BROADER STATE
HEALTH PLAN
Society Plans Program To Aid
Mental Health of Public
in Delaware
TEACHER TRAINING

An expanded five-year program
for informing the general public on
mental health, in the hope that
people may be better able to meet
emotional crises, was announced
recently by Col. Edmund H. Bulls,
executive director of the Delaware
State Society of Mental Hygiene.
The plan to enlarge the organiza-
tion's work to include teachers and
mothers, was presented at the So
ciety's directors meeting in the
Hotel DUPONT and calls for:
1. The distribution of series of
six human relations class pamph-
lets designed to inform expectant
mothers and mothers of first bab-
les on the emotional needs for their
children.
2. The holding of training
course series during the academic
year ending June, 1949, for those
teachers who are interested or who
conduct the human relations class
es in five state communities.
Sessions For Teachers
8. Two proposed sessions spring
and fall, for first-grade teachers,
on the theme 1.-THE Better Emotion
al Adjustment of Children Start
ing School,"
4. The development now going
on of the society's Course No. 1 for
the sixth or seventh grades, and
the publication of the plans for this
course:
5. Development in school year
ending June 194s of Course II for
seventh or eighth grades, with
publication to follow:
6. Development of an album OF
records for use of music teachers
of Delaware for the human rela-
tion themes of music and the emo
tions, by school year ending June
1949;
Z. Development during the 1850
school year, the high school human
relations course No. III and pub
fishing of these plans;
8. BY end of school year June
1851, development of high school
course No.IV and publish its plans.
Training Is Broadened
Colonel Bulls said the program
Smyrna times., 1947-12-11

permits the society to offer such
information and training to a larg-
er portion of the population than
has been previously achieved.
He pointed out that Delaware's
mentally handicapped are cared for
in one of the best unsupported
mental hospitals in the country,
have the services of the first men,
tai hygiene clinic under state aus
pices, and the first state observa-
ton clinic to which individuals
may go voluntarily for diagnosis.
Such facilities afford the society
the unusual favorable opportunity
of devoting almost all its emphasis
to experimental and demonstra-
tional work in attempting to find
ways and means of building more
robust personalities.
other features included coopera-
tion with the Radio Corporation of
America and personnel of the Ma
tional Broadcasting Company in
the dramatization of stimulus
stories employed in the first human
relations class course. These rec
ords will be available within the
next six months and will be ac-
companied by individual lesson
plans giving the suggested method
of presenting that particular class
and other procedures.
r. @. A. Aids Program
R. C. A. will manufacture and
distribute these r e r d i n 6 S
throughout their various national
channels at no expense to the Del
aware Society and will pay a roy
atty for use of material.
Another factor in the program is
the acquisition of larger head
quarters for the society in or near
Wilmington. Although the organ
ization is very comfortably and
pleasantly situated in the Buckner
Building on Delaware Avenue, Col
onel Bulls said, there is not enough
space available in that site for the
society's needs. A research and
training program for fellowship re-
cipients sent to this state might be
made possible should larger quart
ers be found.
The use of music instead of stor-
les as a class discussion stimulus
for children in schools was explain
ed by the executive director. He
said, at the present time several
interested music teachers of the
state are experimenting with this
new method and it is hoped the
special album of phonograph rec
ords will be available by next fall
to be used by music teachers
throughout the state in carrying
on lessons concerning music and
the emotions in connection with

Two Views Defined

Two Views Defined
Prefacing his report TO the di-
rectors with definition of the two
points of view on mental hygiene
field, Colonel Bulls stated the first
was: The focusing of attention on
those mentally ill, mentally de-
fcient, or badly adjusted to life;
and second, that all the population
should be given more insight re-
garding mental health in the norm
al sense.
The training seminars for teach
ers in state schools would be under
the joint auspices of the Delaware
Society and the Delaware State
Education Association with the ap-
proval and endorsement of the
State Department of Public In
struction, Colonel Bulls disclosed.
The course would call for four
sessions, held a week apart, at
each training center at about 4:30
D. m. and would include a demon
stration class and teacher, to be
followed by discussion led by the
executive director.
Both white and Negro teachers
will be invited under the proposed
plan. Colonel Bulls stated, ''inas-
much as both racial roups are now
members of the teachers associa-
ton" This portion of the five-year
program is slated for action during
the academic year ending June,
1949.
Sessions Are Planned
The spring and fall sessions for
first-grade teachers has been plan
ned. Colonel Bulls said, to offer
emotional guidance for children at
the most important time of emo
tional experience in their lives
when they first enter school. The
contributions of outstanding au-
thorities from outside the state are
proposed for these special classes
to which the leaders in the field OF
mental hygiene will be invited as
discussion leaders.
The series of leaflets on human
relations for expectant and new
mothers, also scheduled for inaugu-
ration during the school year clos
ing June 1949, will be distributed
without charge through the Visit
ing Nurses, hospitals, physicians,
the State Department of Health,
and other channels. The develop
ment of these booklets will be car
ried on by the society members
during the next 10 months. A leaf
let will also be published for first
grade teachers and possibly for
parents of children going to school
for the first time.
A special committee is now CO.
operating with Colonel Bulls on
the development and experiment.
ing of the second course in the hu-
man relations class, scheduled for
fullscale application in the year
ending next June.
Members of this committee are.
Miss Emily O'Malley, Mrs. Daisy
Wallace of the Mt. Pleasant School,
Miss M. Virginia Mason and DR..
Peter G. Weber, both of the Clay
mont School, DR.. John Doering and
DR.. Joseph Jastak of the Delaware
Mental Hygiene Clinic.
SO Schools In Program
At the present, the director re-
ported, So schools, involving liz
teachers in 126 classes are now
carrying on the first course of hui
man relations. Course II is being
given in 13 schools of the three
counties, with Is teachers as in
structors and IL classes in session.
The overall totals of II schools
carrying either of the two courses
in Delaware, and the 12S teachers
involved were among the high
lights of Colonel Bulls statistical
report.

be said in support of keeping the tax
base as broad as possible to include
as many Americans as possible.
When the costs of Government are
shared in that manner, the sharing
can have the wholesome effect of
creating wider public conscious
ness of the responsibilities of citizen
ship and of the fact that Federal
expenditures are not to be under
taken lightly. Yet the theory, sound
though it is, can be overdone. Now
that the war is over, for example,
there is good reason to question the
wisdom of continuing to seek rela-
lively large chunks of money from
people with taxable incomes of less
than $1,000 year. Certainly, in a
time of high prices, taxation at that
level can constitute hardship if
prolonged.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach, who
has held the toughest assignment on the
domestic front since the end of the war
and who knows more about the indus
trial strife which ragged in this country
the latter part of 1945 and nearly ali
OF 1916, looks forward with hope to
year of industrial peace in 1947.
His hope ,is based upon an evident
changed attitude on the part Of both
leaders of industry and leaders of labor
as indicated in the recent accord between
United States Steel Corp. and the CIO
Steelworkers, and similar accord be-
tween Chrysler Corp. and the UAW-CIO.
It is predicted, too, on the pronounce
ment of the AFL in opposition to the CIO
proposal for a general wage increase of
20 to Is per cent, based on the Nathan
report that industry could grant such
wage increases without an increase in
prices of commodities.
y y
It has been reported that the admin
istration had Mr.. Schwellenbach under
consideration for appointment to the
United States Court of Claims along
with other special appointees. The
Secretary Of Labor, it can be said, has
no desire to be appointed to the Court
Of Claims. He was requested, soon after
the death of President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, to come to Washington by
President Truman and take over the
Department of Labor. He came, las q
matter Of patriotic duty. At the time
he was Federal district Judge for the
eastern division Of the State of Wash
ington, an Office he disliked to relin-
ouish. He came, too, without any pro-
mise, implied or explicit. that he would
in the future be reappointed to the
Federal bench.
1t would be something more than
human if Mr.. Schwellenbach, having
been through the heat Of the fray, during
the last year and half, did not desire
to stay In his present cabinet post and
see the results Of patient, unremitting
labor for industrial peace bear fruit
as now seems the prospect. Further, As

As under Mr.. Byrnes, Ambassador
Murphy and General Clark are still
laboring on those treaties at the
meeting of the Foreign Ministers
deputies in London. And all the
experts and technical stats remain
the same, well equipped to clarity
any aspect of the situation for Sec
retary Marshall.
Finally-and this is important
the new Secretary will be able to
leave this country without being
troubled by doubts about the man
who will run the State Department
in his absence. Undersecretary Dean
Acheson, prolonging personal
financial sacrifice. has agreed to
defer his resignation for several
more months. This means that the
department will continue to have
an Acting Secretary of great expert
ence and ability.

industrial Craftsmanship

In extending their wage agree
ment until April 80, the United
States Steel Corporation and the
CIO United Steelworkers of America
have shown a spirit of mutual ac-
commodation auguring well for the
prospect of continuing peace be-
tween them. Coupled with their
new understanding on the correction
of past pay-scale inequites, the de-
velopment is the most hopeful in a
long time in the field of labor-man-
agement relations.
Normally the wage contract would
have expired on February IS, but
both sides have recognized the i'm
possibility of negotiating a new one
by that date. The principal reason
for this is that the union is asking
for more than 100000 900 in portal
to-portal pay suits filed against the
corporation and now pending in the
courts. Until these. are settled, one
way or the other, United States
Steel can hardly be expected to
know where it stands in relation to
the additional union demands in
volved in the current negotiations
for new contract.
In agreeing to the two and-a half
month extension, Philip Murray,
president of the CIO and also of the
United SteelWorkers, has freely ac-
knowledged that the corporation has
clear right to it in such circum-
stances. He has taken the reason
able course, and by so doing, without
quibbling over it, he has served the
cause of industrial peace. Public
sentiment against strikes and the
temper of Congress may have had
some bearing on his decision, but
Mr.. Murray nevertheless deserves to
be commended for the good will and
good judgment he has displayed.
The same may be said, too, of the
spirit shown by Benjamin Fairless,
head of the corporation.
1t is these qualities-good will,
good judgment, reasonableness -
that form the essential basis of in
dustrial craftsmanship. If they con-
tinue to mark the steel negotiations,
there will be no trouble when the
extended contract expires on April
80. Mr.. Fairless and Mr.. Murray
have. set an encouraging example.
The same sort of action-signifi-
cantly enough-has been taken by
the Chrysler Corporation and the
CIO United Automobile Workers. If
this could become a kind of happy
contagion throughout the entire
field of labor management relations,
strikes would cease being the plague
they have been, and the whole Ma
ton would benefit, not least of all
the organized workers.

his testimony before the Senate Labor
Committee on the legislative program,
shows he has very definite ideas
regarding what should be done-and
against undue haste in doing anything
which might lead to further industrial
strife.
Mr.. Schwellenbach's recommendation
to the Senate committee were in exact
line with those Of President Truman In
his message to Congress on the state
Of the Union. However, the Secretary
of Labor not only supported the Presi-
dent on labor legislation, but he. also
announced himself fatty against several
Of the bills which have been introduced
by Republican members of the Senate
bills on which he had been requested to
testify.
The Secretary of Labor was particu-
larry strong in his support of the Tru-
man proposal for the creation Of joint
commission to study the whole problem
of labor relations before permanent
labor legislation was enacted. He did
not want the Wagner Labor Relations
Act changed until such q study had
been made. He opposed provision In
the Ball-Taft- Smith bill which he con-
strued would make the "check OF" IL
legal. He favored joint control-by
management and labor-of trust funds
(welfare funds). He believed supervis-
ory officials should not be barred from
unions Of their own. He opposed out
lawing all boycotts; though he favors
the outlawing Of secondary boycotts to
further jurisdictional disputes. He in
sisted the language Of the Norris-La
Guardia act should be written into legis-
lation relating to suits against labor
unions. He was against the outlawing
Of the closed shop. He took crack
at the bill seeking to do away with In
dustry-wide collective bargaining.
In short, except for crumb here and
there, the Secretary Of Labor aligned
himself squarely against Republican pro-
posals for labor legislation.

Marshall to Moscow

considering Cnat Cne MOSCOW Con-
ference in March requires the pres
ence of the Big Four Foreign Min
listers, the State Departments an
nouncement that Secretary Marshall
will attend is not surprising. The
announcement serves, however, to
end all speculation over the posi-
bility of his requesting some delay
in the meeting in order to give him
self more time to study the crucial
problems on the agenda-the enor-
mously complex and fateful prob
lens of drafting treaties for Austria
and Germany, the latter being of
decisive Importance.
During his long mission in China,
the new Secretary of State neces-
sarily lost touch with the ins-and-
outs of the European situation. Ac-
cordingly, when he succeeded Mr..
Byrnes fortnight ago, it was nat
ural to wonder whether he would be
able, between then and the opening
of the Moscow Conference, to pre-
pare adequately for the extremely
difficult four-power Austrian and
German negotiations. But he is
celebrated for his ability to absorb
problems in a quick and orderly
manner, and, as the State Depart
ment's announcement clearly indi-
Gates, he will 60 to Moscow as fully
informed as any man could be in
the circumstances. Moreover, the
expectations are that he will be &C
companied by the experienced BIZ
partisan Vandenberg- Connally team.
In many respects, after all, there
was never any great reason to worry
about Secretary Marshalls being
able to bone up" in time for the
Moscow meeting. To begin with,
wholly apart from his exceptional
mental qualities, he knows Europe
intimately. He knows it because
of all the thinking and acting he

Army Chief of Staff. He knows its
strategical implications and he
knows how they bear on its polit-
ical past and future. Further, hav-
ing participated Importantly as a
soldier diplomat in the Casablanca,
Teheran, Yalta and Potsdam Con-
ferences, he is anything but a novice
in the art of international negotia-
tions. Nor is he a stranger to men
like Foreign Minister Molotov.
1t is a fact, too, that the burden
of detail will not rest on Secretary
MarshalPs shoulders. He will follow
the basic plans already made by Mr..
Byrnes. The top command has
changed, but there has been no
break in the work of inplementing
the American position regarding
the Austrian and German treaties.

Tuxes and Fuirness

A matter of equity is involved in
the growing bipartisan opposition to
the Knutson bill for a straight 20
per cent slash in personal income
taxes. Forceful arguments have been
made by the President and others
against any cut at all at this time,
but congressional sentiment seems
strongly bent on granting some
measure of relief. This sentiment,
however, does not lean to the Knut-
son across-the-b board proposal. In
stead, it favors the idea of basing
reductions on the ability -to-pay
principle in order to give special
consideration to those whose earn
ings are in the lower brackets.
Thus, Senator Murray of Montana,
one of the Democrats in favor of
granting relief, holds that 1--WE
should begin to reduce taxes at the
bottom of the economic pile and not
at the top" A straight horizontal
slash, in his opinion, would be a
"windfall" to those in the best posi-
ton to pay. A similar view is held
by Representative Engel of Michi-
gan, one of Mr.. Knutson's fellow
Republicans in the House. AS he
puts it, the across-the-board plan
cannot be much of a boon to the
'little fellow" who needs the most
help. Accordingly, opposing the idea
of placing everybody on an equal
basis, he advocates substantial ex-
emption increases for the lower in
come groups. especially those earn
ing less than $4,000 year.
OF course, there is great deal to
