The Public Schools
The Public School System is neces-
sarily complex machine, and there
IS, consequently, a good deal of fric-
ton in its operation. In some cases
there may be a lack of care for Sc
curing the best teachers, in others
there may be lavish and iniudicious
expenditures, or insufficient checks
and balances.
1t may seem that an arrangement,
which works well in one place, may
not be altoge Their satisfactory in an
other, and at every session of the
Legislature there are projects sub
mitted for revision and amendment.

draws attention these steps in the
following front page editorial:
Maryland And Its
Industrial Developments
The attention of our readers is
specially called to the fact that Mr.
John T. Porter, Publishers Agent,
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1953-08-27

will shortly make his appearance in
our town for the purpose of intro
ducing to its citizens the work now
in course of preparation, and called
Maryland and its Industrial De
Velopment."
We bespeak for him fair hearing
and ample encouragement, not at
all upon his own account, but be-
cause the work can hardly fail to be
of the utmost benefit to our state,
and particularly our own section of
it, whose great and valuable re-
sources, and whose undeveloped pos
sibilities are far too little known.
The purpose of this work is to bring
to the notice of capitalists and
manufacturers at a distance, the
superior facilities this state affords
for the establishment and growth of
their various enterprises, and the
quick and abundant returns, which
money properly invested in for
warding manufacturers here must
bring.
The neighboring state of Pennsyl-
vania has been largely benefited by
a similar publication, and we have
both, in and upon our soil abundant,
and cogent reasons why Maryland
should profit even more, in the same
way. The work is intended to con-
vey to persons at a distance an ac-
curate knowledge of the mineral and
material resources in which our
State is so rich, and to induce cap
ital and energy now lying idle to 10
cate in our midst and help us to de-
velop sources of wealth which we
have at hand, and which are by
many, yet undreamed of.
The book will be valuable as CIV
ing complete financial and com
mercial review of our present con-
dition, and future prospects. 1t will
contain maps, illustrations, statistics
of mines and railroads, and, intact,
every item of interest that such a
work should include. We commend
it to the hearty encouragement or
our merchants and manufacturers,
and beg them to accord to Mr.. Porter
and his assistants all the help in
their power.

Working Mothers
Need Tax Relief,
House Group Told
By Ire Assoeioied Press

A House committee has heard
proposals to allow the Nations
working mothers to deduct ex-
penses Of necessary day care for
their children on income tax re-
turns.
The House Ways and Means
Committee considered that SUBJ
ject yesterday in the first day Of
hearings on a broad-Scale le-
vision of the country's total tax
structure.
Two women lawmakers ap-
peared before the group and urged
that tax benefits be granted to
working mothers Ito help protect
the family and protect the home.
Mrs. Edna Kelly, Democrat, of
New York pointed out that busi-
ness firms get tax deductions for
lavish expenses for entertain
mez1t - but nothing has been
done for hard-presSed mothers
who have to work to give their
children the advantages they
need"
Mrs. John B. Sullivan, Demo-
crat, Of Missouri said nearly 5
million mothers have left their
homes to take regular outside
employment-almoSt one of
every three mothers in the coun-
try.
Mrs. Sullivan added that most
women choose to work in out
side jobs because they have to-
Under present economic con-
ditions," she continued, "the
country needs their work"
Representative Mason, Repub-
lican, of Illinois said he favored
tax relief for working widows
who have to provide care for
their children. But he opposed
relief for all working mothers,
indicating he thinks some of
them should be staying at home
to care for their children them
selves.
In some cases, Mr.. Mason con-
tinued. children are running
around and becoming nuisances.
I wouldn't want to give deduc-
tions to that kind Of mother" j"
The proposal also drew support
from the American Nurses AS
sociation and the Office EN-
ployes International Union
(AFL).
Twenty-nine bills already
have been introduced in the
House this year to provide relief
for working mothers.

Fenwick Denounces
Stanley, Charging He
Is Dodging Issues

State Senator Charles r. Fen
wick of Arlington yesterday
lashed at his opponent for the
Democratic nomination for gov
ernor, Thomas B. Stanley, as
completely Indifferent to the
rights of the people of Virginia.
Seldom in history" Mr.. Fen
wick said in press statement,
"has Virginia had a guberna-
torial candidate who so persist
emily lodged the issues, and who
was so indifferent to the will
of the people. Stanley's attitude
is contemptuous, to say the
least"
Mr.. Fenwick continued:
by pleading prior engage
ments. my opponent has refused
to meet with me before groups
where he knew he would have to
answer face-to-face questions.
He had the effrontery to tell the
two highly respected organiZa-
tions Oeague of Women Voters
and Legislative Committee of the
National Council of Jewish
Womer) that he would not even
answer their questionnaires by
mail. Now, after he has felt the
wrath of the public, he says he
will discuss the issues, but on his
own terms, not specifically but
generally.
IF the voters are not able to
get a specific statement of his
position during an election" Mr..
Fenwick asked, what satisfac-
ton could they expect to get
from him as Governor? Having
gotten away with complete poll
tical responsibility in the
House of Representatives, STAN.
ley evidently feels that he can
continue to ignore the rights Of
the people and duties of a pub
lie servant"
In a broadcast last week, Mr..
Fenwick said that Mr.. Stanley.
who lives in Henry County and
is a former Representative, an
swered less than so per cent of
the roll call votes in the House
in 1949.
Mr.. Stanley, in a statement
last week concerning his failure
to answer questionnaires, said
he would cover "all major cam
paign issues" in speeches and
utterances addressed to the pub
lie in general, rather than to any
particular group.

represents the maximum state
ment of Mr.. Rhee's desires. there
have been many indications that
he would settle for substantially
less, at least insofar as his row
goes with the American Gov
ernment.
Korean diplomats here have
made it plain that a United
States defense pact would enable
Mr.. Rhee to modify his position
and ease his demands very
greatly. They speak of the need
he has to deal with Korean
public opinion"
U. S. Treading Softly.
The United States, on the
other hand, has wanted both to
prevent Mr.. Rhee from wrecking
any truce achieved and at the
same time avoid commitments
which would give him a blank
check for future military action
with assurance that if he got in
trouble the United States would
bail him out.
Those were the limits of the
problem with which Gen. Eli
senhower and his advisers had
to deal in their conference at
the White House yesterday.
While the decisions made were
kept secret it was learned that
the administrations approach
was to seek a friendly under
standing with Mr.. Rhee.
Avoiding Firm Stand.
This was preferred over the
alternative and more forceful
method of threats of withdrawal
of all support plus whatever mill
tary arrangements would be
necessary on the part of the
United Nations forces to en-
force a truce agreement and to
protect their own security.
Thus American assurances to
Mr.. Rhee. amounting to defens-
i've guarantees, appear to offer a
hopeful way out of the difficult
ties with relatively little time
remaining in which to act.
Presumably such guarantees
would be explicitly t!ehned to
make it clear that Mr.. Rhee was
not being given a go-ahead sign
for future military adventures
that the long range solution for
Korea would depend upon, so far
as can now be seen, on agree
mentS to be worked out in
future political negotiations.

Eden's S Pre-Surgery
Examinations Begun
BY the Assoeietsd Press

BOSTON, June 6.-British
Foreign Minister Anthony Eden
ran into BoSton's warmest day
Of the year today as specialists
at New England Baptist Hospital
began examinations in prepara-
ton for a gall bladder operation.
A hot sun pushed the mercury
into the mid 9os for the 55-year-
old statesman's first day in the
hospital after a transatlantic
flight that ended at Logan Inter-
national Airport shortly before
midnight last night.
A bulletin issued at Lahey
Clinic said Mr.. Eden arrived in
good condition" and added that
investigations of his condition"
began this morning. The bulletin
said DR.. Frank H. Lahey, inter-
nationally known surgeon and
head Of the clinic, "has been
asked to see him in consulta-
ton"
No date has been set for Mr..
Eden's operation. scheduled to
be performed by Richard B. Cat
tell, a member Of the clinic staff
since 1929. The 53-year-old spe-.
cialist perfected a surgical tech
nique for repairing bile ducts
that do not heal after surgery.
The surgery will be the third
operation for Mr.. Eden in two
months. He was operated on in
London for removal of gall
stones April IL and a few weeks
later underwent q second oper-
alton to remove fluids causing

Senator Bridges said there is
evidence that the program dupli-
Gates work done by other Federal
agencies.
"The real issue in this presen-
tation is whether the industrial
development program of MSA
falls within the objectives of
foreign aid which is now based
upon defense rather than gen.
eral economic assistance" Sem
ator Bridges said. IF it does
not, should it have the use of
funds appropriated for MSA?
This calls for an early answer
as expenditures are continuing
and new commitments are
being made"
Senator Humphrey, Democrat,
of Minnesota, also wrote Mr..
Stassen, asking for comment on
a proposal to exchange United
States food surpluses for stra-
tegic materials abroad.
Humphrey said he was con-
sidering offering an amendment
of this nature to the foreign aid
authorization bill now pending
before the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee.
1--WE should be exerting greater
efforts. I'm convinced, to making
the utmost use Of Americas
abundance as a humane weapon

throughout the world, and Avert

tries having to deal with Russia

Israel Lacks Room
For Many Arabs,
Lehman Tells UJA

Israel needs all it's territory
for its own people and cannot
settle "any significant number"
of Arab refugees within its bor-
ders, Senator Lehman told the
United Jewish Appeal national
action conference meeting last
night at the Mayflower Hotel.
The New York Democrat also
declared that Israel offers the
only hope of permanent refuge
for a majority of the 3 million
Jews now living in North Africa
and behind the Iron Curtain.
Senator Lehman addressed the
opening session of an emergency
two-day meeting of the UJA
called to raise $25 million to
finance an agricultural program
to help overcome a recent crop
failure in the Negey section of
Israel. Mutual Security Admin
istrator Harold Stassen also
spoke briefly. Abba S. Ebban,
Israeli Ambassador to the United
States, and Mrs. Golda Myerson,
Israeli Minister of Labor will
speak tomorrow.
Urges immigration Change.
The Senator said some few"
of the Jewish people seeking
refuge may be welcomed in
America" and for this reason
he urged drastic amendment of
what he termed the "cruel" Nc
Carran-Walter immigration act.
He expressed sympathy with
Arab refugees made homeless by
creation of independent Israel,
but he said they can and must
be absorbed in the great land
spaces of the Arab countries of
the Middle East.
They can be. with proper
planning and assistance, a great
human resource to make the
Arab deserts flower, as those of
Israel already have" he said.
He added that the United
States Government will serve
no high purpose by suggesting
that territory now a part of
Israel might not remain so, or
that any significant number of
the Arab refugees can be settled
in Israel" Israel, he said,
will need all its territory for
those Jewish refugees who
must find haven or find DEATH"
In a brief. carefully-phrased
statement which avoided all con-
troversial issues, MSA Director
Stassen said he and Secretary
of State Dulles on their recent
trip through the Near East
found an almost universal high
regard of the people and their
leaders for our President and
his ideals" He expressed con-
f1dence that the American peo-
pie in future years will demon
strate that man was meant to be
free" and will rise to the chal-
lenge inherent in the world posi-
tion and responsibility of leader
ship which is ours today"
DR.. Nahum Goldman, chair
man of the Jewish Agency for
Palestine, also spoke briefly,
stressing that American Jewry's
support of Israel will be increas-
ingly important as American
policy-makers become more in
tereSted in the Near East area.
