II years of age all come from
homes in the one school district
There is no selection of students
and there is, of course, no tuition
The children have the same wide
range of intelligence, of home en-
vironment, of interests, of prob
lens, as any normal group OF
lively. happy youngsters.
Thus they provide natural
situation for student teachers tc
get their training under regularly
employed and experienced super
vising teachers. Such teachers
must hold not less than a masters
degree, which is not required OF
other elementary teachers in the
Districts public schools. No more
than two student teachers are as
signed to any one class.
Children are not used as guinea
pigs" for experimentation. New
ideas and methods are not tried
out on them before adoption in
other schools Of the city. Trues-
dell is set up just as other elemen-
tary schools. But the laboratory
function brings to it a group OF
future teachers who themselves
are seeking education and train
ing essential to becoming full
fiedged teachers anywhere in the
Nation. For while Truesdell Is a
regularly organized public school,
it serves as the laboratory for
teacher training of Wilson Teach
ers College.
Other Schools Differ.
Ordinarily. the college or uni
versity laboratory school, elemen-
tary and secondary, is a direct
unit of the respective institution
to which it is attached. 1t is not
an integral part of the public
school system. although co-opera-
tive plans frequently are devel-
oped. No doubt these laboratories
serve their purpose we'll, but the
children who attend them are not
the mine run from a regular
school district. They often come
largely from families of professors
and from homes with higher than
average incomes. They are a Sc
lected group of children. and their
parents must pay tuition.
Responsibility of the Truesdell
School is twofold: 1t must give to
its boys and girls their elementary
education so they will learn to
work. to play, to live together, in
their school, in their community,
in a great democracy, and in
changing world. 1t must give to

the fine essentials of good citizen

Kurdish and Armenian agents
in Soviet pay are active in Syria
Iraq and other Arab states, as
well as in Iran. Their present ac-
tivities are expected to be trans
lated into full-dedged uprisings

Meanwhile. the Chinese puppet
government, which has at it's dis
posal 100000 armed men, will
attempt to play the Russian game
in the Far East.
In some military quarters it is
believed that instead of an in
vasion of Formosa, where the
Communists might be defeated be-
cause Of their lack Of knowledge
of amphibious operations, they
will concentrate their attention on
more important targets such as
South Korea, Indo-C China, Burma
and eventually the Malay PENN
sula. In all these great areas,
well-organized guerrilla warfare
now is going on.
Received With Goodness.
The Communist foreign min
lister received the British recog-
milton with utmost GOODNESS. A
British diplomat who was rushed
to Peiping to negotiate the official
resumption of diplomatic relations
is still cooling his heels in Pei
ping. He is being treated in the
way Eastern potentates centuries
ago treated the officials of de-
feated nations.
But when the leader of the Wet
Nam Communists, who has been
trying to organize a Red regime
in Indo-China for nearly four
years, notified Chou En-lai of Red
Wet Mans recognition of the Chi
nese Communists, Chou replied
promptly that he was very hon
ored" to receive notifications of the
request for establishment of dip
lomatic relations with the Chi
nese Peoples Republic. Chou add
ed that his government recognizes
the Communist Wet Nam govern
ment as from January is and will
establish full cooperation between
the two countries.
Western diplomats consider this
exchange of notes as more than
customary politeness. It is a very
clear indication that as soon as
it is feasible Chinese Red forces
will go to the assistance of the
Wet Nam Communists and force
the French to the wall. Similar
action is expected to be taken by
the Chinese Communists in Korea
and Malaga in the course of the
year.

Administration Worried
Confused Temper of Congress Held
Threat to l.. S. Basic World Policies

Throughout the debate on the
Korean aid bill ran the cry about
pouring money down rat-holes in
Europe and Asia which was heard
from some quarters when our re-
Mobilization programs were started
soon after the war but has sub
sided since until now. -.
Mixed up in this successful
foray was clearly motive of re-
taliation by Republicans and some
Democrats against the admins
tration for it's China policy and
its refusal to take drastic measures
to save Formosa. But, whatever
the motives, the result is the same.
Also. the Republican-Southern
Democratic coalition hitherto con-
fined to domestic issues revealed
itself on the Korean vote which
is not happy sign.
Danger Intensified.
The danger on the international
front is intensified because of the
nature of the November elections.
They are congressional elections
and. in such, local issues are pre-
dominant, and spending can be
made a persuasive local issue with
out reference to broad national
policy. 1t is probable that, If a
real threat develops to our inter-
national programs during this
Congress, President Truman Ger
tainly will participate very directly
and widely in the congressional
campaign to emphasize the ma
tional character of those tests.
Hitherto the argument for active
participation was his domestic
welfare program.
The Korean incident in the
House was, for the long range,
even more meaningful than the
rules scrap. The abortive Repub-
lican-Southern Democratic coup
on the Rules Committee issue to
"set the clock back" as it was
accurately termed, was just too
raw. That it was undertaken at
all, however. shows the extent of
the bitterness against what was
called "the Truman socialization
program" and the lengths to
which the anti-administration
coalition is ready to go.
Republicans saved the day for
Sam Rayburn. Sixty-fiv of them
stood with him. Republicans from
city districts could not afford to
vote for gag technique that was
aimed, among other things, at the
F. E. P. c. bill and welfare meas
ures. It was significant that Rep
resentative Hugh Scott of Penn
sylvania, Republican, national
chairman during the 1948 cam
paign, was among these, and thus
indicated the political risk he ap-
parently sees for his party in such
adventures with the Dixiecrat ele.
ment.
But the IS Democrats who de.

job he's got in this prediction

raised doubts rhomas L. Stokes
that 1t is an always reliable ba-
rometer; for the people, when they
voted, showed that Congress did
not altogether represent them.
However that may be, the ad-
ministration already has been
plagued by two uprisings in the
House, defeat by two-vote mar
gin of the s60,oo0,oo0 Korean eco
nomic aid bill, and the attempt
Of the Republican-Southern DEM
ocratic coalition to seize power by
restoring to the Rules Committee,
which it controls, the authority
to bottle up administration bills
and prevent a vote by the House.
The latter was squelched.
Focal Issue In Revolts.
A focal issue in both of these
revolts, though others also were
involved in the Rules Committee
fight, is the spending program of
the administration, both foreign
and domestic, which is being capi-
talized obviously because a great
many members, some Democrats
and most Republicans, regard it
as dividend-paying issue among
their constituents.
It could be an incipient tax
revolt"
While it is generally believed
that no new social welfare bills
are likely to get through at this
session anywhow, aside perhaps
from expansion of social security
which is pay-as-you-go measure
and not in the spending category,
the temper displayed by the House
may seriously endanger the for
eign economic aid programs which
are the core of our foreign policy.

burn apparently is in for more

Communist Foreign Minister Chou
En-lai to Moscow where the Com

has been an honor guest at the
Kremlin for the last five weeks.
Some wishful thinkers, partic-
ularly in London, would like to
read into the visit of China's No.

that they are\ insisting on a Ger
tain degree of independence from
the orders of the Politburo. But
Americans who have had personal
contacts with both Chinese lead
ers are convinced that they are
as humble and obedient tools of
their Moscow sponsors as are
their counterparts in Bulgaria,
Romania and Hungary.
There is no Titoism in China at
present. The local uprisings now
occurring are insignificant and
are the result of hunger and op-
preston in certain sections where
former Nationalist officers have
organized loosely linked guerrilla
bands. These bands are being
quickly suppressed, however.

OF reports which are considered

Moscow intends to intensity the
cold war in Europe and in the
Near East. The French Commu-

orders from the Politburo to stage
mass movements among long
shoremen and dock workers to
prevent the handling of Amer

that Mrs. Edwards, who lost her

violently to what she considered
the blind partisanship of Glare

that she went to work at Demo-

It can also be said that Mrs.

National Collegiate Athletic As
sociation in New York City. De-
spite the water shortage, they
saw fit to wash their dirty linen.
Or. to put it better, what the
|NCAA Napoleons considered dirty
linen.
With the world in the condi-
ton it is, all these past tense
athletes had to do was almost
come to blows over what they
term their Sanity Code. I won't
tell you in detail what the Sanity
Code is, because to do that a
man would have to become a child
again. and when I start playing
with blocks the last one to know
about it will be my readers.
But. roughly speaking, the San
ity Code says how much q COL
lege can pay an athlete, how
much food a college can give
him for free. how nice a college
can be to an athlete when he
is quit with high school and look
ing for place to use his muscle
and speed and coordination, and
at the same time acquire a little

twinge Of conscience heard round
