Risks and Security

In making pubic hltnerCO secret
American documents on Greece and
Turkey, the State Department has
revealed nothing new regarding di-
rect and indirect Soviet preSsures
against those two countries. What
1t has done, however, is to describe
the pressures in detail and confirm
that President Truman's proposal
for Greco-Turkish aid is not the
product of an impulsive, overnight
decision.
The documents are based on dip
lomatic and military intelligence
gathered over a protracted period.
They represent careful official
studies designed to measure the
long-term significance of situation
bearing upon the security of the
United States. They show that our
Government, long before the British
revealed that they would have to
withdraw financial aid from Greece,
had been giving serious thought to
what it's policy should be in relation
to the power balance in that crucial
part of the world In short, they
show that the so-called Truman
Doctrine" far from being hit-or-
miss improvisation, is the result of
long and sober consideration.
AS for the documents themselves,
their substance has been known to
the American public for some time.
They leave little or no room for
doubt that Russia has been follow
ing a policy calculated to bring
Greece and Turkey within its orbit.
Without help the present Greek
government, caught in grave eco
non1ic plight and faced with guer-
rilla warfare directed by Moscow
encouraged Communist minority,
will almost certainly collapse and be
succeeded by Soviet puppet regime.
Such a development would immedi-
ately imperil Turkish independence.
The Turks have been the subject OF
extremely hostile Russian propa-
ganda, and they have received sharp
and repeated demands from the
Kremlin for concessions in the Dar-
danelles and for territory in the
northeastern part of their country.
Their future cannot be divorced
from the Greek future. Should
Greece pass into the Soviet sphere,
Turkey would be pressed the same

Progressive Education Deplored
To rd;for ~ Tbn Etar.

Progressive EQuCauOn DeplOTcQ
To the Editor Of The Star:
A popular opinion of the day Is that
teachers should receive higher pay. I
agree 100 per cent that their pay is low
in proportion to their responsibilities.
However, do not agree that they fully
are shouldering these responsibilities to
the extent that they are doing
good job of teaching our children. Based
upon this, they are grossly overpaid.
Perhaps the above statement needs to
be clarified. 1t is broad charge, but it
is not intended to be a charge against
teachers so much as charge against
the theory of teaching which has taken
q firm hold in many of our schools. The
responsibility, no doubt, rests on the
shoulders of the supervisors and edu-
Gators who have promoted progressive
education"
This theory" OF education alone ap-
pears to me to be wrong as it simply
means less teaching The proof lies in
the schoolroom where the children are
being taught. It Is there that the STU
dent is first permitted to do those things
that please him most rather than those
things that do him the most good. If
the child has an inherited thirst for
knowledge, he probably will get along
if he is not inhibited by the majority
who have no such thirst. This teaching
theory no doubt has its place in col
leges where the student has chosen his
field and realizes the importance OF
digging into the subject. However,
child in the grades or even high school
has not that outlook and the looseness
of his schooling can add confusion to an
already bewildered mind.
The traits that are being developed
today in our schools are not those that
made our Franklins, Jeffersons, or
Lincolns, but rather traits that we flnG
pronounced in the much publicized "de-
linquent" The child is encouraged in
school to "do as he pleases" within
limits This gives him self-assurance to
continue to do as he pleases outside OF
school, It is not long before he has
done as he pleased" too often and be-
comes public charge. He certainly is

course pointed out to him.

school age and I frankly am concerned
over the teaching he will be subjected to

reversed. When send him to school,
I want him to be taught and not ex-

TERRITORIAL VET5' BOARD MEET5 HERE
 REVIEWING WORK

Members of the Territorial Vet erans' Board, appointed to ad minister the loans and bonuses for Territorial veterans provided for by the 1946 Special Session of the Territorial Legislature, have met in Juneau to review the accom- plishments of the agency during the eleven months in which it has been in operation and to formu- late such new regulations as the experiences of the past months might prove advisable.
 The report of Norman Haley, Territorial Commissioner oi Veter- ans Affairs who was appointed by the board last year to administer the provisions of the Act. shows that in the period of less than a year since the agency began operations, 231 6i.sct loans with outstanding balances totaling $1.- 134,01324 have teen made and 933 bonuses paid. The average of loans made is $4,900.00 and the average of bonuses paid is s3S00o
 In addition to the direct loans, banks in all divisions of the Terri tory have participated under the lean guaranty provision of the Act to the extent of 1855 loans total ing 1922, ,97500 This makes a total of 3S6 loans, totaling S2,056, ,988 24, negotiated by the agency.
 Of the direct loans, recapi- tulation indicated that the loans made included 84 for homes, 77 for small businesses, including mining, 38 fer boats, 22 were personal, and 5 for farms.
 Administration of the Act has Leen accomplished by a personnel of IA, which includes the Com missioner, four Regional Directors, three secretaries for the Regional Directors, and an office force of six in the Juneau Regional and Head Offices. Thus it will be seen that the agency has but one em- ployee for each 42,000 square miles in the Territory of Alaska.
 District offices are located in Fairbanks serving the Second and Fourth Divisions, Anchorage serv- ing the Third Division, Juneau serving the northern half of the First Division, and Ketchikan serving the southern half of the First Division.

 LOUISVILLE, Ky, May 2.-lR Remember way back when rac- ing folks used to tell you that winter races were harmful to colts and that even the Derby came too early in the season? . Maybe they were right, but it is note worthy that the Florida California rivalry now stands along the old east-west dispute as something to argue about during Derby Week.
 Faultless, Riskolater and Bullet Proof all ran in Hialeah's Flamingo on March 1, and Liberty Road ran in another event there the same day On Trust, Stepfather and VII Sickle are real California pro- ducts, bred and raced there, and Jet Pilot got into one California race Up to yesterday some of the experts were saying trainer Ben Jones could sweep everything in sight, since he already had won couple of good races and has tCp entries in today's Oaks and the Derby. But when Ben's horse came in dead last yesterday, Ben plaintively remarked: You know, I don't like to finish last.
