Delegates See Session
Bringing Ultimate Good

What does the Big White
House Conference on Education
look like to those who are taking
part in 1t?
To get q delegate's-eye view Of
the unprecedented four-day
meeting in the Sheraton-Parl
Hotel, The Star asked a score Of
participants for their views
They were asked what they
consider the most pressing need
in education today. what they
think the conference will accom-
phsh, what stands they will f.
nally take on controversial issues
such as Federal aid to schools
and the conference ban on vot-
ing.
These are highlights of their
replies:
Miss Selma Borchardt, Wash
ington representative of the
American Federation of Teachers
(AFL)-There has been a whole
some exchange of ideas here, but
don't think anybody's viewpoint
has been changed. It's unfor-
tunate that so many Governors,
In choosing their State represent
atives, picked people opposed to
Federal aid to education; we
strongly support Federal aid be-
cause it is necessary for the well
fare of the Nation.

mia School Boards Association
I oppose. and so does my organ
isation, any extension Of Federal
aid beyond the present degree.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-12-01

We could have Federal aid ad.
ministered by the administra.
ton Of each State. A program
to direct the aid where 1t is mos
needed, a program which coult
avoid the pressures Of loca
groups. I think the conference
will accomplish something.
DR.. Hurst r. Anderson, presi.
dent of the American Univer.
sity. Washington. D. Give
never seen a conference Of 2.oo(
people where it was easier to
get ones views heard and put
on the record. It is the best
public relations venture in
American education history.
We must resell ourselves on
the dignity Of the teaching pro-
fession and the worth of public
education. This conference Is
doing just that. We, the public
must realize that public educa-
ton is our baby.

tons fields of press. radio and

| Mr.. McManus said after his

fused to answer were about the

identify people of the New York
Newspaper Guild as members Of
| the Communist Party"
| Mr.. McManus was president of
the New York Newspaper Guild
from 1943 to 1947.
Il explained. he told reporters
after he left the hearing room,
THAT during my leadership of
/ the Guild I never made in
quiries as to the political affilia-
lions of my colleagues"
Mr.. McManus said he also had
been questioned about his en-
ployment on the New York Times,
where he said he had worked lat
jobs ranging from copy boy to
movie critic in the years 1921 to
1887"
He said later he also invoked
the Fifth Amendment in refus-
ing to state whether he was now
or ever had been member OF
the Communist Party.
Mr.. McManus was accom-
panied by James Aaronson. ex-
ecutive editor Of the Natiorf:
| Guardian. and Nathan Dambroft,

Asked to Repeat
Il thought she was dead and
II didn't touch her." Mr.. Weaver
said. He was asked to repeat his
answers so the microphoneS
could pick them up. Washburn
a neatly-dressed Houston busi-
ness man, looked up at the TV
camera occasionally as Mr.
Weaver testified.
/ Mr.. Weaver was the first wit
ness called. The case was trans
ferred here when an unbiased

Mrs. Viewers daughter. Helen,
as the killer Immediately after
the explosion.

two pistols, threatened to kill

check after the couples death.
Judge Halls Telecast
After the session Judge D. w,
Bartlett said the telecast was "a
very good thing for the viewing
public to see." Defense Attorney

process of law"
Although this was reported to
be the first live televising of a
murder trial. trials have been
filmed for TV use. Station
WBAP-TV, Fort Worth. began
filming trials for later televising
