GNU Policy

! read with some surprise
that DR.. Marvin, president of
George Washington University.
had stated before the Wash
ington Ministerial Union that
the university would not hire
q teacher who did not believe
in God.
Knowing the record for aca-
demic freedom at GNU, as
we'll as that for religious free
dom, as evidenced by the re-
cent program for the "Reli-
gion in Life Week" at CIV,
which was dedicated to reli-
gion and freedom, under the
direction Of DR.. Joseph r.
Sizoo, and which was jointly
sponsored by the Religious
Council and the Faculty Com
mittee on Religious Life in the
university, the statement by
DR.. Marvin seems to convey an
erroneous impression. Perhaps
what DR.. Marvin was actually
saying was that the university
prefers on its staff dedicated
instructors who have some
contact with basic spiritual
realities instead of persons
whose broad general outlook
on life is psychologically mega
tive and defeatist in regard to
spiritual realities.
Emphasis at the university
has been consistently placed
on both academic and religious
freedom-the latter evidenced
by the speakers on the Reli-
gion in Life program, which
included Rabbi David Panitz of
the Jewish faith. the Rev.
Ignatius Smith Of the Catholic
faith, c. Prabha who spoke on
Buddhism, M. D. Shahane,
who spoke on Hinduism, and
DR.. Mohamed Bisar, who
spoke on Islam as a Religion.
DR.. Marvin's record for the
past 80 years at George Wash
ington University-which
throughout the Nation has
established a high reputation
for academic freedom-speaks
for itself.

I read with care DR.. Mar
WINS views expressed in the
article reporting that George
Washington would not hire
teachers who do not believe
in God.
While some philosophy Of
life which serves as . moral
guide to the teacher may be
desirable, I wonder whether
1t is necessary to con1ne such
philosophy to one which Ia
based on Divine being. Admit
teddy, If q moral guide is what
is wanted, then a philosophy
contrary to our version Of what
Is morally right should be re-
jected, e.g. communism. But
I would argue that 1t is error
to insist that only q theistic
philosophy offers proper moral
guidance. U. S. Citizen.
Editors note: What DR..
Marvin said was that while
George Washington does not
employ any teacher "who does
not have faith in God" there
actually is no specific univer-
sity policy against hiring athe-
lists. He explained in q state
ment to the faculty that in
order to be a good teacher. a
man had to have faith and
that connected belief in God"
He further asserted IN let my
record here Of 80 years stand
as argument against any in
fringement Of academic free

Bartlett Recommends Tennessee Plan:
Alaska Would Elect, Send to Congress
Two Senators and One Representative

remove the key log creating the
jam.
After talking with many mem
bers of Congress, after making a
very careful analysis of the situa-
ton in general, l am convinced
that if Alaska were to adopt the
Tennessee Plan practically all
statehood supporters in Washing
ton would welcome this active
demonstration of AlaSka's deter
mination to win a rightful place
in the Union of States; and what
ever resentment at this bold but
certainly not unique approach
which might be felt, or expressed,
would be far more than out
weighed by the benefits.
In summation, | am bound in
Gandor to state that without the
Tennessee Plan combination Of
circumstances, not at this time to
be readily foreseen, will be need
ed to bring statehood soon.
If the Tennessee Plan is adopt
ed it might we'll shorten the long
road to statehood. ! can see dis
tinct possibility of gain; l see only
remote possibilities of loss.
The Tennessee Plan has ele-
ments of the daring and the mag
NATIVE attractive to the people of
a frontier land as has been made
apparent to me be the many ex-
pressions of support from Alas
kanS for the PROPOSAL
It is my understanding that the
Tennessee Plan is before the Con-
stitutional Convention now in
session at the University of Alas
ka. If adopted there, it will be
presented to Alaska voters for
final determination in April.
AS one who through the years
has had an abiding conviction that
statehood more than any other
one thing is essential for Alaska
for its own sake and for the sake
of the nation, l am bound to sup
port any just and reasonable and
American way to hasten state
hoods coming. The Tennessee
Plan is such a way.
With the above statement of my
own position, | desire to add that
if the Constitutional Convention
and the voters in April decide to
try the Tennessee Plan it will
have my continuing support.

The President also called for:
l. More liberal home repair and
Improvement loans, Five-year re-
pair loans could be federally in
sured. The limit is now three

2. Loans, grants and technical
help to bring industry into chron-
ically depressed areas. The loans

ments.
3. A six-point antitrust pro-

a. Fresh appeals for quick pas

gram; the five-year school con-
struction plan; federal reinsur-
ance and direct federal-state in
IDENTITIES for flood victims; and
us. adherence to the multi-nation
Organization for Trade Coopera-
ton (OTC).
But the big surprise in a 238-
page printed message was Essen
hower's suggestion that Congress
consider re-enacting the federal
reserve boards authority to regu-
late down payments and repay
ment terms on purchases of autos,
appliances and other consumer
items.
Eisenhower said experience of
the recent past" indicates that
authority would be a useful adj
iunct" to other anti-inflationary
weapons. BY recent experience,
Eisenhower presumably meant
the Sc billion increase in consum-
er debt last year--a 10-fold rise
over 1854.

By E. L. (Bob) BARTLETT

WASHINGTON, Jan 20-Many
times during the last several
months I have been asked to give
my opinion as to whether Alaska
should adopt the so-called Ten
neSsee Plan in an effort to pro-
mote the cause Of statehood.
My reluctance to state that
opinion until this time has been
based upon a number of reasons.
Chiefly, perhaps, desired to
make at least a preliminary esti-
mate of statehood attitudes in the
Second Session Of the 84th Con-
gress in conjunction with the
Presidents 1856 State of the I'm
ion message.
Further, I wanted additional
time 70 make a reasonable evalu-
alton Of the Tennessee Plans
chances of success in the mid-20th
century, remembering that many,
many years have gone by since it
was last used. Whether or not it
can be translated to these times
with equal effectiveness is of
course that which only the future
will definitively disclose.
A more positive statement can
be made as to the probabilities of
attaining statehood now by the
traditional approaches. T h e
prospects are bleak. No hopeful
sign has presented itself from
any source since. this session of
. Congress began earlier in the
month and he would be an Opt
mist indeed who would predict
favorable action soon.
So the cause Of statehood is not
advancing now. Indeed, there are
those who suggest that interest is
tending to decrease rather than
increase and that unless stimu-
lating factor is added Alaskans
may have to wait long before
coming into the day when state
hood is attained.
The Tennessee Plan could pro-
vide that stimulating factor.
Its impact could jar the nation
and the Congress from lethargy.
The election and sending to Wash
ington of two United States sena-
tors and a representative in the
House might provide the fulcrum
needed to jar statehood from dead
center or, to use another meta
phor, might be the instrument to

WASHINGTON, R-President
Eisenhower Tuesday proposed a

told Congress the country's boom

Red China Asks Meeting
Of Foreign Ministers
To Settle FormOsa Dispute

GENEVA, R-Communist Chi
ma said Tuesday the dispute over
Fornosa could be settled only at
a meeting between Secretary Of
State John Foster Dulles and
Chinese Foreign Minister Chou
En-lai.
Red Chinese Ambassador Wang
Ping-nan, in another press state
ment concerning his five-month-
old negotiations with US. Ambas-
sador Alexis u. Johnson, charged
the US. with deliberately drag
ging out the talks. He declared;
"The Chinese American ambas-
sadorial talks have proved to be
incapable of settling such a major
substantive question as the relax
alton and elimination of tension
in the TaiWan Formosa) area.
The Chinese side holds that a
Chinese American conference of
the foreign ministers must be
held, as this is the practical and
feasible means for settling this
question"
Wang repeated his claim that
Formosa is a part of China, that
the mutual assistance treaty be-
tween the us. and Nationalist
China was illegal, and relations
between Communist and Nation
alist China were entirely China's
internal affair.

Kefauver Asks
ThOrO Review
Of us. Defense

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Ke-
fauver O-Tenn) called Tuesday
for a thorough review of the en-
tire defense establishment" in the
light Of new charges by General
Matthew B. Ridgway.
RidgWay wrote in a second Sat
urday Evening Post article just
released that there was a tenden-
cy during his tour as Army chief
of staff "of civilian secretaries
making military decisions on a
basis of political expediency :"
The retired officer said this con
stitutes a danger to this country"
In his first article last week,
Ridgway touched off controversy
by writing he had opposed plans
to cut Army manpower in 1954-55
and had been presumed to trim
his views to what he termed a
"politico-military" line.
But Secretary of Defense Will
son and Adm Arthur w. Radford,
chairman of the joint chiefs, said
that as they recalled it, members
of the nations top military group
were unanimous on the question
of planned Army cuts. Wilson al
so denied ever having tried to
pressure RidgWay.
A House appropriations sub
committee started yesterday a
three-month study Of the new
look" defense program. Wilson
was summoned for opening testi-
mony behind closed doors.
Speaking out in advance of the
secret hearings on the new $3512
billion military budget, subcom-
mittee Chairman Mahon O-Tex)
said Monday he was disturbed
about the overall direction Of the
entire defense program.
Mahon voiced concern over
whether the U.S is keeping
ahead of the Soviets" in such
fields as development of the
deadly" intercontinental BALLS
tics missile. He said he wanted to
know why the Defense Depart
ment asked for 800 fewer planes
next year than Congress approved
for this bookkeeping year which
ends June 80.
