The Minnesota primary re-
suits may have broken the
back of the Adlai Stevenson
drive for the Democratic pres
idential nomination. For in
Minnesota. Stevenson picked
his own ground to contest
against Senator Estes Kefau-
yer of Tennessee for delegates
to the Democratic National
Convention. Kefauver, coming
from behind and considered
an underdog candidate, has
dealt Stevenson a terrible
blow. winning nearly all the
States 80 delegate votes.
If Kefauver's victories in
New Hampshire, first. and
then in Minnesota, and his
forthcoming victory in Wis
consin are finally shown to
have stopped" Stevenson,
who is going to stop Ke-
fauver?
Leaders Go Shopping
Kefauver has never had
the support of the Demo-
cratic organization leaders.
One immediate effect of the
Kefauver victory in Minnesota
will be to set these leaders to
looking around for another
potential candidate more sat-
isfactory to them. And by the
same token, Gov. Hartman of
New York. Gov. G. Mennen
Williams of Michigan and
Senator Stuart Symington of
Missouri-and their friends
will take a new look at the
Democratic presidential situa-
ton. Hartman has long been
regarded as a candidate for
the nomination-although he
has never announced his can
didacy. The other two could
easily become favorite-son
candidates of their States.
Senator Lyndon Johnson,
Democratic leader of the Sem
ate. is another possibility.
Mr.. Stevenson may recover
some of the ground he has
lost-but the odds now seem
against him. Until Minnesota.

running candidate. He has a
strong organization working
for him, with big headquarters
in Chicago, and a kind of Citi-
zens for Stevenson Nation
wide Committee playing its
part. He has had strong sup
port in many of the non pri-
mary States-where delegates
are elected in conventions,
such States as Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts in the East,
and of course in his own home
State of Illinois. His campaign
managers have counted on his
winning the presidential nom
ination on the first or second
ballot in the party's national
convention in Chicago next
August, But an early front
runner for a presidential nom
ination must stay in front, or
his chances begin to fade.
Stevenson is not through
with his primary contests
against Kefauver, and he may
take further defeats in them.

Freedmen's Transfer

10 one outside OF the Civil
Service System, the apathy of
civil servants in general and of
their representative groups in
particular over the proposed
transfer of Freedmen's HoSpi-
tai to Howard University is
strange indeed.
The Civil Service Commission
has made it clear that no indi-
vidual has a right TO Federal
employment. That is not the
problem here. The proposed
transfer affects the rights of
some 700 classified workers at
Freedmen's and may we'll at
feet their removal from civil
service.
DR.. Mordecai w. johnson,
president of Howard University,
has said he has appointed a
committee to make careful
analysis, with statistics for
every possible human relations
problem that will arise by that
transfer" Precisely what that
means is not clear.
Careful consideration must
not only be given to the "hu-
man relations problem" but
also to the broad questions of
impact of such transfer on
employee morale generally and
on recruitment, the measures
necessary to preserve the status
and rights of employees, and
the restrictions, if any, to be
placed on transferring Govern
ment functions or agencies 10
private institutions or COM
panies.
If the Commute to Preserve
the Civil Service System is still
functioning. the implications
OF this proposed transfer should
be Of great interest to it.

Learns Hard Way

In all the discussion over
the dismal state of public
school education in Washing
ton, and throughout the Ma
ton, one curious phenomenon
should strike concerned par
ents, namely, that those most
informed on the problem-the
teachers-are keeping silent.
Why don't they talk? Be-
cause they are too busy or too
exhausted with their gruelling
50-to-60 hour-perrweek jobs;
they don't dare speak up and
tell the truth; they are silent
from a sense of futility.
The trouble starts in grade
school. Children are promoted
from grade to grade. because
not to promote a child gets
teacher frowns or worse from
the parents. Angry parents call
the principal. Teacher is called
on the carpet. In most cases
teacher gets the disapproval of
the harried school administra-
ton because if teacher had
promoted the pupil. there
wouldn't have been any
trouble! Teacher learns her
lesson: Promote the kids and
spare yourself lot of thank
less effort and trouble!
To funk a pupil in Junior
high gets teacher not only
wrath from parents and disap-
prevail of administration. but
on top of all that. reprisal
(even slashed tires) from pu-
pills. So grade school process is
repeated: Teachers pass pupils.
Many pupils arrive in high
school with grossly inadequate
proficiency in reading, writing
and arithmetic. One skill they
have learned well: Refined
techniques for playing par
ents and school counselors
against the teacher. If teacher
dares funk a pupil, it isn't
the pupil who has failed; it
is the teacher who stands &C
cused of having failed. She
doesn't understand teen ag-
ers" or she doesn't suit the
work to the pupils ability"
Thus the high school teacher
who tries to maintain decent
academic standards in her
subject gets branded a failure.
The teacher has no court
of appeal. Her professional
references and her economic
security are controlled by the
school administration. One
improved or improbable charge
against her, even a sighting
remark made by principal
in her references, is enough
to make another principal hes
itate or refuse to employ her.
So teacher does the only thing
she can do: She spares her.
self the thankless effort to
maintain decent academic
standards; she caters to popu-
larity with pupils, parents, ad-
ministration; she passes kids
who don't deserve to pass.
And what do the kids do?
In this progress" from grade
school to senior high, they
have lost respect for teachers,
school, parents. In other words,
they have lost respect for au-
thority. They play truant.
They sabotage teacher by US
ing chalk and eraSers for pro-
jectile ammunition; grind
chalk in pencil sharpener;
erase teachers board instruc-
ton; steal books off her desk;
create classroom rumpus to
keep good pupils from learn
ing; vandalize the school build
ing. Some progress" to car
rying weapons, hurting mis-
siles at police, purse-snatching,
stick-ups.
Parents, how do you like
the picture? And basically,
whose fault is it?

- The plan repeatedly would

Algerian campaign would cost
about $40 million beyond the

LONDON, Feb. % R.-The
Big Three Western powers today
were reported agreed on the
main lines Of military action
they would take against any ma
ton starting a new Arab-Israeli
war.
A British informant said the
exact details of the contemplated
action still are being worked out
by diplomats and staff officers
Of the United States. Britain and
France in Washington. But
Western action in an emergency,
he asserted, would be swift and
effective.
The Foreign Office refused to
comment on the report. officials
said. however. the British and
French Ambassadors in Wash
ington will meet again soon with
State Department leaders to con-
tinue a study of the problem.
The United States and Britain
already have begun a show OF
their naval strength in sight OF
the disputing parties in the east
ern Mediterranean.
Current or planned naval
moves in that area suggest that
Western sea and air power would
be used initially If large-scale
fighting broke out between Israel
and her Arab neighbors. The
informant said present arrange
ments call for dispatch Of land
forces to a battle zone only as
a last resort and after consulta-
tons with the United Nations.
The source noted that destroy
ers of the United States 9Th
Fleet already have begun a series
of regular visits to Egypt's Port
Said with the permission of the
Egyptian government. United
States warships also visited the
Israeli port Of Haifa during the
week end.
He said Britain plans similar
visits by Royal Navy vessels to
Israel and Egypt in the coming
weeks.

stemmed from the conference
