The religious issue" has
not been wholly surmounted,
and never will be, this year,
at least. Thus the prospec-
tive Republican presidential
candidate, Vice President
Nixon, may be about as much
a winner from West Virginia
as is Senator Kennedy.
But religion as a factor has
surely been muted by Cath
olic Kennedy's triumph in a
heavily Protestant State. So
the campaign can now be
turned largely to genuine
issues.
The Senator himself is far

Senator Kennedy far ahead
but Senators johnson and

And now it is every man
for himself. Up to this point
Senator johnson has had

Kennedy not actually to lose

watched the Senator operate,
that he may display more
nerve in the application of it
than some others might.
Still the comment quoted
by Mrs. Neuberger. il it is
intended as an oblique in
dorsement of Senator Ken
nedy, is totally inconsistent
with Mr.. Stevenson's previous
position regarding his right
or duty to indorSe any can
didate and with his attitude
toward presidential primaries.
He has repeatedly insisted
that he would not indorse
anyone prior to the nomina-
tion. In 1855 his hands-off
policy was dramatized when
he threw the vice presidential
spot wide open to the con-
vention. This is all in char
acter.
AS for the primaries. he
thinks they are a positive
evil and has so stated. He
is sure that his own 1856
campaign was ruined by
them. Yet he is ready to ad-
init. tearing the scanty re-
mains of his hair in exaspera-
tion. that he himself said
after he won the California
primary that it proved he was
entitled to denomination,
Such practical realities
trouble him. and they put
his intellectual honesty at
war with his sense of self
preservation. And they are
hard, indeed, upon his polit-
ical supporters. But that is
the way he is, yesterday. to-
day and probably forever.

Certain diagnoStic conclu-
sions develop naturally out
of Senator Kennedy's tre-
mendous triumph in West
Virginia.
The first is that he will be
even more difficult to stop
at Los Angeles. The effect
of his victory will be to break
log jams of opposition in
other States. The bandwagon
is not yet rolling at unstop-
pable speed. But 1t is moving.
BY late June, the one remain
ing question might we'll be the
identity of his running mate.
This will certainly be true if
the Deep South States, which
propose to select independent
electors, also desert Senator
Lyndon Johnson for a favorite
son, as now seems likely. Sen
ator Kennedy may we'll win
on the first ballot. A move
ment to have Georgia, South
Carolina, Alabama and Mis-
siSsippi agree TO ballot for
Senator Herman Talmadge on
every roll call has been ini-
tiated.
The second point is that
the religious issue was not
the dominant one. Indeed,
because it was so belabored
by press, radio and televi-
sion, it unquestionably devel-
oped a backflre action and
helped Senator Kennedy. The
people of West Virginia grew
angry about the constant
harping on Senator Kennedy'S
Roman Catholic faith. At the
time this reporter was there,
a week before the primary,
there was outSpoken criticism
Of the information media for
declaring this to be the one
compelling issue.

mems store, Il am tired of
having it appear we are all
bigots. I am going to vote
for Kennedy as a protest"
That it was not the domi-
nent factor is demonstrated

to vote for the candidate such
friends favor.
These Organization" work.
eTs carry sample ballots
printed in advance, and in
a State like West Virginia,
where there are few precincts
with voting machines, it
means that the citizen takes
the sample ballot into the
voting booth and is not
bewildered when confronted
with a long list of State and
local candidates. He is. en-
abled to go right to the spot
on the ballot and put his
mark down.
This is an old pattern in
American politics, and it
takes a lot of money to pay
for a big organization that
really gets out the vote. The
total Kennedy vote in West
Virginia was about 100000,
which is less than half the
Democratic vote cast for
Adlai Stevenson in 1852,
when he carried the State
against Gen. Eisenhower. 1t
isn't dificult to line up a
minority bloc in any State
primary if you have the
money and the organization.
The Kennedy forces can do
it hereafter in every primary,
and they will confront the
Democratic National Con-
vention with the legitimate
query: Since we have won
most of the primaries, how
can you turn us DOWN."
This correspondent believes
the West Virginia primary
result not only has helped
Senator Kennedy toward the
Democratic nomination but
actually has helped toward
the election of Vice Presi-
dent Nixon, who is certain
to be the Republican nominee.
Once the so-called "reli-
gious issue" is out of the way
and it now will be so
viewed by many politicians
because West Virginia has q
relatively small number Of
Catholics in its voting popu-
lation-the tendency will be

On April 7, after the Wis

said in these dispatches:
"The Wisconsin primary,
by all the rules of politics,
should mean that Senator
Kennedy will be regarded as
the front-runner from now
on. This means that the other
candidates will tend to COM
bine against him. There are
other primary contests, to be
sure, but Senator Kennedy
will gain ground in all Of
them. as he has the organi-
zation and the finances back
OF him to win the necessary
delegate strength.
What is really meant by
the organization and the
finances? Certainly there
is not the slightest basis for
any implication that votes
are bought. Nor is it to be
assumed that the word "or-
ganization" means the regu-
lar party machinery. In pre-
convention campaigns, each
candidate develops his own
organization and, if he has
money enough, he will en-

 The Presidents State of the Union message sketched the Ad- ministration's 1860 program in only broad outline. The details will be set forth in his January Is budget message, in which he will call for balanced spending and income in the new fiscal year, starting July l. The re- ported scheduled spending figure is a peacetime record = about 8l billion dollars.
 Eisenhower said that despite the long steel dispute, marked by a 116-day strike, the budget TOT the current fiscal year ending June 30 will show a surplus of about 200 million dollars.
 The message contained no real surprises in the field of legisla- ton. Among other things, he called for continuance of foreign aid to bolster the free world against Communism; for enactment of the civil righs program he recommended last year, particu- larly with respect to protecting the right to vote; new farm laws also recommended previously - to replace Ian outmoded system which has failed to protect farm income" and school aid program with federal incentives to encour- age state and local classroom con- struction.

HISTORIAL PAINTINGS RECEIVED BY GOVERNOR FOR ALASKA MUSEUM

JUNEAU = Two pictures of early Alaska, painted by the wife of Alaska's third governor, were received formally by the State last week for preservation in the Historical Museum and Library at Juneau.

WASHINGTON, R President Eisenhower predicted Thursday that 1860 will be the most pros persous year in Americas history. And he declared the world is en- tering vast new technological age which can make poverty and human misery obsolete"
 He also expressed guarded op- timism about better relations with the Soviet Union. "We must strive," he said, "to break the calamitous cycle of illustrations and crisis which, If unchecked, could spiral into nuclear disaster; the ultimate insanity"
 In his annual State of the Union message to Congress, the Presi- dent personally told joint ses- sion of the House and Senate the nation is armed with enormous defensive military might which must be meticulously maintained until the Soviet Union agrees to effectively safeguarded disarma- ment.
 Eisenhower predicted no nation ever will risk general war against the United Sites if this might is maintained
 The President also rejected cri- ticism that the Soviet Unions de- velopment of superthrust rocket engines threatens America in the military missile field.
 He added this country is press ing forward with development of engines with tremendous thrust, and said spending for space pro- jects will be practically doubled - to about billion dollars a year.
 In his lengthy address, carried nationwide on television and ra- dio, the President spoke of record prosperity in 1860 and also called for vigorous new efforts to check imitation.
 He expressed qualification over settlement earlier this week of the marathon steel dispute, and said both management and labor must make every effort to increase pro- ductiviy and thus avoid price in- creaseS.
 To the newly convened Con- gress sprinkled with Presidential hopefuls, Eisenhower - noting he is beginning his last year in office = appealed for harmony in relations between the White House and he Democratic-con- trolled Congress.
 Every minute spent in irrele- want interbranch wrangling is precious time taken from the intel ligent initiation and adoption of coherent policies for our national survival and policies," he said.

East End Christmas Tree Was Donated by Colonel
 RichardsOn's Battle Group

It was learned today that the tree decorating the east end of Main Street during the holidays was received through the efforts of Colonel D. J. Richardson and the men of the 1st Battle Group, 9th Infantry, at Eielson AFB. It was flown to Nome by the 5O60th Squadron of Ladd AFB, and turned over to the Volunteer Fire Department.
 Colonel Richardson was in Nome in mid-August to observe Exercise Golddust, in which units of his command were participat- ing. They were SO impressed with the friendly reception they re- ceived that they made this ges- ture of good will to bring pleasure to the community during the holidays.
 While here, Colonel Richardson had appeared before Rotary to explain the purpose and operation of the maneuver. Members of his staff had also attended the VIVA c. of C. luncheon.

IN AN ADDRESS given in Juneau on Admission Il Day. Governor Egan surveyed the development of the new State. and the accomplishments to date
 Egan also issued warming, which is heartening to those people who live in the remote and less populated areas showing the Administration has the interest of all Alaska at heart not just the population centers which might attempt to control the State We quote from his message:
 "All signs point toward reinvigorated interest in Alaskas potentials With the friendly atmosphere created by State administration dedicated to the wise use of natural resources for the greatest time, am certain that Aaskas development will be speeded.
 We have the natural wealth The powers of industry and finance have evinced positive interest in those resources With the constructive attitude shown by the State of Alaska our industrial growth is assured
 Tn this respect, wish to inject word of warning Alaska is large. It's is equal to onefifth that of the first AS states It is two and half times as large the State of Texas The economic, industrial and political interests of Alaska diverse Alaskans must ever remain united. We must not adopt provincial attitude when consider the needs of our great State. We must not brand economically useless any of State because it lies several hundred miles away from city or home, and does not fall within the scope of our personal interests We must not label any region an economic vacuum because have not taken the time to explore the mineral timber agricultural natural scenic attrac- tion, or game potential of that Teamwork is necessary in the development of great State. For ask Outsiders to consider with favor that which our State has to offer, and at the time local level belittle that which is not within our local eco homie horizon, would be the height of folly Let us not fall into that for my part have faith that we shall go forward united and strong.

OHIO COACH FINDS
ROANOKE ISLAND
WORTH VISITING

Van Hill of Willoughby, Ohio is a
man who finds life worth while,
and like many another person who
has once visited our coastland,
helps to prove the old saying that
'tonce having been here, they al
ways return" Mr.. and Mrs. Hill
last week concluded spending the
Holidays at the Fort Raleigh Ho-
tel, to which they returned after a
ten-year absence, because, as they
put it, 1--WE Liked the place and we
remembered the fine treatment
given US by the Fearings on our
former visit"
Mr.. Hill is a most remarkable
man. He has served the Colling-
wood High School in Cleveland, O.,
as its football coach for 40 years,
and is still going strong, with the
vim and physique of a man half
his GA years. His school has 300
pupils, grades seventh through
18th.
Mr.. Hill is fancier of Labrador
retrievers, and he follows field
trials through the northeastern
"tates and into Canada. On his two
weeks holiday visit here, he was
accompanied by one of his dogs,
worth upwards of $4,000. On his
first visit, he brought several dogs,
and had the misfortune to lose one
which he had shortly before re-
fused to sell for $1,000. He took
the dogs out to feed them on the
beach near Mays Head, and this
valuable dog bounded across the
road land was killed by an auto
mobile. ,
In his pursuit Of ribbons and
trophies at field trails for his dogs
he has many unusual experiences.
For one thing, he finds that being
the owner of a fine dog takes him
into several exclusive circles. Dogs
fancies also include many top mil

Corner Appraisal Of Most

RALEIGH, Jan 6.-Ask most
any man on the street today who
he is supporting for Governor and
he evades with the question "Who's
going to be the next governor?" 1t
looks like everybody throughout the
state is trying to find out a sure
thing, so one can jump on the
bandwagon in hope of winding up
with some political favors for him
self.
However, there are a few people
who stand out in the open and bold
ly tell you which of the candidates
present or potential, they will fav-
or when the race is on. At this
writing it might as we'll be passed
along how the cards stack up.
John Larkins of Trenton, is we'll

hopeful through these many long
years, as attested by the zeal which
he has put into his considerable
service as state Democratic party
National Committeeman,
etc. He made much Roadway in
the early months of his unan-

strength among party stalwarts
who espouse the doctrine that
party service is sufficient qualifi-

mansion. But there are lots of PEG.
