Presidents Admiration
For Lee Told in Letter

ATLANTA, Aug. 18 (APy.-
Confederate Gen. Robert E
Lee was one of the supremacy
gifted men produced in this
Nation, in the opinion of Presi-
dent Eisenhower. And for that
reason. Gen. Lees picture
hangs on the wall of the Presi-
dents office.
This fact was revealed by an
exchange of letters between
the President and Leon w.
Scott, a New Rochelle IN. "
dentist.
Ralph McGill, publisher and
columnist of the Atlanta Con-
stitution. made the letters pub
lie yesterday for the first time
yesterday. He said he obtained
copies of them from the White
House.
Motive Is Questioned
Mr.. Scott wrote the President
to inquire why Gen. Lees pic
ture was included with those
of Washington, Franklin and
Lincoln. The President had
mentioned the pictures in his
speech at the Republican con-
vention and said he considered
them all great Americans.
In his letter to the President,
Mr.. Scott said, Il do not un-
derstand how any American
can include Robert E. Lee as
a person to be emulated, and
why the President of the
United States of America
should do so is certainly be-
yond me.
President Evaluates Lee
The most outstanding thing
that Robert E. Lee did was to
devote his best efforts to the
destruction Of the United
States Government, and am
sure that you do not say that
a person who tries to destroy
our Government is worthy of

based planes assigned targets
behind the Iron Curtain during
a war. With the Air Forces
Strategic Air Command carry
ing the bulk of the big war load,
the Air Force would have run
the proposed command.
But the Navy objected to it's
ships being run under airman
control-or any control outside
the regular and experienced
Naval command structure.
Year of Debate
Secretary Gates completed a
year of Joint Chiefs of Staff
debate on the issue yesterday
and ruled:
A new central planning-not
Gghting-agency will be set up.
n will be attached to the Joint
Chiefs but under the immediate
direction of the Strategic Air
Commands head, Gen. Thomas
y. Power. He will only plan tar
gets and timing of this coun-
hry's massive retaliation. His
plans will reqire approval by the
Joint Chiefs and execution will
be under the direction of the
individual commands concerned,
whether Naval or Air Force.
This is the most important
military decision / have partici-
pated in since I have been in
the Pentagon," Mr.. Gates said.
Formation of the new agency
is expected to quell a long
slnouldering argument between
the Air Force and the Navy.
Some Air Force quarters have
been advocating a separate and
overall strategic command to
control long-range weapons of
all the services. The Navy op-
posed this concept.
Mr.. Gates said the new setup
rejected such concept. He
said his decision would central
ize planning but would decen-
tralize the actual execution of
the plans by the various senior
commanders.
The new plan does not rep
resent any change in estab-
lished national military policy
or in relations with United
States allies. Mr.. Gates said.
He added that when the new
plan is worked out any part of
it affecting allied preparations
will be fully explained.
1t was to hear about this
decision. along with other odds
and ends of new planning, that
all the command heads in the
three services we're called to
Washington this week. They
and the Joint Chiefs-were re-
ported to be unanimous in
agreeing the new plan was a
good one.
What does it all mean to the
public? First, the new strategic
target planning group should
work smoother than the old
planning group under the Joint
Chiefs. The old system was for
each command and service to
suggest its own war targets and
have all the requests "co-ordi-

Sportsman's Group Plans to Organize Chapter Here

The Isaac Walton League of America is soon to form a chap ter here, in eliminating several years of efforts by sportsmen in this area.
 Heading the group is Stan Mor- gan, who presented the plans to Rotary Club, which will aid in the organizing of this sportsmen's agency, and encourage the work being done to get the Nome charter.
 Membership is open to anyone interested in the future of out door recreation, conservation, re- stocking of streams. Applications are available from Stan Morgan.
 Sometime before the middle of February, a meeting will be held to form the local chapter. Officers will then be elected, and dues determined on the local level

 It is necessary to have 30 mem- bers' to obtain a charter, and it is expected there will be many more than that number with applica- tions in by the first meeting.

B.I.A. To Reopen COlOyin School

The Bureau of Indian Affairs announces that it will reopen the Golovin Day School this summer, after a closing of several years due to minimum enrolment. A recent survey indicated there are 20 to 25 children of school age now liv- ing in the village, which is suffi- cient Justification to reopen. It was first thought that budget limita- tions would prohibit this action until next year, but the Bureau, recognizing the need, has secured funds to insure operation, reports Bob Grant, BIA Area Field Rep resentative.
 The new high school at Unalak- leet will also open it's doors next September on limited basis, with at least a ninth grade in opera tion the first year. Construction will be completed this summer, and new quarters for teaching personnel are provided in addi- blOIl u tliC lOul OOlll SSllOOl building
 A new four-classroom building, along with housing units, is also being constructed at Noorvik, and will be ready for occupancy late this summer.
 These three projects are in line with BIA policy of providing Ma tive children of this area with the best schooling. possible until the State Department of Educa- tion is able to assume the respon- sibility, explains Grant.
 Major repairs and improve ments are planned for other schools in the Nome District un- der Bureau of Indian Affairs op- eration, and work will start early this summer.

Religious Issue Of 1850
'Stirs Extremist Elements

Tweedle-Dum and TWeedle-Dee." "
A call was made for a "a really
white American President who
would combat Palestinian pres
sure and the Communist goonS OF
Leopoldville.
THE RELIGIOUS issue generat-
ed by the election was generally
on a much higher level. Eminent
Jewish leaders joined leading
Protestants and Catholics in eff
forts to curtail bias aimed at the
religion of one of the candidates.
Discussion of the Church-State is
sue, it seemed, descended all too
often to an emotional level.
Assailed by the bitterest mani
festation of anti-Catholicism since
the 1928 AL Smith campaign,
Catholics sought Jewish advice on
anti-defamation tactics. 1t was a
new experience for many Amerl-
cans of the Catholic faith to hear
loyalty challenged.
In the smouldering South, the
Ku Klux Klan emerged in new
strength. From Virginia to Louls1-
ana, fiery crosses burned. But the
Klan stood repudiated by the mass
of Southerners. Its status was in
significant compared to it's 1925
peak.
NEVERTHELESS, the prevail
ing talk about religion, race riots
in Jacksonville, Fla, and else
where was less than reassuring to
Jews in countless small towns OF
the South. One merchant in South
side, Virginia actually reported
that the Klan sent a purchasing
agent to his store to seek an esti-
mate on white cotton cloth suit
able for robe-making and night
riding terror tactics. Requesting
a special discount, the Klansman
explained to the Jewish merchant
that the Klan in that locality was
"only trying to keep the Negroes
and Catholics in their place anc
that cooperative Jews need moi
| fear"
The general attitude OF Jews is
to be one of concern lest bias
against one group unleash 9
tendency facilitating pr U ice
against others. The spectacle OF
religious strife was neither attrac'
tive nor typical of this nation.

Says Congo Rabbi

JOHANNESBURG, (JTA)-Forty
Jewish men are now in Leopold
vile, capital of the strife-Wracked
Republic of the Congo, having re-
opened their businesses there, Rab-
bi Moshe Levy, of the Congo, re-
ported here on a Stopover during
his return to Elizabethville, in Ka-
tanga. Rabbi Levy said there were
no Jewish women or children in
Leopoldville. He emphasized that
all Congo Jews have been traced,
and none are missing.
He reaffirmed statements made
in an interview in Brussels to the
effect that many refugees had re-
turned to Elizabethville and h t
local authorities and the population
of the Secessionist province of Ka-
tanga were treating Jews there
well.
The rabbi sought to correct here
what he termed inaccurate press
reports of his statements in BruS-
sells. He said that the statement
that he took his children to Israel
and was sending them to school in
Brussels was incorrect, adding that
his family had been in Salisbury
since the native rebellian against
European whites first broke out in
the Congo.
II went alone to Israel, together
with a group of Congo refugees, to
explore the possibilities for settle
ment in Israel of Congo Jewish
refugees" the Congo rabbi said.
II had discussed various plans with
Israel officials and with the Jewish
Agency, and then went to Brussels
to contact Congolese refugees there
and to acquaint them with Israel
possibilities. He reported that sew
eral of the refugees decided to go
to Israel and were currently pre-
pairing for resettlement there.
II was wrongly reported as say
ing that 1 urged Jewish refugees
from Katanga to use the facilities
for reSettlement offered by South
Africa" Rabbi Levy stressed.
