Diplomatic delicacy keeps the
Army from being too definite about
what nation or nations might be
potential enemies. SergeantS will
have to be a little vague about the
nationality of the dummies used
for bayonet practice or targets for
rifle practice or grenade throwing.

To help the selectee understand
why he is in service, he will hear
and read discussions on the Army's
mission to seize and occupy land
areas in a war, and to stand occupa-

And in this connection he will be
told why it is necessary to maintain

By the Assocjoted Press

ST. LOUIS, July 7.-Union elec-
trical workers voted to accept a

1t was estimated that at least
500 900 workers in the st. Louis area
alone would have been made idle by
the walkout which had originally
been set for yesterday. The workers
voted Monday to postpone the strike
six days, then yesterday they ap-
proved the company's latest offer.
The company's plants In Missouri
would not have been affected by the

Wise Use Of u. ). Aid
Under Marshall Plan
Promised by Bevin
By the Associoted Press

WHITLEY BAY, England, July
7.-Foreign Secretary Bevin pledged
today that Britain will use Amer
ican gifts under the Marshall Plan
wisely.
Britain is not going to have
nights debauch" with the funds, he
told the annual conference of the
National Union of Mine Workers.
"If we take Marshall aid today we
take it in the spirit that We are
going to use it wisely" he said. I'VE
are going on with austerity because
we are determined to hand over to
our children a free, independent
and up-to-date nation"
Parliament approved last night
the accord with the United States
under which Britain will get about
ST 200 100000 during the first year.
Recalls Churchill Charge.
The outspoken Bevin told the
mine unionists the belief that
diplomacy must be carried on over
the heads of the people Is "all moon
shine"
Foreign affairs is common-sense
people hoping to talk with other
common-sense people" he declared.
"All this business of concealing your
thoughts is just tommyrot. 1t is be-
cause we are moving into this plane
that disagreements sometimes seem
to be more acute"
Mr.. Bevin recalled that former
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
said "the bad management of the
Labor Government" IS the cause of
Britain's need for aid. The Foreign
Secretary said, This is nonsense"
London newspapers hailed accept
ance of the Marshall Plan generally
as the turning point in the British
struggle for solvency.
I'VE are indeed mourning a heavy
burden of responsibility" the Liberal
News Chronicle commented. But it
is clear we are not being
asked to make any promises which
we cannot honorably perform. We
can discharge this debt by intelligent
use of our resources and by diligent
hard work"
Beaverbrook Assails Pact.
The Laborite Daily Herald said

because it is realized on both sides
of the Atlantic that Britain has an

dered against the agreement, as
serting that another step has been
taken in the direction of liquidating

The Communist Daily Worker also
took swipe at the agreement, say
ing Britain is now in dependent

The agreement was approved by
the House of Commons by vote OF

Teachers Gef Report
On Own 'ERP';
Denies Lobby Charge
by the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, July 7.-Amerlcan
teachers, under their own "profes-
sional Marshall Plan," have given
$274,O00 and more than 100000
books to teachers around the world,
it was reported today.
The report was made by Lyle W.
Ashby, chairman of the National
Education Associations committee
for overseas teacher relief.
Mr.. Ashby told $500 delegates to
the MEAS annual convention that
the idea started with teachers in
Miami, Fla, Last summer and got
underway in State and local aSso-
Citations in October. Since then, he
said, more than $250,O0O given by
American teachers has been spent
for food, clothing, books and schol-
arships for their fellow teachers in
80 countries.
Miss Mabel Studebaker, biology
teacher at a high school in Erie,
Pa, was nominated without opposi-
ton for election Friday as president
of the association.
Dewey Issues Denial.
Gov. Dewey sent the convention
word yesterday denying he asked
other Governors to break the
teachers lobby" and promising to
discuss Federal aid to education in
his campaign for President.
The New York Governors state
ment, telephoned by his secretary,
James Hagerty, to Martin Wilson OF
New York City, was read shortly
after more than 1000 NEA delegates
adopted a resolution calling on
President Truman Ito reconvene the
Eightieth Congress for the express
purpose of passing the Taft-Mc-
Cowen Federal aid to education leg
islation."
Last month Columnist Drew Pear
son wrote at the June Governors
Conference in Portsmouth. N. H.
that Gov. Dewey tried unsuccess-
fully to get other Governors to sup
port an "anti-teacher publicity
campaign"
Mr.. Pearson said Gov. Dewey
lambasted the teachers lobby for
higher pay and called teachers
propaganda "the biggest lie since
Adolf Hitler" The debate in which
the other Governors rejected Gov
tDeweys suggestion was held in
executive session" with the press
barred because Gov. Dewey so in
sisted, Mr.. Pearson wrote.
No Motion to Break Lobby"
Gov. Dewey's statement was a
reply to New York NEA delegates
who asked him about the column
lists report. The reply said in part:
"On the story: 1t is not right
There never was any motion by
Gov. Dewey, or any Governor, to
break the teachers lobby. There
was a discussion by Gov. Dewey and
other Governors regarding a pro-
posal to the Council of State Gov
ernmentS, nonpolitical group, to
make Nation wide study of steps
that have been taken, or are under
consideration by various State gov
ernments for increasing State aid
to education. That was. the
sum and substance of the discus
sion."
The statement added that Gov.
Dewey will discuss Federal aid to
education at length during the
campaign"
The failure of Republican leader
ship in the House to bring the Sen
ate-approved Federal-aid-to-schools
bill to a vote has been the hottest
issue of the NEA since delegates
from every State and Territory
opened their five-day meeting
Monday.

1.-Two Big Problems
|0fMoraIeE
lin Pedcetime Draft
By the Associated Press

The limited peacetime draft due
to go into operation this fall poses
a double -barreled morale problem
for the armed services.
The first arises from the relatively
small number of men to be called;
the second from the absence of any
identified enemy threatening imrhi-
nent invasion.
An Army troop information and
education expert said today both
of these factors are being taken in
account in plans for handling the
new selectees.
On the first point he noted that
selective service will call up only
a handful of men compared with
the more than 100000 indicted
during the war. Thus some Selectees
may feel that they are being singled
out when few if any of their friends
are called.
1t will be the task of the informa-
ton and education section to make
the selectee understand why a uni
form has been put on him.

Modern Love Letters
Are Fronker
Than Ever Before

CHICAGO.-Modern love letters
are franker and more straightfor-
ward than ever before in history.
a Chicago librarian says. They
make some Of the classics of lit
erature look as dull as a catalog
at a locomotive factory.
Men come in all the time to
get ideas from the great love let
ters," Miss Nordica Fenneman
said, but I'm afraid they don't
follow the example. These modern
romeos are in a faster league al
together"
From old Roman days to the Vic
torian period, suitors spent at least
1900 words and half a dozen let
tiers leading up to saying II love
you" Miss Fenneman said.
They talked about their loved
ones "classic beauty" Of the in
spiration of nature, and the tender
emotions aroused by a ripping
brook. They started out with Dear
est Friend" and ended up with
MY fondest affections" without
ever getting down to brass lacks.
Benjamin Franklin spent several
hundred words talking about Soc
rates." "Elysian Fields" and nu-
merous other things before propos-
ing to a French widow.
The writer's Of the romantic and
Victorian periods considered it un-
fashionable to rush straight to the
point in a letter. They demanded
plenty Of trappings and all the wa
sion possible.
Love letters formerly were very
ornate" Miss Fenneman said.
''They had long words. a lot Of
imagery. flowery phrases and all
sorts Of literary references. They
were in every respect the exact
opposite of the current style"
Suitors today may dig in the let
tiers Of the Brownings and the story
Of Omar Khayam for quotations to
illustrate points in their letters. she
said. But they don't copy the style.
'They get right to the point now"
she said, land, confidentially, I
think the girls like it a lot better"
