I Decision Due In Worker's Case Auto License Deadline May Be Extended A 15-day extension in the auto registration deadline will be asked, County Treasurer Dick Tanabe said today. County supervisors must meet by Friday and pass a resolution requesting the police department not to impound vehicles with 1951 plates in order for the deadline to be extended.

Chairman Kialoha oould not be immediately reached this morning for a scheduling of the board meeting. The current deadline is Friday at 4 p. m. The new deadline would be March 15. If the deadline is extended, it would mean cars with license plates would.be immune from police seizure and impounding for another 15 days.

But motorists registering their vehicles after February 29 will still have to pay the 10 per cent penalty. With only three more days to go until the February deadline, 4,454 tar'S'lstiir remain Tanabe reported. That means more than 1,000 pairs of plates must be issued on each remaining day if the deadline is not extended. And "that's a heavy load," he said. At the start of business today, 13,358 vehicles had been registered.

This was broken down into: 10,103 passenger cars, 2,960 trucks and 235 new vehicles.

D'Almeida said the funds so far were mostly from the Hilo area and the total would increase when outside districts report in. Although the campaign is officially closed, at least one other major function is still programmed. That is the Elks benefit dance Saturday night at the Elks club. It is open to the public. Among lump sums received were $203.05 from the Hamakua Woman's club and $55.76 from the Hawaii Athletic club.

The destroyer, then off the north east coast of Korea, received three direct hits; two enemy shells burst directly over the fantail. One of the direct hits tore a hole, three feet by four feet, at the water line, causing one compartment to be partly floodid. The Shelton retired to a base in Japan alter the action, which occurred during the previously reported repulse of an enemy attempt to lard on a small island near Songjin.

Three of the wounded were de scribed as seriously hurt. The navy did not disclose any names. Two nthc destroyers received minor dampge but reported no cas-ualities on the same day the Shelton was hit. The destroyer Rowan reported a direct burst on one of its own gun mounts. The destroyer Henderson survived several near misses whic caused some damage to the suTirstructure.

A navy spokesman told a' Pentagon news conference that enemy shore fire has been more active in recent days than for many months previously. He also recall" ed a succession of enemy attempts in the past ten days to land troops on small islands along both coasts of Korea. The spokesman said U.S. and oth er U.N.

N. Proposal Banning Russia MUNSAN, Korea (P) Commit nists today "categorically rejected" an Allied proposal that would ban Russian supervision of a Korean truce. The Allies had proposed four neutral nations police the truce in stead of six.

This would cut Norway off the United Nations list and Russia off the Red nomlna tions. "We cannot consider" it, said Col. Pu Shan. Staff officers also remained deadlocked on the number of ports of entry each side should be allowed during a truce. The Allies now propose six, the communists five.

Another group of staff officers devoted their entire session to minor differences in phraseology on arrangement for exchanging pris oners of war. As truce talks adjourned until Wednesday, each side accused the other of stalling. The U. N. command made its compromise proposal on neutral supervisors Monday in an effort to get around the newest road block toward ending the bloodshed in Korea.

It would limit supervising na tions to Sweden, Switzerland, and communist Poland and Czechoslovakia. This would get rid of the Russian problem. at West Point) upon being informed that I was still on deck, xxx "I am Indeed grateful to you for getting the information that Arthur Clarke, my aide, escaped and is still alive.

Senator Russell Lona disagreed with this interpretation during yesterday's senate, debate.

"He docs not feel that in voting in favor of the motion of the sena tor from Florida he would vote to recommit S. 49, the Hawaiian state hood bill, regardless of whether a study was to be made of the com monwealth question.

He began his talk by referring to the existence of counterfeit religions and, carrying that further, the existence of the counterfeit in all endeavors, especially social rela tions.

"Communism is a religion." said the noted evangelist. In pointing out the similarity between communism and ChrWanity, Dr. Ockenga said that communism has its prophets as does other religions. In religion there is a Bible in communism there are the many authoritative texts. In religion there are the ecclesiastical councils communism has its council of top leaders of the party to guide and control.

He addtid hat the dogma in religion can compared to the existence of the concept ot dialectical materialism in communism. The Christian church has methodology and the communists carry on in the same means with such groups as cells by which the organization mul tiplies itself. 'Enumerating further these points of similarity, I)r. Ockensa spoke of the world view and end viewpoint found in both ideologies. Christiani ty has a world view of evangelical transformation of the world communism has a world party view which encompasses all in filtration, Communism again has a similar end viewpoint with Christianity, namely the realization of the best of all possible worlds.

But, Dr. Ockenga stressed, this end product will be obtained by the communists without God, while the Christians have not been able tn obtain this end in centuries with God. Communism will build this homogeneous society on a basis of "slave labor and battalions of disenfranchised men." Dr. Ockenga illustrated his important and stimulating speech on today's problems with references to his travels in Russia and Poland in 1933. After establishing this similarity of religious structure in both Christianity and cemmunism Dr.

Ockenga went on to an analysis of the dialectic of the two ideologies to see the conflict of their viewpoints. The progress to the communistic end begins with the uniting of the worker to form unions, the unions become i political organization, and the political otganization gains dominance bv revolution. In referring to Karl Marx, Dr. Ockenga slid that the advent of communism would be brought about by a worldwide revolution, in the Marxian scheme. Leaders in Russia today flatly state that their government is not communism, but state socialism Communism has yet to come.

Communist doctrine points out that the worirer is exploited by the employer retaining part of his earned substance, the profit. Dr. Ockenga pointed out that this concept is a worldwide attraction to young idealists but that being idealists they have an incomplete future perspectivo. To overcome this, Dr. Ockenga stated, we must have a Christian society based on the belief in God, in a universal moral law, and in the creation of man by God and man's acts answerable to God.

From these beliefs we have built constitutional 'aw and have bolstered this with a written constitution. Destroying this framework destroys Christian society, Dr. Ockenga stressed. If we believe in these three bases of Christian society we will place a core of strength in man. Dr.

Ockenga dwelt on the fail-, urc of the state department to bring democracy to the German people through the U.S. officials' Inability to recognize and present the germ of democracy. The German people, not being able to grasp democracy, are turning to nazisin to strengthen themselves against communism.

Quick action by an fire fighting squad at the base was credited by, a base spokesman with keeping down the loss of life.

It occurred about 300 feet down a runway at Offutt headquarters of the far-flung strategic air command. The flight was described as routine but the presence aboard of some classified equipment led base officials to permit no civilian photographies or reporters to visit the crash scene.

Bank Holdup Suspect: Seized With $19,628 NEW YORKW5) Less than 15 hours after the crime the FBI ar rested an armed ex-convict as he stepped off a transcontinental plane here early today and charg ed him with a $19,628 Los Angeles bank holdup. Edward Scheldt, special agent of the federal bureau of investigation, identilied the suspect as John Richard Bayless, 37.

He was carrying a .38 caliber revolver in his belt and attempted to use it when he stepped off the plane, Scheldt said.
