Western Europe's Output

The Economic Cooperation Administrators
report on the third year of the Marshall Plan
lends a lot of substance to the hope that Western
Europe will be able to continue increasing It's
productivity to level that will permit 1t TO
carry through with rearmament without de-
pressing it's civilian living standards to danger
point
Three years ago, when the Marshall Plan be-
gan, nearly all of the European participants were
on the verge of complete economic collapse.
Since then, however, they have staged such
remarkable recovery that their output industrial
and agricultural-has climbed well above what it
was just before the outbreak Of the Second World
War. In fact two of the participating countries
Britain and Ireland-have staged so vigorous
a comeback that their ECA aid has been cut off
more than year ahead of the Marshall Plans
scheduled end in 1882 and similar action may
soon be decided upon for few other countries.
The most important aspect of Western
EuropeS recovery has been its steady gain in
the field of industrial production. During 1850,
the total output was II per cent higher than in
1949, anu 1949 showed similar Jump over 1948.
With the end of ECA's third year in March, the
overall figure was 80 per cent above the pre-
war level and present indications are that the
climb will continue Plainly enough, in terms
of stepping up their productivity with new plants
new machines, new LeCL1IllQueS, cCC., 4Icc
Europeans have been making excellent use OF
our help under the Marshall Plan.
But much more can be achieved. According
to the ECA, the Western Europeans can realize
an increase of 500 billion in their annual pro-
ductivity well within the next ten years. To at
tain this great goal, however, they must have not
only an adequate supply of raw materials but
also the vision and determination to do what they
must do-and can do-to become far stronger
economically. To that end what is required of
them is an untiring effort to improve factory
techniques, promote management efficiency,
lower trade barriers, and cooperate in such en-
terprises as the Schuman Plan to organize their
countries into kind of single, vast producing
and marketing area comparable to that de-
veloped by our 48 States
Certainly, if it makes a real effort Western
Europe can become far more productive than it
is now. Within three years, under the Marshall
Plan, it has shown that it has the ability to grow
steadily in strength. It's Still-untapped economic
potential is very great If it does the job it can
and should do it will not have to worry too much
about the impact of rearmament on its civilian
standards. Assuming that an about war is
averted those standards are bound to rise mark
edly the closer the Europeans approach the ECAs
goal of $1OO-billion increase in their annual
productivity.

prefer to work in office jobs because
those fabulous" salaries Of teachers Gin
Maryland are not comparable to those
paid bookkeepers and typists.
Top-notch young people today are
stunning the teaching profession, not
because they would not be assets to
the profession. but because teaching
does not compensate for the years of
study. the years of service and the
years of imitation.
During the recent war, the qualifica-
tons for teachers, due to shortage, were
lowered. It takes time to build green"
teacher, no matter how talented, into
an effective, experienced teacher. You
see, Mr.. Miles, talented teacher can
teach more than subject matter. A
good teacher can develop character
traits and attitudes on life that are
wholesome, and counterfeit the kind
that the Kefauver committee spot
lighted.
Penny wise can be uneconomical,
even morally destructive. And the issue
is not PTAs or teachers, but children,
God bless them!

Did Photographers Misbehove on M-Doy?
TO the Editor of The Stor:

10 the EDITOR or ne Stor:
n HAVE been reading with much in
= terest about the alleged difficulties
encountered by the press-particularly
photographers-in their coverage Of
Gen. MacArthur's first visit here upon
his return from Japan.
was one of the thousands Of spec
tators at the National Airport when
Gen. Macarthur arrived in Washington.
The ordinary citizens were kept back
at least $50 feet from the arriving
plane and any Of the welcoming digni-
taries. Two large Army trailers were
especially provided for the press photog-
raphers. It appeared that at least 200
photographers were present, occupying
every vantage point from which the
arriving group could be seen.
They were swarming all over the
place. I, and thousands of other ordi-
nary citizens, did not see the general
nor any Of his party. But We did see
one of the most disgusting exhibitions
of discourtesy and lack of tolerance for
the rights Of others that it has been
my misfortune to witness or hear about
In the first place. why was it neces-
sary to have several hundred photog-
raphers covering such an event? Sec
ondly, why did they not remain in the
vantage points provided for them?
Lastly, why do newspapers choose as
photographers the rudest people on their
stats?
The photographers on this occasion
broke through the lines that the military
police tried to maintain, and pushed and
showed not only the general but anybody
who got in their way. Generally speak
ing, they acted like beasts instead of
human beings. In the indiscrimiiate
struggle for pictures around the generals
car as he was entering ~ dozens Of
photographers formed solid phalanx
of pushing men, who did not allow any
one else even glimpse of the party.
It looked like bunch Of starving vul-
lures fighting over pile of meat.
Freedom Of the press is an institution
we pride ourselves on in this country,
but surely freedom of the press cannot
countenance any such behavior as I
witnessed. 1t is readily seen that the
Air Force police in Hawaii were merely
trying to maintain a Semblance of ordi-
nary human courtesy and proper be-
havior. It is laugh that the Air Force
apologized for its actions, when 1t should
have been exactly the opposite.
It seems that freedom of the press is
now being considered license to behave
as no private citizen would dream of
behaving, in the mad scramble for news

More on PTAs

The letter of Franklin T. Miles eriti-
Ching parent-teacher associations, be-
cause it appears that they differ with
him on the matter of what a good
teacher is worth, proves that his evalua-
ton of both parent-teacher associations
and teachers is based solely on whether
it will cost him another buck or two.
It is not clear just how Mr.. Miles
became an authority on the qualifica-
tons of teachers. Parents recognize
that there are differences in the teach
ing abilities Of teachers, and their
children are Of considerable concern.
AS citizens and taxpayers, they have a
right to express their desires.
There are many former school teach
ers, including those from Maryland, who

Neqro Physicians in Washington

The two-to-one margin by which the mem
bers of the District Medical Society have voted
in favor of admitting qualified Negro physicians
to the organization is a thoroughly commendable
mark of progress.
There is nothing in the society's constitution
or bylaws which precludes admission of Negro
doctors. The fact remains, however, that no
Negro is member, and none has been for many,
many years, if ever
The vote recording the sentiment of the
membership is not binding on the Board of
Censors, which passes in the first instance on
membership applications, or on the Executive
Board. It should have persuasive influence
however. There is no justification for racial
discrimination in a professional organization
such as the Medical Society. Furthermore, there
are practical reasons why Negro doctors should
be accepted if otherwise qualified They cannot
qualify for membership in the American Medical
Association unless they belong to their local
medical society, which in this instance means
the District Medical Society. Society member
ship also would remove one obstacle to Negro
doctors who desire to qualify for local hospital
stats, with the privilege of treating private
patients in the hospitals.
Throughout the South, the trend is toward
elimination of racial barriers in medicine.
Arlington County doctors recently voted to lift
racial bans Majority sentiment throughout
Virginia is to the same effect Seven of nine
medical schools in the South now are admitting
Negroes. The District Medical Society should
not lag behind, and it will not if the boards
which pass on applications will be governed by the
clearly expressed sentiment of the membership

All military promotions, especially the
grades Of general and equivalent ones,
should be automatic, so that man would
know when he earned them he would be
sure to get them. inefficient men can

@. Are the paintings Of Gauguin very
valuable?-E. K.
A. The money value Of paintings may
be judged from the prices which paint
ings by the artist under consideration
have brought at auction. Prices for
Gauguin's work between the years 1914
and 1945 had range Of $500 to $4,000.
These are the most recent prices avail
able, since these paintings rarely appear
at auction.
@. What causes clinkers to form?-
w. G.
A. Clinkers are Jumps of melted ash
Some Goals have an ash that melts
easily, and others have an ash that
melts only at very high temperatures.
If the ash settles down on the crate the
air coming through the CRATE coolS it,
and fewer clinkers are formed. If the
ash is lifted into the hot fuel bed, it
becomes quite hot and may melt to form
clinkers that have to be pulled out the
furnace door.
@. Was John Cabot, the explorer Of
North America, an Englishman?-D. r. o.
A. Cabot was an Italian by birth, who
went to England in 1484. His name
was originally Giovanni Caboto. He re-
ceived letters patent from King Henry
VII, granting him authority to claim for
England any island or mainland he
might find.
@. How do model railroaders measure
track mileage?-P. w. S.
A. In scale miles, the miniature equiva-
lent of statute miles. 1t is reported that
model railroaderS operate $500 statute
miles of track. This is equivalent to
ILL., 900 scale miles of track.

CORONA uElC0NnES Pal0nER
 Three plane loads of about sixty Palmer people were carried to Cordova last Friday by the Pacific Northern --ir1ines. single DC-3 shuttled back and forth, making the three round trips in about seven hours. The fastest time reported was from Palmer to Cordova in forty-five minutes. The route followed was over the Knik Pass, and as the day clear, wonderful view of the Lake George ice gorge was obtained. The hnik Glacier vas fully visible to it's head in the high mOuntins. Ut this time of the year Lake George is d big sheet of ice and snow, but the channel between the mountain and the glacier if plainly visib1
 liter crossing the hump, the big glaciers on the Prince William Sound side were seen the largest and most interesting of which is the Columbia Glacier. From the plane 's elevation We were able to see the long string of ice that feeds the glacier. Col umbia Glacier finally breaks off into salt water, the place being plainly visible where excursion steamers go to view the ice wall.
 From the Glacier on, the route crosses many islands that are surrounded by un- frozen water, and, just before getting to Cordova we crossed big Hawkins Island. The plane lew over COrQOVG ana Landed apOUL B mi les up the river, and cars were used to drive back to Cordova. The Copper River flats are in full view from here, and the old line of the railroad is visible for some distance up the valley. High, snow covered mounta ins, feed glaciers that join vi tn the old railroad bed, and were the cause of much trouble to raj lroaders in the old days.
 Palmer people were surprised to see so many large bui 1dings in Cordova, and were puzzled as to how automobi les can climb the steep grades in the cityfs streets. The sna 1l-boat harbor was visited and scores of fishing vessels were observed eat least five feet of lying the unused parts of the city's streets and a bu1ldozer crew was pushing into the bay, three blocks away.
 On the first evening, two baske et-ba11 games were played, the Rockets losing to the Imperials of Cordova, by one point. and the Matanuska Hotel team winning frsm the Cordova Moose.
 One of the high-1ights of the evening was the personal appearance of the Mtanus- IS@ H(1

SE[0 AID FERTILIZER REPORT
 Seed end fertilizer have been ordered for some time now, and will be shipped the Hast of this month if present plans are Ifolloued. -.ccording to the questionaires received it appears that there will be more seed and fertilizer needed this year, than ever before. The farmers of the Val Hey are very fortunate that the .-naconda leo. and Li1lyis Seed Co. Of Seattle are providing ell of the fertilizers that were asked for in the original order. Ferti1- lizers are scarce in the States this year land many farmers there will not be able to lget the amount that they have asked for. --monium Nj tratc and the oupor thosphates are in short supply. t-oWevor, 1t appears that the farmers in the MatGnuska Valley rho sent in their requirements before the first of the year, will be able to get all they have asked for. ..s there Was con- lsidorab1o more ordered by the Coop than this list showed, VIC believe that everyone lean be satisfied. In regard to the second order sent in, it W1s impossib1 to get any more mmonium Nj trate and Calcium Nit rate vas substi tuted. If this article is las good as it has been recommended, it should take the place of the ..mnonium Nit rate. Prices in some instances, arc high CT than last year, but. generally speaking Twill be about the sGme.
 Brome Grass is cons derably cheaper this Iyeer. Grass seeds are from the North Coast Seed Co. in cortland, Oregon, and Twill arrive about the time es the other products.
 Seed and fertilizor will be handled the same as last year. lO% discount will be given to all persons who will get their stuff from tho and pay cash. It op- pears that there will be about lo to Is carloads, with the total value of the seed in the neighborhood of soventy-five thous- and dollars. It is important that pur- chascrs be hand to get their orders vi thin q limited time, so that denurrage will not accumulate cars and the dare- house can determine the amount that will have to be placed in the warehouse.
