DIR. G.. r. MILLER
Educator Speaks For 0ptim-
istic Change in World
Attitude
EDUCATION FOR PEACE

Declaring that there is a solu-
tio to the confusion an chaos in the
world and that it is general uni
versal education in free society,
with opportunity for all colors,
classes and races, DR.. George r.
Miller, state supervisor of public
instruction, addressed the Smyrna
Lions Club Monday night at The
Wayside Inn. We have found that
science and technology are not in
themselves sufficient, the speaker
stated; some element is missing.
There Is no reason to be pessimis-
tic, America is not built that way,
and this is not the first time we
have had to pause to consider the
future" he said. Citing definite
moments in history to prove this,
the speaker said that in all ages
panaceas have been offered. 1--WE
must not feel that the world is
facing a Good Friday in history
but be convinced that there is an
Easter for free peoples every
where" Irrespective of the weak
nesses of democracy we must
eternally believe in it. Taking up
his point on education, DR.. Miller
said that education has a practical
aspect and is a good investment.
In doing things in a practical way
we build up an ideal. He gave
statistics from the u. S. Chamber
of Commerce to show the relation
between economic status and edu-
cation; where the economic status
is high, educational standards are
high. Where more money is spent
for education per capita there are
greater retail sales. People are
beginning to see that these facts
are true" If we are to get the
kin of progress we envision we Will
have to spend more for education,
and see that the states that can't
afford more will be helped with
federal funds without federal con-
troll. Reaffirming his faith in boys
and girls he said that they are not
problems but they have problems
and we must change our attitude
from pessimism to optimism about
the young. Develop in children a
feeling of security, not that comes
from lack of effort, but from a
feeling that they are part OF some
thing; indulge in their sense of ad-
venturing." ''Do something to de-
velop faith and courage to i'm
piement that faith"
Progress in Education
Progress in education means
more and better teachers, and
more money for equipment. I'm
less such a progressive program is
adopted the United States will
never be able to develop a world
peace so desired at this time. Re-
sponse was made by Glenn S. King.
The invocation was given by Fred
williams and the speaker was in
troduced by William s. bud" Will
son. Francis Gebhart presided.
The committee named for the

Warner w. Price, Jr., Charles M.

American Legion Suggests Changes In United Nations

WASHINGTON, (H9 = Calling the security council perpetual ly hung. jury" the American Le- zion today proposed an overhaul of the United Nations charter to bobtail the Big Five veto and set up a "tyranny-proof" world police force.
 Climaxing a year of study, the Legion's recommendations were forwarded in letter to each member of Congress with this acknowledgment:
 Tt may not be possible or ex- pedient to attempt to bring about changes now, but we believe they suggest a goal which must be at tained in order that the United Nations becomes fully effective" :"
 The veterans organization con- tended that its recommendations would Hay a solid foundation for the elimination of the atomic threat" It said further they "are indispensable to bring about an adequate substitute for the grim rules of power politics"
 Specifically, the Legion pro- posed three charter amendments designed to:
 I. Give more effective repre- sentation of the nations" on the security council and abolish the veto in cases of aggression "or preparation for aggression"
 2. Give the security council adequate powers" to prevent ag- gressive war by creating iron clad international controls over atomic weapons and all other means ot mass destruction.

that politically the Territory is ab- solutely at the mercy of any man or small group of men in Congress determined to work his or its will"
 Bartlett said that the conferees statement that the action does not reflect any intention to modify or depart from the policy of agricul- ture research through grants to the states and territories or to ini- tiate a policy of taking over state experiment stations "is extremely puzzling because that is just what this bill does.

Indict ChristOffel For Perjury

WASHINGTON, (R-A federal grand jury today indicted Harold Roland Christoffel, Milwaukee CIO leader, on charges that he committed perjury in telling a Congressional committee that he was not a member of the Com munist party.
 Christoffel testified before the House labor committee last March 1. He was president of the United Auto Workers local No. 248 at time when Allis-Chalmers plants in the Milwaukee area were shut down by a protracted strike.
 The labor committee was inves- tigating the causes of labor dis putes, work stoppages and strikes with particular reference to any influence of subversive groups.
 The indictment said that Chris toffel, under oath, "categorically denied" any utilization with Com munists or the Communist party. Nevertheless, the grand jury re- port said, he twas then a member of the Communist party and had been such member for several years thereto and had worked with the Communist party and with the Communist political as- Sociation."

Bartlett Blasts At Agriculture Pro- gram For Alaska
(By Charles D. Watkinsl

UP) Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, (R-Delegate Bartlett of Alaska denounced yes terday as a "vicious piece of legis- lation" the pending authorization of Sl44,94O for agriculture re- search in the Territory with the proviso that the agriculture de- partment take over the work now done by the University of Alaska.
 The compromise l948 agricul- ture appropriations bill carries money and says the department shall take over the work done by the university and any unexpend- ed funds it now has on hand.
 That money includes federal and territorial funds appropriated for the agriculture station operat- ed for the Territory by the uni versity, Bartlett said.
 The House agreed to the confer ence report Friday and the Senate debated it Monday.
 "I think this one of the most vicious pieces of legislation af- fecting Alaska which has ever been passed by the Congress of the United States Bartlett said in a statement. "It is an abrogas tion of home rule and local re- sponsibility."
 "The university of Alaska is a land-grant college in exactly the same sense as are similar institu- tions in the United States proper, and all of us know that Congress would never seek to move in suca a fashion concerning a land gran! college in the States.
 Not only does this bill divest the authorities of the University of Alaska of all control with re- spect to the agriculture research program but it high-handedly as serts the supreme authority of the Congress over the Territory by seeking to take out of the Terri torial treasury funds appropri- ated by the Territorial legislature for agriculture reserach at the university and give this money to the secretary of agriculture for expenditure.
 "It is fantastic that such a pro- posal should ever have been made. The language which finally appears in the bill is proof enough

H . NO4 NEW
Baseball, though, is agitated,
which is nothing new to the game.
It's agitated because baseball
holds itself as something sacred in
commercialized sport. BOyhoOd's
bright vision of fair play, the al
legged national pastime worthy of
fanatical worship by grOwnups,
and all that sort of thing.
A chain is as strong as its weakest
link. Thus organized baseball must
rate as lowest in business morals" of
all commercial enterprises in the coun-
try. Why? Because under organized
basebalps reserve clause" ball play
ers are still bondmen, human chattel.
Ball players are sold on the hoof
like cattle from club to club. It is
slavery's last outpost in this land,
where human beings are price-tagged,
bought and sold on the block.
Yet some pious magnates are
heaving immense signs of relief at
Larry MacPhail's taking off from
baseball. They have him tabled as
character who did baseball more
harm than good. / thoroughly
agree that MacPhail was difficult
guy to get along with. That, how
ever, has nothing to do with a
mans being detrimental to base
ball.
MacPhai1 possibly was baseball's
greatest Snowman. And baseball heav-
lily leans on showmanship for its exist
ence. Showmanship is often vulgar
and rowdy, as when baseball managers
winning reputation for "scrappiness"
bark at and attempt to intimidate UNI
pires.
Your MacPhail, the magnate, could
be likened to the phony "scrappy"
manager. He was a clustering barker,
sober or in his cups, a shover-around
OF persons, including magnates. Also,
he was easily baseball's top promoter.
BASEBALL HUCKSTERS
MacPhail was a huckster and
newspaper headline hunter, and that
might also explain his undoing. With
the MacPhail type, nothing fails like
too much success. His tawdry business
trlumphs seemed to vex rather than
satisfy him, once they had been accom-
plished.
Larry was baseball's scheme bow.
He introduced night baseball to the
failure club, Cincinnati. 1t shocked
the magnates. And of course it was
huge success. He laid the founda.
tons for two pennant winners in
Cincy, then hoped to Brooklyn.
DOdgertOwn was treated to night
baseball, the club was pulled out of
the financial gutter and given a
pennant.
MacPhail was supposed to have
grabbed scadS of dough from his
Dodger successes. Yet he came out of
the war with empty pockets. The
huckSter'S sure scent on the money
trail nosed him to two men-Dan
Topping, cafe society character and
heir to tin plate kings fortune, and
Del Webb, wealthy contractor. Larry
had the baseball and business brains.
Topping and Webb the dough. Mac
Phail wangled the purchase of the
coveted Yankee baseball property
from the Rupert estate at the I'M
Sellevable bargain price of $3,2OOOOQ
MacPhail was given one-third of
the stock and overall control of the
Yankee club. The Yankees were a
glHterlng success, financially and pro-
fessionally, as you know.
