New York Mayor Presented
With Book Printed by

NEW YORK, JTA) = The first
volume of a reprint of a classic
work, Ethics of the Fathers"
printed by teen-age Israeli stu
dents at Boys Town Jerusalem on
a press recently sent by New
York printers was presented to
Mayor Robert F. Wagner at City
Hall by Ira Guilden, chairman of
the board of the schools American
Committee. A copy of the book
had been promised to the mayor
during his visit to Israel last year
when work on the volume was
just being started.
In presenting the volume, Mr..
Guilden pointed out that the
Ethics of the Fathers" one of the
So tracts in the Talmud, repre-
sents a code of ethics and conduct
for human relations. In response,
the mayor expressed his gratitude
for the gift and observed that al
though compiled so very many
years ago 'its ethical concepts are
applicable to life today" He also
expressed his deep interest in the
work Of the school and asked that
his personal thanks be conveyed
to members of the committee and
others who have supported it.

Congress Will! Get Bill.
For Alaska Statehood

A law to provide immediate
statehood for Alaska. to be pro-
posed soon after Congress re-
convenes in January, has been
promised by Interior Secretary
Fred A. Seaton.
Speaking at luncheon meet
ing at the National Press Club
yesterday, the newest cabinet
member was questioned about
administration plans for Alaska
in the light of last Tuesdays
vote there which went heavily in
favor of the Democrats.
President FavOrs Move
Mr.. Seaton replied that the
President had always favored
statehood for the territory, with
proper safeguards and reserva-
tons for northern continental
defense installations. He pre-
dicted the new bill would pass,
provided the Democrats sup
port us-which they have not
always done in the past"
There was no reference in the
Secretary'S remarks to the status
OF Hawaii. another territory with
aspirations to statehood. In the
past, the administration has in
sisted that Alaska and Hawaii
be admitted together. Hawaii is
predominantly Republican in its
politics.
In his address, Mr.. Seaton
hurled back Democratic charges
of a Republican "giveaway" Of
the Nations resources, accusing
the opposition of repeated and
calculated careless handling of
the truth" in presenting their
case.
The truth, he said. sis that the
Eisenhower administration has
performed a creditable and eff
Gent job in the MANAGEMENT
and conservation of the natural
resources of this Nation" 1t
would continue to do so for the
next four years, "given the OPP
Iportunity."
Democrats Blocked Hell's Canyon
Taking up the Democratic
charges one by one. Mr.. Seaton
turned first to the disputed
Hell's Canyon dam project on
the Snake River in Washington
and Oregon. The Democrats, he
noted. have complained about
the administrations lack of &C
ton on this project.

half again as much money is
available for the Fish and Wild
life Service this year than there
was in the lasg fiscal year of the
previous administration.
Now. who are the 'giveaway
boys?" he demanded. with the
facts as they are, it certainly
seems to me we could, if we
wished, appropriately call the
New Dealers and the Fair Deal
ers the 'take-it-away' boys
What we have done, if any
thing, is to give it back to the
people"
Defending the partnership
policy of Federal and private
co-opel alton in the development
of power resources. the Secretary
declared that the country is in
need of $40 billion in new power
requirements within the next 10
years.
There just isn't. and there
won't be, that much Federal
money to go around" Mr.. Seaton
said.
And there you have one OF
the powerful arguments for the
Eisenhower partnership pro-
gram. We in this country have
ito get that $40 billion job done
We intend to get it done. And
the partnership program is the
quickest, least expensive and
most efficient way of getting the
job done. It's as simple as that,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-12

What Mr.. Stevenson did not
seem to know" Mr.. Seaton de-
clared. sis that it was a Demo-
cratic-controlled Senate which
refused to pass an authorization
bill for Federal construction of
a high dam at Hell's Canyon.
On another matter of Demo-
cratic concern, Mr.. Seaton
noted that permits for drilling
oil in wildlife refugees were au-
thorized originally by legislation
passed in 1920 under a Demo-
cratic administration
las a matter of common
sense" he continued, the grant,
ing OF properly managed oil
drilling permits in wildlife areas
lis both sensible and prudent
procedure. So long as there is
no resulting injury to wildlife or
damage to wildlife habitat, no
one can reasonably object to a
policy which protects the Fed
eral Government from having its
oil drained off by private or pub
lie operators who are drilling on
adjacent parcels of ground"

The trade magazine seems just
a trifle surprised at the results
OF its poll. pointing out in its
announcement that Miss Novak
was barely notice d on the
movieland horizon two years
ago" Virtually unknown she may
have been two years ago. but her
swift rise should cause no sur
prise. When you start to notice
Kim Novak. it does not take TWO
years for her impact to take
effect. Reaction to her is imme-
date and apparently as lasting
as anything in this temporary
life.
Miss Novak had several things
going for her when the ballotlng
started in the Boxoffice poll. First
she had three good roles-in
The Man With the Golden
Arm" Picnic and THE Eddy
Duchin Story"-in which to
make her presence known.
She got around the country a
bit a few months ago. too, meet
ing some critics, some exhibitors
and maybe even some represen-
tatives of various public groups.
None who met her then could
have voted for anyone else. One
who did still gets all unstrung
and starts dropping things, for
getting what month it is and the
like. at the mere mention of her
name. The genuineness she dis
played at home in Chicago for
Edward r. Murrow's Person to
Person" visit must have won
her a few million supporters, too.
FOR THE BOYS-It was a
year for the women as far as
this poll is concerned. William
Holden did manage to land in
second place behind Miss Novak.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-12-10

But the next four were, in order,
Doris Day. Marilyn Monroe, Su-
san Hayward and Deborah Kerr
Miss Day was the only lass in
the group to make the list last
year. placing seventh.
The second six in the 1856
|poll are equally divided as to sex.
They are Marion Brando, Frank
|Sinatra, Grace Kelly. Elizabeth
Taylor. June Allyson and John
Wayne. This eight-to-four ratio
lis a clear-cut victory for the
girls, maybe even a landslide.
1t also is the first time in more
than decade that the distaff
side has managed more than an
even. break in the boxoffice
balloting.
What all of this does is give
some added support to the re-
searchers, who have been report
ing an odd phenomenon lately.
For the first time in the history
|of the motion picture industry,
more men than women are going
TO the movies. Whether this &C
counts for Miss Novak's popu-
larity or her presence accounts
for the increase in male movie
going, the researchers don't
know. 1t probably doesn't matter
very much. either.
MERRY STUFF-Remember
the Merry Macs. the close har-
mony singers who were among
the first-maybe the first-of
the popular singing trios and
quartetS? Oldsters who can re-
call the pre-television days when
radio was in flower remember
them all right. They were regu-
lars back there before quiz shows
when Fred Allen was doing that
wonderful Town Hall Tonight"
program.
They're still going strong, too,
now livening things up twice
nightly in the Embassy Room at
the Statler Hotel. That word
livening. incidentally. comes out
interesting when you hit the
wrong key and get an o instead
of the first i. but that's beside
the point. The point is that if
you like your popular music har-
monized, you'll like the Merry
Macs. And if you like their new
record album, Something Old,
New, Borrowed and Blue" you
will be happy to know that they
do lot of its songs in the EN-
bassy Room show. Theirs is a
slick turn, done with zest and a
high professional polish.
Three of the four Merry Macs.
by the way are legitimate Macs
Ted, Judd and Marjorie Mac
Michael. tShe got the name by

Dick Baldwin. but you could
hardly call quartet the Merry

Political forecasts are VIGOROUSLY I'M
reliable. Even so, 1t is interesting to learn
that a confidential report to AFL-CIO
leaders holds that the Republicans will
have an edge in this years presidential
election even II Mr. Eisenhower does not
run.
This labor estimate flies directly in
the face of other political forecasts. The
most recent Gallup poll, for instance,
shows President Eisenhower running
ahead of Adlai Stevenson by margin of
better than to 3. This does not indicate
a Republican edge II the President is the
candidate: 1t foreshadows walkover. At
the same time, the poll suggests that Mr..
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-02-14

Stevenson would defeat Vice President
Nixon, If the latter should be the G. o. p.
candidate, by margin approaching
3 to 2.
Polls, of course, can be and have been
wrong. But the discrepancy here is so
great that one is left to wonder what
crystal ball the labor prognosticators have
been gazing into.
It is possible that the "confidential'
labor forecast, which was leaked to the
press, is really designed to keep the union
political shock troops on their toes. Or
If one prefers a more Machiavellian
flavor, it conceivably might have been
intended to lull Republican election-day
fears and thereby facilitate the with
drawal from the race Of their odds-on
favorite to win. In any event, 1t is an
interesting bit of speculation, and should
make interesting reading for the Presi-
dent when he goes southwark this week
to rest and to ponder his momentous
decision.

PEOPLES Capitalism

The Peoples Capitalism" exhibit,
now on display at Union Station and des-
tined to be shown overseas, Is not going
to shake the earth or single-handedly
alter the course Of history. But II 1t Is
properly displayed and promoted, 1t can
be very useful instrument in getting the
real American story before many mil
lions of foreigners who have heard only
the Communist version of our capitalist
system.
The exhibit, planned by the Adver-
Using Council, will be sent on tour Of
foreign nations by the u S. Information
Agency. The Voice Of America will broad
cast the story Of the exhibit as 1t moves
from country to country.
Briefly, the exhibit portrays the de-
velopment of the United States under our
changing capitalist system from 1776 to
1855. 1t records the fantastic progress in
production techniques and the better life
which this has brought for all Americans.
1t is display which is certain to open
the eyes of those people abroad who think
of America as a decaying land which is
staggering through its few remaining
years only by cruel oppression of the
working classes. Our position in the
world, world in which there Is unre-
lenting competition to capture the minds
Of men, will be improved in direct pro-
portion to the extent that this experiment
in visual propaganda IL successful. =

Accident Awards

On February 3, The Star
carried a story Of a Montgom-
cry County Circuit Court jury
awarding $4,000 to the family
Of a motor accident fatality.
The item said the award was
believed to have been the high
est ever made in a Maryland
court in an auto fatality case.
l suppose no one can place
dollar value on human life,
but, all things considered, in
Guiding the risks that must be
accepted in modern life. this
does seem a bit high.
Perhaps the jury that al
lowed this amount followed the
same reasoning that others
have been doing in recent
years: Insurance companies
are rich, so why not hit them
for "the works"
Yet this can lead to nothing
but higher insurance rates for
all of us, penalizing the great
majority Of drivers who make
an honest effort to drive safely.

Not So Secretive

In its exhaustive report on the atoms
for-peace outlook, the distinguished citi-
Zens' panel of the Joint Congressional
Atomic Committee has rendered good
service to the Nation. It has done so by
collating and analyzing vast amount of
hitherto scattered information on this
subject - information released in great
volume during recent years, but in a
piecemeal fashion calling for just such
study as the panel has now completed.
Some interpretations Of the panels
report, however, have miSread or over
simplif1ed its comment on the Govern
ment's policy Of secrecy. These interpre-
tations have given the impression that
the study group-headed by Robert Nc
Kinney-has sharply criticized that policy
and recommended, unqualifiedly, that the
foodgateS of information be opened up
forthwith. But this is not so. Mr.. NC
Kinney and his associates have strongly
Endorsed the principle Of releasing as
much data as possible, more than at
present, but they have not attacked the
Atomic Energy Commissions approach to
the problem On the contrary, as pointed
out by Acc Chairman Strauss, they have
commended the commission for what 1t
has done so far, and they have made
point of declaring that There are good
reasons why some things may seem to
move slowly" One of the reasons is the
restrictive quality of the law itself;
another is the fact that in certain fields
such as the Harvesting of thermonu-
clear fusion for beneficent non-military
purposes-there is kind of twilight
zone in which it is extremely difficult
to be non-secretive without at the same
time taking the risk Of injuring the
Nations security.
Actually, since the enactment of our
1854 atomic law, the Acc has been re-
leasing torrents of what used to be
restricted data. There are experts, in
fact, who complain that the information
Is being turned out too fast and too
unanimously to be effectively absorbed.
A task-force at Oak Ridge, for example,
is "declassifying" 10000 once-secret re-
ports at rate of $500 week. This
statistic Is but one of many that can be
cited-with the agreement of the citizens
atoms for peace panel-to show that the
Government is not nearly so mum about
this matter as some critics say.
