Senate Debate
On Home Rule
Enters I'd Day
Vote Not Expected
Before Tomorrow;
Johnston Holds Floor
By Don S. Worren


The Senate today headed into
its second full day Of debate over
the compromise plan for an
elected District Government that
still would be subject to Congress
sional dictates.
A Senate vote was not expected
before tomorrow but this de-
pended on how much debate de-
veloped and how many Interrupt
tions for national affairs.
Senator Johnston, Democrat, of
South Carolina, who held the
floor for more than three nours
yesterday with attacks on the
limited city suffrage bill, said he
was only about half through with
his 93-page prepared speech.
Seeking More Support.
He has been promised help to-
day, with talk by Senator Smith,
Democrat, of North Carolina, and
was searching for more support.
Senator Johnston was to take
the floor again today. He stopped
yesterday on Page So. In addition,
he is reading numerous editorials
from Washington newspapers and
excerpts from the old Federalist
papers.
Sponsors of the bill, Jointly
offered by a bipartisan group of
% Senators, seemed convinced the
bill would win Senate approval.
Two proponents were planning
to debate issues today after Sem
ator Johnston has finished. They
are Republican Senators Case Of
South Dakota and Smith Of New
Jersey.
Few Senators ON Floor.
Yesterdays session produced
little new in argument and engen-
dered no enthusiasm. During most
OF the four hours devoted to the
measure. only a few Senators were
IN the floor. At one time, only two
were in the chamber.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat, of
Tennessee. led off the debate with
"a 30-minute outline of the bill
and its objectives. The time has
come. he declared, for Congress
to redeem the suffrage pledges
written into both the Democratic
and Republican platforms.
He argued that the plans for an
elected city council and school
board, an appointed mayor and a
non-voting District delegate in
the House would provide adequate
safeguards for both the Federal
interests here and the Districts
financial security.
Raps Board Of Trade.
The Constitutionality of the
compromise bill, he said. is mot
open to any real question" He
said a spokesman for the Board
of Trade. "arch enemy Of all
home rule legislation" had agreed
that Congress could delegate it's
District legislative powers, sub
ject to veto action by the House
or Senate.
Under the pending plan, the
proposed council could enact all
purely local legislation without
reference to Congress, but Con-
gress would retain its authority to
legislate as it wished on any
District issue.
Senator Johnston took the op-
|posite view that Congress could
not delegate to an agent-the
proposed city council-the "ex-
elusive jurisdiction" the Consti-
tuition placed in Congress over the
District.
Senator Kefauver argued that
Congress today does not have the
time to devote to District prob
lens. But Senator Johnston con-
tended that, if the bill was
intended to relieve Congress of
its National Capital problems, "it
will fail miserably."

Templeton Jones is kind man, but
not absurdly so.
Sometimes kindness is carried to the

Jones refuses to step on ants, but Is

He says one must draw the line some-

The average man of today is such a

Modern Teaching

Much earnest discussion has taken
place recently over the quality and di-
rection of modern teaching. AS in ma
tional politics. this controversy exists
between liberal and conservative think
ers. The issue, progressive education
versus the older system sometimes re-
ferred to as the three RS. Here. as in
politics. liberals have sought to end all
argument with charges of reaction.
BY no means an expert. my leaning
has been toward the conservatives. The
older system sought to inculcate
into the child's mind love Of country
and respect for its institutions. Under
progressive education, the teaching Of
pure American history appears to be
taking an unimportant place IN the
curriculum or disappearing altogether.
Modern educators appear ashamed OF
old-fashiored patriotism. preferring to
advocate world patriotism. Every citi-
zen. it seems to me, should be proud to
say, IT am an American: I love my coun-
try!" Yet we witnessed few months
ago the spectacle Of youth renouncing
his American citizenship to become a
Citizen of the world"
An incident this past week. recounted
to me by several witnesses, may indicate
that we have already permitted too
much global indoctrination Of our youth.
It occurred at the conclusion OF an ad,
dress to a women's political organiza-
ton by a representative Of patriotic
organization beyond reproach. Her sub
ject: Communism in the Schools. This
talk was not aimed at any local s1tua-
ton.
The talk was moderate and well doc
umented from her organizations files.
It was enthusiastically received by most
of the guests. but one young mother
took bitter exception to the remarks.
explaining that she had received special
training in the subject under discus
sion. Her theme was that communism
should be taught in schools so children
could decide between the merits of the
American and Russian systems.
Such a theory might possess some
dubious plausibility if applied to 1ntelll-
gent, mature individuals in a position
to choose; but does the child exist who
has the experience and native lntelll-
gence necessary for such choice?
certainly doubt it. just as sensible
would be the teaching in church sun
day schools of murder, rapine and rob-
berry as the best way to demonstrate
the desirability of Christianity.
I am morally certain that no parent
educated under the older system would
advocate the teaching of either commu-
nism or crime, nor would they sit idly
by to watch such teaching if they were
cognizant of it. Since so much apathy
and even outright militant approval
exists today, may this not indicate that
subversive teachings have already &C
complished their purpose? Have we
raised one generation to foreign ldeolo-
gies which 1T is now passing on to
second generation? Given the training
of childhood. Marxists claim they can
create lifetime followers. Can this be
the aim of our educational liberals?

Serving the Public at Lorqe

Everything the aroused residents of George
town have told the Commissioners about the
nerve-racking noises and house-shaking vibra-
tionS Of Capital Transit buses undoubtedly is
true. And the prospect of even bigger noises
and vibrations from heavier liking size" buses is
enough to shatter the usual complacency of that
staid community-or any community similarly
threatened with progress" The anguished out
cries against any increase in the roaring and
jolting are entirely understandable.
1t is proper that the Commissioners should
give sympathetic attention to the Georgetown
protests. 1t is also proper, however, that in
deciding public utility question affecting the
city as whole, the advantages of larger buses
should be weighed against the disadvantages.
The bigger buses obviously have important ad-
Vantages over the present types They can pick
up an additional dozen passengers who otherwise
might have to be passed up in rush hours. With
their diesel power they are more economical to
operate. They afford more elbow room for those
who ride in them. But, as the Georgetown citi-
zens complained, they are noisy and heavy and
take up more street space than present buses.
Some parking restrictions are necessary to give
them leeway.
Actually, it would appear from the testimony
at the public hearing that the Georgetownites
are against any buses or other heavy vehicles in
their community. Much of the protesting had
to do with noise and house-rattling by the type
of buses already in use. With approximately
100000 persons relying on the buslines which
traverse Georgetown, eliminating bus service-or
failing to improve it-for the reasons cited at the
hearing would be against the public interest.
And, in the end what is best for the public
interest in general should be the controlling
factor in deciding the fate of the kings bus
program in Washington
