him. Seems like he has been going
to school all of our married life
and it isn't all over yet. The school
he is next headed for is advanced
training for jets, in Sacramento
and then he will return to Kansas
and have more schooling in Witch
ita, Kansas. / sent him an article
this week which tells about Cen

the news to the world that soon

likely, be another school in Hayes

Businessmen To Blame For Our
Inefficient Schools

schools and among business men is
getting worse and worse. The
Army-McCarthy hearings in Wash
ingtOn are an illustration of this
useless confusion.
Since businessmen say our youth
are coming to know less and less
about less and less, perhaps a re-
search project to determine exact
ly what our schools do teach might
be a starting point. This might be
followed by a movement to over
haul courses of study i'm the light
of what research may reveal would
best serve the interests of all.
What About Discipline!
Discipline is a major national
need. General S. L. A. Marshall, of
the Detroit News, intimates that
our soldiers on the Korean battle
front lacked discipline,-which had
something to do with the way
things went in Korea. There are
further implications that lack of
discipline in our schools contrib
utes to Juvenile delinquency and is
threat to our national security.
Are these the real problems or
are they the symptoms of a funda-
mental problem? May it not be
that inability to comply with regu-
latiOns, whether of the Army,
the home, or the community, stems
from lack of self-mastery? Should
not our society develop people with
qualities of self-discipline to de-
velOp initiative and intelligence?
Shortage OF Teachers
The teacher shortage is another
problem. During 1854, it is indicated
there will be shortage of $4,000

BABSON:

BabsOn Park, Mass, May q.
Schools and colleges cannot be
divorced from business. In the
long run, business has only the
kind of leaders and workers that
the schools produce. Today. manv
business and educational leaders
are expressing concern about the
educational product. Free public
education appears to be watering
down our great tradition of disci-
pline and struggle.
Yet, others say that while we
have taught people how to make
money, we have failed to teach
them how to use it properly. The
most damning criticism is that our
system is one of education for
mediocrity; we pull the bright
child downward as we try to drag
the dull child upward. This results
in a mediOcrity of conformity.
Army-McCarthy Hearings
President Eisenhower said only
last December that he has been
APPALLED," at the lack of our youths
understanding of what America
is, what are the conditions that
could make her fight, and there
fore, what are the underlying rea-
sons that could lead that boy finally
on the battlefield to risk his life. not
just for property. not just for even
what you might call national rights,
but for some fundamental values
in life"
AS businessmen and as educators,
we have been unwilling to be clear
and coherent about what we want
the United States to be. Conse-
quently, the confusion in the
Milford chronicle., 1954-05-28
Back On The Track


In answer to a question at his
press conference and authorizing
direct quotation, President Eisen-
hover declared that he had mo
intention of relaxing or rescind-
ing" the Executive Order that
threw the Army-McCarthy hearing
into a spin and stopped cold the
greatest TV show of all time.
Under this order, Army Counsel
John G. Adams and White House
aides who attended the January
2lst meeting in Attorney General
Herbert BrOwnell's office, are for
hidden to testify on the subject.
Mr.. Adams had previously testified
that Presidential Assistant Sher-
man Adams had instructed him at
this meeting to compile a written
report on the pressure exerted bv
Senator Mccarthy and Roy Cohn
in behalf of Private G. David
| SChine.
Denial of the Adams testimony
came from Army Secretary Robert
Stevens at the PentagOn-shOrtly
after the press conference in which
the President had indicated Mr..
Stevens would have a statement. "I
wish to make it perfectly plain"
said the Secretary, that the de-
clslOns and the acts on the part
OF the Army .. were the decisions
and the acts of the Army alone. At
no time did the Army or | as its
Secretary receive any orders from
anyone in respect to the prepar-
alton or presentation of the Army
case"
The President went on to explain
to the reporters that the now
famous meeting had been called to
discuss IAN Executive Order of
long standing" that had prevented
some witnesses from answering
some questions. Far from me try
ing to get the investigation off the
track" he said, Il was merely try
ing with the timely statement ia
keep it on the track" He was
surprised at the suspension, he
said, and wanted the investigation
to continue. Let the chips fall
where they may" he said.
It would seem that the President
who demanded of his running-mate
during the campaign that he refute
some nasty charges and prove him
self "clean as a hounds tooth,
requires a similar demonstration
from the Army whether some OF
his advisors do or not.

From June 1st to 18th, the CO.
operating cleaners will clean your
flag free of charge if you promise
to add your cOlors to what will
surely be the most massive display
of our National Emblem since
Betsy Ross stitched on the thir-

Day poster in your cleaners win
dow and the local Legion Post is
at your service if you need help or
advice on proper display.
Our national ensign belongs to
every citizen of the United States, 4"
says National Commander Arthur
J. COnnell in his Flag Day appeal.
1T is a symbol of the precious
principles of Americanism and of
our renewed effort to secure the
goal of liberty and justice for all.
"At time when tyranny and dis
regard for established institutions
have taken hold in wide areas of

remind ourselves of the values
which unite us as Americans"
In urging us all to join with The
Legion in proper flag display and
flag etiquette, Commander Connell
says: Help us bring New Glory
to Old Glory so that all the
world may know that this remains
the land of the free and the home
of the brave"
And as we stand proudly beneath
the massed cOlOrs on June 14th-
and again of course, on July 4th-

mittee, that the question comes up

While Russia can veto all amend
ments, Francis o. Wilcox, staff ex-
pert, still thinks the review is a
good idea. He also admits that we
would probably object to a revision
that would empower the UN TO use
our soldiers without our consent
Maybe it would be simpler to
merely object to the UN-and stop

SHORT-SIGHTED PROPOSALS.

Advocates of the proposals in the Senate
70 increase personal income tax exemptions
from the present $500 to as much as $1,000
seem to disregard the bad effects this would
have not only on today's economy but also
upon that of the years ahead.
Excusing one taxpayer out of every three
from paying any Federal income tax what
ever, depriving the Treasury of $4,000, ,OOO,-
600 in revenue, and further increasing the
staggering national debt of $275, ZOO, 100000,
would result from adoption of these short
sighted proposals.
They would mean saddling future gener-
ations with an overwhelming burden of debt
and taxation. But, as the political cynics
point out future generations can't vote to-
dav!

And it is just as wrong now that the unions

ONE DOWN?
President Eisenhower and Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles are having a little
trouble with their dOminOeS. At an April
press conference, the President likened the
inter-dependence of Southeast Asia to row
of standing dOminoes, declaring that if one
state fell the others must fall with it.
After the fall of Dien Bien Phu, and the
launching of the Red drive on Hanoi, Secre-
tary Dulles indicated that he thought the
IndO-Chinese domino could fall without
bringing down the rest. He nevertheless
stressed the Importance of the area to the
Asia-Patifc pact he seeks. eve do not give
up III despair" he said. "Also we do not
give up Vietnam, Laos or CambOdia"
President Eisenhower told his press con-
ference on the following day that our pres
ent effort is through a unifying influence to
build that row OF dOminOes so they could
stand the fall of one, if necessary. He added
CnaC ne dlUn Chlnk the Tree world ought to
write off IndO-China, that long faces and de-
featism didn't win battles.
Speaking of his ASian-Pacific security
pact, Mr.. Dulles also said, 81 believe that
the commitments should be of such a char
acter that if they (the member cOuntries)
were openly challenged we would be pre-
pared to fight, just as our similar commit
ments carry that implication in relation to
the. North Atlantic treaty, the Anzus
treaty, the Philippine treaty, the Rio treaty
and so forth"
We can at least hope, in the face of this
prospect, that Mr.. Dulles will arrange mat
ters so that if worst comes to worst we will
be permitted to allow Chiang's Chinese Ma
tiOnalists and South Koreans to help us-and
if and when we have the Reds on the run, to
have the privilege of going in after them.
We should not inject ourselves into the game
as just another domino.
