Schools Teaching
3 Rs Better Than
Ever, NEA Reports

The schools Of the United States
are teaching the three Rs
the foundations Of school studies
better than ever before. the Ma
tional Education Association re-
ported today.
The statement was contained in
the MEAS fourth annual report Of
the teaching profession released
today.
DR.. Willard z. Givens. executive
secretary of NEA, said: The report
SIS an answer to critics who assert
that the modern school Is getting
away from such essential learn
ings as reading, writing and arith-
metic."
This progress In actual teaching
was attained In spite Of the "in-'
creasing crisis" in education, DR..
Givens said. Lack of money in
communities throughout the Ma
ton with which to build new
schools, lack of qualified teachers
and. increasing enrollments all
have combined to make the crisis
worse this year. he said.
DR.. Giyens said the time spent
in today's school on the three RS
is more than four times what 1t
was 100 years ago. Children read
more books, he continued. and they
read more rapidly, with greater
understanding.
Far from being neglected, his
tory is the backbone Of the social
studies, he declared. American
history especially is emphasized in
the Nations schools.
Other school studies discussed in
the report include health educa-
ton, safety and conservation, SCI
ence and mathematics, vocational
education, international under
standing, moral and spiritual val
ues, music and the visual arts.
1--WE are not doing the education
Job as well as we would like to-"
DR.. Givens summed up. But we
are doing 1t better than ever be-
fore"

at MT. Byrnes just week or so before he resigned, and that Byrn- es' resignation, which he himself had planned for. some time, had been hastened by that irritation.
 MT. Byrnes has now written me that the latter part of this column was incorrect and that MT Truman was not irked I regret this error, and am glad to make the correc- ton.
 I should like further to repeat what I have written before, that in my opinion Jimmie Byrnes resigned just when he was striking his real stride at a great Secretary of State.
 I have always felt that the coun- try would have been much better off if he had continued in office: for General Marshall, fine and sin cere as he was, had to unlearn the military habits of lifetime which was not easy. Thus for a year or more the nation marked time when it should have been marching forward on the road to peace

 In the meantime, he has authored several books
 He is the founder of the Hoover Library on War Revolution and Peace at Stanford University
 Because his friends know the library that IS dolng important work the problems of peace IS close to his heart, they turned tables on him and raised ap- proximately $l00000 to present to him for the prary his birthday year ago. This year 1t IS expected that larger fund will be presented to nm TOT support of the library.
 Because think he deserves credit for an excel lent idea thank Palmer Hoyt editor and publisher of The Denver Post for passing the idea of Herbert Hoover Day to other newspapers.
 The Empire deems it a privilege to join the press throughout the country in wishing you we'll MT. Hoover this your birthday and in recognizing your contributions toward making this better world.

Government Payrolls
Fairbanks News-Miner)

Fairbanks News -Mner) Reports of the Hoover Commission, and other in formation made public recently have given the public more statistics on Federal payro than have been available in the past.
 The Hoover Commission, for instance, reported that salaries of Federal employees total S56ooOooOoo A year, as much as the whole budget of the Federal Government just few years before World War II This was the first time that all salaries had been otaled separately from other governmental expenses and pubished as unit It should open the eyes of taxpavers to the mushroom growth of the Federal bureaucracy in recent years Simultaneously it was learned from the Bureau of the Budget that extension of social security as recommended by President Truman, would add l5,ooo to OOO Federal obhoiders to the payros The Pres- dents medical insurance plan would add 350o0 to 4o- 900 more, it is estimated.
 The number of those the Federal payroll in creased from 983 900 approximately in January, 1948 to 2380OO0 last December And that in a year when President Truman assuring the nation that he attempting to reduce the cost of government wherever possible and give the people economical ad minisration.
 In his economic report to the nation the President served notice that his administration has embarked on new course of deficit financing in period of declining prosperity The plan to add 5O,o00 to 55,- 900 new employees to the Federal payroll to administer Mr. Truman's social security and medical insurance programs thus would add further burdens to the na- tional economy at time when normal financial pro- cedure would call for economies, not added expendi- lures.
 If the Federal payroll is to be reduced below 100000 again, the time to start is now. Congress through it's control of the strings, can start the machinery in motion and should do without further delay.

HERBERT HOOVER DAY

The Empire is glad to join the move of the press throughout the country to name today, August 10 Herbert Hoover Day this the occasion of MT Hoover's seventy-fifth birthday.
 If for no other reason than the recent report to MT Truman of the Hoover commission would be happy to join the country in commenting our only living ex-president for work well done.
 The Hoover commissions study of government made at President Truman's request, has become recognized throughout the country the only possible solution to the problems of too-big government and our over- -burdened taxpayers.
 And his services humanitarian should be suf- ficent reason to recognize his greatness.
 For more than thirty years he has devoted himself to official and extra official agencies of humanar ian nature During both world he undertook the tremendous task of feeding starving people in all parts of the world.
 During the first world war he was chairman ot the American Relief Committee in London, of the Belgian Relief Committee and was national food admin istrator
 Such jobs continued. Apparently, whenever an able executive was needed for drive of national or world importance Herbert Hoover would give his time and abilities whether for the Finnish relief fund a Mississippi flood relief committee Greek war re- lief campaign.

WILL TOM CLARK BE LIBERAL?

Some Republican Senators, plus certain newspapers, have been pam ming Tom Clark, the Attorney General They claim he is poli- tician, hack lawyer and no addi- tion to the Supreme Court.
 l I think they're wrong. Tom | Clark has his faults, and some l eccentricities. He looks like a politician, he. talks like a politician but when the chips are down he's tough, go-through fighter, with pretty consistent record of bat ting for the little guy.
 When Tom first became Attorney General, critics said he wouldn't have the nerve to go after the ' big monopolies. Thurman Arn- old's trust-busting. they said, would come to a dead halt. But Tom fooled 'em He has brought twice as many antitrust cases as any other Attorney General-including the case to break up the Du Pont empire, one of the toughest ever to come out of the Justice Depart ment.
 When Tom Clark was a student at the University of Texas he roomed with Jewish boy. And because his roommate wasn't in vited to join fraternity, Tom also refused to join a fraternity, and l did not do so until after his room- mate had finished college and could not be embarrassed.
 And when Tom Clark helped or
 ganize the Federal Bar Association he shocked some of his colleagues !, by demanding that Negro attorneys ], be admitted to membership. Tom has been under fire oi criticism from his old friends ir } Texas for championing civil liber- } ties. But he has never flinched- ) either as an enforcement officer l or as an educator for civil liberties
 His freedom train, bringing the De-
 claration of Independence and oth-
 CT priceless papers to the Ameri- l can people, will go down in history . as one of the most constructive ! moves ever made to educate tht nation on civil liberties.
 And few people will ever know

KEEPING SCORE ON TRUMAN

Before l close the seasons score, however, there are couple of points I would like to get straight. If anything should happen to me l would not want the wrong im- pression to prevail about certain people
 For instance. I have been pretty rough on some of the White House hangers-on who influence President Truman. But while I deplure the choice of these White House cron- ies, l continue to applaud most of Truman's legislative program.
 The President is sincere, honest. diligent. sometimes yindictive, ire quently impulsive, and not always efficient. But his history will show that 90 per cent of the time he has been fighting for the little fellow-and that's a lot more than can be said of some Presidents.
 The great tragedy is that nc harms his own program and the common folks he is trying to helr by his stubborn loyalty to certain cronies.

and voted for the Sims bill, which was equivalent to the existing Taft Hartley bill.
 "The United Mine Workers of America stand for the outright repeal of the Taft-Hartley law as pledged in the Democratic platform and you were elected with that un- derstanding . .. The joke is that John L. is just little late in announcing his ad- vocacy of the Democratic platform. He bitterly attacked President Tru- man and the Democratic platform in attempting to swing mine votes to Dewey. Now, apparently, he's for it.

JOHN L. LEWIS DICTATES


 Not content with ruling the United Mine Workers like dicta- tor, John L. Lewis now is cracking down on members of Congress who don't obey his orders.
 Old Eyebrows" has decreed that freshman Representative Anthony Savalcante of Pennsylvania, one of the staunchest friends of labor in Congress, must be defeated because he defied Lewis order to vote against the Sims substitute labor bill during the ill-fated fight to repeal the Taft-Hartley law.
 Like many of his colleagues, Cav alcante supported the Sims com promise which was indorsed by Democratic leaders-rather than accept complete defeat of the Taft Hartley repeal bill. Also, he didn't want the highly reactionary Wood substitute to pass instead.
 As it happened, both the Sims and Wood substitutes were voted down, but Lewis was so incensed by Cavalcante's independent stand that he ordered his Pennsylvania neut- , enants to send the Congressman a hot wire virtually firing him from his House seat before the vot- CTS themselves can pass on Caval- cante's qualifications in the 195( election.
 The telegram stated: "Labor's {, non-partisan league Ga UHW wing , advised you by wire to oppose this i bill You disregarded their advice
