Close Vote Predicted In Hawaii Legislation
Washington—(U.P.)—Congressional observers predicted a close vote in the House today on the bill to make Hawaii the first new state admitted to the Union since Arizona.
Republicans claimed they had the vote power to push the measure through, although they admitted there would be a nip-and-tuck fight Democrats were lined up fairly solidly against it.

200 Attend Start Of P.R. Conference
"Public relations is the science of getting along with the public," said Emil L. Telfel, associate professor of journalism, Monday afternoon at the first session of the two-day public relations school for Kansas social welfare workers.
About 200 in the Jayhawk room of the Union building heard Pref. Telfel on "Fundamentals of Public Relations." He said the job of public relations is to inform the public, and every organization should set up an outlined program in order to be effective.
E. A. MacFarland, chairman showed a film, "Telephone Courtesy" and led a discussion on it.
The evening session began with dinner at 6 p.m. in the Kansas room of the Union building, Zora Belle Robertson, fine arts freshman, provided after-dinner music with her accordion and singing.
The importance of happy employees, the character of an organization through its goods and service, was stressed by Max Foresman, director of public relations at the Spencer Chemical company, Kansas City.
Student Fined in Police Court
Al E. Duncan, college junior, was fined $5 yesterday in police court for violating two city parking restrictions, Campus Traffic Chief Joe Skillman said today. He was fined $3 for parking in a bus stop, and $2 for parking in another restricted parking area.
because the white race is a minority in the islands and two new senators probably would side with northerners on civil rights legislation.
And the northern Democrats hope by delaying action on Republican-controlled Hawaii to force Republicans to act favorably on statehood for traditionally-Democratic Alaska.
Other congressional news:
Churches: His Colleagues on the House Un-American Activities committee were decidedly cool to Chairman Harold H. Velde's suggestion that the group should perhaps look into possible Communist penetration of churches.
Schools: The Senate Internal Security subcommittee investigating communism in education said it is pursuing "several new lines" of inquiry, presumably outside of the New York area where it has concentrated so far.
Overseas Libraries: In the opinion of New York Book Publisher Malcolm Johnson the Russians are using books more effectively than the United States in the cold war battle for men's minds. He testified before a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee.
Cole: The Senate confirmed former former Rep. Albert M. Cole (R.Kan.) as federal housing boss yesterday, 64 to 18, in spite of a spirited Democratic attack.
Aliens: Rep. Francis E. Walter (D.-Pa.) said he will "at the proper time" reveal the names and nationalities of certain shipping lines which he said have been smuggling undesirable aliens into the United States.
Demotions: The Senate approved a House-passed measure taking some of the sting out of the Davis amendment to last year's military spending bill. By changing the basis for a limit on officer grades, the measure blocks the scheduled demotion of 5,400 Navy lieutenants April 1.
Washington—(U.P.)—Leading members of the House un-American activities committee today shied away from Chairman Harold H. Velde's suggestion the committee investigate Communism in the nation's churches.
House Avoids Church Probe
"I know of no plans which have been discussed by the committee for any investigation or inquiry into the field of religion," said Rep. Donald L. Jackson (R-Callif), a ranking OOP member of the com-mittee. "No, there is an indication that such an investigation is warranted."
Rep. Bernard W. (Pat) Kearney (R-N.Y.) also deplored the idea which Mr. Velde tossed out in a radio interview last night.
He emphasized that Mr. Velde was speaking only for himself and said "I think it's about time we (committee members) had a little talk with the chairman."
Mr. Velde himself said it is "doubtful" whether the committee can get around to the proposed investigation this year. He noted that it is already tied up with an inquiry into alleged Communist infiltration of the colleges.
Several prominent Washington clergymen, including Methodist Bishop G. Bromley Oxam and Unitarian Minister A. Powell Davies, recently have criticized Mr. Velde and his committee for the school inquiry, holding that it threatens academic freedom.

Lightning Raids Kill 61 Reds
渝
Today's attacks were aimed at Chinese Communists holding hill positions near Old Baldy and White Horse mountain. The raiders cut their way through Red ranks with bayonets, sub-machine guns and hand grenades, then retired as suddenly as they struck.
Seoul —(U.P.)— United Nations soldiers killed at least 61 Reds today in two lightning raids on the central front, bringing to nearly 500 the number of Communists killed or wounded in battle actions since last night.
Aiming at a hill southwest of Old Baldy, the Allied raiders charged up the slope 20 minutes after opening their attack. The Reds threw platoons of reinforcements into the close-quarter battle. The UN soldiers retired suddenly after 35 minutes of heavy fighting.
The Reds lost most of their 500 men in 10 unsuccessful attacks along the 155-mile battleline during the night. Then shortly after dawn, the UN went on the offensive.
Front line reports from the area said enemy casualties were "very heavy."
