Hypocrisy Charged
Against Democrats
On Housing Program

House Speaker Martin last
night accused the Democrats of
hypocrisy for their voting tactics
yesterday when the House de-
feated President Eisenhower's
proposal for 100000 new public
housing units.
The Massachusetts, Republican
said the Democrats ganged up on
Republican attempts to extend
the Federal public housing pro-
gram for one year to- provide
$4,000 additional units.
Mr.. Martin charged that the
Democrats weren't really inter-
ested in pushing the Presidents
proposal but were actually at
tempting to defeat the entire
public housing program.
Speaks to Maryland Group.
Mr.. Martin spoke to about $50
persons at the annual dinner
dance of the Prince Georges
Young Republican Club in the
Prince Georges Country Club.
He said the billions being
spent for defense would build
many a Peace Cross project,
many a school and many a hos
pital." But Americans demand
that our liberties be protected.
no matter how much it costs, p
he added.
Mr.. Martin defended the Re-
publican record in Congress, par
ticularly its tax cutting measure.
He said the Democrats were in
sincere when they proposed and
fought for even greater tax cuts
than proposed by the admins
tration.
Sees Crocodile Tears.
II saw those Democrats she'd
ding crocodile tears because we
were not giving enough tax re-
duction," the Speaker declared.

office, they never cut taxes once"

lican, of Maryland introduced
Speaker Martin. Senator Beall.

Pig Herd Being Built Up
AT Lorton, Totals 1900

The swine herd at the District
Reformatory at Lorton is gradu-

Clemmer, director of the De-

nounced today.
The herd now numbers about
1900 with about 400 new pigs

In October 1852, the herd of
3.100 pigs had to be destroyed
when disease struck them. Mr..
Clemmer started a new herd on
location away from the old pig
farm with 800 pigs from the
National Training School for
Boys. Later he purchased 400
from owners in South Carolina

Special D. {. Court
On Housing Asked in
Code Enforcement

The District Commissioners
have asked Municipal Court
Chief Judge Leonard P. Walsh
to set up a special housing court
to hear cases involving violations
of regulations relating to the
sanitary condition and safety of
property here.
The city heads suggested the
special court meet once a week.
It also would handle cases in
volVing all other municipal regu-
lations concerning buildings and
property in the District.
Judge Walsh said he has adj
vised the Board of Municipal
Court Judges of this suggestion
and that he expects that the
housing court will be established
shortly.
Stun Prevention Cited.
In a letter to Judge Walsh,
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
recalled that since September,
1858, the Commissioners have in
stitated a program to arrest
the. further deterioration of those
areas within the District, which,
although they may not now be
described as 'slum areas could
well become Slum areas were
such deterioration not halted"
The program of action out
lined at the time. Mr.. Spencer
wrote, involved the development
of housing code coupled with an
intensive effort to enforce ex-
tenSively existing laws and reg
ulationS pertaining to housing
matters.
Mr. Spencer noted that this
spring the Commissioners antici-
pate a definite increase in the
number of prosecutions for vio-
lations of numerous regulations
relating to the sanitary condi-
ton Of property and particularly
to the regulation on fences and
sheds.
Special Prosecutions.
Mr. Spencer asked that such |
prosecutions take place in a new
housing court, rather than in the
D. c. branch of the Municipal |
Court, at weekly sessions.
He said the Commissioners feel
that unless the housing court is
established, considerable time
may elapSe before the court !
reaches the cases of persons
charged with violations of regu- |
lations relating to the sanitary |
condition or safety of property, |
with resulting inconvenience to
members of citizens associations
who may be appearing as wit
nesses against such persons"

A Washington elementary
teacher told me the problem
is not how to get youngsters
interested in atomic energy,
but how to control their en-
thusiasm so it does not run
away with them. We had just
watched a sixth-grade boy

an array of mousetraps to

Sounds like a question some

ed to me that their kids have not been
getting the individual attention thai
they feel is needed. 1 agree that the
children in most schools of thirty and
forty students to the room don't, and
[ try to point out that the parents
need to give the schools a bit of in
dividual attention themselves. This is
not grippe on my part. 1t is an earn
est plea to urge that the other facets
of the situation be given the publicity
that they properly deserve.
We do not have mass education, we
have mob education.
To illustrate the drastic need for
buildings, let me point out that not
too recent surveys indicate need for
$4,000 teachers in the United States
to take care of the increased enroll
ments. If each teacher were to be as
signed 20 children, then the housing
problem becomes apparently one of pro-
viding room for 1,575,00 people. One
way to relieve unemployment.
PRESIDENT USED POOR JUDGMENT
L have just listened to the Presi-
dents Message to Congress and deep
ly feel that some remarks should have
been withheld in the interest of not
creating mob feeling respecting di-
vergent elements of political thot in
this country. Like all other political
mores wherein an administration is so
tenuOusly established as the present
one, felt that the speech did not state
precisely the position the administra-
ton would take In me, such a behavior
is viewed with misgivings and creates
sceptical confidence. The issues are no
more clear now than before, but the
emotion concerning the problems, is
much stronger. Such a condition is eX-
plosive. Shamefully, it has no reason
for being created, had better Judgment
been employed.

we had not yet decided upon.
The MVA has sent me a copy of the
report of the Missouri Survey Comm.
1 read it last night, and was impressed
with the good sense that it showed,
but was more impressed with the criti-
cism offered by the Directors. overall,

be made of the situation there
1 would like to mention also that
favor Professor Freeman's views con-
corning the selection of the Board of
Education In many respects, the teach
er is regarded as a lOWly individual
by the upper strata of the profession,
and it is true that the plain old class
room teacher has little chance TO make
his or her views felt even through the
MEA, let alone through the other chan
nels which lead to the office of the
State Board Of Education. BY following
Freeman's suggestion, the selection of
the Board would become of more in |
terest TO the teachers and it would also |
make it possible for the teacher to be !

Concerning the education problem in |
general, 1 would like to point out that |
too much emphasis has been placed on |
the raising of teachers salaries, and |
lot enough has been devoted to a far
more pressing problem than that, and
one that is of more general concern
