NEW DELHI.-Indians generally
have. great expectations for this
weeks talks between President Eli
senhower and Prime Minister Nehru
in Washington. They are predict
ing not only better relations be-
tween India and the United States,
but also the development of more
friendly United States policy to-
ward the whole ''neutralist" world.
A new level of cooperation be-
tween Afro-Asian nations and the
United States was reached when
they voted together in the United
Nations on the resolution demand
ing immediate withdrawal of the
forces of England, France and
Israel from Egypt. This vote was
seen here as indicating new
American approach to world prob
lens. unencumbered by commit
ments to the colonial policies of
Americas Western allies. 1t also is
felt that Mr.. Nehru'S condemna-
ton of Soviet military aggression in
Hungary should dispel any feeling
in the United States that India is
soft" toward the Communist coun-
tries.
Mr.. Nehru, who arrives in WASH
ington today, told the Indian Par
Lament a few days ago that he re-
garded his trip as a great privilege
mot only because the United States
is great and powerful country but
also because President Eisenhower
is great man.
He has," Mr.. Nehru added, "un-
doubtedly been instrumental in the
maintenance of world peace on sew
eral critical occasions and am
sure that my meeting him will be
of profit to me-"
President Eisenhower also at
taches unusual Importance to this
meeting. To lay its groundwork, he
sent his most trusted expert on In
dian affairs. former Ambassador
John Sherman Cooper, on a special
mission to New Delhi.
Motter Of Emphasis
India and the United States diff
fer on many issues. But these cleav-
ages are not so deep as they appear,
though they have sometimes lead
to sharp controversies in the press.
There are many basic similarities

burden to the average, as opposed
to the exceptional. teacher?
eCan an aide be kept busy enough
If she can't teach-to justify hir-
ing her?
. How many schoolrooms are big
enough for big-class-plus-aide?
. Would the aide plan really save
any money?
On the last point, one observer
pointed out that the cost of two
teachers plus two aides for 90 pupils
in two classes of As would APP
proximate the cost of three teach
ers for 80 pupils in three classes of
80. This observer asked:
Gould not the money spent for
the teacher aide program be more
wisely used to increase the number
OF qualified teachers of the SCHOOL,"
Perhaps this is the most import
ant question of all.

SIGNS OF a SHIFT
United States Seems to Be Movinq
Toward q Firmer Foreign Policy

Within the pattern. we may have
subdivisions of probabilities. posi-
bilities, and pitfalls.
Our State Department seems for
the most part to have conducted
foreign policy in the recent past by
a series Of spontaneous reactions to
events. Secretary Of State Dulles
clearly considers flexibility to be Of
cardinal Importance to the success
Of the West in the continuing strug-
gle with the Communist world. He
plays by ear" rather than by note;
the exigencies Of each situation die
tating the tune.
But those who favor a vigorous
American leadership in world affairs
plead that the challenges Of the
times demand a more clear-cut,
consistent, and careful policy to-
ward the rest Of the world lest we
be swamped by the follies OF our
allies or shattered by the fury Of our
enemies.
Crisis Follows Crisis
There is in this view a strident
insistency in today's demands upon
us as Nation. Perhaps never before
in our history have so many crucial
decisions been awaiting an answer.
With the problem Of how best TO
play the hand that the Commu-
nists' internal troubles have dealt
US, we nave also to contend with
the radically altered pattern OF our
relations with the other major ma
tons Of the West. II Is too much
to say that the British and French
invasion Of Egypt has irretrievably
shattered the Big Three alliance,
keystone Of the Vests defenses.
But no one in a responsible position
has denied that the basis for Big
Three cooperation has been rsdj-
cally altered by events around Port
Said, in London and in Paris.
Possibly more important TO the
future than the factors described
above is the sweeping transition
evident in Americas relations with
the so-called 'neutralist" world.
Recent events have Indicated q
closing Of the gap between the
United States and the neutransts.
Can the gap be further closed
without our demanding that the
uncommitted nations abandon their

. Teachers with aides spent from
30 to los per cent more time on les
son preparation. Rotations. making
assignments desk-to-desk help and
supervision, and found more time
to work with individual children
and small groups.
. Teachers spent from rs to SO
per cent less time on report-making
discipline, roll-taking, correcting
papers and monitoring written les
sons.
. Achievement test results ap-
peared favorable, in comparison
with nonaide classes.
. Reported parent and pupil reac-
ton was largely favorable.
. No trouble was found recruiting
or keeping aides. Most had at least
some college training.
. A stable number OF aides began
study fitting them to be promoted
to teachers.
This list of achievements is inn
pressive. 1t has not gone unchal-
lenged. however. Some observers
have pointed to what they consider
various shortcomings in the Michi-
gan project. Research procedures
have been attacked as not thorough
enough. Critics have said teacher
can't teach properly If she gives
away so many responsibilities.
The aide plan, some have said,
makes class work too rigid and
impersonal. Some, on the other
hand. contend that clerical aide
should be provided all teachers
but in classes Of not over 30.
Some Questions
These questions also might be
raised:
. Would the big-claSs-plus- aide
plan help-or harm-educational

. Would big-ciass- plus-aide work

lens are numerous?
. Could enough capable aides be
recruited in all communities at an
economically feasible pay scale?

Could teacher-aides help to meet
the Nations growing shortage of
schoolteachers and classrooms?
In Montgomery County, Md, and
several communities in Michigan,
educators are seeking the answer
to this question.
Schoolteachers have many chores
besides those which rate strictly
as teaching. Some are clerical
roll-taking, preparing reports, writ
ing lessons on the blackboard, COL
lecting milk and lunch money. Then
there is monitor duty in the lunch
room and on the playground. And
the countless other little things,
from Mary's runny nose to Georges
rldor.
Such tasks take valuable time
time which, in today's rush to get
more and more Johnnys and Marys
to read and do their arithmetic
better, can barely be spared.
Some see teacher ladies as a de-
vice to combat the school crisis.
With extra help, they say, the
teachers job would not only be
made easier but that she would be
able to handle more pupils at a
time. Thus the rapidly growing
teacher shortage would be eased.
There is a suggestion that this
strategy might even save on school
construction. The reasoning is
the more children in a classroom
the less need for more rooms. Brig.
Gen. Thomas A. Lane, District En-
gineer Commissioner. evidently is
attracted by this possibility. Re-
Gently he suggested hiring teen
ayers as teacher-aides, so classes
can be made larger.
Few II any educators have gone
as far as Gen. Lane Washington
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
seems to be firmly against teacher
aides. Montgomery Supt. Forbes
H. Morris considers them merely a
stop-gap, and has made q point
against Gen. Lanes economy hopes
by pointing out that while bigger

PIoy Down Economy Angle
In Fairfield. Conn. an experiment
is under way with teacher-aides in
classes Of 30. solely aimed at i'm
proving instruction and not at in
structing more pupils per classroom.
officials Of the National Education
Association, among others. have
urged focusing on the question
from this standpoint. and expressed
definite doubts about the value Of
the aide idea as an answer to the
teacher or classroom shortage. And
the Michigan experimenters, who
launched their undertaking on q
grant from the Ford Fund for the
Advancement of Education, have
stressed a desire to improve teach
Ing and disavowed any considera-
ton Of economic expediency."
School boards and public budget
makers are bound TO be attracted

The United States financial and
economic role in repairing the dam
age done to the Western world by
the Suez affair will receive close
attention in the new Congress that
convenes next month. There will
be increased pressure for foreign
aid of all sorts regardless of the
findings of the three committees
which have been reappraiSing this
subject for Congress and the White
House in recent months.
The Suez war and canal closing
have already caused far-reaching
harm to economic stability in Eu-
rope. the Middle East and, to lesser
degrees, in places as far away as
Japan. But in this writer's opinion,
no large-scale extended foreign aid
plan comparable to the Marshall
plan is now contemplated by the
American Government.
Speaking for the administration,
Vice President Nixon in speech
which was promptly applauded in
official Britain, voiced serious con-
Germ over the deterioration pro-
duced in the NATO alliance by the
Suez war and promised the United
States would assist Britain in its
financial plight" He offered gen
erous aid" to the Middle East to
solve economic problems and every
assistance and encoura cement" to
the nations Of Eastern Europe.
Even as midas Prime Minister
Nehru prepared for his Washing
ton visit, headlines in newspapers
around the world reflected rumors
from this city that a grand aid
program. perhaps of Marshall Plan
dimensions, was being readied by
the United States.
Treasury Dissents
Nixon's speech gave strong sup
port to the belief in some quarters
that the administration thinks
large-scale nonmilitary aid might
be necessary to tide the free world
over the economic crisis caused by
the Suez Canal shutdown. On the
other hand, high Treasury officials
strongly emphasize that they see no
need for an economic grant pro-
gram for Europe. The economic
aftermath of the canal closing and
war. they state. have been greatly
exaggerated and existing institu-
lions can handle the financial re-
quirements.
The Treasury's attitude is under
standable. When aid is sent abroad,
it is the Treasury which must raise
the money by taxes or borrowing.
Indeed, the aid which Britain al
ready has obtained or has been dis
cussing with the aforementioned
existing institutions"-and it is
by no means inconsequential in
amount-creates problems for the

Reserves Depleted

Britain drew on the fund because
it regarded its nearly So billion of
gold and dollar holdings as made
quate.s These reserves had been
seriously depleted in previous weeks
by widespread loss of confidence
in the pound sterling and the at
tendant withdrawal of balances
from London. The massive use of
the fund. to which the United
States of course consented. serves
to stop the run on the pound.
Another source of support lies in

of their father, to cheat them out
of their property by making them
quarrel about it.

called his sons around him. He
laid before them seven sticks,
which were bound together. He
said, 81 will pay a hundred dollars

3. Each one strained every
nerve to break the bundle. After
long but vain trial, they all said

father, nothing is easier to do"
He then united the bundle, and
broke the sticks, one by one, with
perfect ease.
5. "Ah" said his sons, "it is
easy enough to do it so; anybody
could do it in that way"

with these sticks, so it is with you,
my sons. So long as you hold fast
together and aid each other, you
will prosper and none can iniure
you.
