A Teachers Life Is Not q Happy One
To the Editor of The Stor:

G o THERE'S shortage OF elemen-
~ tary school teachers in Prince
Georges County, To me it is little
wonder. One explanation given for this
condition is that many have gone into
the armed services. Could it be that
they would rather face fire in Korea
than put up with the confused condi-
tions under which they were teaching?
A Nationwide teacher shortage does
exist, but to citizens of any locale, such
problems primarily are home problems,
belonging to the immediate vicinity.
The low salary scale is regarded as an
other discouraging element. This could
be, but I rather think there are more
plausible explanations.
Teachers are really human. Like in
dividuals in any walk of life, they want
the feeling that they are respected and
are accomplishing something. A teacher
questions how much she is accomplish
ing when she seats over 40 children
elbow to elbow in a room originally
intended for 25. The procedures she
must use were also meant for the origi-
nal Is.
These children, according to modern
methods of grouping might range In
ability from pre-kindergarten to high
school level With Is children, she might
hope to contact personally each and
consider his special needs. One teacher
cannot possibly do justice to the num-
ber she is handling now. She must have
plans in several studies to keep two or
three groups busy at their seats while
she works with another.
You can't fool those kids! They know
you haven't time to carefully check each
ones work. Therefore, they learn to
get by, at an early age, with as little
effort as possible.
Most teachers understand the problem
of over-crowded conditions and are will
ing to make the best of it until 1t is
possible to relieve the situation. How
ever, it Is difficult for them to UNDER
stand why numerous other duties, only
remotely related to their position as
teachers of children, are piled on their
already over-burdened shoulders. I
refer to clerical jobs which are passed
on to the teachers from the office.
One of these was the recent school
census which involved outside work
on research and records. Hhe perma-
nent record of each child, also long
kept by the teacher, could do with a
bit of overhauling. An efficiency expert
could be put to good use. reorganizing.
so that the same data need not be
filed in several places in one Office.
The teacher may also question why
she is required, in the midst OF such

Carrying Limited Access Too Far

1t is true that the new George Washington
Memorial Parkway is intended to be limited
access highway, but it is certain that Arlington
County never expected the sort of limitation
which has developed with the opening of the
Spout Run link. Access to the parkway is so
limited at the Virginia end of Key Bridge that
motorists entering Rosslyn via the bridge are
barred from using the Spout Run drive. This
has been rude disappointment to Virginians
who had envisioned the boulevard as an alter
nate route to congested Lee highway for home
ward bound Key Bridge commuters.

Building Strength Slowly

Indicative of the gradual acceleration of the
Arrny's rehabilitation program is the decision to
call up $500 additional younger officers during
March. These officers-lieutenants and captains
are urgently needed for the training and
eventual leadership of new units of the expand
ing ground forces, and for replacement of COM
bat-wise officers needed for instruction of troops.
The Army now numbers approximately 13
million men. When the Korean war broke out
we had less than is million men in the Army,
Navy and Air Force combined. The new armed
manpower goal announced by the President in
his national-emergency speech of December Is
3.5 million for all three services. The Army
Is to have "a divisions by the middle of next year.
In calling individual officers selectively from
the National Guard and Organized Reserve the
Army is adhering to its policy of proceeding
cautiously in increasing its strength. General
Bradley has explained to congressional and other
critics of this make-haste- slowly policy that
growth of the armed services is controlled by
availability of training facilities. New camps are
being opened as rapidly as they can be acquired
and put in shape, but this takes time
Less easy to explain is the apparent re-
luctance of the Defense Department to call more
National Guard units to Federal duty, pending
the organizing and training of new regular divi-
sions. BY reaching into the officer ranks of the
Guard for junior officers the Army is impairing
the efficiency of the militia units at time when
they should be kept ready for immediate service.
So far only four Guard divisions and two regi-
mental combat teams have been federalized, de-
spite the reverses in Korea, the weakness of our
continental force (down to one ready-to-go COM
bat division, the 82d Airborne) and the need
for divisions in Western Europe. Two
Guard divisions are to be activated next month
Although the Guard divisions theoretically are
ready for duty, actually it takes several months
of special training to prepare these troops for
combat service If the national emergency is
as serious as the presidential proclamation as
serted, the National Guard is logical source
of organized manpower. The Guard was equipped
and trained for just such emergencies. Once
the Guard has filled the breach, the orderly
raising and training of a drafted Army could
proceed according to long-range plans.

To LegoIize Wire Tap Evidence

Although its sponsors assert that the pend
ing bill to control overlapping in Washington
would permit use of wire-tap evidence in court,
the fact is that the amended bill does not
specifically authorize such use. Since introduc-
ton in court of evidence obtained by tapping
communications has been definitely ruled out
by the Supreme Court under the Federal Com
munications Act there is need for Congress to
spell out a positive grant of such authority to
law enforcement agencies.
The Neely-Darby bill, as amended by sub
committee of the House District Committee,
would outlaw all wire tapping in the District
except that done by District or Federal officers
in compliance with an order or warrant of
District Court. That is step in the right direc-
ton. But the bill speaks only of interception
of messages by laW-enforcement officers. The
subcommittee in its report, said the measure
makes it clear that divugence or any use of
any information so obtained (by tapping wires)
Is not an element of the crime and thereby
corrects existing law" It would have been
clearer, however, to have written this authority
into the bill in so many words, in view of the
fact that the FEC statute bars "divulgence" of
information obtained by overlapping. The
courts have held that "divugence" includes use
of intercepted messages in criminal prose-
cution.
Representative Keating, Republican, of New
York, has introduced bill which would abolish
the absurd restriction on use of wire-tap EVIL
dence in cases involving the national security
This measure would legalize wre-tapping and,
of equal Importance, evidence derived from wire
tapping, where there is "due cause" to suspect
enemy espionage. Permission first would have
to be secured from a Federal judge.
The two bills cover different fields and both
have worthwhile objectives. The local bill is
designed to ban indiscriminate wire-tapping in
the District while the national measure would
authorize overlapping anywhere in national
security cases. The local bill should be amended
however, to leave no doubt as to the right of
District police and other law-enforcement
officers to "divulge" intercepted communications
in court. And it would be advisable to amend
the Heating bill to include kidnapping and other
crimes involving human life.

Is reminded by those same parents that

hasn't a chance. Very few teachers
want to control by force. But what kind
of psychology is parent using when,
perhaps unknoWingly, he puts the idea
in the mind of the child that the child
is free to see how much he can get
away with cause teacher can't do
nothin anyhow?
If the conscientious Prince Georges
County citizen would investigate the
conditions under which many of the
teachers are working, he would discover
that the reason for the shortage of
elementary teachers in Prince Georges
County does not lie wholly in losses to
the armed forces or dissatisfaction with
the salary scale.
Look into the organization of your
school system. You may find that the
average teacher is SO confused by in
efficiency In administration, so humili-
ated by lack of trust placed in her abili-
ties and intentions, and so begged down
with chores which force actual teach
ing into the background, that teaching
in Prince Georges County has become
not challenge and an inspiration, but
a futile, thankless way to keep a pay
check coming in. A good teacher must
have more than this.
Can there be hope for improvement
by the new administration?
