Canadian-American cooperation on
continental defense is both close and
satisfactory. The Canadian govern
ment has not had an opportunity
to express its views formally be-
cause the United States Government
has made no formal approach to
Ottawa. But Canadian leaders who
have commented privately on the
Cole proposals leave no doubt as
to what their answer would be-. ~
Congressman Cole. who is chair
man of the Joint Congressional
Committee on Atomic Energy, be-
lieves the continents security would
be greatly increased by the virtual
integration Of Canadian and Amer
ican forces which are or would be
earmarked for home defense.
This could best be achieved. he
told this correspondent in an inter-
view, under q North American de-
fenSe treaty-a sort of two-country
unified continental defense COM
mand with a supreme commander
like NATO's Gen. Alfred Gruenther.
Canadians take 1t for granted
that the supreme commander would
have to be an American general. A
high Defense Department official
posed the question of what would
happen to Canada If the American

vocational education program as a
good example Of how we'll admins
tered Federal aid can benefit a neg
lected field Of education.
It is Mrs. Hobby's proposals for
vocational education which are cited
as the most convincing evidence that
Mrs. Hobby wants to take the Fed
eral Government out of the school,
aid programs. Last year she pro-
posed that the Federal contribution
to vocational education be cut by
Is per cent. This year she recon-
mended a per cent cut. At the
same time. the Department Of Health,
Education and Welfare helped pre-
pare bill to rewrite the vocational
education laws to make it easier to
cut funds in the future and to drop
one part Of the Federal aid program
the setting of minimum standards
of instruction for vocational schools
Chose standards are enforced by
State and local governments).
The National Education Associa-
ton and the American Vocational
Association, two national teachers
organizations. did not support Mrs.
Hobby's proposals. In fact. they
helped convince Congress last year
that all the vocational money should
be restored; and in the middle Of
the 1853 economy wave the proposed
Is per cent cut was voted down.
Another Cut Restored
This year the pressure mounted
against the 8 per cent reduction.
This time the Executive gave way
voluntarily and amended the budget

OTTAWA. - Renewed American
suggestions that Canada and the
United States pool their continental
defense forces in a single unified
command have encountered strong
hostility in Canada.
Reaction Of both political and
military leaders in this country is so
definitely against q NATO-like su-
preme command for North America,
as proposed by Congressman Sterling
Cole, Republican. of New York as
to rule out the idea.
Conodions Fight Plons
Official Canadian opinion has
crystalized against the plan during
the past year. When General of the
Army Omar Bradley spoke out last
summer in favor of an identical pro-
posal. Canadian military leaders
admitted it would be "a logical de-
velopment" Of existing military CO.
operation between the two countries.
Even then, however, Canadian politi-
cal leaders here rejected the Bradley
Cole proposal as unnecessary, not
in Canada's best interests, and as
infringing on Canadian sovereignty.
There has been no official Cana
dian statement on the subject aside
from a comment by Defense Min
lister Brooke Claxton that present
Evening star., 1954-05-30

toward these programs was summed
up in this years budget message:
"ThiS budget marks the beginning
of a movement to shift to State and
local governments and to private en-
terprise Federal activities which can
be more appropriately and more
efficiently carried on in that way.
Some aspects Of our health,
education and welfare programs are
examples of this type of action"
Secretary Hobby Speoks Up
Mrs. Hobby got a bit more specific
last year when she asked Congress
to cut the vocational education pro-
gram. She said she was convinced
that "the States and local COM
munities throughout the Nation are
in better position, fiscally speaking.
to assume this part Of the total cost
of programs than is the Federal
Government"
National school organizations,
however, believe the Federal Govern
ment often can make q key con-
tribution to local schools. under GER
tain conditions. The principal condi-
ton is that Federal aid not mean
Federal control.
The case for Federal aid is this:
Education of a mobile population is
a national problem. Many States
with low per capita incomes spend
proportionately large amounts for
schools, but still cannot provide ade-
quate education. Federal aid can
even out the inequalities and can
also stimulate State and local spend
ing through matching programs.
Schoolmen frequently point to the

Does Congress Need q Security Check?

state and Foreign Commerce Com
mittee.
At present one Representative,
Robert L. Condor. Democrat, Of
California. is still awaiting clearance
from the Atomic Energy Commits
sion after having been denied the
right to view atomic tests for Secu-
rity reasons. (He maintains the
trouble stems, from attacks by po-
litical opponentS.)
In regard to the committee stats.
some attempts have been made
to find out If any staff mem
bers are security risks. On March
6. the Senate approved q resolution
by Senator Pat McCarran, Dem
ocrat. Of Nevada. to require that all
Senators and all Senate committees
submit lists of members of their
stats to the FBI and the Central
Intelligence Agency with a request
to these agencies that they report
any derogatory information in their
files bearing on the individuals
listed.
The type of clearance which would
result from these reports. formerly
called interim clearance" has long
ago been discarded by the Depart
ment of Defense as inconclusive and
dangerous. It is the prime con-
Germ Of every foreign agent that the
FB1 possess no derogatory infor-
nation concerning them.
Another weakness Of this reSo-
luton is the lack Of definite pro-
vision for the listing Of unpaid in
vestigators like G. David Schine.
No provision at all Is made for
private Investigators, such as those
on Senator McCarthy's personal
payroll.
Infringement of Rights?
Senatorial tradition and custom
have Jagged far behind the rapidly
changing security situation. As
elected representatives Of the vari-
Gus sovereign" States, Congress-
men jealously guard their preroga-
tives and immunitieS. They ques-
ton whether 1t would not be an
infringement on the peoples right
to be represented fully in Congress
II an elected officer were curtailed
in his work because Of security rules.
The FBI respects this position.
The organization has said it would
not investigate and report on mem
bers Of Congress.
The Constitution, however, says
that leach House shall be the judge
Of the :. qualifications Of its own
members" A security program
organized and administered by Con-
gress itself could be set up under
that provision.
Until some such action is taken,
large gap in the Nations security
wall will remain.
