She was responsible for setting

She became aware of the
vacuum of information on tele-
vision at home when she ar
ranged a discussion, "Is Tele-
vision Liability or an Asset to
Education?" for the Town Meet
ing in 1851.
II really had to cast around
to get opinion on the subject be-
cause it had not become crystal
lized then" Mrs. Colclough said.
That is not the case today. Re-
quests for information pour into
the committees headquarters
constantly, particularly from
women.
Women important
Women are really behind edu-
cational televiSion," Mrs. Col
clough explained enthusiastically.
A large share of the credit for
the creation of Pittsburgh's edu-
cational television station which
will open in January (headed by
Bill Wood Of Washington TV)
goes to the women of that city.
Women's clubs, PTAs, Girl
Scouts worked hard in the So
subscription campaign ($2
bought a comprehensive sample
log and membership in the sta

ing of WQED.
Fifty per cent of the program

voted to classroom telecasts
which will broaden the instruc-

give parents q chance to see

Mrs. Colclough, who taught
briefly before her marriage, de-
clared.
One Of the highlights Of the

the concentrated effort Of a vol

said. Eight hundred women

means that Republican officials
who want to get rid of these
veterans in the better-paying
jobs have to prefer charges
against them strong enough to
stand up to the veterans appeal
to the csc.
Even if the csc appeal goes
against the veteran, he has the
right to court action and the
courts in recent years have
ruled mostly in favor of veterans
in such cases.
The result is that the Republic
cans are reSorting to transfers
and reaSsignments within an
agency in order to put some of
the persons of their own choice
in key jobs. Veterans in these
excepted positions are given
other jobs at the same salary
they have been getting, even
though their new duties may
not be as important anymore.
In other cases, the Republic
can administrators have not
done anything about excepted
jobs filled by veterans. They are
waiting in hopes that something
can be done about the situation.
One possibility is recognize
ton and realignment of func-
tionS. in which jobs are abolished
and then created anew under a
different title or description of
duties. However, this is rather
a cumbersome way of doing
things. Another alternative
would be modification of the
Preference Act. But it's unlikely
that Congress would risk the
wrath of the politically powerful
veterans organizations by tam
pering with veterans preference.
Veterans in Government who
have civil service status have
even greater job protection
rights. al
In this connection. the Louis
Bean case in the Agriculture De-
partment was widely regarded
as a test case both by Republic
can officials and career employees
throughout the Government. Mr..
Bean, a career economist. was
slated for firing when the Re-
publicans took over. But after
Secretary of Agriculture Benson
took a look at the situation and
found that Mr.. Bean had civil

The National Association Of
Manufacturers yesterday sent out
an SOS to businessmen, saying
that strong business support is
required If the basic principles of
Taft-Hartley are to be retained"
The NAM said in its Washing
ton Bulletin that "the unions
already have embarked upon a
well-planned program to emas-
culate the labor law-the threat
to Taft-Hartley is considered
serious"
Hearings have just started in
Congress on proposals to amend
the law. House hearings began
this week and Senate hearings
are to start soon.
Conservatives in Congress, :"
the NAM advised businessmen,
ARE disappointed at the lack of
requests from business to testify
at House and Senate hearings.
IF you have a good witness to
defend Taft-Hartley or know a
good witness. please wire us at
once. Also wire both House and
Senate Labor Committees at once
for permission to testify.
Unless this is done, the re-
vision of Taft-Hartley will be
undertaken against a background
of union INSPIRED testimony. and
the future labor management
law will not be to the liking of

Maryland Road Work

BY the A.soeiotsd Press

BALTIMORE, Feb. IA con-
tractor is being paid $500 a
day by the State for not build
ing an expressway, the Balti-
more Evening Sun reported to-
day.
The Mello L. Teer Co. of VIM
ston-Salem. N. c., is receiving
the money because work on the
Baltimore Harrisburg express
way has been stopped by a court
order. the Sun said. The work
stopped December 10. fifty
seven days ago.
The contract provides for the
penalty because company equip
ment and supervisory personnel
still are tied up on the job.
Joseph D. Buscher, special as
sistant attorney general to the
Roads Commission. has con-
f1rmed the penalty payments.
the Sun said.
Work was stopped on the ex-
pressway in Baltimore County
because an owner refused to give
up his land. Circuit Judge John
B. Centrum upheld the property
owners contention that the
State could not condemn his
land.
The judge said the traffic VOL
ume in the area did not justify
an expressway. The judges
ruling has been taken to the
State Court of Appeals and was
argued there Tuesday. A de-
cision is not likely to be made
for a month.
John M. Franklin owns the
land on which the State wants
to route the expressway. He
turned down an offer of $4,000
for it.

has been suspended is 3.5 miles

Right up to the closing min

significant trend in this under

have leaned toward Russia and
voiced suspicion Of Western in
