Brussels Pact Group
Meets With u. ). and
British Observers
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Sept. 28.-Defense chiefs
OF the five Brussels Alliance Coun-
tries continued today their top Sc
cret talks on speeding their joint
programs.
After two sessions yesterday, the
defense ministers and their chiefs
of staff met again with American
and Canadian military observers
who are attached to the permanent
military commission set up by the
Brussels pact. They are meeting in
the office of French Defense Min
lister Paul Ramadier.
Four Defense Points Covered.
Representing the United States is
Maj. Gen. A. F. Kibler The Brit
ish, Belgian, Dutch and Luxem-
bourg Ministers are, respectively, A..
v. Alexander, Col. Raoul de Frai-
teur. w. E. Schokking and M. Du-
pong.
The military talks were under
stood authoritatively to be covering
these aspects Of joint defense:
1. A general speeding up of the
five powers military programs.
2. The extent to which the United
States and Canada will be able
materially to back the alliance short
of entering into an immediate full
scale military treaty.
3. Coordination of the five ma
tons military rearmament plans in
the light Of mounting East-West
tension in Germany.
4. A general showdown of demobi-
1ization and completion OF plans for
q partial rehabilitation in the event
of a further deterioration in East
West relations.
Effects on ERP Studied.
It was authoritatively learned that
particular attention is being given
to the effects the five powers limited
preparedness programs will have on
the European Recovery Program.
Of1cials said that because Brit
aims contribution to Western Euro
pean rearmament will be the largest,
it is possible she will get a bigger
share than has already been allo-
Gated to her by the European Re-
covery Program.
The officials stressed that the cur
rent meetings Of the defense minis
ters and their chiefs Of staff are no
sudden event but have been long
scheduled.

Ewing

Der of the Washington Bookshop
was not sufficient cause for dis
missal, the witness said. The answer
might be found in a follow-up IN
vestigation, such as his reputation
among neighbors.
The Washington Bookshop has
been listed by Attorney General
Clark as Subversive. Mr.. Ewing
pointed out that an employe could
have joined the bookshop for the
purpose of buying books cheaply.
Mr.. Ewing yesterday described as
ridiculous" and absolutely false
charges that his agency had ham
pered the anti-C Communist work OF
the Office of Education. He said
he is intensely interested in the pro-
gram and is supporting it.
He dismissed as pure. unadul-
terated poppycock" the inference he
saw in the charges Of DR.. John w.
Studebaker, former commissioner OF
education, that he (Ewing) had in
jected politics into supervision OF
the once OF Education.
In a 5,000-word defense Of his
l3-month service as head OF the
FSA, Mr.. Ewing cited Congressional
actions and reports as well as execu-
tive orders to support his decisions
regarding the education office.
Admits Change In Texts.
He admitted that he or his as
sistants had changed the text or
had held up publication Of few OF
the international pieces proffered
by the education office, but he in
sisted this was justifiable by re-
sponsibilities laid on him by Con-
gress or executive orders.
While he was testifying, word
came that the argument Of DR.. Stu
debaker for an independent office
Of education, responsible to board
Of representative citizens, had been
supported by the American Asso-
citation of School Administrators, in
session in Chicago.
With school administrators from
40 States attending, the Associated
Press reported, the association urged
removal of the office of education
from control Of the FSA.

Ewing said he had followed estab-
lished rules of the Budget Bureau
for reviewing material by subordi-
mates in a Government agency.
Had Planned to Fire Studebaker.
Earlier, Mr.. Ewing disclosed he
had decided as early as last Febru-
ary to replace DR.. Studebaker with
a new commissioner Of education.
He said this decision had the ap-
proval of President Truman. He
said he had not told DR.. Studebaker
but assumed he had learned Of 1t.
DR.. Studebaker resigned last July
is, ending service Of about IA
years.

ilege they do not understand, OF
choosing our leaders by ballots, that
we are divided thereby. When the
primaries and the elections are
over we close ranks as no totali-
tartan system has ever cone, or
ever can do
In Portland as in Seattle last
night, the greater part of his speech
was devoted to the irrigation and
conservation problems of the West
ern States, but he digreSsed to
express himself on the latest de-
velopments in Paris, as follows:
I'VE are meeting in very serious
times. 1t is time when the shadow
of serious conflict again hangs over
the meeting of the United Nations;
when our former ally is again re-.
pudiating all of the normal means
of solving international differences
and when tension Is obviously
grave"
"It is time when we need as
never before, to make clear TO the
entire world the attitude OF the
American people. The attitude I
think can summarize very simply.
1t should be known by all those
who occupy the seats of power not
only in totalitarian nations but in
all the free nations which are our
friends and whose freedom is pre-
cious and important to us and to
our well being.
Nothing Will Divide Country.
THE attitude of the American
people is that though we are now
engaged in political campaign,
though we are engaged, believe, in
the process of changing our ma
tional administration, we are doing
it for the purpose of strengthening
our country, of bringing to 1t new
unity, and adopting competence
in our foreign policy that it does
not have. Nothing will divide our
country and nothing more than a
crisis will SO unite us.
Nothing will be said or done on
my part or on the part of the Re-
publican Party during this cam
paign which will do anything but
strengthen our power, our prestige
and our unity to deal with a world
situation which is fraught with the
gravest of difficulties. We are a
little different from any other coun-
try. In fact, we are different from
most countries in almost everything,
but in one respect we are very much
different.
1--WE take our political decisions
pretty seriously in this country, we
can take our arguments pretty hard.
We can take the debates of politi-
cal and economic issues with the
greatest of seriousness, but what
some people in the world do not
seem to understand is that we have
such a thing as sportsmanship in
the United States, that we have
such thing as closing ranks imme-
diately when debate Is settled.
Important Peace Factor.
"We in the Republican Party have
our debates I had one out here in
Portland, then We had our debates
and differences at convention, but
Immediately that convention was
over we drew together as one strong
great force for the good of the
country without a rift or a bit OF
disunity, and with every single lead
er and member of our party pulling
together as one great team for a
common purpose That's what the
whole American people do after an
election. 1t would be wise for all

District Teachers
weigh Plans 10 Seek
Raise, Sick Benefits

Teachers in the Districts public
schools had before them today plans
for obtaining q cost-of-living salary
increase and provisions for sick
leave with pay.
These measures were discussed at
q meeting yesterday Of the Educa-
ton Association Of the District at
the Burdick Vocational High School.
DR.. Regis Louise Boyle, teacher at
Eastern High School and president
of the association, said about $50
teachers were present.
The teachers plans were outlined
today by DR.. Boyle and DR.. Myra
Seitz, Central High School teacher
and legislative chairman Of the as
ISOLATION.
Failed in Congress.
Teachers voted 5 to / in q poll
last spring to ask for salary in
crease of $1,000. But they failed
to get a raise through Congress.
No definite sum to seek from the
next session Of Congress has been
set, but it was pointed out that the
minimum should be the $3.50 aver
age salary increase voted Govern
ment workers at the last session Of
Congress.
Approval of sick leave has to be
obtained still from the Commission
erS.
DR.. Boyle said that on the basis OF
sick leave regulations for Govern
ment workers teachers should be
entitled to 10 days sick leave with
pay q year. At present, DR.. Seitz
pointed out, a teacher who is sick
must pay the salary of a substitute.
DR.. Boyle said there are engineers
among the school custodians max
ing more than teachers. A chief
engineer can 60 up to $500 q year,
she said, while the average salary
of teachers last year was $3,393. 1t
is now $3,481.
Only 10 Get Maximum.
DR.. Seitz said that If the pay
raise for District employes-from
which the teachers were excluded,
goes through-many custodians
would be making more than teach
ers.
The maximum for teachers here
is $4,000 but only 10 teachers are
getting 1t.
1--WE are 10th in average salaries
among the 20 largest cities OF the
country" DR.. Boyle said. THAT
is the reason there are so many
temporary teachers here"
Washington teachers get salary
increases of 500 a year, but DR..
Boyle said there are a places where
the annual increments are larger.

ing an inquiry into activities of its
Greater New York (City) Council.
CIO President Philip Murray
ordered the investigation when con-
fronted with q long list of charges
against the councils leadership
signed by a group of right-wing

The charges ran all the way from

Noble County Had
No Fatal Accidents

Noble county was one of the six
throughout the state of Ohio that
reported no deaths on rural state
highways during 1947, according to
a report released today by Frank A.
Adamshick, chief of the Ohio De-
partment of Highways, Bureau of
Information and Statistics.
Other counties who share this per-
feet record with Noble county, are
Auglaize, Cuyahoga, Henry, Nor
gan and Paulding. This record was
maintained in spite of the fact that
the worst straight stretch of road
for a period of three miles in the
state is located just north of Cald-
well. More accidents are said to oc-
cur on this section of highway than
any other place in the state of Ohio.
In 1947, there were four counties
that reported more than 20 deaths
on rural state highways, including
Lucas, Summit, Trumbull and
Wayne.
Almost half of the 1947 traffic
deaths on rural state highways re-
suit from collisions of motor We
hicles. One fourth of the deaths
were chargeable to non-collision or
single vehicle accidents. Pedestrian
accidents accounted for one of every
five traffic accidents on rural state
roads.
