Canada Isn't Keen on Joint Defense

commander had to choose between a
tight defense of vital United States
targets and a not-so-tight defense
of those targets plus what might
seem to him the not-so-vital Cana
dian targets.
Mr.. Coles reply is that Canada
: Is essential to the effective prosecu-
ton Of a war. It is to our interest
to defend her industrial potential
just the same as our own"
The Canadian comeback is that
the United States supreme COM
mander, not Representative Cole,
would be making the tactical de-
ciSionS.
Political Objections
In the final analysis, however, a
unified command in any situation
short Of the direst emergency would
not be acceptable to Canada on
political grounds. Canada is senSi-
tive on the question of national
sovereignty.
Canada has long taken the same
attitude toward Great Britain, and
has repeatedly torpedoed British
efforts to formalize and tighten
British commonwealth ties by such
devices as a commonwealth cabinet
or council of ministers, and common
foreign, military and trade policies.

President Eisenhower has vigor-
ously stated that the executive
branch Of the Government has its
security problem under control and
is well able to police itself. But
what about that branch of the Gov
eminent. Congress, which has been
badgering the executive into taking
more stringent security steps?
Are the Congress and its hundreds
of employees under the same rigid
security system as the executive, or
do security risks, in the broad. legal
definition Of the word, exist on Capt.
tol Hill?
The answer to these questions is
clear. The legislative branch of the
Government has never passed the
necessary laws or changed its rules
to establish the machinery neces-
sary to safeguard confidential ma
terial to which it has access. The
Federal Bureau Of Investigation has
been given no legal authority to re-
port on members of Congress and.
until q security system is set up,
they have no one to whom they can
submit their reports for ultimate
Judgment.
Voluntary Clearance
It is true that some groups in
Congress have seen the need for
formal security clearance. The
Joint Committee on Atomic Energy
and its staff have voluntarily sub
nitted to clearance by the Atomic
Energy Commission and Chairman
Leverett Saltonstall of the Senate
Armed Services Committee has
mulled over the problem this way:
II believe that all members Of
both Houses Of Congress should be
cleared for access to secret material.
There are. however, certain practical
difficulties to iron out. such as the
terrific burden which would be
placed on the overloaded personnel
Of the FBI. also believe that mem
bers Of Congress should do their ut
most to employ on their stan men
and women Of outstanding honor
and integrity"
Some Congressional committees
such as the Senate Internal Security
group get detailed FBI reports on
their staff members. but this Is for
informal guidance only. Actual Sc
curity clearance (evaluation Of the
raw FBI reports) belongs in the
hands of disinterested. independ-
ent board. Such a board could clear
not only staff members but the
Congressman themselves.
A security risk is q person who
directly or indirectly divulges or
causes to be divulged-or could be
expected to divulge in the future
to unauthorized persons information

lie school construction. Details of
the bill now are being worked out
by the Senate subcommittee on Ed
ucation.
Mrs. Hobby has refused to support
the bill. She told the subcommittee
action should be postponed until
after a series of State and White
House conferences on education are
held. Until the conferences are COM
pleted, she said, it would be impos-
sible to determine what construction
and what aid is needed. And after
surveys of local resources are made.
she said, it probably will be found
that most or all of the job can be
financed locally.
The NEA, the American ASSocia-
ton of School Administrators and
the National Congress Of Parents
and Teachers have objected before
the subcommittee to any such delay.
And Congress seems to be inclined
to frustrate Mrs. Hobby's plans for
the conferences.
The House approved bill two
weeks ago to call the series Of con-
ferences, but it struck out authoriza-
ton of 81 million to finance the
get-togethers. So unless the Senate
puts the money back in, the Feder-
ally sponsored meetings will have to
be paid for by the States. Complete
participation then would be un-
likely.
Work-Lood Block
No matter what happens to the
conference plan, it is doubtful that
the school construction bill can be
passed this year. The remaining
work load of Congress is just too big.
It probably will be a major issue next
year, however. and again a bone Of
contention between the schoolmen
and the Department Of Health. Edu-
cation and Welfare.
There may be a further complica-
ton next year. BY then the States
should have Q rough idea Of the
school construction that will be
needed to provide adequate facilities
under the new integration programs.
That win no doubt bring more re-
quests for Federal aid for school
building.
It might, in time, bring revival
of general aid plans. Broad aid-to-
education bills were killed by the
House committee in 1948 and 1949
when Congressman could not agree
on extending aid to parochial schools.
The South's need for better schools
may make it more and more difficult
for the administration to get the
Federal Government out Of the field

sons. At the rate thus far in 1854,
339 more motorists will be living
next December 81.
Maryland has been using radar
speed checks throughout the State
since last June. and State police
at Waterloo report that, although
"it plays big part in cutting down
accidents, radar alone is not re-
sponSible" for the reduction. But
only five deaths were reported on
the busy Baltimore-W Washington
boulevard in the first four months
of 1854. The figure for the same
period last year was IA. Despite the
fact that the new expressway has
relieved the boulevard of much
traffic, Waterloo troopers say radar
enforcement has played big part.
Roaming Equipment
There are no plans at present in
Virginia for such calculated decep-
tion as is used by Mr.. Scheidt's men
in North Carolina. But Virginia'S
radar equipment also will be moved
about the State from day to day, and
there will be no way a motoriSt can
know when he's being checked. The
only warning will be signs reading,
Speed Checked by Radar," which
will be placed on highways at the
State line and at limits of towns of
more than $500 population. Special
attention, however, will be given to
such high-speed highways as U. S.
Route l and Shirley highway.
In June, Virginia will use radar
mostly just to warn speeders, but be-
ginning July l, whenever the beam
picks up a speeder, he'll be arrested.
says Inspector P. w. Crews Of the
Department of State Police.
I'VE do not intend nor desire to
make wholesale arrests for speeding.
We just want to control speed through
voluntary compliance in order to re-
duce fatalities" Inspector Crews
says.
But the unseen eye will be watch
ing, and no driver will know where.

Compliance with the Supreme
Court ruling on racial integration
of the public schools is only one OF
the major problems facing the Ma
tons educators today. Another less
publicized problem lies in outguess-
ing the administration on its atti-
tude toward Federal aid to education.
National teachers organizations
are worried, specifically, that Sec
retary Oveta Culp -Hobby's Depart
ment of Health, Education and We'll
fare would like to end Federal aid
programs which many school sys-
TENS have come to depend on.
Spokesman for Mrs. Hobby insist
she is supporting firmly the existing
aid programs-but some straws in
the wind seem to be blowing the
other way.
Congress, meanwhile, stands in
the middle, sensitive to the home
town pressure for help in building
up public schools, but mindful of
the Republican Party's philosophy
of lower budgets and less welfare
legislation. The voices of the folks
back home seem to be little ahead
in the contest right now.
The Proeroms
Principally at stake are these
existing Federal aid programs:
. Construction - School systems
affected by Federal activities-large
defense installations, for instance
are given Federal money to build
and operate added school facilities.
Upward of 5000 million a year is
being spent on this program.
. Vocational Education-More than
$18 million will go to the States
in the current fiscal year to en-
courage local spending for larger
and more effective vocational pro-
grams. This field of education is
designed to train young people who
will be farmers, distributors of goods,
industrial workers and homemakers.
Q Land Grant Schools - Under
the 1862 Land Grant School Act.
SIS million q year is divided among
50 schools in the Nation, many on
the college level. This program is
especially important to Negro schools
in the South.
o School Lunches-The Agricul-
ture Department handles the school
lunch program. providing noon meals
for the youngsters at proposed cost
for the coming year Of about $218
million in cash and surplus COM
modities. State governments add to
this total.

with the end hopefully but by no
means surely in sight.
Before the investigation finally is
concluded, the Senators who have
undertaken the inquiry might well
wish they had followed the example
of another Congressional investi-
cation in resolving issues strikingly
similar to some of those involved in
the Mccarthy Army controversy.
This was the investigation of tax
scandals conducted three years ago
by the House Ways and Means

recommendation to restore the
money.
A showdown on the bill to re-
write the vocational education laws
still is pending. Such conservative
States Fighters as Senator Walter
F. George, Democrat, of Georgia are
leading the fight for more Federal
aid to vocational schools. And in a
recent survey by the American Vo-
cational Association, 81 out Of 80
State Governors and directors of
education expressing an opinion
said a reduction in Federal aid would
have a sharply harmful effect on
local vocational training. Mrs. Hob
by will not have easy going.
Congress blocked the administra-
ton last year on another attempt
to cut an existing program. The
Agriculture Department wanted to
cut the cash appropriation for the
school lunch program by $15.2 mil
lion. Congress restored the slash
and added an extra 100000.
Construction Issue
Another conflict has arisen re-
Gently between teachers and Mrs.
Hobby over a proposed new Federal
aid program in constructing schools.
Three Southern conservatives,

which could threaten our national
security.
This definition not only includes
Communists and fellow travellers, but
also any one whose background and
personal habits leave an opening
for blackmail or coercion. In the
latter category falls the blabber-
mouth, the heavy speculator, the
habitual drunkard. the homosexual,
the playboy. the man with relatives
in enemy hands, the heavy debtor,
and so forth.
The Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy is not the only committee
which has access to secrets which
could endanger. national security.
The Armed Services and the Foreign
Relations committees of both Houses
have access to much confidential
and vital data. Even the commit
tees on agriculture can learn secrets
concerning our food supply; banking
committees can learn secrets which
an enemy could use to ruin our cur
rency; appropriations committees
can learn the extent Of our stock
pile Of strategic materials, and the
various security committees and sub
committees have demonstrated that
they have access to confidential in
formation.
Questionable Coses
The personnel Of congressional
committees are constantly changing
due to changes in the political winds,
retirementS, promotions or deaths.
Members are appointed because of
their particular aptitudes In some
cases, but mainly because Of their
political allegiance coupled with
seniority.
Senior committee members choose
the hired star hands. And any Con-
gresham belonging to the right
political party can become chairman
Of an important committee.
It IL remotely possible that an
other person like former Represen-
tative Marion Zionchek. wild. neu-
rotic and finally . suicide. might
become chairman Of q committee.

Wheat Acreage
AllotmentS for 1855
Crop Are Probable

Although no official announce
ment has yet been made the pres
ent large supply Of wheat indicates
that acreage allotments are almost
certain to be required fol the 1855
crop, it was announced by II, Rob
ert Dewitt, chairman of the County
ASC Committee. In view of this
preparations are now being made
to establish allotments for the
wheat farms in this county.
If allotments are required one
will be established for all farms
that are known to have produced
wheat during any one of the years
1852, 1853 and 1854. Allotments
will not be established for other
farms except upon request. Farms
on which no wheat was produced
during any of these years but on
which wheat will be planted for
harvest in 1855 are termed "new
wheat farms" June 30. 1854, has
been established as the final date
on which allotments may be re-
quested for "new wheat farms. -
All farmers in this group are urged
to contact the County ASC office
at Oakland and file a request for
an allotment before this date.
1t is important that an allotment
be established for each farm on
which wheat will be seeded for
harvest in 1855, Mr.. Dewitt stated.
Under the present law, if market
ing quotas are again voted in by
wheat farmers, persons who plant
more than Is acres of wheat for
harvest as grain without an allot-
ment large enough to cover their
planted acreage will be required

Christmas Day

Christmas is, above all else, the
day on which we recognize the
Nativity Of Christ, It has been so
since the fourth century, when the
Western Church officially adopted
December 25th as the date Of the
birth Of the Saviour.
Since that time. this greatest Of
all events has completely fore
Swallowed every historical event
occurring on the same day. Ask
anyone to tell you of something
else in history that happened on
December 25th other than the
birth Of Christ, and chances are
they will give you a negative an.
swer.
A few win remember that it was
on this same date that George
Washington crossed the Delaware.
Only a true student Of history will
tell you that the date marks the
birthday OF Isaac Newton, Clara
Barton and Frances Blake. among
others.
Actually. the fact that Washing
ton crossed the Delaware on
Christmas Is all the average
American should be expected to
remember. But. it's interesting to
note some of the other events that
happened on the same day:
In 1887. the Battle of Okeecho-
bee.
In 1871. japanese captured Hong
Kong.
In 1892. wreck of the Santa Ma
ria, at Haiti
In 1926 Hirohito became Emper-
or Of Japan.
It was also on Christmas day,
in 1947. that ChInas constitution
was adopted and went into ef-
feet. making the date China's Ma
tional Renaissance Day. And,
Christmas is also the birthday Of
the town Of Kelso. Washington, set
