Taft Holds Out
Olive Branch
Would Consult With

By }. A. O'Leoy

Taft of Ohio arrived in the con-
vention city today with an olive
branch in his hand. Offering to
cooperate with Eisenhower sup
porters if he wins the Repub-
lican nomination.
Holding his first press confer
|ence, he was asked what steps he

would take to heal the breach in
party ranks if he wins.
IF I were nominated, I have a
very forgiving nature" the Sen
ator replied. II would be glad to-
have all of these men in consulta-
tion. I don't think Gov. Dewey
did that in 1948."
Comments on Korean War.
Other highlights of the con-
ference were:
The Senator thought Commu-
mist shooting at United Nations
planes from across the Manchur-
ian border is the natural result
of what he called fighting "a half
war;" instead of all-out war as
recommended by Gen. Macarthur
Is months ago.
Regarding Secretary of State
Acheson's reported apology to the
British for bombing power plants
near the Yalu, the Senator said
he would concur in the adverse
reaction unless there was an
understanding to notify Great
Britain first. He said he did not
think there should have been such
an understanding. but if there was
it should have been lived up to.
He still regards President Tru-
man as his favorite Democratic
opponent, but refused to name a
second choice, particularly as Mr..
Truman may still be the candi-
date" He made an exception in
naming the President, he said,
because MIR. Truman "was kind
enough to name me as his favorite
opponent"
Blasts at Gallup Poll.
The Senator was asked about
the prediction by Republican,
Cows. Driscoll Of New Jersey and
Kohler of Wisconsin that the Re-
publicans would be the underdogs
in November if the Ohioan is
nominated.
That's part of the propaganda
that I can't win," Senator Taft
replied. There is nothing to base
it on except the Gallup Poll and If
there's anything that had been
discredited it's the Gallup Poll"
Asked if he has written an &C
ceptance speech, the Senator
answered mo-" but added that
two had been writteen and sent
to him. He said he has not read
them yet. The Senator still talked
of having the required 604 dele
gates to win, but said it would be
a matter Of strategy to decide
later whether to try for a first
ballot victory.

Commissioners View
Crime Committees
Report With Caution
Call Data 'Interestine,'
But Declare Thut 1t
Requires Careful Study

City officials demonstrated a
cautious approach today to the
Senate District Crime Commit
tees report on Washington rack
let's and law enforcement.
Most of them said it was a fine
report. but said that careful study
will have to be given to the doc
ument. which was made public
yesterday.
Zone thing certain, the report
is not going to stay on the shelf, +"
Commissioner Renah F. Camalier
declared.
The report. prepared after nine
months Of hearings and investiga-
ton. sharply criticized law en-
forcement in the District. It
urged an independent study of
the police setup here.
Pledge Renewed.
Last week, before the report was
released. Mr.. Camalier pledged
himself to carry out the crime
committees recommendations. He
renewed his pledge today. but
said he did not want to comment
on specific ways it will be imple-
mented without further study.
He said he felt the proposed
study of the Police Department
was something the Commissioners
could do without calling in an
outside agency, as recommended
in the report.
Brig. Gen. Bernard L. Robin
son. the engineer commissioner,
termed the report constructive and
helpful.
He said plans already had been
made to study the Police Depart
ment administrative setup. This
is proposed under the Districts
reorganization plan which goes
into effect at midnight, he pointed
out.
DOnohue Comments.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue. who Inherited from former
Commissioner John Russell Young
the task of supervising the Police
Department, commented:
"It looks like a very complete
report with some interesting rec
concentrations which we certainly
shall give every consideration"
Charles E. Ford, Washington
lawyer who represented former
Police Chief Robert J. Barrett and
suspended Inspector Albert I. Bull
lock in their appearances before
the Crime Committee. was sharply
critical of the report.
1T looks like a reprint of
Washington Confidential by two
other outsiders who don't know
what they're talking about" he
said.
His clients, Mr.. Barrett and In
spector Bullock, were among top
police officials attacked in the re-
port for inability or refusal to ex-
plain heavy cash expenditures
above their reported income.

ferred % in a move to concentrate
on areas where the most crime
occurs.

clothesmen was not properly dis
tributed through the precincts.

ly to survey promotional examina'
tions for precinct and probation
ary detectives and the work Loaf

Inspector Covell said the trans
fers and promotions were effected
to promote efficiency within the
department."

showed that four precincts-Nos
l, 2. 9 and 13-handled the

have the contest hearings tele-
Vlsed. OF course, the decision is
up to the National Committee.
The television companies have
urged that they be permitted to
televise these hearings-in which
~ delegates and 70 alternates to
the Republican National Conven-
ton are involved. Senator Lodge
OF Massachusetts,, campaign man
ager for Gen. Eisenhower, has
strongly supported the request of
the companies. Supporters of
Senator Taft of Ohio had been
divided on the question. Chair
man Gabrielson has been con-
cerned over the physical arrange
ments for televising the proceed
ings.
Would Provoke Charges.
A decision to prohibit television
OF these hearings would be fol-
lowed Immediately by charges
that some one was trying to cover
up something. This is clear from
statement by Senator Lodge.
He said:
The Eisenhower forces have
nothing to hide-nothing to con-
ceal-and nothing to frame. The
National Committee and it's
chairman will be making a major
political mistake if they insist on
keeping proceedings of the con-
vention behind closed doors.
This year millions of Ameri-
cans throughout our country will
read the proceedings of the con-
vention in the papers, hear it on
the radio and watch it on the
televiSion and the newsreels. Tol
bar any one or more of these
media from any proceeding is toI
close the door on the American
people,"
Divided Over Time.
Senator Taft and Gen. Eisen-
hover forces are at odds, too, over
the time to be allotted to hear
some of these contests. The Eisen-
hover people. who charge that the
Texas delegates-38 in number
were "stolen" by the Taft-con-
trolled Republican organization in
Texas, have suggested they be
given five hours to present their
side in the Texas case. There has
been criticism of this on the
ground that other contestants may
demand as much time, which
would swamp the National Com
mittee if granted.
Representatives of the two sides
will meet with Chairman Gabriel
son this afternoon to talk out this
matter of time allotment. A sub
committee consisting of Sinclair
Weeks, Republican national COM
mitteeman for Massachusetts, re-
presenting Gen. Eisenhower, and
Monte Appel. representing Taft,
was appointed last night to work
on the matter, after it had been
found impossible to agree.
The Eisenhower people are pro-
testing strongly that the national
committee should hear the con-

because they believe that most
people cannot profit much
from schools above the elemen
tary level. In spite of the many
Obstacles, nonetheless, higher
education is possible for more
persons in the United States
today than in a n y other
country.
International and intercul-
tural education are arousing
new interest every day. The
purposes are to promote in
each country an understand
ing Of other lands and peoples;
to improve living conditions
everywhere; to develop a
world community and to main

Mr.. Chairman; His Excel
1ency, Morris F. de Castro,
Governor Of the Virgin Is
lands; Honorable David g.
Canegata, Administrator for
st. Croix; Members Of the
School Board; Mesdames SUI
perintendent and Assistant
Superintendent of Education;
Honored Guests; Principal &
Members Of the Faculty; Eel
1ow-classmates; Ladies and
Gentlemen:
Every student from the
time he enters school looks for
ward anxiously to his gradua-
ton day because he realizes
that an education will prove
to be a valuable asset in any
course Of life which he may
desire to follow in later years.
An education is not some
thing which can be acquired
.1M GE5
overnight, but rather, it is a
continuous process which
takes place throughout our
lives. It takes many years of
work and effort, together with.
the desire to succeed, before
we can consider ourselves
educated.
Before ever going to school,
we learn facts about numbers
an dhoW to speak the language
of our country. We learn to diff
ferentiate between such con-
cepts as right and wrong, and
the meaning Of such things as
patriotism and religion,
During the years in school
we learn to write the language
which we speak; to read what
others have written, and to
arrange our thoughts in good
order IN this process, we also
learn. to think more clear
since language IS one Of the
, 1952-06-28

chief Instruments Of thought
and education.
Education can be considered
as an Individual good as well
as a social good. The educated
person has higher ideals, bet
ter controls Of his emotions, a
friendlier spirit and intelli-
gent purposes. Education Of
others unlocks for US the door
to the great achievements Of
mankind. We cannot all know
enough about medicine to
treat our own illnesses, nor
can we all know enough about
building to plan our own
homes. There is too much
knowledge in the world for
any one to absorb it all. There
fore, bearing this in mind, we
leave the knowledge Of medi-
cine to the doctor, and that Of
construction to the engineer,
who are educated in their
special fields.
Our social heritage, which
consists Of the past & present
accomplishments Of our So
ciety, is also transmitted by
education. In a democratic so
ciety such as ours, social
heritage means such things as
freedom of speech and reli-
gion; health; h 6 h living
standards and unlimited econo
mic opportunities. In short,
social heritage IS the things
we believe in; the things we
work for; an dthe things we
have achieved.
The door to democracy is
opened for US by education.
One of the main principles Of
American democracy is that
education y~including higher
education) should be available
a all persons. Not all educa
tors agree to this, however,
