The Week in RELIGION
By Religious News Service

American religious leaders CEN
tered attention last week on
the need to improve relations
between the races.
Next Sunday is Race Rela-
tons Sunday. For use in thou
sands of the country's Protestant
pulpits, the National Council of
Churches issued a statement
analysing the status of discrim-
ination and segregation.
The council message was not
calculated to make churchmen
complacent.' It did point to con-
siderable progress made by
Americans toward better race
relations in the last decade or
so. But it also warned the
churches.
Further Advances Needed.
Significant advances" still
must be made within the
churches themselves, said the
statement. ut is still true that
only in exceptional instances do
white and non-white Christians
worship regularly together"
Furthermore. the council add
ed, racial prejudice and discrim-
ination in social life in some
church-supported colleges, hos
pitfalls and home contradict
their Christian profession"
The statement urged Ameri-
cans to ask themselves whether
they are building on the religious
principles of freedom. equality
and fraternity on which this
Nation was founded.
Arguing that Christians must
match creed with deed" the
council said:
THE genuine satisfaction of
partial progress in secular af-
fairs is Cancelled out by the con-
tinuing condemnation of our
selves for failing to live as
children of God, brothers Of one
another"
Ground for Satisfaction.
Despite this self -criticism, the
Protestant and Orthodox leaders
admitted there were grounds for
genuine satisfaction by Amer
leans.
Members Of minority groups.

it easier to get a job. Public
travel is more "congenial" for
Negroes. There is somewhat less
discrimination in housing. The
franchise is denied to fewer per-
sons. Universities are being
opened up to Negroes. Lynch

Race Relations Day. Many
Jewish congregations will observe
a Race Relations Sabbath on
Friday evening and Saturday.
The Central Conference of
American Rabbis issued a mes
sage for the occasion. The

Americans to rededicate them
selves to the principle of equal

The message urged passage of

Other organizations, especially
in the South, have been working
for understanding in areas where
segregation and other discrim-
inatory practices have been
traditional.
Both the Virginia Council of
Churches and the recently
formed Texas Council of
Churches have called upon
Christians in their States to &C
cept whatever ruling the United
States Supreme Court makes on
segregation in public schools.
The Board Of Directors of the
National Council of Catholic
Women urged all Catholics to
work for a peaceful settlement
Of the school segregation prob
lem.
Noting that many Catholic
parochial schools had been able
to accomplish racial indignation,
the directors said they believed
a similar racial policy could be
achieved in the public schools.

Dulles Briefing Opens
Session 5 Work in
Foreign Affairs Field
BY j. A. oLeory

The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee was preparing today
to make the mutual assistance
treaty with Korea the first in
ternational problem considered
at this session.
Chairman Wiley made this
announcement after Secretary
of State Dulles gave the COM
mittee closed-door briefing
late yesterday on the situation
at trouble spots around the
world.
Senator Wiley told reporters
the Secretary defended the ad-
ministration's plan to withdraw
some American troops from
Korea on the ground that the
number there was excessive by
any standard" Mr.. Dulles
pointed out that since the armis-
tice more Korean troops have
been trained and, since the
armistice agreement prohibits a
net increase in strength. those
Korean troops can be equipped
only if United States troops are
Withdrawn and their equipment
left behind.
Secretary Dulles told the
senators he does not think the
Communists plan to resume hos
tilities.
Turning to the Middle East
the Secretary reported the situa-
ton in Iran has improved
markedly since last summer. He
said informal talks about a de-

CHICAGO. Jan. 8.-How do
you deal with the wave of post
war juvenile crime? Are the par
entS at fault, or are the courts
too eaSy-or too tough?
One of Chicago'S top-ranking
judges faced that problem
squarely yesterday but couldn't
find a ready answer.
Chief JUSTICE Charles S.
Dougherty of Criminal Court
warned two teen-age offenders
just a few months ago that he
was giving them last chance.
Another arrest, he warned, could
mean a 5 to 20 year sentence.

porting their stand that Uncle
Sam should not interfere in dis
putes over segregation in State
schools.
In outlining this program. Gen.
Eisenhower repeatedly conceded
that he was speaking in general
terms.
Details, he said, would be given
in a series of special messages
on agriculture and labor next
Monday; on health problems
January 18; on the budget jan
uary 81; on housing January 25;
and on economic problems jan
uary %.
Halleck Optimistic.
House Republicans held a pep
meeting soon after Gen. Eisen-
hover finished speaking. Repub-
lican Leader Halleck predicted
afterwards that Congress would
pass "a substantial part of the
administration program. Other
Republicans such as House
Speaker Martin also predicted
general success for the Eisen-
hover program. but many feared
that the controversy contained in
the multitidinous proposals would
keep Congress here past the pres
ent July target date for ad-
journment.
Most congressional comment
followed party lines.
Republican Senator Wiley of
Wisconsin called the Eisenhower
address "a masterful charter for
American freedom and security" d"
Democratic Senator Nicely of
West Virginia. borrowing a
phrase from Shakespeare, re-
marked that Gen. Eisenhower
speaks an infinite deal of Moth
ing"
Independent Senator Morse of
Oregon said the State of the
Union address was "a master
piece of platitudes."

Big U. ). Aluminium
Deposits Reported
BY the Assoeioted Press

HARRISBURG. Jan. 8.-Large
deposits of high content alumi-
mum clay that could supply the
Nation with aluminium have
been discovered in a 5000
souare-mile area of Western
Pennsylvania, the State Geologic
Survey disclosed today.
"A report is in preparation on
the deposits said CARLYLE Gray
State geologist. The area has
been mapped and studied care
fully"
Mr.. Gray added. however. that
lack of funds in his bureau may
prevent immediate publication
OF the report.
"If we were cut off from
foreign sources, the deposits
would become an important
domestic source" Mr.. Gray
noted. Most ore used now is
imported from South America.
Robert Bolger. assistant State
geologist who is preparing the
extensive report. said the clay
contains alumina deposits run
ming as high as 10 per cent
while the average is about 40
per cent.
The fields are quite extern
Sive." Mr.. Bolger explained
adding that there are underlying
deposits in large sections of
Western Pennsylvania centering
approximately around Clearf1eld
County.
The biologists said the process
of extracting the aluminium from
the Pennsylvania clay is still
more expensive than the extrac-
tiOn from the foreign ores.

Eisenhower Program Faces
Uncertain Fate in Congress .

Senate Finance Committee said
he will call the group together.
possibly next week. to consider
the debt limit ceiling. But
Senator Byrd. Democrat. OF Vir-
ginia. promised he will continue
his fight against any increase.
Last year he. helped persuade
the committee to table the pro-
poSal, II to A..
An Associated Press survey
showed that Of the IL Senators
who voted against the scheme
last year, two are now ready to
support a debt limit increase.
Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia, said he likely would
favor "a reasonable increase"
and Senator. Flanders, Republi-
can. Of Vermont, said he was in
clined to accept a rise of up to
$40 billion.
Outlines Defense.
Defense-Gen. Eisenhower said
the United States is placing more
reliance on the Air Force, Navy
and nuclear weapons, and should
Join Canada in constructing the
st. Lawrence seaway in order to
improve our military defensive
potential. Aid to our foreign
friends. he said, can be cut.
Trade should be freer.
Some congressman expressed
fear that the administration
might be going too far" in
trimming land forces. but hesi-
tated to challenge Gen. Eisen-
hover in his own special field.
The Senate expects to debate a
st. Lawrence seaway bill within
the next few weeks.
Postal RateS-Gen. Eisenhower
said Congress should increase
some postal rates and set up
a commission with authority to
change rates in the future.
Postmaster General Summer
field predicted the plan would
pass: Senator Johnston. Demo-
crat, of South Carolina said,
Congress will soundly defeat
any effort by the administration
to seize control of this very i'm
portant aspect of our American
economy"
Labor and Welfare-The Taft
Hartley Act should be amended,
the President said, and unem-
ployment insurance extended to
an additional 65 million persons,
and social security to an addi-
tional 10 million.
Numerous Republicans - but
almost no Democrats-applauded
Gen. Eisenhower's approach to
Taft-Hartley as "basically a
sound law"
Republican House Floor Leader
Halleck said today a bill to
amend Taft-Hartley will be
among the first measures to be
debated in the House this year.
He pointed out that the House
Labor Committee last year held
extensive hearings on the labor
law. He felt no further House
: hearings were needed.

not provide sufficient school

Pakistan, Iran and possibly
other states in the area are
going on. He said the chief
difficulty is the relations between
Pakistan and India. The COM
mittee was told that no decision
has been reached on United
States military aid to Pakistan.
In Europe Secretary Dulles
described that the NATO setup

weak because of no provision for

would participate if the NATO
countries on the continent
would ratIfy the European De-
fense Community treaty.

on the growth of small business,
and offer more liberal tax treat

work. for widows or widowers
with dependent children, and for

Immediately" House Speaker
Martin predicted that the tax
proposal lis where we will have
our biggest difficulty"
Almost all Ways and Means
members. both Republicans and
Democrats. called for more or
bigger reductions than the Presi-
dent proposed.
Agriculture Present t rigid
supports of 80 per cent of parity
on six basic crops should be re-
placed by flexible system of
supporting prices at high levels
when supplies are short. and at
lower prices when supplies are
generous.
Of more than so Congressman
who commented, only two Sem
ators-Chairman Aiken of the
Agriculture Committee and for
mer Democratic Secretary of Ag-
riculture Anderson of New Mex
ico-gave warm support to the
idea of flexible supports. Senator
Eastland. Democrat. of Missis-
sippi, said the flexible idea is
dead as a doornail.'
Hearings Held on Voting.
Voting Age-Gen. Eisenhower
asked Congress to propose con-
stitutional amendment to reduce
the voting age from 81 to Is.
Almost Immediately. three sep
arate bills to lower the voting
age were introduced, two in the
House and one in the Senate.
Chairman LANCER of the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee said
the committee already has held
hearings on such a plan. and
will vote on it Monday.

grant statehood to Hawaii. He
said nothing about statehood for
Alaska.

Hawaiian Reds Cited
By Stainback in
Opposing Statehood

a JuQge OF CIle oupISIHe NOuTI
OF Hawaii told a Senate Com
mittee today Communist influ-
.enee in the territory makes 1t
dangerous for Congress to con-
fer statehood on Hawaii at this
time.
Associate Judge Ingram M.
Stainback said he believes Ha-
waii should get statehood even
tually, but that in these times of
''hot and cold wars" it would be
better to take the intermediate
step of giving Hawaii the same
commonwealth status conferred
on Puerto Rico.
In 1850, when he was Cover
nor of Hawaii, Judge Stainback
testified in favor of statehood.
In two days of current testi-
mony he has insisted Commu-
mist influence in the islands ap-
pears to have increased in the
past year. He contended this
influence is welded by dOmi-
mating the leadership of the In
ternational Longshoremen's and
WarehouSemen'S Union. Judge
Stainback agreed that the rank
and file of the membership are
not Communists.
Alternative Questioned.
The necessity for substituting
commonwealth status for state
hood was questioned by several
Republicans and one Democrat,
Senator Long of Louisiana. 4
AS a territory. Hawaii already
elects its legislature and a nom
voting delegate to the House. AS
a commonwealth it would elect
its governor but would not send
Senators and Representatives to
Congress.
kSenator Smathers. Democrat,
Of Florida. leading opponent of
statehood, brought out that COM
11onwealth status would keep in
Hawaii the $l40 million the ter
rltory now pays to the Federal
Treasury in taxes.
Should Pay Taxes.
sSenator Long said that the
Hawaiians he has talked to think
they should pay their share in
Federal taxes to the United
States.
Senator Daniel. Democrat, of
Texas asked the witness. if he
thinks the Communist leaders
in Hawaii could exercise sub
Stantial control over two Sen
atorS under statehood.
Judge Stainback said they
could veto any candidate for
public Office even though they
might not be able to elect their
own candidate.
