TRAINING AND EDUCATION
By Ruth ToyIor

Whotis it we need most in life = training or educo-

We must have BOTH training and education The
words ore not synonymous Nor is one alone enough.
Wherever training has been substituted for education
in Communist Russia, Noz Germany and Mtoristc Jop-

robot bombs and as bent as destruction.
Education means ITO lead out" 1t involves widen
ing of vision and deepening of thought 1t creative
and constructive You train onimol but you
educate only man.
Training hos it's uses in making customs become
automatic hobs Just the dicotors train for cruelty
and have roned our citizens to observe the
rights ond well being of Others Of course there
ceptons but they stond out because they ARE excep

Our homes should be the training ground for good
manners and cleanliness for right living and right think
ing We train ourselves in all the qualities we most
odmre in Others We moke habit of being punctu
al courteous and considerable We train ourselves into
the hobits of perseverance and concentration
On the basis of such training we are ready for edu
cotton Education is not merely book learning 1t is
derstondng 1t is the of the trained mind to learn
from people and circumstances we'll as from books
1t is the opening of new doors Of thought through which

requires steodfostness concentration to
become educated But those who eruy educotd find
new pathways opening out before Them woys which
they may progress better way of life The unframed
are the first to be laid off, The uneducoted rise
above themselves.
We need both training and educoton Only all our
citizens hove both and utilize both their highest sense,

Authors League Protests
Citations as Censorship

NEW YORK. Dec. P).-The
House Committee on Un-American
Activities exercised a radically
harmful form Of censorship" In cit
ing 10 Hollywood writer's and pro-
ducers for contempt of Congress, the
council of the Authors League OF
America charged yesterday.
Releasing a protest against the
committees action, which followed
the refusal of the Hollywood figures
to say whether they were Commu-
nists, the council said:
by denying to an author the
accepted democratic safeguards OF
witnesses in their own defense or
the elementary right Of cross-exam-
ination, the committee has encour-
aged witnesses to make unsupport-
ed public charges which blacken the
authors reputation, and has thus
clearly constituted a form of CEN
sorship dangerous to the rights and
economic subsistence OF all au-
thors."
The council whose president Is
Oscar Hammerstein, I'd, also at
tackled the motion picture industry
for having "cravenly submitted to
this censorship" by suspending the
cited writer's and directors.

of high-ranking military men sat
down to ponder the problem Of what
the well-attired onicer should wear

they had an answer-civilian tails

1t had been agreed by all, includ-
ing President Truman, that officers
of the Army, Navy and Marine
Corps were showing up at White

something had to be done about it

Fifth-Generation Navy Man
Gets Midshipman Post

Midshipman Sumner K. Moore,
81, a fifth-generation Navy man, was
appointed regimental operations Of
ficer at Annapolis yesterday. He
will hold the post for three months,
beginning December 13.
Midshipman Moore, who lives at
1925 Cleveland avenue NV, entered
the Naval Academy in 1914 as a
presidential appointee and is to
graduate in June.
The Navy is tradition in Mid
shipman Moore's family which he
can trace unbroken back to a great
great grandfather, Commodore H. H.
Lockwood, first instructor in mill
tary tactics at the time the Naval
Academy was founded in 1845. A
great grandfather, Rear Admiral
Charles D. Sigsbee, commanded the
battleship Maine at the time 1t
blew up in Havana harbor.
Both of Midshipman Moore's
grandfathers are rear admirals as
is his father, Rear Admiral Charles

sartorial elegance and studied mod
els. Then they came up with the
decision-civilian tails and trim
mings.
Throughout the deliberations in
the Pentagon the Quartermaster
Corps shot models In and out for
daytime style shows. Men In full
dress solemnly stalking through the
long corridors was not an uncorn-
mon sight. Some would be trimmed
with gold braid and other decora-
tions.
The committee decided that all
services could use tails as basis
and simply add touches of braid
gold buttons and other ornamental
tion to designate their military
status. 1t would be cheaper, too, for
the officers to pick up regular CIV
ilian outfit, they thought.
The decision is not ofiicial yet

ices for action and forwarding tc
