| NATL. EDUCATION
BOARD URGED
BY CHANCELLOR

Educational forces of the Unite,
States should be modified for wa
and peace by creation of nationa
emergency educational board accord
ing to the recommendation of eigh
prominent American educators, head
ed by DR.. Ernest o. Melby, chancellor
of the Greater University of Montana
Recommendation of the education
al leaders are contained in the sixth
yearbook of the John Dewey Society
just published under the title of mo
bilizing Educational Resources. DR.
Melby acted as chairman of the year
book committee and editor of the vol
ume, as well as contributing to two
of its chapters. Two books has ar
rived at the library at Montana State
University.
Other contributors to the sympo-
stun include William H. Fitzpatrick,
formerly professor of education, Co
lumbia university; George S. Counts,
professor of education, Columbia uni
versity; Harold Benjamin, dean,
school of education, University of
Maryland; Kenneth Benne, assistant
professor Of education, University of
Illinois; Theodore Brameld, associate
professor of educational philosophy,
University of Minnesota; Harold c..
Hand, professor of education, Univer-
sity of Maryland; and John K Nor
ton, professor of education, Columbia
university
Functions of the national educa-
tional board, as recommended by the
educators, would cover five main OBJ
jectives. First of these would be ito
develop grand conception of organ
lied education for the American peo-
pie as a nation for the period of our
supreme ordeal-the period of win
ming the war and the peace"
The second function would be "to
translate this conception into a basic
program for the schools, from the
through the university.
Third, the board would strive to CO.
ordinate the program of the school
with the program of the non-school
agencies through co-or-
lination and understanding with the
press, the radio, and the movies.
In the fourth place, the board would
attempt "to integrate with the schools
md with one another the educational |,
functions and efforts associated with |
he armed forces and the various fed |
sral agencies set up for the prosecu-
ion of the war"
Finally, the national educational |
body would formulate and present to
he national government proposal for
ederal aid to education
The report proposes that the board |

To many, including some congress.
men, this congress seems a drowsy
melodrama, bad script, poorly cast
and badly directed, signifying moth
ing. 1t isn't the dullness, the slow
ness that gets them; it's the sus-
pense, the stealthy care with which
powerful groups are playing for posi-
ton, for advantage, for control, for
the shaping of the economy Of the
nation and the world.
The Scarcity Boys are up against
the growing possibility that produc-
ton for abundance for war may be
converted into production of abun-
dance for peace.
Senator O'Mahoney's postwar eco
nomic planning committee, the Kill
gore, Truman, and Murray small bust
ness committees crank warming sirens
against monopoly, cartels and the
colossal folly of permitting a return
to prewar scarcity, unemployment
and want.
Out through the country peoples
groups fight, then join, for the priv
iIege of booking Wallace to speak.
The three major church groups, labor,
civic, and some farm groups are talk
ing post war in brass tack economic
terms.

their prehensile ears, alert congress-

LABOR MUST
GET VOTE OUT
IN 1914

! Louis Ludlow (Dem.) from the In
dianapolis district, Indiana, mustered
a vote of 1882 last election, onl,
796 more than his republican rival
The 1943 ration books indicate a pop
ulation increase in Marion county o
$1,000. Union members who have
moved into the Indianapolis area tt
work can swing the election there il
1914.
In Detroit the situation is clearly
in the hands of the unions. Since
1910, the total population has in
creased by 1S0,47S, largely workers
and their families. The union vote in
any district can reward labor's friends
and punish labor's foes:
For instance:
Geo. D. O'Brien (Dem) polled only
500 more votes than his rival.
Louis c. Rabaut (Dem.) polled only
1903 more than his rival
John D. Dingell (Dem) polled only
23,690 more than his rival.
John Lesinski (Dem) polled only
12,431 more than his rival.
Geo. A. Dondero (Rep) polled only
1851 more than his rival.
In Akron (Ohio) and surrounding
counties, Ed Rowe (Rep.) won by
only 3,109 votes. The 22,193 new peo-
pie in Akron can elect some one else.
In Dayton and Montgomery county,
1860 new persons have moved in.
Harry P. Jeffrey (Rep) Ever heard
of him?) polled only 3,O39 more than
his rival
In Dallas county, Tex, Hatton w.
Summers, powerful chairman of the
judiciary committee, polled a total of
1O,56S votes. If the 44,S97 new inhab-
itants of Dallas, most of them union
men and women, would exercise their
right to vote, the insurance lobby and
the railroad lobby will have to side
up to less distinguished figure.
In Fort Worth, Fritz Lanham polled
1884 votes. The 10000 new people
n Tarrant county alone, should be
able to decide if Mr.. Lanham repre-
'ents them we'll.

Nearly 10000 people have moved

Kilday, San Antonio's congressman,

enemies as a major military
defeat of our armies"
Mr.. Patton's statement fol
lows:
a years campaign to nullify the
Economic Sterilization Act is on the
verge of success. An unholy coali-
ton of spokesman for big agriculture,
professors distributors and the U. S.
Chamber of Commerce has worked
without letup to this end.
This coalition would prevent price
sterilization by insisting on prices
''rising to their natural level in the
open market" and opposing the use of
subsidies insisting that higher farm
prices, some of them necessary to get
production in the kinds and quantities
needed, be passed on in higher prices
consumers. At the same time, this
coalition has opposed wage adjust
ments to meet higher living costs and
at least some of it's members are now
on record in favor of 10 per cent
sales tax which, for low income farm
ers and wage earners, amounts to
straight wage cut All this has been
advocated with full knowledge that
scrapping of the Economic Stabiliza-
ton Act and adoption of this program
would invite initiation.
AS a result, we now face an out
break of national disunity, name-call-
ing, and weakening of war production,
both in industry and on the farms.
Labor, having waited more than a
year for prices and profits to be sta
bilized and facing living costs official
ly six per cent above Sept. 1912, is
pressing for wage adjustments in coal
mining transportation and other in
dustries The house banking commit
tee has recommended a new prohibit
ton against subsidies; nothing effec-
tive in the way of limitation of war
profits is being considered. We are |
on the verge of a disaster on the
home front that would be as valuable
to our enemies as major military
defeat of our armies.
1t is high time the American people
recognize that the use of subsidies is
now the only practicable alternative
to spiraling increases in prices, wages
and profits. Let's draw a new anti

Harmful Antifreeze
Solutions Endanger
Autos and Trucks

More than half-million gallons OF
harmful and Obstructive anti-freeze is
included in the supply of anti-freeze
preparations for sale to the public,
the Office of Defense Transportation
estimates.
Warning that certain types of anti
freeze solutions have been found high
ly destructive to radiators, ignition
systems, asd rubber connections in
automobiles and trucks, the ODT
urges operators not to allow such ma
terials, regardless of cheapness, to be
put into their vehicles. Where such
solutions already have been put in,
ODT advises that they be drained out
Immediately and replaced with safe
anti-freeze of the ethylene-glycol or
alcohol type.
Every effort is being made to pro-
vide sufficient ethylene-glycol or al
cohol anti-freeze for all types of auto
mobile transportation, ODT says.
Destructive types of anti-freeze for
sale, according to ODT, are those
compounded with petroleum distil-
lates or with Inorganic salts, inclul-
ing calcium or magnesium or sodium
chloride common salt), production of
which was stopped last January.
To help operators avoid injurio
anti-freeze, the ODT says says the
National Bureau of Standards has
identified the following brand-named
products, made before January 20,
1943, harmful anti-freeze solutions
as defined in the War Production
Board order which stopped their man.
