The Nays top officials denied

claring that the story had mo

there's nothing whatever to the
reports"
Admiral Forrest Sherman. Chief
of Naval Operations. said this
story is completely without foun-
dation."
Last year Defense Secretary
johnson abruptly ordered a halt
in construction of q 65.900- ton
hush-deck carrier after the keel
had been laid.
Carrier Issue Stirred Protests.
Mr.. Johnson's action in ordering
work stopped on the 6S,000-ton

storm Of protest among Navy off,
cials. Secretary of the Navy John
L. Sullivan quit his job with a de-
nunciation of Mr.. johnson.
The carrier issue later played q
major role in the sharp attack
launched against Pentagon poll

field. Chief of Naval Operations,
was ousted following his partici-
patton in the affair.
Admiral Sherman, who sue
ceeded Admiral Denfeld, told
lawmakers earlier this year that
eventually flush-deck carrier
would be needed to accommodate
large planes. Existing carriers
have an island" superstructure
rising on one side of the runway,
limiting the size Of the aircraft
which can operate on the deck.
Navy Modernixation Fund Voted
The Baltimore Sun said last
night that "the Navy has been en-
couraged to seek two Of the rev.

economies in other naval projects. +"
1t said one might be new and an
other created from an existing
vessel.
Along somewhat similar lines,
the Senate Armed Services Com

Already passed by the House, the
measure would permit construc-
ton of $4,000 tons of new ships

ECONOMY:
Profits and Prices

AS the Korean war roared int
its fourth week much of the new
was being made on the home from
in the form of profits and prices.
Government agencies announced
after-tax profits of American manu-
featuring firms as a whole were
nearly five percent higher in the
first quarter of 1850 than in the
fourth quarter of 1949.
At the same time the prices OF
foods, especially meat and coffee,
took an upward swing that made
many consumers catch their
breaths.
At least n congressman, Rep
resentative Klein of New York, de-
manded an investigation of high
living costs and pr~ofiteering. He
went so far as to charge bakers
and diaries with soaking the %
ume without conscience"
Meat prices are threatening to
turn this country into a nation of
v~egetarians and ruin the cattle
raising states" he said.
Also on the economic front, the
Federal Reserve Board said pre-
liminary figures show that indus
trial production reached a new
postwar peak in June.
Production was estimated at about
one percent higher than the pre-
vious postwar peak of October-No-
vember, 1948, and II percent above
the level of June, 1949.
Some highlights on the net pro-
fits report:
l. After-tax profits were $780,
600, 900 higher in first-quarter 1850
than the preceding quarter, but
unchanged from the 1949 first-quar-
ter mark of 2 400, 900, 900.
2. The rate of return on stock
holders equity was IL percent in
first-quarter 1850 against 11.6 in
last years fourth quarter and 1873
in its first-quarter.
8. Dividend payments to stock
holders totaled 81, 600, 900, 900 against
ZOO, 900, 600 in last years fourth

No One Flunks

A new trend in education-100
percent promotion of pupils in the
lower grades-is reported by edu-
Gators.
Educators won't come right out
and say no one flunks any more
in the lower grades on the ground
that some elementary pupils still
need the threat of failing to spur
them on, but it's true that fewer
r flunking.
The new trend seems to be based
on four points:
l. Little is learned by repeat
ing.
2. Failure merely discourages and
does not aid pupils.
8. There is no reliable way Of
determining failures.
4. Real failures cannot do the
work, no matter how often they re-
peat.
This is a long jump from the days
of reading, writing and arithmetic
and the rule of the hickory stick.
The educators sum up their re-
port:
"Nonpromotion is an admission
of an inadequate school program
and has no place in a school where
children are motivated properly and
work to the level of their capaci-
ties.
What is looked on as a pupil
failure may be a teacher, super
visor, or administrator failure"

Truman Jokes About Tour,
When Mr.. Truman jokingly re-
ferred to the possible spring
speaking trip as non-political, re-
porters asked how to tell the diff.
ference between one of his politi-
cal and one Of his non-politica,
speeches.
He said that they would have tc
decide for themselves. In one
sense, he said, every speech he
makes is political, but he said his
foreign policy speech at Alexan-
dria Wednesday was bipartisan
for the whole country and not TO,
any political party.
Mr.. Truman took occasion to
describe a statement by Senator
Byrd, Democrat, Of Virginia de-
scribing him as a stumbling block
to a balanced budget, as purely
political.
Defines Politician.
About then the President gave
his definition of a politician as q
man who understands Govern
ment.
If he does all right, Mr.. Truman
continued. this politician may
wind up being called statesman
like. And then he expressed the
view that people are apt to regard
man who shares their views as
statesmanlike and one who op-
poses them as one who indulges
in low politics.
The President said he was
against the one-party system
when a reporter brought that up

are four parties in this country
