MORE THAN 500 TEACHERS PLACED
THROUGH MPL0YENENT SERVICE

More than 500 teachers are in Mon
tana schoolrooms this month through
direct placement techniques of the
teacher placement sections of the
state employment service, according
to Chadwick H. Smith, chairman of
the unemployment compensation COM
mission.
placement activities of the Sec
tion," Smith reports, increased by
16 per cent during the last year, from
466 a year ago to 542 this year. In
hundreds of instances not included
in those figures the service has as
sisted school boards and administra-
tors in finding suitable teacher appli-
cants, and has assisted other hundreds
of teacher applicants in their quest
for teaching positions"
Not only teachers, but superintend-
ents and principals, have been hired
for positions through the regular
placement service. Records show the
hiring of superintendent and 13
principals to have been made this year
onreferral of applicants qualified for
those positions. This does not include
promotions from classroom to adj
post.
This service is performed with
out charge to the hiring boards or
the teacher applicants. 1t is a part
of the statewide and nationwide
employment service rendered to
virtually all branches of industry
and trade, to professional circles,
and to colleges and schools.
Confidence of school authorities
in effectiveness of the statewide
teacher placement unit as a public
service has been pyramiding during
recent years, Smith says. The service
was instituted in 1948 in response
to popular and professional demand
for central means for bringing to-

Igether the hiring school authority and
the qualified applicant.
Tested methods of placement are
applied to the teacher unit. Creden-
tials are procured, verified, and upon
request are submitted to school au-
thorities. Both parties to the potential
contract are consulted prior to actual
referral. Openings in Montana schools
to the number of 1906 were submitted
in the past year by school authorities.
Referrals averaged more than three
to each opening, giving wide range of
choice. Each referral is selected as
meeting the full requirements of the
hiring authority.
In cases of short supply, as at
present, the hiring board is some
times consulted with respect to
selecting applicant possessing
part of the required qualifications,
or qualifying along related lines.
Final choice and actual hiring is
the business of the school authori-
ties, not of the employment service
teacher section.
Approximately equal numbers of
men and women teachers are appli-
cants for positions and are placed
in teacher jobs, and fully a third of
the placements are teachers who have
had military service at some point IN
their careers. Last year 1874 teacher
veterans were hired through the serv-
Ice, the previous wear the number
was 153; women filled 274 positions,
men 268.
Active teacher applicants on Au-
gust 25 last numbered 207, a year
before the number was 242. Both
figures reflect the scarcity, according
20 Mr.. Smith, of qualified teacher
applicants in Montana, a condition
which appears to be prevalent on
nationwide basis.

But the hearings have shown dan
gerous tendency to delegate policy
making to representatives of groups
having a direct financial interest in

Congress has recognized this danger
and has attempted to reduce the poll

tending the Defense Production Act,
which passed just before adjourn

Another subcommittee, headed by
Congressman L. H. Fountain of North
Carolina, has turned up similar case
in the Agriculture Department. 1t is
the cheese deal, which cost American
taxpayers $21a million.
1t was disclosed that the Depart
ment last year paid cheese distribu-
tors SIC a pound for cheese, sold it
back to them soon afterward for
341 a pound, without the cheese
ever leaving warehouse shelves. The
Comptroller General ruled that this
deal was unauthorized and improp-
en-" Several of the companies which
got the most out of this deal had
members on Agriculture Secretary
Benson's special dairy industry ad-
visory committee. The two big win
ners in this jackpot were the Borden
Food Products Company and the
Kraft Foods Company, which made
more than ST million between them.
Both were represented on the adj
visory committee.
No one / know would argue against
bringing this nations best business
brains into government. But the use
of official position for private profit
cannot be condoned. The result will
be further legislation restricting the
activities of the woes.

''COMFLICT OF INTERESTS" GASES PRESENT
DANGEROUS PATTERN in GOVERNMENT
By CONG. LEE METCALF

Conflict of interest" and "WOCc'
are phrases you'll be reading LOT
about during the next session of Con
gress.
Conflict of interest" deals with
situations where government official
in doing his job may be subject to
undue pressure or influence because
of prior, or continuing, connections
with companies doing business with
the government.
"WOCs" are not husbands of
WACO. "WOC" stands for without
compensation" Today's woo" is
the successor to the "dollar-a-year"
businessmen, on loan to the govern
ment and who serves without being
paid by the government. His en-
ployer pays his salary while he is
working for the government.
The most publicized conflict of in
terest case is that of Harold E. Tai
bott, who admitted receiving $780,
900 in little over two years as a
partner in a private management con-
sultant firm while he was Secretary
of the Air Force. Testimony before
a Senate subcommittee revealed that
Talbot had used his official position
letters on Air Force sta
drum up business for his
firm among defense con-
tractors.
Talbot was one of the leading Re
publican campaign fund raisers in
1948 and 1852 presidential campaigns
and was personal friend of the presi-
dent and other party leaders. But
when his profitable sideline became
known, he wrote to President Eisen-
hover offering his resignation "be-
cause | would not in any circum-
stances wish to be a source of en-
oarrassment to you. The president
replied that he thought Talbott's de-
,ision to resign the fright one"
Another source of embarrass-
ment was the case of Adolphe Wen
cell, who served for several months
as consultant to the Budget Bureau
on the Dixon-Yates deal. At the
same time, Mr.. Wenzell was vice
president of the First Boston Cor
corporation, which later became the
financial agent for Dixon Yates.
Congressman Emanuel Celler of
Jew York heads House Judiciary

les of the woes.

No. problem of American education during the

Chapel Says
Farewell to
Local Parish
BY Mrs. John B. Diamond, III
Pc. 2-2312

With this week, Holy Week,
comes the end of Lent and the
advent of Easter - another JOY
Gus season. May the blessings
of Easter be yours.
Ascension Chapel in Gathers
burg, established by Prince
Georges parish many years ago,
has taken the first step towards
becoming an independent do
cesar unit.
On Feb. 10, the congregation
voted to separate the chapel
from the parish and become a
diocesan mission. AS of Apr. 1,
the separation became effective
and the Reverend Raymond P.
Black, who for Is years served
as pastor of Ascension Chapel,
ceased to be rector.
The Right Reverend Angus
Dun, Bishop of Washington, will
become rector with the Reverend
Stewart Labat as vicar. For the
past Is months, Mr.. Labat has
served as curate of Christ Church
and was in charge of Ascension
Chapel.
1t is with deep regret that he
will be leaving Christ Church,
since during his short tenure
there he and Mrs. Labat have
made many friends and have en-
deared themselves to the parish
toner's. 1t is equally regretful
by the members of ascension
Chapel that Mr.. Black will no
longer be their rector, for during
the many years he served in this
capacity he and Mrs. Black
made many fast friendships and
have shared joys and sorrows
with the Pensioners there.
However, we feel sure that
Ascension Chapel and all her
members will prosper steadily
through the years ahead and that
the change of status will speed
the day when it will be an indie
pendent parish.
On Sunday evening the choir
of Christ Church presented the
sacred cantata, ST h Cruel
fixion," by Sir John Stainer. The
notable presentation was direct
ed by John Preston, organist and
choirmaster of Christ Church.
Following the cantata, members
of the choir, along with their
wives and husbands, were served
refreshments by the Women's
Auxiliary. David E. Belts pre-
scented Mr.. Preston with a gold
cross and chain, a gift from
members of the choir, as a token
of their appreciation for his
services.
Tomorrow evening, Good Fri
day, the Rockville Methodist
choir invites the public to pro-
gram of Good Friday music at
S:15 in the Rockville Methodist
church. The featured work is

cording to st. Mark" by Charles

other daughter is Deborah.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reginald LOCKER
of Beall Avenue are very happy
and pleased these days for on

young Lockers. Young Sally is
delighted with her baby sister
and Mike thinks she is pretty
nice, too.
Another new RockVillian made
his appearance recently - young

of one month old at this point.
He is the new son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ed Hit. He was truly a
bouncing boy, weighing eight
pounds when he was born at
George Washington University
Hospital on Mar. 3. The Hits

who is nearly two.
And speaking of babies re-
minds us that another of Rock
ville's very youngest young men
- Cliff and Mary Anne Viers'
son - has had his maternal
grandmother here visiting him
and becoming acquainted with
him. Mrs. Anne Dawson of
Catletsburg, KY, is visiting Mr..
and Mrs. Viers and was here
when her newest grandson ar
rived.
Sunday afternoon, one of Rock
ville's very newest young ladies
was the center of attraction at a
christening tea at the home of
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John
F. Robertson. We are speaking
of young Cynthia Jane, aged five
months, who was christened at
the Rockville Methodist Church,
Palm Sunday, at the afternoon
service. The Reverend w. w.
Dodge, pastor of the church, per
formed the ceremony and DR..
