has assured President Dutra that the
United States will make a special effort TO
meet the Brazilian need for trained tech
nicians and specialists. He has also
assured him that most attentive con-
sideration" will be accorded Brazilian re-
quests for help from the World Bank and
the Export-Import Bank in financing
long-range projects designed to develop
the countryfs untapped natural resources.
Brazil has immense potentialities in that
respect Though they are not likely to
be realized In full for long time to come.
President Dutra's visit undoubtedly has
helped to speed up action on them. Beyond
that. in a less tangible but not less i'm
portant sense, 1t has further enriched the
Good Neighbor policy, which needs con-
slant nurturing.

A Productive Visit

Though brief, the visit here Of President
Dutra Of Brazil has ended on note Of
accomplishment promising to benefit both
his own country and ours. Besides helping
to strengthen the traditional friendship
between the Brazilian people and the peo-
pie Of the United States, the visit has been
especially productive in the iield OF eco
nomic cooperation.
Thus, . decision has been reached to
hold talks on convention to avoid double
taxation between the two countries. In
addition, it has been agreed to begin i'm
mediately to negotiate treaty to stimulate
the now of private American investment
In Brazil, and arrangements have been
completed for technical discussions later
this year to put into effect recommenda-
lions already made for speeding up the
eountry's economic development.

The agenda Of the conference includes

Berlin. A lifting OF the blockade OF that

Beyond those immediate exigencies stretch
a series Of problems, such as German eco

future German aggression.
All this indicates the scope OF the

upon Moscow. The proposals advanced by

Poris Test Over Germany

Whatever its outcome, the big Four"
session which began yesterday in Paris
is q momentous event. It marks the first
occasion that the Council of Foreign
Ministers has been able to find ground
for discussion since the rupture of nego-
tiations in London at the close of 1s47.
Since then, the cold war" has inhibited
any common ground for meeting of the
not on Germany, which Is the crux OF
their differences over Europe. .
That the four great powers are again
able to sit down together around the con-
ference table is, in itself, a hopeful portent.
It indicates at least the possibility for
constructive meeting Of minds over Ger
many, the prime object of the conference,
and perhaps more besides. Yet wiShful
thinking at this juncture would be Singu-
larly out Of place. Moscow's diplomatic
record is not one to inspire confidence,
nor Is there any concrete evidence Of q
change In basic policy on which alone
could be based genuine and enduring
agreement.
One thing Is certain: The current ses-

Fair PIoy for Teachers

The bill approved by a House District
Subcommittee to provide paid sick leave
for teachers in the District public schools
would correct an injustice that long has
been q source of discomfort in the school
system. Under traditional policy, teachers
who are taken i'll must hire substitutes
and pay them out of their own wages.
This arrangement puts so heavy . penalty
on sickness that teachers often prefer to
stay on the job when they are suffering
from ailments that would put any other
public employees to bed.
The measure now before the House
District Committee was the subject OF long
hearings before the subcommittee. 1t was
Endorsed by the District Commissioners,
the Board of Education and numerous
teachers organizations. Under its pro-
visions, teachers hereafter would be en-
titled to take ten days sick leave each
year with full pay. Unused leave would
be cumulative up to sixty days. In addi-
ton, one days leave would be credited for
each year of service, up to q maximum
credit OF twenty days.
Passage of this legislation would do much
to improve the morale Of public school
teachers. Superintendent of Schools Corn
ing believes that this improvement in
morale would be of aid in the difficult
task of recruiting new teachers. And 1t
would help to dissuade teachers already
in the system from looking around for
other jobs. The leave bill Is as worthy
of passage as the bill to give teachers
the $3.50 pay raise granted last year to
Federal workers Both measures are es-
sential to the welfare of the schools.

How His ORGANIZATION Differs from ave
To the Editor OF The STAR
This letter Is prompted by the failure Of
some newspapers-but not necessarily yours
to help clear away the widespread public
confusion over the separate identities Of
the two co-existing World War II veterans
organizations.
There Is abundant evidence that the pub
Lie generally and even some newspapers con-
sistently tumble the names Of the two groups
and that many persons are unaware Of their
duality.
Here are the facts:
There are two distinct examinations
the AMvETS american Veterans Of World
War I'd and the ave tAmerican Veterans
Committed.
AMvETS Is the older. It also Is the only
one chartered by Congress. II was formally
organised ut Kansas City. No. in December.
1874 It Is substantially the larger with
10000 paid-up members In 1.4oo posts In
the 20 States and the District Of Columbia.
AMVETS was incorporated by Congress
when President Truman signed its charter
