pressed privately his belief that
a European defense army with
a single uniform would never
be as soul-stirring as national
divisions wearing distinctive
uniforms and insignia.
It is, of course, true that
the theme of Germany'S
Deutschland Uber Allies" came
under Hitler to typify an
abuse of nationalism-a mem
ace to the peace of other
countries. But it will be noted
that recently, when it came to
choosing q national anthem,
all political parties in West
Germany insisted on legalizing
that same song under which
: German troops had been
called to battle before. Tradi-
ton is hard to break. if indeed
it is wise to attempt for any
reason to break the spirit Of
a peoples patriotism.
The placing of the U. N. flag
above the American flag, 1t
might be contended. would be
a harmless courtesy, but in
the present atmosphere
where the tendecy is to exalt
a strange kind Of "interna-
tionalism' which definitely
seeks to disparage all national
feelings as "isolationism" or
mistaken nationalism-it is
not amiss to strengthen rather
than weaken faith in the SYM

especially in its flag.

There are substantiated fears

many representatives to the
Chamber and Senate as possi-
BILE. This means>that the non
Communist vote will be split
among the candidates Of four
parties while Palmiero Togli-
atti's Communists will main
tain a single solid front.
At the last communal elec-
ton, the Communists obtained
about 36 per cent of the
popular vote. We displayed a
great interest in the last
Italian election because of
our desire to keep states po-
litically as we'll as economically
on an even keel. Americans
OF Italian stock not only wrote
letters to their friends and
relatives urging them to vote
against the Communists, but
also sent q sizeable amount of
greenbacks-mostly in IS and
$40 bills-to help the fight
against the Communist candi-
dates. Goods supplied under
the ECA arrived in Italian
ports at the psychological
moment. Finally, two weeks
before polling time, Washing
ton and London announced
that the peace treaty signed
in 1946 would be revised and
Trieste would be returned to
Italy. This was regarded as a
political master stroke. There
Is no doubt that hundreds of
thousands of votes which
otherwise would have gone to
Togliatti and Nenni we're cast
for De GaSperi because Of that
diplomatic lure.
The Vatican also stepped
into the electoral picture. In
1913, there were only two main
political contenders: the Chris
tian Socialists and the Com
munists. The present new
splinter parties were utterly
without Importance. Thus the
Vatican could urge the Italians
to vote against the goddess
Communists and for the Chris
tian Socialists.
The picture is different now.
The interest in the election
among the Italo-Americans has
subsidized and the campaign
of letter-writing and money
sending has been greatly re-
duced. Five years after the
last parliamentary election,
the fate Of Trieste has re-
manned unchanged in spite Of

Under present farm law it be-

these quotas whenever sup

that the witching hour In

Wheat farmers then must
decide whether they want re-

Fort Belvoir is the only mill

The crisis in American edu-
cation Is real. Qualified teach
ers cannot be obtained. Young
men and women are not pre-
pairing themselves to teach
because teachers are among
the worst paid Of all employed
groups in this country. A re-
cent survey revealed that since
1947, even among those who
are trained to be teachers, 25
per cent Immediately take up
other and better-paying work.
Not only that. but most Of
those who do accept teaching
jobs find it necessary to do
other work in order to support
themselves and their families.
OF the male teachers in the
city and county of st. Louis,
it was found last year that
only 8 per cent attempted to
live by their income from
teaching alone.

none would seem to be more of

charges by Representative

that, they are attempting to block
President Eisenhower's program
to end racial segregation in serv-
ice-run schools.
Mr.. Powell wired Welfare Sec
retary Hobby yesterday that he
was informed she had sent De-
fense Secretary Wilson a memo
randum requesting that he not
follow the order of the President
Of the United States abolishing
segregation Of schools on Army

Camp Hood.

cludes the ONCE Of Education,
which administers funds for
Federally operated schools.
Welfare spokesmen said there
was no truth in Mr.. Powell's
charges. They said a letter from
Mrs. Hobby has been sent to
the Representative and should
reach him some time this aft
ernoon. Mr.. Powell said he will
release the letter to the press
when he receives 1t.
Defense Department spokes-
men emphasized that the Army
has been conducting an "order-
ly" integration policy which will
be close to completion by the
time school opens in the fall.
They explained that most Army
schools are run according to To-
cal practices, but said a Nation

whether agreements Of q legiS-

supersede the laws OF the

present Secretary Of State.
John Foster Dulles, in a public
address expressed .apprehen-
sion concerning this possible
ity.
Many Of the misunderstand-
ings concerning the true role
of the U. N. arise from an over
selling Of the y. N. as an in
strument that supposedly en-
forces peace. There are people
in America who think Of the
u. N. as a governmental struc-
ture that is over and above
individual governments. But
their fanaticism blindly over
looks the realistic fact that to-
day one set Of members Of the
U. N. is arming against an
other set and also that the
u. N. has declared Red China
an aggressor and another
member of the U. N.-Soviet
RuSSia-publicly admits send
ing munitions Of war to help
the .aggressor in Korea.
The spirit of a nation, in
deed the morale of its fight
ing army, is directly related
to the reverence and devotion
given to a national symbol
its flag. School children are
taught in the American schools,
to pledge allegiance to the
flag. American troops pay
tribute to the flag by their
daily salute at sundown. The
Nations anthem is dedicated
to a Star-Spangled Banner.
What go many cynicS of
these times overlook is that
fighting spirit is itself closely
related to national spirit and
that decadence in the military
forces sets In and the morale
