JOHN CARDINAL GLENNON
(Hartford Timesl

(Hartford Times)
 All his life, according to the prac- tice of his faith, the Archbishop of St. Louis, the Most Rev. John Glen non, prayed for the grace of a hap py death" His prayers were ans wered.
 Many times during his life the Archbishop had been signally hon. ored by his church for his powers as an orator, his effectiveness as an administrator of the great archdio- cese of St. Louis and for the enli- nently Christian exemplification Of his daily life. At the age of 83 1t was reasonable to assume that his life's work was practically done. One more task-and one more honor remained.
 Pope Plus XII, at the close of the most disastrous war in the history of the world, gathered the forces Of the Church for the postwar struggle which he foresaw between the forces of the spirit and those of the ma terial. To symbolize the universality of the problem and of the measures necessary to solve it, he called a great consistory for the designation of new Cardinals. Archbishop Glen non, full of years, was one of those called to Rome for the honor and the duty.
 On his way home to St. Louis the Cardinal dropped of for a visit in Ireland, the land of his birth and boyhood. If it were Gods will that he not return to his diocese, no one who remembers his early forensic efforts for Irish liberation could but know that the Cardinal himself would have wished to end his days in Dublin. And so it was.
 St. Louis and America may feel a sense of loss that they must change their paeans of congratulations to funeral eulogies. The work that the Cardinal did, and the spirit in which 1t was performed, will con- tinue however as guide marks for those who follow after him.

 Placing of military such commission is A departure from our tradition and precedeD Beyond that there are other obvious dangers whios nave been pointed out. It is feared that militia, control not only would alarm other nations and th- adversely affect our foreign policy but that as matter of plain efficiency 1t would hamstring deve opment of atomic energy both in the bomb and 0eacetime uses.

 Anybody who has been around Washington fer any time knows the effect Of military control The military mind is rigid and uninventive. It follows beaten paths. There is grave danger that 1t woulo seriously hamper development of atomic energy Tor peacetime uses. since the whole stress under Army control would be on the military.

 What makes Che situation more alarming Is the fact that the Russians are maintaining huge army of l,i00OO0 men in Hungary. This tremendous con- eentration of troops in a country of only lSOoOOOO furthermore this army consists of new, fresh troops and is located just south of Lake Baaton, an area from which it could quickly reach Trieste.
 However. the eight divisions of Yugoslav troops, bristling with lend-lease equipment, would be suff- cient to smash the skeletonized Angio-American forces in Trieste even without Russian assistance. At present the Yugosav Army is drawn up about aO miles from Trieste on the so-called Morgan Line established by British General Morgan as the dividing point between British-American occupation and the Yugoslavs.
 If this superior Yugoslav force starts advancing on Trieste American troops face the alternative of stepping aside or opening fire Tn the latter case, U. S. forces would be annihilated.
 Politically, the situation is extremely compli- cated with one important political point on the soe of the Yugosavs Back in l940, before YugoSlavia was invaded by Germany, King Peter was promised that his country could have Trieste after the war it resisted the Nazi invasion
 Actually the city of Trieste is dominated by Ital- ians, though population around 1t is largely Xugo- sav Before the last war it was Austro- Hungarian, but went to Italy under the Paris Peace Conference an award the Yugosavs always resented Later, the Yugoslavs were more resentful when Italian fascists under DAnnunzlo seized Plume, which Wood row Wilson decreed should be Yugoslav.
 So today Marshal Tito is out to get not only Plume which he already has, but Trieste and large areas of Italian territory around Goriza Udine and the Venezia-Euganea where the population is large ly Italian.
 Probably there would have been more American support for the Yugosavs were for the fact that Trieste plays a key role in the old Russian aim to take over the Balkans and dominate the Eastern

School for Adults

TWENTY-FIVE years ago a
small blond woman travelled
the dusty mountain roads OF
South Carolina to knock on the
weathered doors of Sunbonneted
strangers. She was selling a strange
commodity: Adult education.
Today, more than 5000 South
Carolinians will tell you that they
owe their education to that State
supervisor of adult education, viii
Lou Gray, a mild-mannered lady
with skin so delicate that she can't
go out in the sun without parasol.
Among the 5000 are people who
have gone on to graduate from col
leges and even to get M. A. With
an immense enthusiasm, they write
to the schools founder, Miss Will
LOU" from all over the world to
tell her that she had a part in
making their life what it is today.
The 1916 General Assembly OF
South Carolina recently gave the
opportunity school a home of its
own for the first time. 1t has been

plant upon the generosity of other

Higher Pay Drains
Many Teachers Away

The chief reason for the shortage
and the decline in teacher caliber
is the relatively higher wages paid
in industry, Government, and in
other non-teaching occupations
which demand college preparation.
The National Education Associa.
tion estimates that the average
teachers salary in elementary and
second (high) schools was 81 1875 in
1945-46 compared with 81 ,470 in 1910.
However. recent average wages of all
factory workers amount to s2,l55 for
a 50-week work year.
In 1944-45 the average teachers
salary in the District of Columbia, a
high-paying area, was s2,619. A
teacher in the District must be a
college graduate with full profess
sional training. For 1914 the aver.
age salary of professional employees
in the Federal Government was S3,.
