The time has come for the
United States to lift the curtain
a little on its vast atomic energy
development.
This was stressed at a fare
well press conference yesterday
by Gordon E. Dean, retiring
chairman Of the Atomic Energy
Commission.
Not only would more knowl-
edge of the actual status of the
program be useful in guiding
the thinking Of the American
public, he stressed. but it might
well have a deterrent effect on
any potential enemy.
1T would be a great pity" Mr..
Dean said, "if a war were started
by the Russians because they as
sumed we didn't have the power
to retaliate."
Russia should know, for in
stance, Mr.. Dean said, that the
United States has "a whole FAM
lily of A-bombs"-that those
dropped on Japan were just a
beginning Of the great develop
ment which has gone on over
the past eight years. We have,
he said, a family of atomic
weapons which includes new de-
signs Of almost any usable
energy release, and of almost
any size.
Development of an atomic en-
gine for a big aircraft carrier
probably will be well underway
next year. Mr.. Dean said. Sec
retary of Defense Wilson has
shown some GOODNESS towards the
project. He told a news con-
ference recently that atomic
power would be merely another
way" to power a carrier and
would not give a completely new
weapon.

Foe: Of Leave Rider
Seek House Action
Today on Repeal
By Joseph Young

House sponsors of the legis-
1ation to repeal the Thomas USE
it-or- -loSe-it annual leave rider
hoped for final House action to-
day on the measure, which would
send it to the White House for
President Eisenhower's signature.
The Senate already has ap-
proved the conference report on
the Legislation. but the pressure
Of other business has caused the
House to set the leave bill aside
for thte past few days.
Chairman Rees of the House
Civil Service Committee said he
is confident the conference re-
port will be approved, despite the
opposition Of some House men,
bers.
Effective June 29.
The measure is retroactive to
June 20, which means that, even
though it became law after that
date, it would not deprive Fed
eral workers of their unused 1852
annual leave. The Thomas leave
rider requires Federal workers to
use their unused 1852 leave by
June 80. Enactment of the new
legislation, even after June 80,
would nullify the Thomas riders
requirement.
Representative Thomas, Demo-
rat, of Texas, author of the
Thomas rider, opposes the legis-
lation to repeal his amendment
and will seek to send it back to
conference. Mr.. Thomas said his
rider is an effective way to pre-
vent leave abuses by employees.
In a surprise move, James
Campbell, president of the AFL
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees, wrote to Repre-
sentative Bennett, Democrat, of
Florida, also opposing the bill.
Opposes Restrictions.
Mr.. Campbell feels the new
legislation doesn't go far enough
in erasing the Thomas rider. He
objects to the fact that the bill
does not allow Federal workers
with 80 or more days of annual
leave to accumulate additional
leave each year. He also objects
to the provision that would deny
widows Of deceased employees
cash payment for unused annual
leave for the current year.
Mr.. Campbell'S stand was
challenged Immediately by other
AFGE members, who said he was
not speaking for the rank-and-
file membership. These members
declared that, even though the
legislation is far short of perfec-
tion, it at least repeals that 1852
leave use-it-or-lose-it provision.
They declare that imperfections
In the new bill can be corrected
next year.
Unanimous Report.
These members contend that
q successful move to send the
measure back to conference
might jeopardize the whole bill.
Despite the latest develop
ments, Mr.. Rees said he is sure
the House will adopt the con-
ference report. He pointed to
the fact that the House-Senate
conference report was unani-
nous, supported by Democrats
and Republicans alike.
The Defense Department re-
organization bill also was sched-
uled for House action. Mr.. Rees
hopeS~for House action on the
leave bill before it takes up the
reorganization measure. If not,
Mr.. Rees says the leave bill will
be taken up when the House

Inadequate
Housing Laws

WASHINGTON (NC) - Stun
clearance and redevolepment
projects in Americas large cities
have been pushed forward with
out adequate rehousing provisions
for those disposseSsed by them, &C.
cording to MSgr. John C'Grady,
secretary of the National Confer
ence of Catholic Charities.
In a statement before subeom-
mittee of the Advisory Committee
on Government Housing Policy and
Programs. Monsignor 0'Grady said
that public housing is essential"
to urban redevelopment programs,
and that 'there is no alternative. :"
"Pvblie housing" he said,
Should be made . part Of an
overall program for slUm clear
anee and for the whole redeveI-
opment Of the blighted areas OF
our cities" The general pattern
of slUm clearance work thus FAR,
according TO the prelste, is that
families dispossessed from areas
being cleared cannot pay the
regular economic rents, and so
press into other areas and thus
spread blight.
! The Catholic Charities leader as
serted that overall redeveIopment
plans, IF they are TO be success
iul, must be the product of the
thinking of various groups in our
neighborhoods"
While the work OF expert plan
ners might be good on paper, he
indicated, it can't achieve its pur.
pose in neighborhood unless it
Incorporates the thinking of the
neighborS themselves and "all peo-
pie who are interested in eonserv-
ing and improving our democratic
way of life"
Monsignor 0Grady warned that
public housing must be part Of an
integrated prog ram, suggesting
that otherwise it is doomed to fail
ure. "This MEANS" he said, "that
ii should 60 hand-in-hand with an
overall housing program that pro-
vides not only for low-income peo-
pie but also for the middle
income people. II must 90 hand-in-
hand with public Improvements,

'Dlasphemously labeled 'prOgres-
sive' and democratic"
The Cardinal asked for support
OF the local school boards, which
he said are uniformly composed
of the good, common-sense men of
a community" and declared that
the philosophy Of progressivism"
is held by relatively few profes-
sional rank and file educators.
Cardinal Mcintyre gave the open
ing lecture in the fourth annual
Christian Culture series here.
Speaking on 'The Great Debate
in Public Education he noted that
propagandists for "our largest edu-
cational association" have describ-
ed participants in the debate as
the "authoritarians" and the adj
herents of democratic" education.
So-csIied democratic and pro-
gressive schooling, ne said, is
based or "a philosophy of edues-
tion which turns aside from fhe
heritage of the ages, the wells of
our liberties, fhe trials and fri-
Umphs of the race, the wisdom
of the centuries, and centers its
gsze on the tvmUIfovs whim of
fhe moment.
''Here is a philosophy which
dismisses as naive and as no long
er relevant the splendor Of our
Christian patrimony." the Cardi-
nal-Archbishop continued.
'Here is a philosophy which pre-
sumes'to provide intelligent leader
ship without arduouS training of
the mental processes, which pre-
sumes to give strength of character
without rigorous discipline of ev-
cry urgent appetite and emotion,
an education without God, without
soul, without Immortality = every
strain of it crudely materialistic-
an education which if its inroads
are not checked will surely reap
the whirlwind for this blessed land
Of sanctuary"
Assumed knowledge
The self-styled democratic group,
according to Cardinal Mcintyre,
has been organizing citizens com
missions for education in most of
the large cities. "This commission
arrogates to itself the presumed
superior knowledge of these pro-
fessionaI educators and seems to
imply very definitely that these
nebulouS theories are far bet
ter than tine traditional principles
of education which have served us
well down the years" he said.
"They are striving to obtain the
prestige of names and numbers TO
bring pressure upon those local
school boards which they consider
recalcitrant
Therefore, in this crisis in edu-
cation, it is important that the
spirit of true American traditions
be alert and watchful. 1t is impera-
