The surface stress Of Milton
Sperling's picture is not laid
upon these. of course. His story
has the perfect movie hero in
Gen. Mitchell, the reckless fight
ing man who was willing to take
on the Army and Navy single
handed. The value of this is
exploited to the hilt, and even
beyond, but if time and events
proved Mitchell so right as a
prophet, who is Sporting not to
exonerate him as man who
fought as hard in peace as in
war?
All this, plus the fact that the
issues with which Washington
seethed 80 years ago are still so
timely, makes THE Court-Mar-
tial of Billy MITCHELL a lively
and interesting film.

Cooper's Mitchell was a great

screenscript comedies by in
ference here and there, he was
also one who believed that an
Army officer owed it to his
country to fight for it in the

His firmest conviction, follow
ing World War l. was that the
airplane was the weapon of the
future. Next in order, came his
conviction that this would be
ignored by the high. reactionary
brass of the older services. BY
1921, he had goaded the latter
into letting himself and the Air
Corps take few pot shots at
the Ostfriedland, a captured
German vessel.

Mitchell used two-tonners from

No significant dent in Amer
ica's classroom shortage is likely
before 1860 if Congress fails to-
enact pending Federal school
construction-aid legislation,
education leaders here predicted
today.
James L. McCaskill, executive
director of the National Educa-
ton Association Legislative Com
mission, declared:
unless Congress acts this
year on a school construction bill
lit will be 1860 or later before
schools built with general Fed
eral building funds open their
doors"
Experts at the Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare Department
also pointed to the seriousness of
1.-THE Nations classroom deficit,
asserting that State and local
school building programs are
Just barely keeping abreast of
Imushrooming enrolment, with
hardly any Roadway against a
big backlog of building needs.
S4OO Million a Year
NEA is seeking passage of the
bill sponsored by Representative
Kelley. Democrat of Pennsylva-
mia, to provide $400 million q
year for four years in Federal
school construction funds. The
Eisenhower administration has
proposed its own Federal-aid
program but is also backing the
Kelley bill.
Both NEA and the administra-
ton are basing their cases on an
Office of Education survey which
predicted a 1954-59 need of 476,-
900 new classrooms merely to
keep up with advancing enroll
ment and take pupils of double
shifts and out of rented and
overcrowded classrooms. The
476,00O figure doesn't take any
account of outmoded or SUBJ
standard buildings needing to be
replaced.
According to the aid propo-
nents, States and localities
aren't building fast enough to
meet even the 476,000 need with
out Federal help.
Asked for facts supporting the
contention that the situation is

localities told the Office Of Edu-
cation only 50 billion was avail

billion program almost "a drop
in the bucket" said one official.
How serious do the educators

Cited these figures:
An estimated 100000 young
sters were on part-time sched-
ules in the school year just ended.
An estimattd 2,250,000 were
on part time, in overcrowded
classes or in emergency class
rooms outside regular public
school buildings.
In the past school year, some
81, 900 new classrooms-an all
time record-were occupied by
pupils. But the Nation would

have to be building them at the
rate of $4,000 a year every year
from 1854 to 1859, to meet the
100000 goal. There is no expec-
tation at the moment-without
Federal aid-that the present
construction rate will go up much
in the near future, according to
NEA.
Resources Exhausted
Many communities have al
ready exhausted their present
school building resources. There
is hope of stimulating States
and localities to increase their
own expenditures, but some APP
parently can't, at least in the
reasonable future.
