What Does New

Arthur Nandenberg R. Mich.t when
he raped the offer OF the democratic
high command to Join in an indorse-
ment of the Truman policy.
Executive Director Gael Sullivan of
the democratic national committee
asked COP Natl. Chairman Carroll
Reece to join in a two party state
ment hacking mp the Truman anticom.
munist policy to show a united front
to the world.
Nandenherg. taking the floor of the
senate. said. when bipartisan for
eign policy gets into the rival hands
of partisan national committees il is
in grave danger of losing lis precious
character ! hope that Mr.. Reece
will not accept the invitation. He has
faithfully kept his party ont of foreign
policy politics. am sure he will con
tinue to do so
Whether or not that means the
widening OF a split between the COP
and the administration. the fact Is
that many republicans will join some
democrats in opposing the Truman
program with at least an intention OF
limiting some of his powers.
The Truman doctrine will be OPP
posed by a large number of Americans
who have had enough of war and talk
of war. 1t will meet with much OBJ
lection from veterans particularly
combat veterans. along with isolation
lists. with riehtists and leftists of
various shades and hues.
Perhaps the key issue at this time
is the stand to be taken by Sen. Rob
ert A. Taft Or. o. who could find it
a vehicle upon which to base his cam
paign for the republican nomination

Mcclellan May Win
If Gordon Clapp
Is Rejected

Sen. X. ID. Mcclellan may come off
way ahead for his fight on David
+. L~illienthal. even though the former
IVA head is confirmed. through the
CHANGING blows which have been de
livered to Gordon Clapp, nominee to
succeed Lillienthal.
Mcclellan, a political h%enchman of
Ed Crump. Memphis and Shelby coun-
ty political boss, is hungry for some
jobs for his followers on the IVA
payroll. 1t is a hunger whetted BY
IL years Of frustration-and Clapp is
one of the TVA'ers who did it. AS
personnel director for a time, Clapp
set up merit procedures which barred
many Of McKellar's hopefuls who had
nothing to recommend them except
the senator's endorsement.
The TWAS refusal to become a pa
tronage pool for Crump and Mcclellan
has been particularly. disappointing to
them. Crump is, in full and absolute
control in Memphis and Shelby coun.
ty. But he needs patronage across
the state to strengthen his influence
in Tennessee state affairs. With a
subservient IVA. the Memphis polit-
ical machine might have placed hun
dreds of Tennesseeans from all over
the state in jobs, and built a machine
OF such obligated job-holders from all
counties.
The TWAS strict adherence to merit
did not permit such an operation, and
has proved such a disappointment to
KID that he has battled the agency
bitterly at every opportunity.
Gordon Clapp, general manager of
iva, will undoubtedly uphold merit
policies if made chairman. The fight
against him consequently is of top i'm
portance to the Crump machine. -

What is the present wage picture of
American teachers? Today one out Of
30 teachers receives less than $500
u year; one Of five less than $1,000.
The national average of teacher sal

less than the lowest salary paid by
the federal government to professional
workers, and only about half the an
nual income Of skilled workers.
