and escaped from the Indiana
penitentiary while serving time
for that offense. He later was i'm

SAR Says II Seeks
Only 10 Help NEA
|0ust Subversives
by the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, July Ill
President General Wallace c. Hall
of the Sons Of the American Revo-
luton says his organization is
helping the Nations educators to-
free the National Education Asso-
citation Of subversives.
Mr.. Hall of Detroit, made the
statement to the SAR convention
after urging the 400 delegates to
approve resolution informing
American teachers that the SAR
is not fighting them.
That resolution is expected to be
acted upon at today's final session.
The resolution was drafted after
one delegate said the NEA accused
the SAR Of being unfriendly to
Educators.
Calls Statement Incorrect.
Local educators, however, said
the statement was incorrect. At
its national convention here last
week, the NEA named several or-i
Examinations which it said are con-
lducting a smear campaign against
public schools. The SAR was not
lamong them.
The NEA did say the SAR's
california branch was "misled" in
experimenting a campaign for in
vestigation of school text books.
The SAR delegates were told the
public schools are being used to
Head the Nation into a social well
flare type state.
Naming the National Education
Association, a report by the SAR's
Americanization Committee de-
lclared:
Progressive education and radi-
lcal teaching are responsible for
many of the present threats to
constitutional government.
Would Accept Challenge.
g.. Present leaders in control
LOT certain educational associations
Ihave decided to use vilification and
character attack to head off an
investigation.
Unless we proposed to submit
Ito these tactics, we must accept
this challenge. The way to remedy
this condition is to expose and in
vestigate the vilifiers."
Mr.. Hall said the organization
has no complaint against teachers
as the whole.
'We believe 80 per cent of them
lare loyal Americans" he said.
But at least per cent of them
Iare radical and at least somewhat
lRed. And the other five per cent
don't know what they stand for"

if they desire to stop fighting
your troops. I don't think there
is any problem about dealing with
them.
Senator Smith-Do you see any
distinction between a cease-fire
Iarmistice arrangement and the
terms that that might call for,
and the ultimate settlement of the
Korean problem in getting at a
more definitive peace?
Mr.. Acheson-Oh, yes, I very
clearly see difference. There
would be various stages in this if
1t were possible to do it. A cease
fire is merely the technical ar
rangements which are made to
stop the shooting.
Those were worked out and
have been worked out by our
Joint Chiefs of Staff and the U. N.
people understand what they are.
That merely stops the actual
fighting.
What that should be a part of
is the next stage. which would
be the negotiations of a settlement
IL Korea, which would lead to a
real stabilization of the problem
and the removal of the troops on
both sides,

Military Aims
OF II. N. in Korea

Senator Smith.-You think thai
If we stopped them at the 38tE
and pushed them back to where
they began; and if we restored
peace and security in South Korea
that is all we are expected to dc
in order to assert the prestige OF
the United Nations?
Mr.. Acheson.-That is the mill
tary objective of the United Ma
tions, as laid down by the United
Nations itself.
There is also the political OBJ
jective of the United Nations
which is creating a free, inde-
pendent and democratic Korea
and the United Nations will con-
tinue to do that, and I hope il
will be able to do that. 3s4"
Senator Smith.-But you don't
suggest, do you, that by force o1
arms. we stop the fighting at the
38th. and the rest Of twill &C
on, back and forth, with Russia
and the Communists and every
body else that we had before?
Mr.. Acheson.-Well, I think thai
what you are referring to, Sena-
tor, are the inherent difficulties
|of the situation; but those diff
Iculties existed before the United
Nations acted, and we hope they
may be less after it is successful
in obtaining its objectives.
Am correct In my understand
ing that at the very time thai
Gen. Macarthur issued what has
come to be referred to as this ulti-
|matum of terms of surrender tt

think I am competent to say just
exactly what the issues are In this
investigation.
Senator Wiley-In your opin-
ion should the Government or the
President in a case like this, when
he has exposed part of his hand
with the facts, be obliged to ex-
pose all?
President Sole Judge.
Secretary Acheson-No, sir,
think the President is the sole
judge of what he should disclose
in regard to confidential private
discussions with his own cabinet
Senator Wiley-It is undebat-
able, isn't it, the Congress could
authorize suits against executive
agencies and subpoenas could be
issued to compel documents ano
testimony, is that correct?
Secretary Acheson-I think the
Congress has authorized suits
against executive agencies.

Huniun Crisis
May Bring War

Senator Saltonstall-It would
be a fair statement that we are
doing automatically, as now evil
denced by President Truman'S S
letter, trying to work out the sit
uation in Iran and not let steps
be taken there that, we believe,
would lead to general war, is
that a proper statement?
Mr.. Acheson-We believe that
the situation in Iran is one of the
greatest possible seriousness, and
might easily deteriorate into a
situation out Of which war could
grow.
We also believe that the basic
interests of both the Iranian
people and the British people are
really quite compatible here and
can be worked out. =. What we
are trying to do is to be as help
full as we possibly can to both
governments, because we are loyal
and staunch friends of both par
ties, and hope they can work out
solution which will reflect the
interests of both people.

The Senator had complained,
and Mr.. Acheson had denied, that

before we will understand you.''
Later, when the Secretary HIM
self asked Senator Brewster tc

that Il am glad that you are

Government. Now few of them
are left and among even those the
is general that despite
his brilliance as maker of policy
he sadly lacks ability or interest
In putting his policies across, to
Congress and the country.
AS soon as Fridays hearing
opened Mr.. Acheson found him
self in trouble. Before he could
make any general statement the
committee wrangled for three
hours and Is minutes over whether
to release, against Mr.. Acheson's
objections, an 18-months-old
secret propaganda paper on the
possible fall of Formosa.
Mr. Acheson was overruled. It
was score for his opponents and
some of his advisers felt that the
tactic of resisting committee re-
lease of the document had been
a bad one.
Mr.. Acheson's formal policy
statement, on the other hand, was
generally regarded by observers
following the hearings in detail
as a strong presentation of his
and the administrations middle
OF the road policy-building
strength to block Communist
conquest yet avoiding measures
which would dangerously risk set
ting off World War III.
