New York has adopted the first law
against discrimination In employ
meM. The States unemployment
insurance program has been broadly
liberalized to provide for increased
benefits. Year-round employment
has been encouraged. The Work.
mems Compensation Board has been
improved and expanded. The States
minimum wage laws have been ex-
tended to protect 100000 additional
workers. The apprentice training
program has been expanded and
multiplied, as has on the job train
ing. The Nations first school of In
dustrial and Labor Relations has
been established at Cornell Univers-
ity, and both the minimum pay and
the average pay of State employees
has been greatly increased.
Under the Dewey administration,
New York's independent Mediation
Board and State Labor Relations
Board have excellent records in set
tling industrial disputes. Both have
the respect and confidence of en-
ployees and employers.
| I urge you to examine the records
and listen to the addresses Of
Gov. Dewey. I urge you to consider
carefully what has happened since
the war under the present national
administration. If you do, I be-
lieve that you will conclude that
Governor Dewey should be elected
to the White House.
Will Garry Out Platform.
Gov. Dewey has made it clear,
in his acceptance message, that he
will carry out the Republican plat
form in the spirit in which it was
written as a forward looking
document developed under the chair
manship of Senator Lodge through
the insistence of millions of the
younger and more liberal members
of the Republican Party.
In addition to the preservation of
the rights Of union labor, deep con-
sideration will be given to white COL
lar workers, teachers, clerks, firemen,
policement, bookkeepers, pensioners
and others with fixed incomes, who
have been most seriously pinched by
the postwar imitation. Their plight
will receive prompt attention, both
for their own sake and for the peril
which this lack of balance presents
to our entire economic system.
The second campaign complaint
made yesterday was to seek to shift
the blame for high prices. This tao
tic was sharply exposed last year
when after he had listed gambling
: in grain as one of the factors caus-
ing high prices, it was thereafter
proven and confessed that members
of his own official family were
gambling in grain and commodities
on sure shot insite basis. These
facts were brought to light before
the Investigating Committee so cap
ably headed by the able junior Sen
ator from Michigan, Homer Fergu-
son.
Clearly the primary cause of high
prices are the world wide shortage
of goods in the wake of war, coupled
with the unsound policies of the ad-
ministration after the war, and the
further urgent necessity of sending
quantities of American goods abroad

labor constituted a separate, distinct
class In our society. His speech was
IN variance with American tradition.
Young America still believes as does
the Republican Party that our
America is the land of opportunity.
Many American families have, as
my family has, members who are
in the ranks of organized labor, of
small business, Of professional and
white collar work, and on the farm.
Let us beware of the politicians who
would sow the seeds of disunity in
the minds of American youth for
the sake of floating political ad-
vantage. We of the Republican
Party appeal for cooperation, not
for class war and hatred. I believe
that our Republican Party will fur
nish such leadership by the decision
of the people next November. We
will make progress in the increased
real wages of labor, the fair bal
ance Of our economy, the improve
ments in health and housing.
Housing is q sorry problem in
America. It is unthinkable that
more than a million of the veterans
OF this war cannot find a decent
place for themselves and their fam
lilies to live. We must break through
this housing jam.
Neither Party Blameless.
This much should be said. Neither
political party is blameless in the
picture. Neither is entirely respon-
Sible. The conditions with which we
are now suffering go backs many
years and have been compounded
through the war. But it should be
pointed out that the immediate
postwar confusion and bungling in
the housing situation occurred at
the time the President and his
party were in complete control of
all branches Of the Government.
At least we are now building houses
at a higher rate than ever before
In hour history. But I will be the
first to say that these houses are
being constructed at a price beyond
the reach OF the average purchaser
and the rate of construction is still
too slow. l. do look forward to

Science Teachers Told
They Stick Too Much
To Use Of Text Books

Too many science teachers stick
too close to textbooks, members of
science teaching societies of the
American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science we're told to-
Gay.
Richard L. Weaver Of the North
Carolina Resource Use Education
Commission, chairman of a panel
discussion on curriculum develop
ment in science, said there is a
complex on textbooks among science
teachers" He said science teachers
do not adapt science courses to COM
munity problems. adding that they
are afraid to study problems directly
related to the students because
they feel they should be on chapter
six of a text"
DR.. Edgar Fuller, executive Sec
rotary of the National Council Of
Chief State School Officers, United
States ONCE of Education, said text
books are an excuse for lazy
teaching" among many science
teachers. They just don't want to
exert enough energy to plan course
Of their own that would be more
beneficial to pupils
Discussing ways to get communities
to back new science studies In
schools, Dr. Morris Meister, principal
of the High School of Science IN
New York City, said there should be
a science I. @. for parents and
students. Then parents would see
how little they know about general
science problems and they would
force children to learn these things"
Examples of questions on such an
I. @. test would be, What do you
do if a fuse blows out" or what do
you do if you find a living insect in
the house?" DR.. Meister said.
DR.. Rose Lammel, associate pro-
fessor of education at New York
University, charged that science
isn't tied up enough with students
experiences. She said science courses
should be built around such ques-
tons as What made it rain to-
day? =. Why do the lights 60 of
and on?"
Glenn o. Blough, specialist for
elementary science for the ONCE of
Education, said science teachers are
too academic in the teaching. Chill
dren should learn more about
health practices instead of learn
ing the anatomy of an earthworm."
Representatives of the American
Study Society, National Association
of Biology Teachers and the Ma
tional Science Teachers Associa-
ton, composed the science teaching
societies that are holding a three
day meeting in Washington To-
days panel discussion was held at
the washington Hotel. The three
associations will meet separately
this afternoon at the Washington
and Willard Hotels.

From all the evidence, you seem

Better Care Urged
For Victims Of Speech
And Hearing Defects

Higher professional standards are
urgently needed to protect persons
with speech and hearing defects
from so-called specialists who do
more harm than good, DR.. Martin F.
Palmer told delegates to conven-
tions Of four national associations
concerned with problems Of speech
at the Statler Hotel today.
DR.. Palmer spoke before a joint
opening session of conventions of
the speech Association Of America,
the American Speech and Hearing
Association, the American Educa-
tional Theater Association and the
National University Extension AS
sociations' Committee on Debate
Materials and Interstate Corpora
ton.
DR.. Palmer, who is president of
the American Speech and Hearing
Association, said few people realize
the economic waste the country
suffers because of its neglect of per-
sons with speech and hearing de-
fects. It has been estimated, he
said. that the incomes of about
$500, 1000 persons who stutter are
reduced about $9S0,000, 900 a year
because of their speech defects.
295,000 Lack Proper Care.
There are some 295 900 persons
suffering from cerebral palsy who
receive little more than institution
al care, he said. 1t will cost ap-
proximately $4,000, 900 900 to support
these sufferers through their expect
ed life spans under present condi-
tons, he said, but with more intel
ligent treatment many of them
could be restored to economic USE
fitness under a program which
would cost considerably less.
James H. McBurney of North
western University was elected
president Of the Speech Association
of America, succeeding Rupert L.
Cortright of Wayne University. Hor-
ace Rahskoff of the University of
Washington was elected first vice
president and E. r. Nichols of the
University of Redlands, second vice
president.
BY noon more than 800 delegates
had registered for the four conven-
tions.
The educational theater group
the dramatic workshops
of more than 1000 schools and col
leges and many of the delegates will
be teachers who supervise student
theaters in the country's educa-
tional institutions. They will dis
cuss wide range of topics, rang
ing from children's theater through
new plays, technical developments
and theater architecture and re-
search.

official C.. Float May Be Out;
Suffrage Bockers to Try Again

The on-again, off-again suffrage
float for the inaugural parade is
on-again today-maybe.
Despite stream of mo common"
comments today from Charles Stof-
berg, special assistant to District
Commissioner John Russell Young,
it was reliably reported that the
Commissioners have given up the
idea of sponsoring an of1cial Dis
trict of Columbia float.
In that case, any local group could
enter such a float, and The Star
learned several groups already are
rushing to fill the vacuum-all of
them favoring some sort of suffrage
for voteless Washingtonians.
Among these groups now busy
trying to round up enough cash to
float a float are the Truman
Barley Club, the Washington Home
Rule Committee and the District
Democratic Central Committee. The
Democrats, who started the whole
argument by voting to enter SUI
frage float. will meet later this week
to get back into the act.
