Eisenhower Sees Election as a Vote For His Program

WASHINGTON, R-President Eisenhower said today he consid- CTS the election results something of mandate to push forward with his program of what he calls modern Republicanism.
 Eisenhower told a news con- ference he intends to do this thru persuasion, since he is not one of the desk pounding type who likes to stick out his jaw and try to look as if he is bossing the works.
 To a question as to how he in- terprets the election of a Demo- cratic-controlled Congress in the light of his opinion that the voting was an endorsement of modern Republicanism, the Chief Execu- tive replied that:
 The United States has not yet been convinced that modern Re- publicanism is with us and is go- ing to be the guiding influence Of the Republican Party.
 He was asked whether he had or would use his influence with Gov. Allan Shivers of Texas to try to get Senate seat for Re publicans.
 Eisenhower replied with em- phasis and broad smile that the internal affairs of the State of Texas are something with which he would never dream of interfer- ing. But he said that yes, he wants Republican senator from Texas. In Texas, Sen. Price Daniel, a Democrat, won the gubernatorial election and the question of how and when his Senate seat will be filled has become a prime political topic.
 Whether a Democrat or a Re- publican fills Daniels seat could determine which party will con- trol the Senate in the new Con- gress that convenes Jan. 3.

Hawaii's Statehood Chances May Be Threatened by Influence of
 Communist Hinged Longshore Union

HONOLULU, R-Gov. Samuel King yesterday busted the most important member of his cabinet his attorney general-only a few weeks before congressional committee is to arrive for Com munist hearings in Hawaii.
 Edward N. Sylva, appointed by the Republican governor March {, 1853, was fired Thursday for at tending a testimonial dinner Sat urday night in honor of Jack w.. Hall, regional director of the h. ternational Longshoremen's and warehousemen's Union. The pres ident of this union is Harry Bridges.
 Political observers said the tes- timonia1 dinner put territorial politicians in one of the toughest spots possible.
 If they attended the dinner and many did, Republicans as well as Democrats-they all face possible attack from Sen. James Eastland D-Miss) and his Senate Internal Affairs Subcommittee at hearings Nov. 27-30.
 Failure to attend could be con strued as an attack on the 24,000- member union. Tn Hawaii, 24,000 votes usually is more than the diff ference between election and de- feat.
 Adding to the tension is the fact Hall is out on bail as a convicted Communist.
 He was tried with six others in 1853 at one of nationwide series of trials of second-string Commu- nists. All seven were convicted of Smith Act violations, conspirine to teach and advocate the over throw of the government by vio- lence.
 Halls case, along with the oth- CTS, is on appeal.

High School Students at Chamber
 Of Commerce Meeting Suggest Needed Improvements They'd Like to See

Three high school students, Barbara Trigg, Sadie Bell and Chuck Fagerstrom, were invited guests at the Chamber of Com merce luncheon Tuesday and pre- sented Improvements Would Like to See in Nome" Barbara stressed the need for better housing to improve our health conditions, especially to help curb tuberculosis, and the need for sewage and garbage dis posal. She also spoke of the pro posed youth center and the need for supervised teenage program.
 She stated that of the people of Nome get behind the youth center it will be an actual place for the young people and not just a dream.'
 Chuck Fagerstrom spoke of several fine ideas to improve the community where he has lived sll his life. Ideas that came to him after visits to other cities were:
 An all-out effort to clean up the rubbish accumulated with the years; an effort by all home-own- CTS to fix up their homes; better lights and signs on the streets; streets surfaced and sidewalks re- paired, and a sewage and water system for the entire community.
 He also suggested that the city make an effort to acquire the gymnasium at Nome Field for the use of citizens of all ages.
 Sadie Bell would like to see the youth center in action, more vo- cational courses at the high school which would probably result in the need for a larger high school; more adult chaperons at the youth activities here, especially in the summer, and student rates at the theater.
 The Chamber members well comed the students suggestions for the betterment of the commit nity.
 Also at Tuesdays meeting, Bob Blodgett, Chamber member from Teller and lieutenant in the Ma tional Guard, reported on the lst Scout Battalion encampment at Fort Richardson. He commended the conduct of the $50 guardsmen who attended
 Bill Barber announced that the Arctic Club will again sponsor three days of dog races in connec- ton with their annual carnival. He stated that the club will CO., operate with the Chambers plans for an annual commemorative eel ebration.

Although Mrs. LeRoux hopes

the Court it is not religion" he
said.
1.-THE exemption was given (to

Iligion and the belief in, and the
worship of God. and was due to
our early religious background
the Judge said.
Judge Morgan's decision op-
poses a 1852 administrative

Municipal Court Judge George
ID. Nelson declared today that
speeding automobile drivers who
seriously violate District traffic
regulations can expect to go to
Jail from his court.
Il want these traffic violators
Ioff the Streets" he said, and
If putting them in Jail is a way
Iof doing 1t then guilty parties
in my court can expect that"
Speeders and drunken drivers
are the most frequent causes of
serious auto accidents, the judge
said. TOO often they've been
let off with minor fines.
"One thing that everyone I'M
derstands is jail. No one wants
to go to jail--even for a few
day."
Judge Nelson's statements
came in connection with two Jail
sentences he gave yesterday in
traffic court.
Argalia Scott, 81, of the 1900
block of Vernon street NV. got
80 days in jail for driving while
drunk, As days for driving with
a suspended permit, 10 days for

District Ethical Society
Loses Court Tax Bottle

The Washington Ethical So
ciety has lost its legal battle tc
get tax exemption as a religious
society.
Judge 10 v. Morgan of the
District Tax Court yesterday up
held the Districts Tax Assessors
$671 real estate levy on the
$50. 900 three-story building OF
the society at 1922 Massachusetts
avenue NV.
In his 53-page ruling, Judge
Morgan said the fundamental
problem was to determine What
is religion?"
He concluded that the Eth
cal Movement is not a religion
and that activities carried on in
the Washington Ethical Society's
house are not religious wor-
ship"
1.-THE (Ethical movement is
opposed to the belief in, and
worship of any personal God OF
Supreme Being or beings" Judge
Morgan said. The existence of q
Supreme Being in whom men
believe and with whom they
may communicate in praise and
worship is not tenet of the
Ethical Movement. Such a be-
lief is discouraged, if not ac-
lively opposed.
Reverence for morality, ethics
and right living is not religious
worship" he added. There is
no prayer, as that term is gen.
orally understood, in the services
or in the marriage. funeral OF
naming ceremonies,
THE Court does not believe
that the singing of even the
hymns are prayer or religious
worship
Judge Morgan conceded that
some QuakerS and Unitarians dc
not believe in a Supreme Being
or are indifferent to such beliefs
But, he said. "the majority OF
them do believe in a Supreme
Being and worship Him"
Rowing from dictionaries to
poetry in his quest for UNDER
standing of religion, the Judge
quoted Emmanuel Kant, Marcus
Aurelius, the Rubiyat of Omar
Khayyam," Alfred, Lord Tenny-
son, theological tones and court
decisions in his ruling.
