McKeldin had submitted for the
year beginning July !,
It followed pen-knife whiting
of general funds by the Finance
Committee.
Senators took steps to call on
Gov. McKeldin to WELD the
hatchet. They moved toward pas
sage a resolution asking the Gov
ernor and Board Of Public Works
to chop $l,530,000 where "they
may deem most advisable" This
would leave intact public school
funds and others that may not
be touched by law.
The House has similar resolu.
ton on its calendar, and legisla-
tive approval was believed certain.
Longest Meeting Of Session.
In its longest meeting Of the
session, the Senate also gave final
concurrence to $500 increases in
State wide teacher pay scale, with
a companion measure to speed up
automatic annual raises. Teachers
may receive boosts up to $3.50 in
the fall of 1858. =
Gov. McKeldin was generally
expected to veto both measures.
He wants to examine the report
of a commission that will study
school administration and f1nan-
ces. Even should his veto be over
ridden at the start Of the 1858
session, he would have to provide
funds in the ensuing budget or
the raises would be postponed still
another year.

pace Of the slowest member of the alliance.
General Bradley fears that the foot dragging
will continue unless our allies can be convinced
that the atom and its military products are not
the answer to the problem of land armies and
costly conventional arms for ground warfare.
To convince them he believes they will need to
have better understanding not only of what
atomic weapons can do but of what they cannot
do And it Is difficult to give them this under
standing without divulging at least some of the
secrets which the Atomic Energy Act prevents
us from sharing even with our closest allies
There have been discussions at the Pentagon
from time to time about the possibility of
relaxing somewhat in our restrictions on secrecy
OF atomic information, but the Fuchs case and
other spy disclosures raised roadblock to
further planning General Bradley has reached
the conclusion, however, that the time has come
to consider this problem anew-as matter of
self-interest. He indicated his personal belief
that NATO field commander ought to know
when and in what quantity and under what
circumstances we would be willing to supply
atomic weapons. Such information need not
include technical details on the weapons them
selves. It seems likely that Congress will be
asked to review the question of atomic security
as it affects our allies. Certainly if atomic
security is strict to impern Western security
and world peace, a restudy of our secrecy policy
adopted in 1916 before NATO had come into
being-would be In order.

This and That

Templeton Jones likes to read in public
vehicles. but he reSents people reading
over his shoulder.
Perhaps nine out of 10 persons do:
they somehow feel uncomfortable, and
tend to raise the cover Of the back so
that the offender cannot see.
Just why Jones or any one else objects
to this popular practice is unknown.
Actually, there is no reason why one
should feel uncomfortable when
stranger wants to share ones book, bu.
surely one does, and that is that.
It is so to some extent with newspaper
or magazine, but particularly with a
book.
Can it be that ones books are Sensi-
lively ones own, whereas other forms of
reading are to be shared, in their very
essence?
There are two ways of regarding
books, and each has its devotees. One
way is to hold them as primarily for
use. What can the reader get out of
the book any book? From this group

It is invidiouS, perhaps, to make any

will be that ones personally owned book

Therefore, to share it with another

Secret Public Business

was referring to Gov. Stevenson's re-

Governor of Illinois.
Since the source and disbursement
of funds used in political campaigns are
being scrutinized, it might be suggested
that Gov Adams and other Republican
leaders who supported Gen. Eisenhower
for the Republican presidential nomi-
nation be called upon to disclose where
the money used to obtain his nomination
came from and where it was spent.
It was rumored at the time of the
Republican Convention that Gen.
Eisenhower's nomination had cost his
supporters millions. Whether the money
was donated by people who believed his
nomination was for the best interest
of the party or because Of selfish
motives, their names should be known

DANGEROUS Atomic Illusions

General Bradley, chairman Of the Joint
Chiefs of STAFF, has called attention to a serious
problem in connection with our refusal to share
atomic secrets with our North Atlantic Treaty
allies It is the danger that lack of information
about atomic weapons may lead to miscon-
ception of their role in future warfare. In fact,
General Bradley found during his recent trip
to Europe that "some misunderstanding" does
exist among NATO nations about the part our
atomic arsenal might play If Soviet attack
should come. He detected a disturbing tendency
to relax and rely on American nuclear weapons
for European defense. Unfortunately, our cur
tain Of secrecy around atomic arms fosters this
tendency.
The jos chairman told reporters on his
return to Washington: There is feeling in
some of the (NATO) countries that since we have
atomic weapons there is no use in their building
I'D any forces whatsoever, and they use that as
an excuse for resting on their laurels, you might
say, as they are at the present time without
making any further efforts" Chairman Tom
Connally of the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee also has voiced some cautious criticism
of NATO progress. After six-week tour OF
Europe, he warned that the potential victims OF
aggression must do their part and not depend
on the United States for arms, supplies and
troops" He mentioned the reduction in terms OF
military service recently announced by some OF
