The Stilwell PAPERS

distribution. The book will be pub
lished on May "a by William Sloane

Stilwell, always a scorner of hypOc-
risy, lays bare in no uncertain terms
the truth about the Chinese govern
ment, and our policy toward that gov
eminent during the three years he
spent in China as deputy commander
of Obi Operations and Chief of Staff
to Chang K'ai-Shek The revealing
passages from his diaries and letters
to Mrs. Stilwel1 present an unpleasant
picture of American and British fail
ure to help where and when help
was so badly needed. They dig deep
into the pitiful intrigue and ineffi-
cheney of the Chinese government
At the same time, they show the adj
miration Stilwell had for the Chinese
people themselves.

This is the more important because
the Walt Whitman School, of which
Louise Kreuger is a director, has
been cited, by the Department Of
Justice as subversive and disloyal
to the United States"
The Board of Education already
has directed that no more of the
Rugg -Kreuger texts be purchased.
Under questioning yesterday by the
Miller subcommittee, DR.. Corning
said his text book committee now
was considering whether those now
in the schools should be removed
from use.
In another section of the report,

Report to Commissioners.
Franklin T. Miles, attorney, who
drafted the Miller resolution to re-
wise history teaching courses and
change the school board tenure tes-
titled that DR.. Corning last summer
had written a report on similar
bill and sent it to the Commission
ers without getting school board ac-
ton. It was recalled, he said, at
the instance of Mr.. Lee.
During his testimony yesterday
Mr.. Miles attacked the National Ed
ucation Association for having out
lived its usefulness"
DR.. Corning was closely questioned
about his support years ago OF an
earlier text by Author Rugg. DR..
Corning explained that during his
service as superintendent of the
schools of Colorado Springs, Colo,
there had been controversies over
use of the Rugg books. He said this
issue was not limited to Colorado
Springs but had been general over
the country.
Not Same Texts.
Further, he made the point that
those Rugg texts were not the same
as those which have been listed
here for supplemental reading in
the elementary grades. The issue
in Colorado, he said, was settled
long before he left there to go to
Omaha, where he served for six
years before coming to Washington.
When his past career was brought
up, DR.. Corning insisted that the

used in the District schools.
School officials, the report added,
should continue with renewed vigor
to teach the evils of communism
and its destruction of individual
liberty and freedom"
In its criticism of the Hughes
text, the subcommittee found it
contained an overemphasis on the
unfavorable aspects of the Ameri-
can way of life and history and an
can way of life and history and
an underemphasis Of the favorable
side.
I'm many instances" it continued,
"the book seems to select minute
imperfections in our system OF
government and to magnify t1em
without giving credit to the thou
sands of good things under our
system. In the light of informa-
ton available, the book does not
paint a true picture OF the real
life in Russian under Communism. !"
It commented that VFW spokes-
men had made a particular point
of the books quotation from an
immigrant that America was "a
place like heaven for the rich and
like hell for the foreign worker"
The subcommittee said this state
ment was not properly counterbal-
anced by statements from imnl-
grants who praise this country.
There are millions of these, 1t as
serted.
Teacher Loyalty Defended.
The history courses OF the
schools, the loyalty of the teachers
and officers we're defended by most
of a dozen witnesses heard yester-
day by the subcommittee. One of
these, Dr.. Robert A. Maurer, vice
president of the school board, said
| If there was any question regarding
the loyalty of any teacher or officer,
the board would get rid of such a
person.
DR.. Maurer urged that the selec-
ton of the curriculum be left to
school officials who, he asserted,
should know what instruction is
most adaptable to the pupils by age
groups.
Objecting to the clause of the
Miller resolution which would bar
reappointment of a school board
member for more than second
three-year term, DR.. Maurer said
this carried "gratuitous implica-
tion'' as to two members who had
served longer than six years-Mrs.
Henry Grattan Doyle and Mrs.
Philip Sidney Smith. He called them
two of the finest women In gov
ernment service anywhere in the

Army 10 Put thunitions
Planned for Scrapping
Back in SfoekpiIe
BY the Associated Press

The Army is going to keep a lot
of ammunition it had planned to let
go as surplus.
John r. Steelman, assistant to
President Truman, said yesterday
the Army's estimate of steel and
iron scrap it could provide industry
through demilitarizing surplus am
munition has been cut in half.
Mr.. Steelman said this resulted
from resurvey of Army stockpile
needs. He added that whatever is
"reclassified as nonsurplus will be
maintained as a national asset in
the ammunition stockpile."
The Army estimated last Septem-
| ber that 100000 tons of out-of-date
and surplus ammunition could be
disarmed for scrap the first half OF
194S. Now it sees only 100000 tons
for that period and another 100000
tons for the last half of the year.
The 100000 tons will furnish about
| 60,000 tons of scrap.
