DR.. Dawson pointed out that

as 1881 were enrolled at WASH

respects the colored children en-

School Discrimination

NEA Official Testifies

An official Of the National

today that study convinced him
that there Is no evidence of in

Board to discriminate against
Negro pupils in educational op-

DR.. Howard A. Dawson, director
OF rural service for the NEA,
made the statement as a witness
in a case being tried in Federal
Court, Alexandria. He is one of
the principal witnesses called in
defense of the School Board.
The suit was brought in the
name of Constance Carter, II, COL

education the equivalent of that
offered at Washington-Lee High
School.

that while courses and physical

same.
Most Of his testimony was pro-
duced during a prolonged cross
examination by Martin A. Mar

that DR.. Dawson was "biased or

National Guard
BY the Associotsd Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. "a.
Maj. Gen. Ellard A. Walsh ac-
cused the Air Force Of trying to
wreck the National Guard, but he
declared the Guard is here to
stay.
The president of National Guard
Association voiced his complaint
both in an interview and in a re-
port delivered at the opening ses-
sion of the associations annual
convention.
'"The National Guard has no in
tention of being read out of the
party to which it has belonged to
these many years and to which it
has contributed to much" Gen.
Walsh's report said. 1.-THE National
Guard was here first and here we
intend to stay"
Attacks Gen. Quesada.
He said the Air Force for some
time has carried on a campaign
to replace the Guard with pure
| ly air reserve force" and he lab
eled 1t. Gen. Elwood Quesada as
the shining light" in that move.
Gen. Quesada is chairman of the
Joint Technical Planning Commit
tee in the Defense Department.
Gen. Walsh added, however,
that Guard leaders "have never
been quite certain whether Gen.
Quesada was the motivating force
behind the Federalizing of the Air
National Guard or merely reflected
the views of his immediate su-
periors."
In an earlier interview with the
Montgomery Advertiser, he men,
toned Gen. Quesada, Air Secre-
tary Symington and Gen. Hoyt S.
Vandenberg, Air Force chief of
staff, as those who don't want
any National Guard. period"
Calls LIBERALIZATION Lunatic.'
Gen. Walsh, whose home is in
Minneapolis, also called attempts
to Federalize the Guard "impracti-
cal, dangerous and lunatic."
Gen. Walsh was backed in his
attack on liberalization by Maj
Gen. James S. Saliba, adjutant
general of Alabama.
"The Air Force prefers the Or
ganized Air Reserve, which they
can CONTROL" Gen. Saliba said. IF
the Air Force could remove the
present National Guard officers
and substitute its own, then it
would like the National Guard"

that we snap out of this delusion,

and good will in our hearts, we
will continue working against all
obstacles to widen the area of

Mr.. Truman also stressed the
Importance of the work of the

emphasizing that "the attainment
of basic civil and political rights
for men and women everywhere
without regard to race. language
or religion is essential to the

1.-The compact that underlies the

the world organization, and the
adoption of the Constitution and
setting up Of the United States
Government through toll and

30.MiIIion Fund Voted
To Start Secret Tests
Of Fantastic Weapons
By the Associated Press

Amid hush-hush secrecy, Con-
gress has approved $30,000,0 900
start on a program to test fan
tastic weapons for future warfare
The funds as well as a separate
compromise measure authorizing
them were pushed through both
the Senate and House last week
with almost no discussion or de-
bate.
They await expected presiden-
tial approval and would start a
program of building wind tunnels
to test:
/. Models for guided missiles
which experts hope to be able to
send from this to other CONT
nents, possibly armed with atomic
Warheads.
2. Aircraft able to carry atomic
bombs while travelling at and
above the speed of sound and
capable of defense against similar
enemy aircraft.
Red A-Blast Sped Funds.
These details are available from
earlier congressional attempts to
push through the so-called wind
tunnel bill. authorizing funds to
build new Laboratories for testing
death h-dealing weapons of the fu-
ture.
These attempts begged down
but both the authorization and
actual funds sped through the
final days of the session. That
was after President Truman an
nounced that Russia had staged
an atomic explosion.
Originally the Senate passed an
authorization for spending $311,-
100000 on the wind tunnels but
the compromise with the House
cut this to 1882 100000.
About $10O,000,O0O would be
used to build huge wind tunnels
at an Air Force engineering CEN
ter, the site for which has not
been announced.
13 Universities to Share.
The rest would go to improving
a number of existing wind testing
centers, as well as constructing
small wind tunnels at 13 univer-
sites able to carry on the expert
mentS.
Congress voted $6,O0O,OOO cash
and another $24,000,0OO contract
authority for an immediate start
on the program in the final catch
all supplemental appropriation
bill.
Chairman Tydings of the Senate
Armed Services Committee earlier
this year said, 1T may be neces-
sary to develop wind currents up
to 5000 and 1000 miles an hour
lin the test tunnels, because the
guided missiles of the future
which might leave this continent
and go to another would travel at
a rate of speed which battles our
imagination"

in the search for universal ac-
cord" Mayor ODwyer said the
difference among nations and
races are more superficial than
real" and can be resolved "by dis

Gov. Dewey said "The power of

fortunately, to a large extent on

II hope in time it will have arms
and power to enforce its deci-
sions," he added. There are
many weary miles and millions of
weary hours Of drudgery ahead.

through perilous tests, the United
Nations has weathered every
storm. It is stronger today than
ever before"
The President took a new tack
in today's speech. Customarily
there is blunt language for Russia
in any foreign policy discussion
Today, there were no recrimina-
tions. although there were cou-
pie of thinly yelled references to
the role the Soviet has adopted.
No Nation Always Right.
In outlining the problems the
world faces. Mr.. Truman stressed
that mo single nation can always
have its own way, for these are
human problems. and the solution
of human problems is to be found
in negotiations and mutual ad-
justment.
Again he warned:
1.-THE real dangers confronting
us today have their origins in out
moded habits of thought, in the
inertia Of human nature and in
preoccupation with supposed ma
tional interests to the detriment
of the common good"
"As members of the United
Nations, we are convinced that
patience, the spirit Of reasonable
ness and hard work will solve
the most stubborn political prob
lens. We are convinced that
individual rights and social and
economic progress can be ad-
vanced through international CO.
operation"
No Reference to Deadlock.
In urging again that interna-
tional controls be invoked for
atomic energy, the President
spoke of this as a problem Of
major concern to the United
Nations"
He made no reference either to
the long East West deadlock on
this issue. nor to the recent dis
closure of important atomic de-
velopments in the Soviet Union.
Emphasizing that this country
had aimed continually at a policy
that would ban atomic weapons
and turn atomic energy to peace
full purposes, Mr.. Truman outlined
the background of efforts to de-
velop controls in line with the
recommendations of the U. N
Commission on Atomic Energy,
which Russia spurned.
1--WE suportp this plan and will
continue to support it unless and
until a better and more effective
plan is put forward" Mr.. Truman
said. ITO assure that atomic en-
ergy will be devoted to mans well
fare and not to his destruction

nations and all peoples. The

some length the point four" plan
for assisting the undeveloped re-
gions of the world, explaining
that efforts already are being di-
rected toward this end, and add
