Colleges Urge
Teacher Raises
|0f 33% 10 5Oa

LARAMIE. Wyo., Aug. IS
lR.-Presidents and deans from
los colleges which prepare
teachers closed a week-long con-
ference today with a request
that college teachers salaries
must be raised "from one-third
ito one-half."
| The American Association of
Colleges for Teacher Education
addressed its plea to President
Eisenhower's Committee on Edu-
cation Beyond the High School.
increasingly" it said in a
letter, teachers colleges and
schools and departments of edu-
cation within the Nations uni
versities find they cannot COM
pete with business, industry and
other professions in attracting
new talent.
Industrial Salaries Cited
"This is especially true this
year in the fields of mathe-
matics, science and specialized
professional education"
The letter said delegates to
the conference testified that
students graduating from four.
year colleges are being offered
salaries by industry "far higher
than those paid their college
teachers.
The college executives said
faculty salaries have not even
kept pace with the; needed in
IcreaseS in salaries for teaching
at other levels"
Immediate Steps Sought
The group asked the Presi-
dents committee to make the
plight of the teacher-preparatory
institution thoroughly under
stood in order that public and
private colleges may be encour-
aged to take immediate steps to
recognize, in terms of income,
the essential role of the college
teacher in our economy and our
free society,""
The letter was signed by Har-
old Z. Moore. dean of the College
of Education at Denver Univer-
Isity.
It concluded that unless this
challenge is met realistically, the
spectre of crowded classrooms,
double sessions and inadequate
Ily prepared teachers will con-
Itinue to hang over the American
educational system"

been stirred to protest the extremes Of
Russian cruelty in suppreSsing Hungary's
fight for freedom. 1t is subject that un-
doubtedly will be discussed during Prime
Minister Nehru's scheduled meetings here
with Mr.. Eisenhower, and our continuing
relationship with India and its people
may be affected very greatly by the skill
and understanding displayed by our next
ambassador in New Delhi. In Italy,
meanwhile, the strong local Communist
Party has been beSet by doubts arising
out of the factional struggle which ap-
parently has been going on within the
Kremlin and, again, by the events in
Poland and Hungary. To, some degree,
Italy's own political course is sure to be
affected by the behavior of its domestic
Communists. Mr.. Zellerbach, once direc-
tor of our foreign aid program there, is
acquainted with the basic economic and
political problems of that country and his
experience should be Of substantial value

Chain Bridge Squeeze

The District Virginia agreement for
immediate relief of traff1c congestion at
the Chain Bridge bottleneck is good news
to motorists who use this up-river Po-
tomac crossing BY squeezing three lanes
onto the present bridge instead of two
and by widening the District and Virginia
approaches, the flow of rush-hour traffic
can be Speeded up to some degree. But
this, of course, is only an expedient, of
no long-range value in solving the Chain
Bridge congestion problem. Ultimately
this bridge will have to be rebuilt or re-
placed If it is to carry the heavy addi-
tional traffic load envisioned with COM
pletion of the Central Intelligence Agency
building at Langley.
The temporary relief plan involves
relatively small cost for each jurisdiction.
The bridge itself would not be widened
Instead, its 30-foot lane would be divided
into three strips, two of which would be
reserved for ruSh-hour traffic, both morn
ing and evening. Meanwhile, Canal road,
the District approach to the bridge, will
be widened as far as Arizona avenue,
otherwise known as Weaver place. On
the virginia SIDE, GleDe road and Chain
Bridge road will be widened to three lanes
for short distances.
But the impact of CIA traff1c a few
years hence will make such temporary
measures wholly inadequate. There has
been talk of double decking Chain Bridge,
OF replacing it, with larger structure or
Of building a. second up-river bridge
somewhere between Chain and Key
Bridges 1t is doubtful that the proposed
Cabin John span would provide the relief
needed in the Chain Bridge area. So.
while the engineers and planners wrestle
with the already authorized tidewater
bridges lower down the river, serious
study should be given to the Chain Bridge
problem. And the Federal Government,
having created the long-range threat of
heavy CIA traffic, has direct RESPONSE
bility to aid in the solution.

Democratic Advisers

Adlai Stevenson has said that he will
not run again for the presidency, but he
has agreed to serve as a member of the
Democratic Advisory Committee which has
been set up by Chairman Butler at the
direction of the Democratic National
Committee.
The creation of this advisory group
Is a prelude to an interesting political
experiment-an experiment which may go
far toward fixing Mr.. Stevenson'S future
place in the Democratic organization.
The committee, 1t is said, will "adviSe"
with respect to programs and policies for
the Democratic Party. Precisely what
this means is anyones guess, but a good
guess would be that the advisory commit
tee is destined to serve as political arena
IN which the battle for control of the
Democratic Party will be fought out to
finish.
Nineteen people, In addition to Mr..
Stevenson, have been asked to serve.
Representing the Democratic liberal wing
are such personalities as Mr.. Truman,
Mrs. Roosevelt, Senator Kefauver and
Governors Hartman Of New York and
williams OF Michigan. From the right
or moderate" Democratic wing appear
the names of Speaker Rayburn, Majority
Leader Lyndon johnson and former
Governor Battle of Virginia.
II this group is to hammer out party
policy or program that will be politically
useful, 1t will have TO be a program for
which the Democrats will 60 down the
line in the forthcoming Congress In
other words, II the advisory committee is
to serve any purpose, It almost has to
become the stage for showdown between
the Democratic left and the Democratic
right. For the party's "old pros" this
will be a life or death matter, and they
will be playing for keeps. For Mr.. Steven
son, who is the partys titular leadef and
who has tried in the main to stick to the
middle Of the road, kind OF political
trial by FIRE seems to be in the ofang.

School Bond Troubles

Whatever the reason or reasons, Vir-
ginia localities are facing serious and
perhaps critical problem in marketing
school construction bond issues.
Governor Stanley denies that his
anti-integration legislative package is
responsible for this condition. He says
that the problem in Virginia is mo diff
ferent than in other States" One of his
leading Democratic political opponents,
Delegate Robert Whitehead, says that the
no-integration program, with its threat
of closed schools, has crippled the bond
market for school construction and ag-
gravated an already din1cult situation.
In our opinion, there is some basis
for Mr.. Whitehead's contention. 1t is a
fact that Virginia school bond issues, at
tolerable interest rates, are going beg
ging, and Governor Stanley was warned
that this would be the case when his no
integration program was under conSid-
Grafton.
1t is true, however, that localities
elsewhere have had similar trouble, and
it also seems to be a fact that certain
laws now on the books in Virginia would
amply protect investors In school con-
struction bonds. Chief among these, as
cited by the Governor, are two statutes.
One requires that localities in all cases
must levy taxes for interest and principal
payments on bonds. The other provides
that If any locality defaults on bond pay
mentS, the State shall withhold all State
funds due the locality land these are
substantially and apply them to payment
OF the Indebtedness.
This, on It's face, would seem TO
afford ample protection TO bond pur-
ehasers. II this Is the case, II the relue-
tance to buy school bonds Is more psyche
logical than financial in nature, then It
behooves the Virginia authorities 70
launch a full-blown educational cam
paign 70 convince prospective purchasers
that Virginia school bonds are financially
sound investments. II this Is not done,

THE POLITICAL MILL
By GOULD LINCOLN
Kennedy Sees Greater Gains in Unity

cago he was placed in nomi-
nation for Vice President and
lost in a hard, driving finish
to Senator Kefauver of Ten
nessee. In a measure, his loss
of the nomination was a bene-
fit. For while Kennedy might
have strengthened the DEM
ocratic ticket in Massachu-
sets. Connecticut and Rhode
Island, he could not have
changed the Eisenhower-Nixon
sweep to victory.
Unity Plea Won't Hurt Him
Four years hence, Kennedy
will be 43 years old. The
probabilities are he will gain
further in stature--and he is
said to be ambitious. 1t is his
purpose, however, to confine
his efforts to doing the best
job he can as Senator. He is
not the eager-beaver type. He
Is modest and unassuming.
But he thinks for himself. and
has q sterling independence
which has made itself felt.
both during his service in the
House and in the Senate. He
comes up for denomination and
reelection In 1858. He is
stronger than horseradish with
the voters Of his State--and
that includes a lot of Repub-
licans as we'll as Democrats
and independents. That he
will win again against any
candidate the Republicans
may put up against him is
regarded as certain.
Senator Kennedy's plea for
party unity will do him no
harm. His contention is that
I'VE can achieve more progress
sive legislation under our pres
ent congressional leadership
than any alternative choice"
He has a high regard for the
abilities of Lyndon johnson as
leader, and also a high regard
for Speaker Sam Rayburn OF
Texas. In taking this stand.
Kennedy stepped on the toes
of the Americans for Demo-
cratic Action, whose board has
declared that johnson should
stand aside and let another
Democrat take over as leader
during the rules-civil rights
fight. In Massachusetts, the
ADA is ineffective.
The Massachusetts Senator
is not one of these who believe
that the Southern Democrats
should be kicked overheard
in the hope of regaining the
Negro votes which we're lost to
the Democrats in the recent
election. In this connection
it may be recalled that almost
to a man the Southern del
egates to the Democratic
National Convention voted for
Kennedy in preference to Ke-
fauver. for the vice presidential
nomination.
Kennedy is strongly inter-
ested in foreign affairs and
seeks a place on the Foreign
Relations Committee Of the
Senate. His old foe, Kefauver,
also wants that place, and
Kefauver, like Kennedy. has
come out for party unity in
the coming Senate session.

koqi Tiqhtrope

The decreed moratorium on politics
in Iraq, If it can be enforced, may offer
the best hope Of preserving an effective
pro-Western position in the Arab Middle
East. But the chances of success in this
are affected, pro and con, by many COM
plex pressures. The recent action by
King FaiSal in SuSpending Parliament for
a month and declaring martial law pre-
sumably was calculated to make these
pressures more manageable, and to give
what has been relatively stable govern
ment a chance to deal firmly with the
problems that have arisen out Of the
Middle East crisis.
Politically and economically, Iraq has
been living under strong ties to the West,
particularly with Britain. AS one of the
trainers of the Baghdad pact, it is the
only Arab member of that alliance
which includes also Turkey, Iran, Paki-
stan and, by later aff1liation, Britain. The
longtime political control of Premier
Nuri Said, dating back before World
War II, has been exerted In favor Of
maintaining generally close relationship
with Britain-even while walking hand
in hand with the Arab nationalist move
ment. British interests are dominant in
the multinational development of 1raqi
petroleum-an important factor in the
economic relationship. At the same time,
as a member of the Arab League, Iraq
has shared the Arab hostility to Israel
and resentment of the BritiSh-French
invasion of Egypt.
Iraq's current crisis, resulting in
some antigovernment rioting, stems in
part from the governments desire to get
along with Britain, and an Iraqi- Egyptian
rivalry that has developed within the
Arab community. Since formation of the
Baghdad alliance in early 1855, Egypt,
Syria and Saudi Arab have been openly
critical of Iraqi policy, and antigovern-
ment factions in Iraq have followed this
line. When the pipeline carrying Iraqi
oil to the Mediterranean was cut in Syria,
the Iraqi economy suffered from reduced
petroleum royalties. And the reported
increase of Communist activity and in
fluence in Syria has caused political and
military concern in Iraq.
Politically, no Iraqi government can
safely divorce itself from the cause Of
Arab nationaliSm or give encouragement
to colonialiSm. There is no evidence the
Nuri Said government wishes to do either.
There is abundant evidence, however,
that it considers Russian Communist de-
signs upon the Middle East far greater
threat than any other, and King FaiSal
has specifically reafnrmed the close ties
with the other anti Communist members
of the Baghdad alliance. Suspension of
Parliament and imposition of martial law
are moves presumably designed to give
the government greater freedom to carry
out these policies.

Educational Problem

We all welcome the appoint

cation of the well-qualifled
superintendent of schools in

that he will have the courage

traditional moorings Of his
profession and inaugurate a
more creative function for the

in the past followed rather
than led the professional educa-
tors of the country.
The fundamental education
al problem really facing this
country is not bigger and bet
ter school buildings, or even
higher paid and better teach
ers. 1t is the colossally battling
problem of how TO give mass
education efiiciently.
And this problem is q fair
ly new one in our democracy.
The theory and plan Of mass
education worked out fairly
well. so long as only the more
privileged children from cul-
tured families attended high
school. The grammar school.

tury, handled mass education
fairly efficiently and the high
school did not have much Of
1t to cope with.
