Governor StonIey,s Pledge

Governor Stanley stated fatty to
virginia's General Assembly that he
stands for and will fight for a continual
ton Of a strong public school system in
his State. He not only urged the Legis-
lature with all the force at my COM
rnand" to carry forward the public edu-
cation program, but recommended the
biggest increase in school appropriations
on record. To what extent this reasSur-
ance will allay justified fears for the flu
ture Of public education in Virginia Gre
ated by the Gray plan is conjectural But
1t certainly indicates that there is no
present intention to sit by and let the
public school system go to pot.
The Governor said his budget calls
for an increase of $22,900,960 in funds
for education. This would go to raise
teachers salaries, to provide more teach
ers and to encourage the training Of
new teachers to meet the expected future
shortage. The program for improving
the pay scale approved by the last As
sembly will be carried forward without
additional cost to the localities. The
State will aid local authorities In en-
sloying 1900 more teachers. More than

Effective Penalty

Fairfax Circuit Court Judge Paul
Brown gave John H. Hollowell the only
really effective penalty for drinking
drivers who endanger the lives of others
"a jail sentence. Mr.. Hollowell, bust
nessman of good reputation in his COM
munity, was sentenced to spend a year
In the county jail and to pay a $1,000
fine on his plea of guilty to involuntary
manslaughter. His pickup truck had
killed two other respected citizens and
paralyzed a third on Arlington boulevard
September "a last.
Judge Brown pointed out that the
evidence indicated that Mr.. Hollowell had
been drinking just before the accident
and had bumped another car several
times before veering off the pavement
and knocking down the three men, who
were repairing tire at the roadside. 1t
was not the first time that the defendant
had been involved in an accident while
drinking, the judge said. This man" he
declared, simply has to realize that he
cannot drink and drive car" If more
judges would be equally stern in such
cases, the number of drunken or drink
ing drivers on the highways could be
materially reduced-and perhaps good
many lives would be saved.

Down on the Farm

The Stars article by Joseph
A. Fox on January 2 complete
ly misrepresents the attitude
of family-type farmers toward
working people in general and
organized labor in particular.
Any head scratching that is
being done by politicians, con-
trary to what Mr.. Fox sug-
gests. ought rather to be in
wonder over the administra-
tons continued effort to an
tagoniZe farmers and working
people toward each other. as is
it's manner of dealing with the
serious economic distress now
being suffered by farmers.
The farmers economic distress
arises because their prices
have gone down. The admin
istration has been unwilling to
cure declining farm prices In
stead. it has outspokenly IA
vored lower farm prices under
the theory that this would re-
duce production, and it has
strongly influenced the farm
price decline by cutting price
supports beginning In 1858 at
every legal opportunity when
doing 30 would result In de-

BoIstering Civil Service

In reassigning four career civil serv-
ants to assist policy-making officials OF
the Department Of Labor, Secretary
Mitchell is implementing an important
recommendation of the Hoover Commits
sion. It was that there should be estab-
iished within the Civil Service System
highly competent group of career admin
jstrators, neutral in politics, who will
work under the direction Of noncareer
executives in operating the machinery of
The Federal Government" Early last year
Mr.. Mitchell took the first step in this
direction by naming Willard Cass, vet
eran civil service employe, as Deputy
Jndersecretary Of Labor The latest step
IS to give the rank of Deputy Assistant
Secretary to Aryness Joy Wickens, Leo
r. Werts and Charles D. Stewart, and to
designate Thomas A. Lane as assistant
to the Assistant Secretary for Interna-
tional Labor Affairs. All are career off,
GERS with long service in the department.
The formation of high echelon of
1t should, for example, increase the eff
cheney of Government agency to bring
career specialists into closer working
relationship with policy-making and
policy officials 1t should, also, assure
greater continuity Of operations during
changes Of administrations. And finally,
Is strengthens the merit system in Gov
eminent employment and provides an
additional incentive to career workers.

800 additional teaching scholarships will
be offered by the State, In an effort to
recruit more instructors. All of this
plan is contingent, of course, on the ap-
prevail of the Assembly. There is every
indication that the Governors program
will meet with favorable response,
however.
The general picture of public educa-
ton in Virginia, as described in the Gov
ernors message, is somewhat encourag-
ing. Mr.. Stanley noted that the number
of overcrowded clasSrooms is declining,
the number Of teachers with subStandard
qualifications is less than when he took
office and the number of double-shift
classes has been reduced. State funds
have played an important part in these
Improvements. That the State is pre-
pared to give public education even
stronger support in the future is implicit
in the Governors message.

Riding Herd on Tempos

The Presidents selection of F. Moran
McConihe as his personal representative
and consultant in the campaign to rid
Washington of the Governments SUM
like temporary" buildings is fine news
for two good reasons. 1t is additional
evidence of the Presidents keen interest
in tearing down these ugly shacks which
deface some Of the most beautiful park
lands in the world. And the choice Of
Mr.. McConihe, to coordinate the Gov
ernment's somewhat muddled approach
to permanent housing for its employees,
is q good choice. Mr.. McConihe knows
Washington and ought to be good man
to get a needed Job done.
Under the helpful prodding last sum-
mer Of Representative Robert Jones Of
Alabama, chairman Of the subcommittee
on public buildings Of the House Public
Works Committee, the Government Serv-
ices Administration has prepared build
Ing program for Washington. If followed,
that program would eliminate most of
the tempos by 1860. The program is
understood to have received general ap-
prevail from the Budget Bureau once
Of Defense Mobilization, the Presidents
co-ordinator Of public works, and others.
While Mr.. McConihe's role in this picture
has been only generally described, there
is real Job for somebody to ride herd
on all the agencies involved.
The President Is understood to be
pleased by the tremendously improved
appearance Of the park surrounding the
1st Division Memorial since the tempo
which occupied that space has been razed.
He should be equally pleased over the
demolition Of the little tempo in front Of
the District Building, and the day-by-day
progress in removing the big tempo north
Of the Commerce Department. Nearly
ewo-score such buildings remain, how
ever, and they deface the surroundings
of the Lincoln Memorial, Constitution
avenue and other areas, disgraceful re-
ninders Of one Of the greatest acts Of
LOCALIZED vandalism ever perpetrated in
Washington.
