Letter 10 the Editor

once was the largest red salmon stream of it's size in the world. Hauls of over 1855 900 salmon has been made often in the mouth of the stream Remember, there were also seven canneries operat- ing here for many years, and yet the salmon was in great abund- ance until the "Killer" traps of Cape Uyak and Cape Ugat were driven. Since then, the natives of thus village cannot even earn a living and find it necessary to seek work elsewhere. Let us now therefore. kill the animals which have for ce ,turies lived here, and which in recent years brought hundreds of thousands of dollars to Kodiak from visiting sports men Does it make sense?

it dropped seats in parliament owing to
vote distribution in the individual constit-
uencies. The Socialists did about the
same. The League of Independents polled
488000 votes which indicates that they
got most of the ex-Nazi ballots but few
others. They will have 16 seats in the new
parliament, ranking ahead of the CON-
munists but still negligible from par
liamentary viewpoint.
The elections were unhampered by the
occupying powers, even the Russians keep
ing hands off In their zone. Popular
interest was keen, as evidenced by the
heavy vote, which ran over 80 per cent of
all qualified electors The procedure was
everywhere orderly, even prediction
clashes being few and of minor character.
The outcome should be gratifying to the
Western democracies. Austria is POLITICAL

democratic principles and unalterably
opposed to communism. The strength of
It's parliamentary hold Is massive and
interchangeable. The local Communists
and the neo-Nazis are alike 'lunatic
fringeS" who cannot affect official policies
or the character of legislation. Austria's
political course thus remains unchanged.

Teachers and Loyalty

The Educational Policies Commission
has taken common-sense line regarding
special State loyalty procedures and school
teachers. In effect, 1t warns against the
procedures as a threat to academic free
dom and local supervision in the field of
education.
Established in 1885 by the National
Education Association and the American
Association of School Administrators the
commission is an experienced and expert
organization whose present membership
includes President Eisenhower of Colunl-
bia and President Conant of Harvard.
Accordingly having made a thorough
study of the question, its views on loyalty
command attention.
In its own words, what the commission
holds is that state laws requiring special
oaths for teachers, or laying down detailed
prescriptions for the school curriculum, or
establishing uniform tests and criteria of
loyalty impair the vigor of local school
autonomy and thus do harm to an
important safeguard Of freedom in
education"
OF course, as it made clear in public
statement last June, the commission still
believes that Communists should not be
employed as American teachers. It's view
is that pupils, while being taught to
appreciate our free way of life, should
have every opportunity to learn about all
forms of totalitarianism, but that the
advocacy of the doctrine-as distinct from
an objective exposition of it-ought not
to be permitted in our classrooms, and
that the advocates themselves ought
therefore to be barred.
That said, however, the commission also
believes that we must be on guard against
the loose use of words like "Red" and
Communist" 1t warns, too, against the
careless application of loyalty yardsticks
to patriotic Americans whose different or
more advanced views may lead some
mediocre or stupid bureaucrat or trouble
maker to accuse them of being un-Amer-
ican. AS far as our teachers and schools
are concerned, that sort of thing could
become poisonous.
Actually, it does not make much sense
to single out teachers for special loyalty
procedures not required of other citizens.
The problem can be handled best at the
local level, where the disloyal can be
readily detected and where State inter-
vention, besides being unnecessary, could
be injurious to our school system. The
Educational Policies Commission has Of
fered good counsel on that score.

Georqe B. Parker

American journalism is the better for
having felt the influence of George B.
Parker. AS reporter editorial writer and,
finally, editor in chief of the Scripps-
Howard Newspapers, "Deac" Parker, as
he was affectionately known to his friends,
regarded the press as public trust. AS
such he was a stickler for truth and
objectivity in reporting the news, an
attribute which won him the respect Of
his colleagues and of the newspaper
reading public.
His fact-findng disposition stood him in
good stead when he forsook reporting for
editorial writing. His editorials reflected
his determination to seek the truth or
falsity of statement, the soundness or
fallacy of a policy, the motives-good or
bad-underlying an official action. It was
because of these outstanding qualities that
his editorials won him the 1885 Pulitzer
Prize for excellence. The following year
he added to his prestige by writing a
notable series of editorials attacking
President Roosevelt's court packing" plan,
a campaign which played definite part
in arousing public opinion to the dangers
implicit in the Supreme Court proposal.
He was just as vigorous in criticizing or
praising other acts or programs of Gov
ernment officials or private interests, after
weighing all sides of every question or
situation.
His death at sixty three is a personal
misfortune for all who were privileged
to know him and a real loss to journalism
