This would make the pledge read: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands: one nation under God, in divisible, with liberty and justice for alL" The change was proposed, I understand, iby the pastor of the New YorK. 'Avenue Presbyterian church in Washington, the one I which Abraham Lincoln attended. The purpose of the change is to have the people acknowledge the dependence of the nation on God. It is easy to see why few or none would vote against the bill, they would not want to appear to deny God or to offend the good people who want some proposals to in clude such acknowledgment in the constitution. and some would have the United States declare it self constitutionally a Christian nation, a change which would make non-Christians "second class citizens." With due respect to this senti ment I take the position that the change proposed is not a proper one. Belief in God is a matter of personal faith.not something that can be determined or required by statute. Some persons do not be lieve in a God. They may not be blatant atheists, but simply per sons unconvinced of the existence of (Continued on Editorial Page 4.)

French Seek U.S. Aid f or Flying Troops WASHINGTON Uf) France has asked the United States for assist ance in transporting reinforce ments to Indochina where the war against Communist forces is mov ing into a new crisis. Authorities who disclosed this Saturday night said there is no doubt that the American govern ment will give the French the help they need. Such a request had been expect ed here ever since the Laniel gov ernment at Paris decided to re spond to the loss of Dien Bien Phu and the new Red drive against Hanoi by sending more men from French forces in the European -African area. The United States airlifted about 1.000 men for the French forces ; defending Dien Bien Phu before that fortress fell to the Reds. i A final answer to the French plea j for new transport aid is expected to be given in the next few days after the United States has all de tails on points from which the men would be sent and when they would be moved. vvnue me total ot trench rein- Iforcements movrng out from the European.North African area has I been reported at several thousand ; men the request for American transportation does hot cover the whole group but onlv the number left over after all available French transportation has been assigned, presumably about 1,000 men will be carried on American facilities.

Sanmen Bay is northwest of Formosa and about 125 miles south of Shanghai. The Daily News said warships shelled installations on Toumen Island Friday nijht. This was, fol lowed Saturday by a bombing and strafing attack on Kenmen Island also in Sanmen Bay. The newspaper said Communist planes were spotted at a distance, but didn't try to stop the attacks. It added that all Nationalist planes returned safely. The attacks apparently were part of the current offensive-defensive measures aimed at safeguarding the nationalist - held T a c h e n Islands.

Of NW Power 'Monopoly' OLYMPIA L4 A congressional investigation of possible power i monopoly in the Pacific Northwest was requested Saturday by the Washington Public Utility Districts Assn. A resolution adopted at the closing session of the association's semi-annual meeting said "there is evidence of the re-emergence" of a private electric monopoly in the Pacific Northwest and of un due influence being exerted on the Interior Department by the com panies involved. The resolution called upon the Senate subcommittee on antitrust and monopoly legislation, to extend its investigation to the Pacific Northwest. Sen. William Langer heads the subcommittee. Other resolutions adopted by the t-Lu association Saturday includ ed: Opposition to a proposal by Sen. Cordon (R-Ore) for "partnership" construction of the 461 million dol lar John Day Dam on the Colum bia River.

Austria UPi The , skull of Austria's great composer, i Joseph Haydn, stolen from his grave 145 years ago, was reunited with his other earthy remains Sat urday and reburied in a new grave. The skull was blessed by Theo dor Cardinal Innitzer, archibishop of Vienna, in an unusual ceremony i Saturday morning in the Austrian capital. Amog those present were Austrian President Theodor Ker- ner, Chancellor Julius Raab, for eign diplomats and a large crowd of dignitaries. Afterthe skull received the ben ediction of the Roman Catholic Church, it was placed on a hearse and brought to this sleepy market town in a solemn procession . through Soviet-occupied lower Aus tria. Haydn s headless remains were unearthed several days ago and put into a new copper coffin in the pic turesque baroque church here. By G. MILTON' KELLY WASHINGTON .fl - Senator McCarthy R-Vis) angrily told Secretary of the Army Stevens last Feb. 20 that "you will live to re gret" orders forbidding Army gen erals to testify before the senator, it was disclosed Saturday night. Texts of three monitored phone calls between McCarthy and Stev ens were made public by a person U.S. Enters Talks With Red China to Free 80 Yankees By MAX HARRELSOX GENEVA (P)-The United States entered into direct talks with Red China Saturday in an elfort to win release of approximately 80 Americans who are being detained by the Peiping regime. This was the first contact between the two delegations at the Geneva conference and the only time the United States and Com munist China hae had direct negotiations since the Panmunjom armistice talks. The U.S. delegation had tried in vain to have the prisoner question negotiated indirectly through the ?ood offices of the British. The United States does not recognize the Peiping regime. Talks Arranged The direct talks were arranged when it became clear there was no other way to aid the estimated 54 civilians and 29 military person nel either under arrest or unable to obtain exit visas. In a statement, announcing the decision, the U.S. delegation insist ed that the negotiations should not be interpreted as indicating any change in the Eisenhower admin - istration's attitude toward the Pei ping regime. The atmosphere at the opening session was described by an Amer ican source as "very friendly," but there was no information to what results, if any, had been ob tained. The problem of the prisoners has been a sore spot tor many months, and the United States has made repeated protests without result; Exact Number Uncertain the exact numoer ot persons involved is uncertain. An unofficial i breakdown lists 32 civilians in prison, 3 presumed unaer arrest, 19 unable to obtain permits to leave the country. 18 Air Force personnel from Korea and 11 Naval and Coast Guard personnel under arrest. The 32 in prison are mostly businessmen and missionaries.

Joe Must Go Club Chiefs Sense Failure SAUK CITY. Wis. W. A cam paign against Republican Sen. Mc Carthy ends at midnight with lead ers of the Joe Must Go Club, sens ing failure, ready to start another drive against him. By midnight Saturday night the club must have 403,900 signatures to force the state's political storm center to submit to a recall elec tion. At last estimate, made Thurs day night by LeRoy Gore, instiga tor of the fight, "almost 375,000" Wisconsin voters had signed peti tions demanding a recall election. But Gore said then the anti-McCarthy drive had "only a grim, fighting chance" of succeeding. Great Composer, Joined With Remains There were more ceremonies here when the skull arrived. Church dignitaries paid homage to the great Austrian. Sculptor professor Gustinus Ambrosi gently placed the skull on a small cushion in the coffin. The reunion of the skull and body marked the end of a strange jour ney for the composer's head. Haydn first was buried in a Vien na cemetery in 1809. Later his body was exhumed and brought to Eisenstadt, the home of Prince Es terhazy, Haydn's patron. The com poser had lived here most of his life. When the coffin was opened, it was discovered the head was miss- hazy family. A court finally de ing. ! cided the academy was the rightful The mystery was not solved until years later. Josef Rosenbaum, Prince Esterhazy's secretary, con fessed on his deathbed he had stolen the head 10 days after his name used publicly. One of the calls showed that last Nov. 7 McCarthy urged Stevens "for God s sake" not to assign G. David Schine to the McCarthy in vestigating committee after Schine got into the Army.

Haydn's burial. He said he had been bribed by a group of doctors who wanted to examine the head of a great musician. One of the doctors, who obtained sole possession of the skull, willed it to the Vienna Academy of Music, On the day of his death, however, a doctor friend stole the skull. He in turn, left it to the pathological museum of Vienna University. The Esterhazy family, which had prepared an elaborate tomb as a memorial to the musician, wanted to bury the body intact. Thus there were three claimants to the head the Academy of Mu sic, the university and the Ester- owner, and the skull was put on display atop a piano in its museum. The Esterhazys got the academy to agree, after World War II, to transfer the bead to Eisenstadt. be , dent would be calling vou not to play favorites because anyone is on a committee," McCarthy said. Then, referring to Roy Cohn, his chief counsel, who had been insist ing he needed Schine's help in pre paring committee reports, Mc Carthy added: I think for Roy's sake if you can let him come back for week ends or something . so his girls won't get too lonesome maybe if they shave his hair off. he won't want to come back." Schine has light brown wavy hair. The Army side of the big con troversy charges that the, Mc Carthy camp used improper pres sure for favored treatment for Schine. a former McCarthy aide, but says that sometimos hn Cohn was not present. McCarthy indicated he was not avid for Schine's services. 'Good Boy' In the Nov. 7 phone call. Mc Carthy told Stevens with reference to Schine: "He is a good boy, but there is nothing indispensable about him." In the televised hearings, Cohn has insisted that the McCarthy side pressed for no special favors for Schine. He said that the only purpose was to obtain Schine'8 : services, whenever he could be ! spared from Army duties. To wind up work he was doing for the Mc Carthy subcommittee. !
