thyism. Unless we are very
lucky, it will be a high price.
The principal opposition to
DR.. Adenauer is the Social
Democratic Party. Fortunately
for him, it has lost its exciting
figures - Mayor Reuter-, Kurt
Schumacher-and is headed by
the relatively colorless Erich
Ollenhauer. Herr Ollenhauer is
one Of those people who would
be easily lost in a crowd, and
DR.. Adenauer, a man around
whom legends cling, disposed
of him easily last year.
The Social Democrats, how
ever, believe that the Western
crisis of confidence. which be-
gan at the Berlin Conference
last spring, will give them fresh
ammunition.
Their spokesman are candid
about the party position. which
seems to be q determination
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-09-08

that the unification OF Ger
many comes ahead Of every
thing else. In their discussion
of it, the hidden issue Of Ger
man politics pops out.
Germans are still fighting
the Reformation. The Russian
zone is heavily Protestant, and
the Social Democrats want 1t
back, lest they be overwhelmed
by the conservative Catholic
influence of which DIR. Ade-
nauer is a symbol.
To that end, the Social
Democrats are demanding q
Horsepower conference to dis
cuss the unification of Ger
many. Apparently they are
ready to take risks with the
Russians to get it. though they
emphasize that they hate the
Communist system and were
the first to fight it.
They do not like the EDO
concept. which, they say.
ranges Germany with the con-
sentative Catholic countries,
and leaves out the Scandina-
VANS and the British. They
believe a German national
army must be safeguarded
against resurgence of militia
riSn.
On the domestic side, they
admit that Germany has made
a remarkable recovery. They
profess to believe, however,
that the workingman is losing
ground to greater profits for
the few. It Is asserted that
the national income was for
merly divided about $3.50 but
that wages have fallen while
profits rose, so that the dis
tribution is now 1855.

American Difficulties at Bonn
AntisePtc U. S. Occupation Aides Are Experienced.
But They Don't Seem to Know About Germony

BONN-It is an old habit of
American diplomacy to put all
its eggs in one basket when
dealing with foreign govern

evident at present than in
Bonn, the West German capt.

completely absorbed in Chan

not universally admired here.

I Soviet Diplomats
Expelled by Britain;
Accused Of Spying
BY The Asseeiotsd Press

LONDON, May S.-Britain to-
day accused two Soviet diplomats
Of attempted spying and gave
them 10 days to get out of the
country.
The Foreign Office said Ivan
Pupyshev, SO, and Andrei Gud-
kov. 81, both majors in the Red
Air Force. had abused their

military secrets.
A spokesman refused to go
into detail about the espionage
allegations. but said no atomic
information was involved. He
would not divulge whether Brit
ish subjects had aided the Rus
slams.

and with children, had been here

No Comment BY SOviets
Spokesman at the Soviet en-
baSsy would not comment. Mr..
Malik was reported unavailable.
Maj. Pupyshev and Maj. Gu
dov, both fair-haired and husky,
have the reputation of being

dozen other Soviet military,

families in a rambling 16-room,

away from their embassy in Ken

All the curtains were drawn and
pinned together at the attaches

as the Russians keep here.

Carolina Store
Employees Feted
At Yule Party
BY BILL WILLIAMS

Employees of four Carolina
Department Stores were enter
tanned Tuesday night at a Christ
mas banquet held at Mrs. Todd's
in their honor by their employer,
Mr.. S. p. Smith.
Besides an excellent turkey din
ner prepared by Mrs. Todd, the
evenings program consisted of
two games, directed by Mr.. Smith,
and presents for everyone.
The four stores represented
were those in Clarkton, Conway
Fairmont. and Tabor City. EN-
ployecs of the Loris store were
unable to attend.
The highlight of the banquet
came when Mr.. Smith introduced
the after dinner speaker, who was,
of course, Mr.. Smith. After a few
words of welcome, Mr.. Smith
congratulated and thanked the
guests for their fine work during
the past year. He was warmly APP
plauded and apologiscd for not
speaking longer explaining that
Mrs. Smith had told him not to
talk too much. Mrs. Smith was
warmly applauded.
Two games, "Bingo" and Hon
est john" were featured. and
prizes were awarded to the WIN
ncrs. The prizes included several
silver dollars and number of
items which came from the Caro-
lima Department Store in Tabor
City and which Mr.. Smith de-
Scribed as the finest of their
type"
After dinner everyone assembl-
ed in the living room to receive
Christmas presents from their
host. They formed a circle and
while Here Comes Santa Claus"
was played on the piano, passed
the gifts from hand to hand until
the music stopped. AT this point
each participant was to keep the
gift he had in his hand, but Mr..
Smith recognized the wrapping
on his gift and suggested that they
let it go around again"
Everyone was wished a Merry
Christmas and agreed that this
years Christmas party was one
of the most successful in the his
tory of the annual affair.

For they are doing something
not just for their own enjoyment
