'Subversive' Textbooks
fSee EDITORIAL Judging
001tha,erSi1,o0 Terthonko


The school controversy questioning
the value of Superintendent Corning as
a worthwhile administrator is of par
ticular interest to Washingtonians, but
is also of genuine concern to all other
American taxpayers whose taxes help to
support the Capitol Page School. Thus
the estimable Robert Donner, Of Colo
RADIO Springs, Colorado, was well within
his rights and in order when he recently
wired Washington regarding DR.. Corn
ings unsavory past record as school ad-
ministrator both at Colorado Springs
and Omaha, Nebraska.
The Capitol Page School is under
direct supervision of DR.. Corning. just
as are all District public schools. What
ever pressure this Superintendent may
bring to bear toward keeping subversive
and un-American textbooks in use in
Washington public schools would. of
course. be extended to the Capitol Page
School. Thus we find Capitol pages
using the un- American textbook entitled
American Government" by Magruder-
book that has been absolutely barred
from all public schools in the State of
Georgia. This is only one instance of
subversive and un-American textbook
being directly and forcefully approved
and promoted.
1t may be recalled that in l947, during
the 80th Congress, DR.. Corning was
called before the House District Commit
tee to explain how it happened that
Russian woman was permitted to make
an outright Communist propaganda
talk at the Western High School, and
also to explain why he was permitting
the continued use of the Harold Rugg
textbooks. A weak and vague excuse and
apology was the best DR.. Corning could
do about the Russian woman speaker.
and he made no defense at all for using
the Rugg books, nor did he express any
willingness to remove them from District
schools. However. the House District
Committee Immediately requested that
all Rugg books be removed from our
public schools.
AS the attorney who drafted two bills
introduced into the 80th Congress to cor
rect and remedy subversive teachings in
District public schools, well recall DR..
Corning's objection to such legislation
and the support of the National Educa-
ton Association in the objection to
AlASllCdu tedCIl1lsS Ill Jul puoilC SCilooiS.
So far as is known, neither DR.. Corning
nor the National Education Association
hate ever raised any objection to sub
versive and un-American teaching prac-
tices. Thus. to my mind, both the man
Corning and the National Education AS
sociation have clearly and definitely out
lived their usefulness to the cause of
American public education.

So Shines the Glory

She held the small carred donkey In
her pain,
And felt the pery earth turn still and
calm,
As II this hour in time had ceased to be
While she dreamed OF the BRIGHT
NatiDity.
The star ,oas ,Oondrous fair aboue the
earth
Where angels sang the baby Sautour's
birth
And this tpds strange and wonderful to
knoU.
But somehow she could hear the cattle
loD
And see the stable. smell the scented
hay
On to1ich the louety Infant Jesus iay,
And quietly, led there By Joseph's hand,
She sdtD the small and dusty donkey
stand
With proud and pointed ears as II he
That he had serDed, as he Uas born TO do.
The star toas glorious and the angels
song sY
Had fingered on the hills the whole
night long
But she avas glad that humble things
had been
Stabbed, with Loue. behind the grounded
inn,
For as the humble shared such glory
So shines the glory nom ON humble men!

joyed immense material progress, in
cluding new schools, hospitals, housing
developments and good roads. Millions
of dollars were expended by the Italian
government for the general improve
ment of conditions in those African
colonies
In perfect accord with your statement
of too much haste in this transforma-
United Nations Organization has made
its third hasty and grave error in deal
ing with the Italian problems in gen.
eral.
The first mistake was the italian
Peace Treaty. The grave errors are ap-
parent today. and the Big Three have
definitely admitted the inequality of
the terms of that treaty, and>are now
considering complete revision or abro-
CATION OF the terms of the treaty.
The second error was in taking away
from Italy the African colonies after
35 years of development, and the ex-
penditure of millions of dollars. And
now the third, the rush in Transforming
Libya into an independent nation.
Such a conversion may involve the
repatriation Of thousands Of Italians to
their homeland, because Of probable
hardships under the new Libyan govern
ment. With over 100000 refugees in
Italy today, such an additional transit
ton Of population would increase the
unemployment situation to o precarious
point.
Past experience has taught us that
communism thrives where political and
economic stability is lacking, as it is in
Libya. This situation is rendered more
dangerous by the actual existence of
extreme ignorance and lack of capable
men to direct the affairs of nation.
In view Of what has happened to
other nations created by the United
Nations Organization, such as Korea,
fear one more economic headache" will
be added to the list Of United States
global activities, and future Communist
domination Of over one million more
people.

Non Scheduled AirIines

From the description of the airliner
that carried Sc persons to their death in
New Jersey. it was a two-engine trans
port. If so, how can it be possible for
any one to get away with crowding that
many aboard? Were l to drive down
Sixteenth street with 20 people in my
passenger car. what would police do
to me?
On takeoff, the right engine was afire
and wing crumbled. What sort of
condition could the plane have been in
for this to happen?
It is high time, almost too late, to
lower the boom on so-called non-sched-
uled airlines.

Capital Society Won't Hear Metropolitan Rood Company;
Ren7orks Plush Newport Are Reminiscent of Post Eno

Ever since it was first an
nounced that Richard Strauss
opera. die Fledermaus," would
be produced here in Washington
at the Capitol Theater this fall,
hope has run high among the cul-
tured, music loving contingent.
For the first time in history the
Metropolitan Opera was sending
out its own road company and
Washington was to be one of their
full week stops. 1t began to look
as though the opening wedge had
been made for drawing here in the
future more of the greatest type
of musical art from the greatest
company.
It's been 81 years since Wash
ington society was treated to a
performance of the Metropolitan
Opera company. It used to come
here every spring at Polls Theater
and after the demise of the Poll
it came for the last time in April
1880 to the Capitol, which was
then the Fox. Though the we'll
known and less-known localities
responded with enthusiasm. the
venture was not repeated be-
cause movie houses could make
so much money out OF movies
they did not need to &c
into the more troublesome. less
lucrative field of opera. 1t all
goes back, of course, to an oft
renewed topic of Capital party
talk-the shameful need in oul
important city for an opera house
where both opera and ballet car
be produced with the proper trap
pings. 1t was hoped that the
scheduled performance of die
Fledermaus" on October % woulC
stir up lot of interest in that
direction.

The JohnC. Walkers
With Dean Rothbun
Give Barn Fete
By Margaret S. Dickey

A regular caravan Of converti-
bles filled with peasant-skirted
girls and young men in blue jeans
wound its way last night out Wis
consin avenue and up the Rock
vile pike, heading for an evening
of baseball and barn dancing.
Destination was Boxwood, estate
of Mr.. and Mrs. Dean Rathbun,
and the enticement was barn
party given by Mr.. and Mrs. John
c. Walker III and Mr.. Dean Rath-
bun, son of the barns owners.
In each car there was custo-
dian of the directions which had
been inclosed with the invitations.
But this job amounted to little
more than formality, since flares
and signs left no doubt as to
which 'left" one should take after
passing Georgetown Preparatory
School.
Invitations Set Tempo
Even if the carefully detailed
directions proved unnecessary, the
invitation itself was vital for sug-
gesting ahead of time the mood
and spirit of the party.
It arrived in rough brown en-
velope and proclaimed in large,
topsy-turvy letters, Party, Coun-
try Style" It went on to define
ate just what the guests should
expect, from softball and dancing
to eating and drinking. A sketch
of a lazy farmer completed the
picture of informaltiy.
And the guests dressed accord
ingly. High-heeled pumps gave
way to sneakers and silken decol-
letage bowed to the mobility and
comfort of cotton dirndlS. Moe
casins were the popular footgear
for men, and khaki trousers ran a
dead heat with dungarees.
Porty Participants
More than 125 young people
were invited to join the festivities
and the guest list read like a
combined st. Adams Landon
yearbook from 1941 to 1914. For
this there was good reason as Mr..
Rathbun went to Landon and Mr..
Walker to st. Adams.
Frank and Sherry Addison were
among those invited as we're Mr..
and Mrs. Kemp Devereaux, Joe
Devereaux, the Philip Bowies, the
David Brawners and John w.
Brawner, Agnes and Larry DAILY,
Mr.. and Mrs. George Ferris, the
George Kriners, the Bates Little
hales, L. E. Hutchison, the Gene
Colts and Jane and Dick West.
Still others invited were Jane
and John Greeley, Walter john
son, Mr.. and Mrs. John G. Beatty
III, Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Cromelin,
jr.; Mr.. and Mrs. Lester Barker,
Bill Bond, Grover Gill, Nancy
Kear, Virginia Wetherill, Louise

ert Cogswell and, for the doctor
in the house, there was Gordon
Daisley.

very popular.
