If the crisis in the Middle
East continues long enough the
Suez Canal will loose import
ance and an international
police force made up of non
big-power nations has a good
chance of becoming the &C
cepted thing.
These were points made by
Mr.. Raymond A. Cromley. re-
firing president of the State
Department Correspondents
Association at a dinner meet
ing last evening. He spoke
before the Political Study
Group of the District League of
Republican Women.
The speaker said that al
though the canal will continue
to exist. its Importance will
be reduced economically and
militarily.
Mr.. Crowley said that Brit
ain particularly will never be
able to trust the situation
again and therefore will have
to devise other methods to
get the vitality needed oil.
As to how this would be
done, Mr.. Crowley spoke about
two possibilities. He said that
additional pipe lines could be
built and that very large
tankers not yet in existence
could take the oil around the
Cape economically.
He pointed out that these
tankers would be too large TO
go through the canal. This
method could also apply to
other supplies Of Importance.
Mr.. Crowley said that he
felt that Britain would insist
that something be worked out
so that the canal couldn't fall
in the hands of Russia or any
other one nation-that Il
would have 10 be under a type
Of international control.
In speaking about the United
Nations police force now in
the Middle East. Mr.. Crowley
said that 1t might serve as a
pattern.
He said that the FIRST step
had been In Korea where there
was q United Nations force in
name only. The present situa-
ton Is the second example.
The speaker said that this
new technique IN occupation
could become the accepted
thing-some sort OF internal
tional police force made up Of
non-big power nations.
Mr.. Cromley pointed out
that II this worked with

thing could happen to change
this plan, For one thing it
may be decided that the de-
mand for tickets this year
when the President comes in
with a Democratic Congress
will be far less than in 1858,
when everything went Repub-
lican for the first time in 20
years.
On the other hand, whether
or not the affairs are multi
piled, the ball chairmanShip
is being divided by two.
Last time there we're two
co-chairmen, a man and a
woman. People on the COM
mittee said it just plain
wouldn't work. This time there
will be only one chairman of
the ball.
Inaugural Chairman Bob
Fleming labors this week to
complete his committee that
includes two appointments
now definite. Bruce Baird,
president of the National Saw
ings and Trust Bank, will be
treasurer, a post Mr.. Fleming
himself occupied last time,
and Lewis Breuninger, real
estate man, will be assistant
to the chairman. George Hart
had that job in 1858.

A lot of people think that
plans for the last two in
augurals have overlooked
Washington's greatest assets.
Why. they ask, is a lot of
Hollywood talent imported to
perform at a gala or festival?
A Hollywood revue isn't
Washington. Indeed, it is
something you can get in lots
OF other cities. The Uline
Arena wasn't even filled for
the gala that was held the
night of January 10, 1853. If
people want Hollywood talent.
they can flip on the television
set and get it most any old
hour, any day in the week.
But the Nations Capital has
something far better to offer.
It's what draws hundreds of
thousands of visitors here year
around. Surely it's what the
people who pour into this city
in January from 48 states,
Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto
Rico would rather see on an
historical occasion.
So why not capitalize on
what we have. they ask? Why
not have every art gallery
and museum in the city
featured on a two-day tour
each spruced up with special
programs of marvellous music?
The Budapest Quartet could
play at the Library of Con-
gress, the Air Force Symphony
Orchestra in the National
Gallery. and so forth. 1t would
even be gala to have music in
the Rotunda of the Capitol,
and the Marine Band could
play favorite marches of past
presidents as visitors reviewed
inaugural gowns of former
First Ladies at the Smithson-
ian.
The Washington Cathedral
could have one of it's beauti-
full services involving the flags
of many nations. The National
Symphony could present the
history Of America in music
before the President and Mrs.
Eisenhower sitting in their
flag -draped box.
Every theater in town could
have special inaugural per-
formances Of top Broadway
shows.
What we should do, say
these Washingtonians, is gear
the inaugural to the visitors
who gather here from all
points of the compass. We
should show them Washing
ton-their Washington-in full
flower.

textbook for high schools on
the entire problem of Com
munism as opposed to the
Democratic way of life.
Members of the Institute,
which has Offices here and in
New York, feel that the ex-
ample of the 81 American
soldiers who detected in the
Korean conflict indicated, If
nothing else did. the great need
for such a book.
when the causes Of why
these boys detected were ex-
plored," explained Ambassador
Grew, at was learned that
they knew nothing of Gem
munism and what it was; they
had no idea of what we were
fighting for in Korea. This
must not happen again"

BY BETTY BEALE

One can't vouch for the rest
of the country. but New Years
eve was celebrated in Wash
ington Saturday night.
Undoubtedly for the first
time in the history of America,
the director of the budget gave
a party to celebrate a bal
anced budget" at 1.-The close of
the fiscal year"
One says undoubtedly for
two reasons: Cd Percival F.
Brundage is the first director
of the budget anyone can re-
member to have the originality
and charm to give such a party.
And t2). who can remember
when the budget was last bal
anced anyhow?
History was also made by
the party's setting. 1t was the
first dance ever given at the
erudite Cosmos Club of which
Mr. Brundage is a member.
The club did we'll to open its
doors to the wholesome fun of
a square dance. 1t was entirely
over by IL; it frightened the
scene. and it drew still more
brains within its confines.
In fact, you might say
never before have financial
heads done so much with their
feet. OF the 1870 or 140 guests
present, 100 were from the
Budget Bureau.

Children are being better
educated than they were a
generation ago, chiefly be-
cause teachers try to treat
each child as an individual.
This is the belief of DR..
Helen K. Macintosh. whose
distinguished leadership" in
the field of elementary school
education will be honored to-
night by the National Civil
Service League.
Miss Macintosh, who is
chief of the Elementary School
Section of the Department Of
Health, Education and We'll
fare, is one of 10 Federal
career employees who will re-
ceive career service awards
from the league.
She is the only woman in
the group.
Miss Macintosh went to
work for the Office of Educa-
ton now a part of H. E. W.
in 1888. Prior to that she had
taught elementary. high school
and college students.
Good Teachers
Good teachers today con-
centrate not on pounding facts
into a child's head. but with
giving him the tools Of learn
ing-teaching him where to

wants to know" Miss Mack
intosh says.
The child of today-and
the grown up. too, for that
matter-can't begin to carry
around every bit of his mental
baggage, that is all the things
he would like to know she
added. Even in first grade.
we try to teach children where
to find the answers. We start
them using the dictionary

course"
Many parents actually i'm
pede their children's ability to
absorb learning-particularly
the ability to readily push
ing" them too fast, the educa-
tor believes.
They read to the children
constantly-long, complicated,
often quite interesting stories,
that make the little tales in
the first year reader seem dull
by comparison" she said.
They would do better to have
their little pre-schooler con-
centrate on simple picture
books, with perhaps a few
words to a page"
Other parents give their
children bad conditioning to
reading by never reading any,
thing themselves, she declared
A child who never sees
anyone pick up a book or mag
azine isn't likely to want to
read much" she explained
Children are great mimics."

EDUCATOR BELIEVES
ToddY's Children
Better Educated

Read the controversy which
has been waxing furiously in
educational circles. Like the
bulk Of educators, she does not
agree that "Johnnys" reading
troubles come about because
schools are giving less en-
phasis to the phonetic method
of teaching reading.
Essentially, the phonetic
method teaches children how
to pronounce words, not what
they mean, she says. The
method IS just one Of several
we use to help children learn
to read, and no one method
works with all children.
Miss Macintosh challenges
the thesis that more children
now are unable to read than
many years ago.
Difference
The difference is that more
children are staying on in
school,, she said When they
get to high school, their
teachers discover that some of
them can't reaG. Those same
children Wouldn't have been
able to read in the past. but
they dropped out Of school
before any teacher made a
point Of it.
The teaching of arithmetic
has undergone somewhat of a
modification since mother was
a girl, the HEW official states.
Long division, which for
merly was thrust upon children
IN the fifth grade, now is
spread out over the third
through sixth grades, she said.
And arithmetic problems have
been brought up TO date. she
added.
