As Creating Problems
By the Associoted Press

NEW DELHI, May 18-Prime
Minister Nehru said today his
governments objections to for
eign missionaries are based sole
ly on political grounds. not re-
ligiouS.
During a foreign affairs de-
bate in Parliament, he said
Christianity is one of the oldest
religions in India and foreign
missionaries had done excellent
work here, especially in educa-
ton and social welfare.
But there were already thou
sands of foreign missionaries in
India, he said, and the creation

we do not want to leave a legacy

but did not indicate that there
are any of great significance. He
said there is question as tC
whether Congress will pass the
legislation, but he did not indi-
cate any expectation that this
will be serious stumbling
block.
President Eisenhower ex.
pressed his interest in the in.
tegration question when the
Commissioners went to the White
House this morning to witness
the signing of the Districts $3Os
million public works bill.
The President asked the three
District, officials to stay a few
minutes after the ceremony and
then said he was very much in
terested in the school situation
here, Mr. Spencer said. The
President said he would be very
appreciative if the Commission
erS would keep him advised of
all plans proposed for putting
integration into effect.
Commissioner Spencer told
reporters the President. asking
the city heads to stay a few
minutes, after today's works bill
signing, said he was very much
interested in the school situation
here and would be very appre-
ciative if the city heads keep
him advised when any plans
even tentative plans-are pro-
posed for putting integratior
into effect here.
Mr., Spencer said the Presi-
dent asked to see even prelim-
mary suggestions.
Won't Set Deadline.
James C. Hagerty, White
House press secretary. when
asked if the President wanted
to approve or disapprove the
plans. said no, that Gen Eisen-
hover was Just interested since
the District was a Federal city
and different from the States.
Mr.. Hagerty said the Presi-
dent was not attempting to set
any deadline but merely wanted
to be kept informed.
The President already is on
record as favoring an end to
racial bars in the Capital.
Reporters tried to learn
whether the President wishes to
see the Capital become a model
for the Nation on school integra-
ton. The impression was given
that this is the case.
Commissioner Spencer sum-
moned today's meeting with
Srchool officials to discuss the
whole situation regarding the
court anti-segregation decision
and its effect on the District.
Doubts Seen Vanishing.
The question of the Districts
legal right to go ahead with in
tegratlon was raised by several
School Board members and Mr..
Spencer himself. Some of the
School Board members favoring
quick integration were among
those in doubt prior to today's
meeting.
But Mr.. Spencer said there

Commissioner Spencer. along
with school board members. first
expressed doubt about the Dis
trict's legal status under the
partial ruling.
Since the courts final decree
is yet to come. the legal ques-
ton, Mr.. Spencer said. was
whether the statutes which the
District has regarded as requir-
ing segregation are yet ineffec-
tive. Mr.. West maintained they
are. -
Sharpe Differs;
Board of Education President
C. Melvin Sharpe differed fatty
with Mr.. West. Mr.. Sharpe pre-
dicted that if the school board
decides for integration in the
fall, citizens opposing immediate
integration would obtain a court
injunction against it..
Mr.. Sharpe. said that in his
view the school board must con-
tinue operating the schools as at
present until the Supreme Court
hands down its final decree.
DR.. Corning also issued a state
ment yesterday asserting that
neither he nor the Board of Edu-
cation would be able to take any
action on integration before the
courts final ruling. DR.. Corning's
statement apparently was made
before Mr.. Vests opinion became
known, however, and it was not
submitted to the school board in
advance.
Technically it is up to the
Board of Education alone to de-
eide whether to integrate the
school system in the fall. The
board has exclusive control Of
school policies.

German cartelists resent the Schumann Plan as a

In 1945 the Allies adopted policies designed to
break up the cartels and giant monopolies. But
effective implementation was not achieved in
many important cases. Now the responsibility has

maybe you're ra1ner 11reo OF
reading my pieces about our
town. Indeed. I have in hand
letter that asks me. rs there no
town but yours? ;. And pray tell
me. which is your town? Please
identify it so that we may all
know a town that is as important
as you pretend yours is"
l am introducing this column
in this way because I am about
again to write about our town and
about something that has just
occurred in it. Since the gentle
man in the letter asks, I should
tell him: Our town is Cincinnati
where I have lived my life.
If you don't know Cincinnati as
well as you should. I'll tell you:
Cincinnati is a seat of Judaism
in America. II is the cradle of Re-
form Judaism founded here. in its
American style. by Rabbi Isaac M.
Wise. The people here keep on
revering his name though he has
been in his grave more than so
years. Here stands the Hebrew
Union College which Wise Gre.
ated and out of which Reform
rabbis are produced. Here. too.

American Hebrew Congregations

sought the prestige of residing in
New York. mistakenly. I think.
We have a dozen or more
Orthodox synagogues and a dozen
or more Jewish cemeteries, each
representing one of the varieties
of Jewish life.
Here we have a couple of Re-
form temples. each more than 100
years old. each with a large con-
gregation of a thousand families
or so. And that's what this par
ticular column is all about.
Yes, the Jewish community of
our town lately has felt startled
deep down to its historic depths.
The two Reform temples of it's
long history shortly are to be
three. That is to say, the co-rabbi
of one of the temples was resign
ing from there to organize third
Reform congregation.
The talk is this way and that.
Some ask. Do we really need an
other Reform congregation? Don't
we find God enough in the old
temples? Shouldn't we keep
standing by old local religious
history? Won't a third congrega-
lion cause the memberships of
the two old temples to be broken
up? There may be LOT of people
going from the old temples to the
new one which will be closer to
the new Jewish neighborhood.
have a ready answer for peo-
pie who speak that way. I say:
Maybe, it's really a good thing to
break up congregations that get
too big, with smaller ones. Then
tell them a story on the dis
advantage of congregations get
ting too big, maybe.
It's an old story of mine which
was printed in this column some
20 years ago. and you may be
young enough never to have
heard il and if you are elderly
you've probably forgotten il. So

Judas Didn't Do Much

The betrayal was such a ire
mendous thing, really, yet per
haps to Judas at first it did not
seem like much We wonder why
Judas could ever have done such
a crime. and the answer may be
that Judas did not think of it as
a crime, beforehand No doubt the
men OF the Sanhedrin urged that
point on him. We can imagine
hearing them say Nov Judas.

ing waged by Jason Lucas, angl-
ing editor of Sports Afleld maya
zine. We'd like to start the ball
rolling to get the channel catfish
recognized by both sportsmen and
conservation departments, as an
excellent game fish.
Why should he get less recogni-
ton and protection than the wall
eye and the crappie when he'll
put up a better scrap if taken on
suitably light tackle-about the
same that you'd use for bass? And
don't forget his top-rank table

OF course, there are catfish and
catfish. In North America there
are about IS species. from the
two-inch madtom sometimes used
as bait to the blue cat, one of
which weighted 100 pounds
Too many fishermen regard all
our catfish as Of one inferior
class Of scavengers. Some of the
catfish family are scavengers, in
habiting filthy polluted water.
That's only because their aston
ishing vitality lets them thrive
where almost no other fish could
live.
The channel cat is probably as
hardy as any of the other, but
he is very unlike them in this
respect: he has a strong aversion
to stagnant or man polluted
waters. Though you'll find him in
lakes. his preference seems to be
the clear water Of streams or riv-
erS where he will be found in the

same places that might be favored
by large rainbow trout And he is

Referring to economic conditions Mr.
Eisenhower said unemployment "happily
shows every sign now of leveling off ~ The
government is ready to undertake measures
to prevent depression but docs not in

These statements are reassuring The
Eisenhower policy has been to effect econo-
mics, reduce useless government spending
and reduce taxes. Eagerness to reduce
taxes has superseded the more con
national budget first.
Reductions in government spending ma
turally curtail buying power to some ex-

general readl ustment to more normal con

killing insects, such as bark BEETLES, cannot
be controlled by spraying. To combat these
bugs, infested and threatened trees must
be taken out of the woods. The best way to
combat tree-killing insects and diseases
is to harvest trees at maturity. Over-ripe
trees are poor risks. Selective cutting of
ripe trees allows the younger growth to
mature, or the area to reseeed itself in
natures way or by reforestation.
To assist smaller tree farmers, the state
and federal governments have establish
ed forestry services, manned by trained for
esters, who advise and assist the growers
in expert handling of woodlands. The serv-
ice is generally without cost except for a
small charge for marking the ripe trees.

are dry, the greatest danger is mans care
