and step-saving arrangement. To make it a cooks delight it has all
the proper accouterments for preparing nourishing, well-balancer
meals, and aside from its functional and utilitarian services it includes

There was a time when Scotch
plaids were as politically significant
as the swastika or the hammer

prohibiting use of the plaids wasn't
repealed until 1882.

final contest between the class "B
and class "A" winner scheduled for
late in the afternoon.
In warning that no entries will
be accepted after the Tuesday dead
line, Racing Director Gail T. Judd
pointed out that Derby officials need
severel days between registration
deadline and the date of the race
to arrang for inspection of the cars
and to prepare charts giving the
order in which each boy will race
1--WE always try to inspect each
car enough days in advance Of the
race so that boy whose car may
be disqualified because of some mi
nor point will have time to correct
it," Mr.. Judd said.
He urged all contestants to make
sure their cars conform with the
directions as specified in the rule
books
"The judges will not be able to
make any exceptions" he said,
Each year, some boys are disquali-
fed because of some construction
error which they could have cor
rected had they paid close attention
to the rules"
Mr.. Judd declared all boys would
soon receive directions as to when
they should have their ears ready
to be transported to the National
Guard Armory, where they will be
inspected and stored until the day
of the race.
"On Derby Day, there will be me-
chanics and materials on hand at
the course so that last-minute re-
pairs and adjustments may be
made" he said.
The American Legion official also
cautioned all race drivers against
trying out their cars on Derby
Downs" prior to the day of the
race.
That is public highway" he
warned, "and it will remain one

Atom Program Pushes
Superiority Of U. 5. in.
Field, LiIienthal Says
BY the Assoeioted Press


DES MONIES. Iowa, Nov. S.
The United States is engaged in an
atomic energy program that will
advance this country's superiority
in all aspects of this field" David
z. Lilienthal said last night.
The Atomic Energy Commission
chairman, addressing a capacity au-
dience at the Iowa State Teachers
Association Convention here, said:
I'VE In this country are engaged
on program to create an atomic
energy enterprise so large, so well
stated and managed, aided by such
great industries and great univer-
stiles, that the United States Of
America will not only continue to
lead, but viii establish unquestioned
and unchallenged superiority"
He said this meant superiority
in all aspects of this field, not only
in weapons but in basic science, ag-
riculture, industry, power, nutrition
and in all the other fields which
this field of knowledge touches"
Important new developments in
atomic energy are being explored,
Mr.. Lilienthal said. He gave no de-
tails.
Mr.. Lilienthal reiterated to his
teacher audience the need for the
American people to become informed
on atomic energy.
THE greatest danger for the flu
ture of our country is not in the
hazards of atomic warfare" he said.
"The greatest danger lies in this:
That tested methods of democracy
will be jettisoned tandD will not be
applied to the public issues that
cluster about atomic energy"

School Pay Studied
In Survey, Dr.. Strayer
Tells D. T.. Teachers

District public school teachers
fast night heard from DR.. George
D. Strayer himself on the scope of
the 100000 survey of school needs
he Is conducting here for Congress.
Although speaking in general
terms about the survey, DIR. Strayer
indicated q building program was
one of the things he would recon-
mend as vital for the Schools
The teachers heard much about
the survey, its purpose and progress,
d but little about what the survey staff
had found wrong with the school
system. This information must be
reported to Congress before it can
be released, DR.. Strayer said.
DR.. Strayer told the teachers,
who jammed into the Department
Auditorium, that it is evident so far
there is "a need for a building pro-
gram to eliminate part-time classes
in the District and to provide for
the increasing population in outly-
ing sections.
Improvement Urged.
I'VE are aware :. of many of the
excellencies of the program of ed
ucation now provided" he declared.
"We shall propose the measures to
be taken to improve the service
rendered to the children Of the
District"
DR.. Strayer said his staff was con-
cerped with the problems associated
with the personnel in the school,
He said matters of salaries, sick
leave, retirement and pensions are
matters of primary Importance"
in the development of service pro-
vided by the schools.
The District school teachers have
no sick leave plan now and have
been fighting for one.
DR.. Strayer, who is professor
emeritus of educa ton of Teachers
College at Columbia University, told
reporters he is getting full co-opera-
tlon from the school system, and
the whole thing is being threshed
out together. There is no member
of the survey staff sitting in judg-
ment without conference" he de-
clared.
Survey Due in December.
DIR. Strayer said he would have
the section of his survey dealing
with the building program ready in
December and the complete report
ready by March l. These dates may
be changed some because of the
upset in Congress, he pointed out.
Senator Dworshak, Republican, of
Idaho chairman of the District
subcommittee of the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee, was de-
feated in the election and it was he
who was instrumental in getting
the survey underway.
In his speech to the teachers, DR..
Strayer outlined the kind of edu-
cation he favored-thus giving some
idea of what the proposals for the
District schools will be.
He said additional vocational
training for high school students
in some saleable skill was important
and proposed these courses be Of
fered to large numbers of students
Adult education on a basis compar-
able to that made for youth also
should be instituted in this country.
Elementary schools are failing to
provide health, counseling and
guidance programs but are doing
good jobs on reading. writing and
arithmetic.

Royal Says Movements
Based on Prejudice Fail
By the Assoeiotsd Press

GREENSBORO, N. c., Nov. S.
Army Secretary Royal said today
"any Southern movement based on
prejudice or injustice will not very
long succeed"
Such a movement, he added, "can
only work a disservice to our South
land and to our entire Nation
Secretary Royal did not explain
what movement he referred to, in
a speach read for him at the Ag-
ricultural and Technical College of
North Carolina-a Negro school.
Weather conditions prevented him
from flying here to deliver the
speech in person.
He called attention to a speech he
made at Roanoke, Va, a few days
before the election. In it he men
toned the danger that splinter
parties" might help drive the Nation
tomard communism, then added:
land the Dixiecrats-perhap un-
wittingly-are contributing to this
danger"
Commenting that "your entire
institution is an evidence of the
fairness accorded by North Caro-
lima to the Negro race for decades" !"
the Secretary himself North Caro-
linian, struck out at those who
urge courses that seem to us totally
impractical" He said:
II know, and you know, that ex-
tremists in distant States often make
our task more difficult. They i'm
pede the very cause which they as
sumo to protect.
But even to these extremists we
must give their dues. No great
problem was ever solved without
some protagonists who were far
out in front of reality and prac-
ticality. Often these missionaries
are necessary to awake us out of our
lethargy and indifference.
