41st ANNUAL
PTA CONGRESS
Continued from Page One

in Delaware, which was broadcast.
Discussion groups and coffee hour
were then held in fifteen sections
of school Problems and How PTA
Can Be Most Effective in Accom-
plshing Our Objeetives." The lead
ers included educators, admins
traitors and leading laymen of the
state, and the resource persons
were drawn from similar sources.
Address by Congressman BOggs
Following luncheon, the Hon. j..
Caleb Boggs, U. S. Congressman,
addressed the group and stressed
the importance of complacency be-
ing overcome, saying that "the
strength of a nation and commun-
ity are determined by the spirit of
its people" He touched on the
fact that Delaware is entering a
new era, with complex problems,
and emphasized the need for all cit
izens to help toward the accom-
plishment of the best educational
goals possible to accomplish.
Principal Address by III. L. Toy, Jr.
The principal address was given
by Henry L. Toy, Jr., director, Ma
tional Citizens Commission for the
Public Schools, of New York. Re
versing the cliche that "all citizens
are responsible for good schools" /,
he said that "all citizens are re-
sponsible also for bad schools" He
noted the movement of citizens to
resume their responsibility. The
change from olden days, when chill
dren were taught at home, to the
present with expansion and devel-
opment, was traced and he said
that the change is mirrored in the
schools. Men in the street were
ignorant as to the schools, he
stated. and "citizens had resigned
their responsibility, so the schools
had to assume it by default. mis-
understanding and mis-information
bred mis-trust" he said, and the
great god apathy reigned SUI
preme." Citizens have awakened
to their responsibility, he conclud-
ed, and schools are not only every
body's business but everybody s
protection.

Johnson Hits Plan 10 Raise
Ad Rates as Censorship
BY the Associated Press

Any Government effort to force
newspapers to raise advertising
rates as a means of discouraging
"extravagant" advertising would
be censorship, says Senator Edwin
C. johnson. Democrat. of Colorado
"No matter what other term
they used to describe it" he told
"a reporter, "it's-something no true
democracy can permit.
when the Government starts
ito tell the newspapers what kind
Iof advertising and how much of
it they can carry, it's moving to-
ward the day when it will seek to
control their news columns too"
Senator johnson specifically de-
nounced a Senate report by a
committee headed by Senator
Humphrey, Democrat. OF Mime
sofa suggesting that newspapers
conserve newsprint by having
higher rates to discourage "ex-
travagant" advertising. Senator
Humphrey said the suggestion was
included in the report through a
staff error and had been con-
Isidered by his committee but not
approved.

Beneath Biz Stee|'s Screaming
There Are Lot Of Facts That Are Subject to Different
interpretations From Those the Companies Advance

The shrill screaming that has
followed announcement of the
Government's attitude toward
steel wages and prices indicates
that the steel companies either
have a very good case or a very
bad one. If very good case,
it could be said the injustice of
their treatment has made them
so angry that they are not ca
pable of talking reasonably and
are saying things they cannot
possibly mean; if a very bad
case, that they are seeking to
divert attention from the facts.
The president of the Inland
Steel Co., selected to speak for
the industry, took to television
and the radio to answer Presi-
dent Truman's justification of
the Governments position.
Among other things he asserted
that the industry is the victim
of a political deal between the
President and Phil Murray,
head of the steelworkers' union.
But he must have been aware
that the President is not run
ming for anything. The papers
have been full of that fact.
He charged that some of the
public members of the Wage
Sterilization Board lave been
on the payrollS of the labor
unions in the past. He did not
explain that they were serving
as impartial umpires in labor
disputes, meaning that they were

PETERSBURG, Va, April 12.-
The threat of a transit strike here

OF new contract that awards 90
cent-an-hour pay increases to

The contract, signed late yester-

the next trouble centerS where
the U. S. S. r. may operate in
the near future are greatly dis
turbed by this new diplomatic
blunder.
For more than a year a ma
tionalist wind has been blowing
violently throughout the Middle
East and North Africa. The
Arabs grouped in clinical unities
have insisted that they become
self-governing and free of any
colonial interference. The same
reasons which prompted our
Government to put pressure on
Britain and the Netherlands to
give full independence to India.
Pakistan and IndoneSia should
be applied to the Arabs in North
Africa.
AS a matter of fact neither
the Moroccans nor the Tuni-
slams demand as complete an in
dependence as was given to the
new republics of Asia. They
are willing to remain in the
French family of nations and let
Paris conduct their foreign re-
lations and supervise their
armies, which for many decades
have been an important asset to

taxes, they can still pay the
wage increase and still have
eminently satisfactory profits.
The companies claim they will
need Sc more per ton because if
they increase wages it will mean
an increase in the cost of every
thing they buy. That could be
true as to some things they
buy if they increased prices, but
not true if they absorbed the
wage increase and did not in
crease prices. The railroads,
for instance, would not have to
raise their rates on steel ship
mentS if they had to pay no
more for steel; the same goes
for manufacturers of plant
equipment and so forth.
It is argued that the COM
panies need present profits to
carry out their continuing ex-
pansion program. If all their
expansion is to come out Of

capitalist system based on in
vestment by the public? Should
the consuming public pay for
the expansion while denied an
opportunity to share in the re-
turn on the money?
The Government in reaching
it's decision estimated U. S. Steel
profits for 1951-after taxes
at $179 million. The corporation
last week reported the actual
figure. $185 million.
