For Some Time

Gallinger Hospital authorities
this morning indicated that al
though a transfer was pending
for Representative Marion A.
Zioncheck, the Seattle Repre-
sentative would be placed under
medical care for several more
weeks.
DR.. Edgar A. Bocock, superin-
tendent of the municipal hos

his opinion Representative Zion

some time to permit psychiatristS

Apparently breaking away from

an upstairs window Of the psyche

Indignant over alleged compul-

guards exercised over him yes

phone call prevented his release,
zioncheck said: ,....
"They (hOSpitaI authOrities)

Several weeks ago Representa-

of the House Rules Committee,

son tried to persuade zioncheck
to 60 voluntarily to the Baltimore
institution, he told reporters.
After refusing several times to
leave the nations capital for medl-
cal care elsewhere, the Congress
man from Seattle said that he
understood yesterday he was to be
taken against his will to the Shep-
herd Pratt Hospital.

Rather than leave Washington,
Zioncheck explained, he offered
hospital authorities a plan in
which he would do one Of four

DETROIT, June 16 QN.sJ.
Senator James R. Couzens cheered
the Republicans and tilted the
State Democratic apple cart today
with the announcement he will
place his political fortunes in the
lap of the G. o. P. in the fall
elections.
Declining invitations Of the
Democrats to run for reelection
under their banner, he declared
he will adhere to the Republican
party. This left the Democrats
without an apparent candidate for
the office. They Endorsed Couzens
at their State convention last
month.
Couzens faces a fight in the Re

former Gov. WILDER M. Brucker
announced his candidacy for the
nomination several weeks ago.

A statement that will "Startle
America" was promised today, by
the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin as
he arrived from an intensive
campaign in Maine for political

would detail his plans during the
Forthcoming campaign, especially
the part his Social Justice Union
will play.

Mi5c'leli Fayog's Big Air Base E7,
 Terr. Of Alaska

The greatest air base of the United States should be located in Alaska, accord ing to General William C. Mitchell, chief of the Unit ed States air forces in the world war. Arthur Bris- bane, newspaper comment ator, quoted General Nit chell at length recently,
 Dan Kennedy of An chor- age believes MT. Brisbane's remarks well worth read ing in Alaska. Excerpts from his column follow:
 General Mitchell told this writ CT Friday:
 "The security of the United States as regards Asia, depends on Alaska, and Alaska should have the greatest United States air base. If the Japanese could make a landing in Alaska, they could strike New York City or Washington two days later
 Alaska is important because it l is nearest to Asia, and power al ways takes the shortest cut. AL aska is as important to the mod 1 ern world as Asia Minor was in ancient days.
 This country need not worry if it acts promptly. If it delays too long it will have plenty of cause for worry"
 Somebody in Washington should be interested in General Mitchells statement, ''The Unit ed States military service has not one single airplane in service which is suitable for engaging in war against a first-class power"
 General Mitchell also says that Japan has airplanes capable of flying from Alaska to destroy New York and Chicago and return to their base. And this country is without the means of preventing such an attack.
 The Japanese have learned much from the west since Ad- miral Perry opened the doors of Japan, invited her to come out and look around. She has master ed western science, eclipsed west ern industry in loW-cost produc- tion, made herself the military equal of the west on land, at sea an in the air.
 Japan has also learned from the west that when you get tir-

DELEGATE DIM0ND'S
 STEWARDSHIP.

The Valdez Miner had the following editorial com ment to make on delegate Anthony J. Dimond's ann ual report of his activities in Washington, D. C., after printing the same article as was published in the Thurs day issue of the Nome Daily Nugget; explaining MT. Di- mond's views to the people of Alaska, touching upon the various bills he has in- troduced and again refers to the abolition of fish traps in the Territory. That MT. Dimond is sincere in his be- lief that the people and the territory would be benefit ed by abolishing fish traps, is evidenced byhis frequent reiteration. Many promin- ent business men are of the same belief, while others hold to the contrary.
 There are many ways in which disputes between canners and fisher m e n could be arbitrated, if such was the sincere desire of either party to the contro- versy. A contract for an indeterminate period might be entered upon between the parties concerned. We can hardly believe the life of the fishing business de- pends upon the use of traps nor do we believe the fisher men will starVe in case they are retained. But, one thing is certain, the aboli- tion of traps would greatly increase the number of fish ermen according to MT. Di- mond.
 The value of a large fish, ing fleet is understood by many Alaska towns which cater to the trade. Each fisherman spends tremen- dous sums for his boats and gear. The large companies benefit the territory little in this way as all supplies and gear are brought up from the States, and the employees are paid off in the States, leaving little for AL aSka.
 It is problematical if there is more money invested in fish traps than there is in fishing boats and gear. Large sums are spent by both parties, with the can- nerymen buying in the sta tes.
 Delegate Dimond should be backed up absolutely by : his party, and his plans should at least be given a trial, without allowing the

It has been one Of the great unity.
ing forces Of our Nation. It has
helped to train the people for our
kind of government. It has main
tanned democracy at the grass
roots.
No one can study this record
without being impressed by the
imagination and constructive
genius of the American people. In
every sense, this movement for free
public schools came from the
people themselves.
At each stage responsibility re-
manned close to them. At no point
has the Federal Government been
required to assume charge. At
no point has 1t been necessary to
change any of the fundamental
principles Of self-government to
make the desired progress. Be-
cause our people felt that the
school system was their own, their
interest in education has always
been maintained. They wanted
schools that would give their chill
dren better opportunities than
they themselves had enjoyed, and
they were willing to make sacri-
fees that they would not make
for any other public purpose.
Strong religious convictions led
groups of our people to establish
private schools and colleges at their
own expense. No better proof is
necessary to show the vitality Of
religion. Such devotion to princi-
pie has made this country great.
Throughout our history religion
and education have worked hand
in hand. Each owes much to the
Evening star., 1936-08-25

other; neither can realize its full
possibilities without the other.
It seems to me this Is largely the
reason why. next to our Govern.
ment, our educational system is our
greatest public effort. It has been
well termed our outstanding sue
cess. The development has taken
time, 1t is true. The processes Of
a democracy are always slower
than those Of an all-powerful gov
ernment. But they are likely to
be more certain of good results.
Producing Leaders
One Of Best Results.
One of the best of these results
has been our leaders. We have
always welcomed natural leaders,
in education, religion, business
and government. They could lead
in democracy, because their pur-
pose was service, not power for
its own sake. 4
Our system of free education has
failed If class distinctions are al
lowed to develop in this country.
We must look to our teachers to
see that they do not develop.
Today. perhaps to q greater de-
gree than ever before, the con-
troll of our educational institu-
tions must be kept in the hands Of
the local communities and the edu-
Gators themselves. For we may as
we'll face the fact that the tide Is
running against free government
today. In many lands, the hand
Of government is closing down upon
education. 1t is being made into
a tool, for autocratic purposes. In
these countries free inquiry in the
pursuit of enlightenment for its

own sake is being destroyed.

own sake Is being destroyed.
In these days Of widespread
propaganda, 1t Is imperative that
our teachers be kept free and that
our educational institutions. our
newspapers and the radio. be kept
independent, either from control
of autocratic government or from
the influence Of any selfish inter-
est.
There must not be censorship
of what is spoken or written, and,
equally important, there must be
no control of the source of news.
But let me say here, it is to
our everlasting credit that most of
the great gifts to our educational
institutions have been made with
out any strings attached to them.
They have been kept singularly
free from political influence or
bureaucratic control.
An excellent example Of the
freedom which exists today IN our
educational institutions, is the ac-
tive interest always taken by edu-
Gators in our socal, political and
economic problems. In some in
stances, the arguments and conclu-
sions advances by our institutions
of learning have Jared the view
points Of those who are unable to
see the necessity for change.
But many examples could be
cited of progressive policies in
Government and in business, which
have had their origin in our edu-
cational institutions. Education
can usually be counted upon to
encourage change when change
means progress. Thus our educa-
tional system has not been a thing

apart from that restless search Of
the American people for ways of
doing new things. and doing old
things better. This Is as It
should be.
II education Is to realize its true
goal, 1t cannot confine itself to an
academic discussion of life-it must
become part Of life itself. I believe
education Is making a great con-
tribution to the solution of our
difficulties. 1t is creating increased
interest and stimulating discussion.
Letting every man have his say
Is the constitutional method of
solving our problems. Why should
we make teaching into suspect
profession. by making our teachers
take a special oath.
The self-sacrifice and devotion
Of our teachers is one of the finest
examples of public service.
I believe that a teacher has a
right to the same freedom of
speech in expressing his political,
social or religious convictions, as
any other citizen.
And believe that a teacher has
the same right to work for the ac-
complishment of his political and
social ideals as any other citizen.
This does not mean that q
teacher should use a class room to
put forward his own pet views and
theories at the expense of other
views and theories. If he does, he
is no longer a teacher; he is a
propagandist. Our schools must
always be institutions where views
are expressed free of the personal
prejudices of the teachers. Upon
this I am, I believe, in complete
Evening star., 1936-08-25

agreement with the opinions ex-
pressed in resolutions by the teach
ers themselves through their own
associations.
Another danger from propaganda
is now present. It Is more serious
than the danger Of our teachers be-
coming propagandists. It concerns
widespread use Of the machinery Of
the Federal Government to main
tain the present administration in
power, and to bring into question
the faith Of the people in their way
OF life and In their form of govern
ment. When money is forcibly taken
by government from citizens and
used to tear down those things most
precious to our people, we see prop
aganda in its most shabby form.
Responsibility
Peculiar to Teachers.
believe I am also in agreement
with the majority opinion of teach
ers IN thinking that they have a
responsibility which is peculiar to
them by reason of their calling.
They should always see that it Is
clear, when making their views pub
Lie, that they are expressing their
personal opinions. This Is not a
question Of freedom of speech. 1t
is a matter of decency and respect
for the views of others interested
In their institutions.
However, we must not be afraid
to follow the truth, wherever 1t
may lead. Our attitude, In its
, broad application, must remain
that expressed by Thomas Jeffer-
son. In explaining the aims of
the University of Virginia. he said:
This institution will be based on

direction of a better educated and
no less devoted teaching corps the
public schools have gone far be-
yond the three RS. They have
developed this way with the full
approval and support of their pub
lic-a public which has always
stood ready to undergo sacrifices
to give adequate training to the
future citizens of America. My
own State, for example, devotes
more than 40 per cent of each tax
dollar to the support of the schools.
and other communities and States
act with corresponding liberality.
Public Education
Ladder Grows Longer.
One rung after another has been
added to the ladder of free public
education. Today we have the
State universities, the agricultural
colleges, the vocational schools,
the Junior colleges and the free
public libraries. 1t is a truly
democratic ladder. Given the
ability within himself, the child
from any home can aspire to climb
to the highest rung.
This, freedom OF educational op-
portunity has been one OF the

the illimitable freedom of the
human mind. For here we are
not afraid to follow truth wher-
ever 1t may lead, nor to tolerate
error as long as reason is left free
to combat it."
We must ever remember that
academic freedom, political free.
dom, religious freedom and free
dom Of opportunity are all bound
together. Infringement upon one
will soon lead to infringement upon
the others. In fighting to MAIN
tain our freedom, we will make
greatest progress by fighting for
the freedom of all.
We should not overlook the fact,
however, that today, both at home
and abroad, men are striving for
power through leadership of the
mob. Because of this, believe
that our educators should make a
more than normal effort to see
that our youth is given a back
ground of our heritage and ira
dition-a fundamental understand
ing Of the form and philosophy of
our government. II this is done.
we need have no fear of allowing
our youth to study any and all
systems of government to which
their curiosity leads them.
Only through ignorance or bis-
otry can we be destroyed. With
understanding and intelligence,
our future citizens will be able to
separate truth from the ever-in-
creasirg amount of propaganda.
We Americans are still in con-
troll Of our destiny. We can re-
main SO only through the processes
Of sound education.
