fend the program"
In suggesting that executive
orders be modified. Senator Nc
Carthy said congressional COM
|mittees should be given access to
security files in order to properly
|evaluate criticism Of the program.
Should you decide to divulge
to committees the information
to which they are entitled" Sem
ator Mccarthy continued, Il
shall, for my part. urge the Con-

of a committee or its staff be
permitted to examine the files
until he has received top secur-
Iity clearance. and that no spe-
Icific information be divulged to
the public that would. In the
Judgment of the executive, en-
danger national security. Sc
curity would thus be protected,
and congressional committees
would be in a position to pre-
sent to the American people a
balanced, informed report on the
administrations program
Senator Mccarthy defended
the suspension Of employees pend
ling investigation of derogatory
information He said the fact
that an employe is later cleared
means only that he was able to
explain the derogatory informa-

Senator Mccarthy, Republican
of Wisconsin, called on Presi-
dent Eisenhower today to take
the lead In defending the
Government security program
against what he described as a
full-scale attempt to discredit it
Iby '1eft-wing Democrats in al
lance with liberal-front organi-
cations"
His Office here made public a
letter to Mr.. Eisenhower in which
| the Senator made these recon-
mendations:
J. That the administration
change executive orders which
prevent security officers from
giving their side Of cases cited
as injustices.
2. If the secrecy orders are to
remain, the administration should
launch an educational campaign
to inform the public that 1t is
getting only one side Of the
story.
8. The President should take
personal leadership Of the de-
tense by devoting a major
speech to the subject in the near
future, and urge Republican
leaders "to take their positions
lin the line"
Secrecy Laid to Truman
"The left-wing Democrats and
the civil liberties cultists have
Init upon a remarkably effective
formula for discrediting the Sc
''curity program" the Senator
wrote. Thanks to the execu-
tive secrecy policy inaugurated
Iby President Truman-which
prevents the Government from
telling its side Of the story-the
lleft-wingers have only to pub
licize the alleged grievances OF
discharged Government workers
lin order to make their point that

The liberal press then gleefully
Iretells the employees story as
though it were the whole story
and the public is lead to believe
that the administration of the
security program is arbitrary,
brutal and unintelligent."
/ Senator Mccarthy singled out
the Ford Foundations Fund fol-
the Republic. "of which your per-
sonal friend and adviser, Mr.
Paul Hoffman, is chairman OF
the board" for criticism of its
approach to the security problem
"The Funds method of 'eval-

U. d. SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
Varied Answers TO Question in
Recent Survey Made

j Varied Answers TO Question in
/ Recent Survey Made
What does it take to make a
good elementary school teacher =?
/ Some surprisingly varied ans
wers to this question have been
supplied through the findings of
a recent survey conducted by DR..
Elizabeth c. Lloyd of the Univer-
sity of Delawares School of Edu-
cation.
DR.. Lloyd is adviser for the
University's conversion program
which is designed to train college
graduates with no previous teach
er training or experience for cer-
tification in the elementary schools
of the state. Recent question
naires which she has distributed
disclosed that almost anyone with
the desire to teach can be train
ed, regardless of age, education
background, or previous vocation.
From twenty-five replies, twas
learned that eleven present candi-
dates are from 2O-30 years of age,
nine from 30-40, three from 1880,
and two over so.
Among the prospective teach
ers are those with undergraduate
majors in speech, music, mathe-
mates, home economics. sociolo-
gy, English, theology, chemistry,
biology, mechanical engineering,
physical education, history, and
library science.
Present vocations include the
atre cashier, speech therapist,
high school teacher, football
coach, sales promotion executive,
college teacher, secretary, librar-
ian, research assistant, and social
worker.
DR.. Lloyd has conducted this
study in the hope that other per-
sons who may be considering a
change from their present voca-
tions to the teaching profession
will be encouraged by the success
of present students. Registration
for the second semester course
work in the conversion program
will be held on February 1, but
DR.. Lloyd will be happy to make
special appointments at any time
with persons interested in detail
ed information.
Opportunities for positions in
the teaching field are excellent.
Many openings are available with
in the State of Delaware.
During a five year period which
began in 1953-54, it has been cal
culated that 871 more teachers will
be needed in the public schools of
Delaware. This requirement is
needed to meet expanded enroll
ments.
In addition, it is necessary to
replace approximately 10 percent
of the states teaching staff an
nually. During the five year per-
iod in question an average loss of
230 teachers can be expected.
