School Flag Contest
At present, Milford High School
does not have an official school
flag. The Junior and Senior Stu
dent Councils decided to run a
contest in which the students
would design a school flag and
have the winning design made in
to flag by flag making concern.
The minimum requirements for
the flag are that the school crest
be included in the design as well
as the school colors, maroon and
gold. The rest is up to the imagi-
nation and ingenuity of the stu
dents.
The contest ends Friday, October
.12. A committee will select the
winning design and the contest
winner will be named. 1t is ex-
pected that the flag will be avail
able for display in about one month.
J. V. Football
The Milford High School Junior
Varsity Football Team battled to
a 90 tie with the Caesar Rodney

played under the lights at the new

The opinion of many of the spec,

Senator Wiley Is Hurt

WiSconsin'S Senator Wiley, ranking
Republican on the Foreign Relations
Committee, has been tossed overheard by
the G. O. P. Old Guard in his home State.
This does not come as any great sur
prise. He was cenSured by the State
Republican convention three years ago
because he opposed the Bricker amend
ment, which would restrict the Presidents
treaty-making powers. Senator Wiley
met that challenge manfully. II am not
going to support an amendment" he said,
which strikes at the very core of the
United States Constitution and which
strikes at the essence of United States
preparedneSs-at our foreign policy lead
ership."
But the hard core of the Wisconsin
Old Guard was not disposed to forgive
or forget. They have been cunning for
Senator Wiley ever since-not because of
the Bricker plan incident alone, but be-
cause they are fundamentally opposed to
the main lines of the Eisenhower foreign
policy, and because Senator Wiley is
fundamentally in favor of them. The
climax was reached in Milwaukee on
Saturday, when the Republican State
convention dumped the 72-year-old Sem
ator and voted 1875 to 481 for RepreSen-
tative Glenn r. Davis as the G. o. P.
senatorial candidate.
There has been tendency to link
Senator Mccarthy to the reputation of
Senator Wiley, and it is fair assumption
that the junior Senator from Wisconsin
Is more in tune with Representative Davis
than with Senator Wiley. But Senator
Mccarthy did not make any open fight
against Senator Wiley, and we think 1t
would be mistake to muddy the waters
by making Senator Mccarthy the issue.
The real issue, as we see it, is quite clear.
Senator Wiley has been cut down by the
Old Guard because he had the courage
to stand up and support the Eisenhower
policies, which he believes to be not only
right but essential to the security of this
country. He says that despite the action
Of the convention he is going into the
primary and fight for the nomination.
II he does this, he will need the Arm
support of the President. We think he
deserves this support and that it ought
to be forthcoming, even though Mr.. Davis
u.s. at least nominally, also an Eisenhower
man.

Price of Progress

A little statistic helps to explain why
modern military establishments are so
expensive. AS reported by the House APP

shows that 1t costs in the neighborhood

The reason for this is that combat

expensive as they are now. cost $3.50
apiece. So American taxpayers must
reckon with bill Of around $4,000 every
time one of these best of our medium
bombers starts a fight. And after the
flight begins, of course, the motive power
is supplied by the regular fuel, and that
means the expenditure OF many addi-

SemifinoI in Florida

Adlai Stevenson and Estes Kefauver
go before the voters of Florida tomorrow
in the Semif1nal round of what the for
mer called their mad endurance race"
At stake Immediately will be % votes at
the Democratic national convention, but
the Florida verdict may have greater
meaning in the political careers of the
two men.
victory for the slightly favored
Mr.. Stevenson, for example, might easily
give the former Governor of Illinois
enough winning momentum to carry
California, the last big primary prize,
next week. There would be psychological
value, as well as votes in such a double
triumph at this final stage of the primary
season. Mr.. Stevenson has fought his
way back in rather impressive style from
his unexpected defeat in Minnesota in
early March, His campaigning has been
tougher and more vigorous. Winning
rounds in Florida and California prob
ably would bring him to the convention
in August in the confident mood of a
man who has shown he can come back.
Senator Kefauver, on the other hand,
appears to have more to lose than to
gain. A victory in Florida, even if fol-
lowed by one in California, would not by
any means assure the TenneSSean of
presidential nomination. The hard core
of anti-Kefauver sentiment within the
party leadership and through so much
of the South still would provide high
hurdle for the Senator at Chicago. But
decisive defeat in Florida, and perhaps
another next week on the West Coast,
would mean the TennesSean's 1856 bid
had been completely knocked out. The
Senator's shift last week to a campaign
line of increasingly bitter personal attacks
on Mr.. Stevenson indicates his awareneSs
that he must win these two showdown
primaries if he is to have any real chance
in Chicago.
Ironically, the Florida voters them
selves are reported as relatively indiffer-
ent to both men and their issues. This
contest on which so much depends for
the two candidates, and in which each
has displayed the fatigue and frayed
nerves of long campaign, probably will
be settled by less than half of the ELI
gible voters. 1t is the sort of ending cited
by those opposed to the primary system
and its many and varied demands.

Importance to Washington. The bill pro-

long-overdue flood control project at
BladenSburg. Some of the items in the

the floor, but there should be no question
about the $16-million allotment for the

at the Capitol is familiar with the
urgency of preventing the recurring floods

undertaking involves chiefly raising the
level of roadways, building levees and
dredging channels This is joint enter

the task will include shore and channel
changes that will open the upper section
of the Anacostia to small boating as far

at BladenSburg In the recent past, but
mostly over the flood-covered U. S.

to know that the day is near when the

The letter quoted says that
the United States should
build peace in this re-

curity Of Israel and selling her
arms to defend herself !" Is
that really the way to build
peace? wouldn't our Arab
friends have equal claim to
our guarantees and our arms?

Schooling for Peace

President Eisenhower has given voice
to timely challenge in proposing that
our universities and private foundations
join in great new undertaking to pro-
mote education for peace and progress in
the worlds underdeveloped countries.
This is not an entirely original idea,
OF course. On the contrary, numerous
moves-Some of them dating back many
years-have already been made along the
lines advocated by the President. But
what he seeks, apparently, is major
1ntenSif1cation of all such efforts in
large-Scale and systematic cooperative
endeavor to establish good schooling in
the many nations that do not possess
the resources to spread the needed edu-
cation throughout their populations"
Moreover, although its effectuation
could hardly fail to fortify freedom
against communism, Mr. Eisenhower has
made clear in his speech at Baylor Uni
verSity that the program he has in mind
would not be an theological or propagan-
diStic venture designed to "Sell" our way
OF life. He has explained it this way:
I'm no respect should the purpose of
these institutions be to transplant into
new areas the attitudes, the forms, the
procedures of America. The stating, the
conduct, the curriculum of each school
would be the responsibility of the people
where the school might be built.
Each school would help each nation de-
velop its human and natural resources,
and also provide great two-way avenue
of communication"
However, even though non-propa-
gandiStic in character, such a program
would almost certainly produce results
favorable not merely to the beneficiary
countries but to the United States as
well. Indeed, in the Presidents judg-
ment, "the whole free world would be
stronger if there existed adequate insti-
buttons of modern techniqueS and SCI
enceS in areas" where both the hunger for
knowledge and the desire to use knoWl-
edge are now unSatisf1ed because of a
lack of educational facilities. Nor does
it seem too much to hope that prospects
for global peace and prosperity would be
nightly enhanced" by a real advance
along this front-an advance that would
have the effect, for example, of speeding
up benef1cent uses of the atom.
Presumably, now that he has pre-
Sented his proposal in these generalized
terms, the President will soon define it in
more specific detail. 1t involves a num-
Der of difficult problems that must be
solved before it can even get started. But
both the Ford and Carnegie foundations,
among others, have Endorsed 1t as some
thing that deserves the most serious con-
sideration, and many of our universities
can be counted upon to help translate it
into action if it proves to be as feasible
as it seems
So every effort should be made, and
the sooner the better, to push forward
with a study of this schools for-peace
idea. For if it can be put to work effec-
lively, on as big scale as needed, it will
surely render good service to our world
