Plan for Desegregotion
Reports Turned Down

The Montgomery County
Board of Education last night
rejected a proposal for monthly
progress reports by staff men,
bers on new steps toward de-
segregation.
The vote was 4-3.
Mrs. Rose Kramer made the
proposal. She was supported
by Board President Helen Scharf
and Lathrop Smith. Opposing
the move were Board Members
Harrison King. Wylie Barrow
Wayne Birdsell and Willard
McGraw.
Mrs. Kramer told the board
that she was concerned over the
"best-interest" clause of the in
tegration program which requires
that all pupil transfers be in
the best interest of the individ-
ual pupil and of other pupils in
volved.

Applause Matched
At first, budget foes enjoyed
the loudest applause until budget
supporters caught on and gave
their side comparable accolades,
SUPPORT came from the Civic

civic and PTA groups and the
League of Women Voters. A few
indorsers even thought the
budget should be increased by
adding additional money for

Opposition was voiced by rep

the Soviet Union to conquer all of

domination" Obviously, to admit
Red China to the United Nations
would be merely to extend and
strengthen the tenacles of world
communism.
To answer the second point, it
may become necessary for the
United States to exercise the much
discussed veto" in the United Ma
tiOns. The alacrity and frequency
with which the Russians have used,
or misused, this unusual power
should diSpel any moral or pro-
cedural reservations held by many
Americans. Significant here is the
incontrovertible evidence that the
United States, in shouldering the
burden in Korea, lost $4,000 young
men with another 10000 wounded
or maimed-a costly sacrifice for
the cause of freedom which Egypt
and a few other countries blithely
ignore in their mad haste to do
the devils bidding"

Senate Cloakroom
By J. GLENN BEALL
United States Senator from
Maryland

Fresh memories of the investi-
CATION of l954s high coffee prices
flocked back to me during the past
few days as the costs of many
vacuum-packed brands on store
shelves went up.
As chairman of the Senate sub
committee which heard testimony
on the coffee situation two years
ago, | naturally felt extra curious
about the recent price boosts. So
l attempted to get information on
the matter
An analysis of the situation was
supplied by the Foreign Agricul-
tural Service of the Department of
Agriculture.
No Coffee Shortage Predicted
According to a report released
by the Department, there will not
be any shortage of coffee this year
That does not mean, however,
that prices might not creep up
ward little farther.
The reason for this odd situation
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1956-06-07

one is that continuous favorable
publicity-particularly for GER
tain type of politician-can be a
very dangerous drug; the other
that soon or late any politician
who unnecessarily talks great
deal is bound to make mistake
sometime. A short time ago Mr.
Truman proved the correctness of
both these Well-founded beliefs. 1t
was in Italy that Mr.. Truman vol
unteered his opinion that in World
War IL the Salerno and Anzio cam
paigns had been a CHASTITY fail
urc,' undoubtedly conceived by
some squirrel-headed general" 1t
is assumed that when he made this
somewhat bad-tempered comment
Mr.. Truman thought he was hit
ting at President Eisenhower, to-
ward whom he has developed
curious personal dislike. Actually,
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1956-06-07

lies in the fact that American cof-
fee drinkers use a blend usually
composed of Brazilian coffee and
milder bean.
Costs Higher for Mild Coffee
There is currently a bumper sup
ply of the Brazilian product, but
the mild coffee from other coun-
tries is repeatedly less available
Therefore, importers are be-
lieved to have offered higher
prices for the mild coffee, and the
increased payments we're reflected
in the Brazilian market.
Ultimately, of course, the higher
costs were passed along to those
of us who are coffee drinkers.
Situation to be Watched Closely
l am encouraged by optimistic
predictions that this countrys con
sumner prices will soon level off
But | am disturbed by com
ment in the Agriculture Depart
ments report that the so-called
scarcity of mild coffees appears to
be artificial
Following our 1854 investigation,
coffee costs dipped sharply.
You can be sure that l will keep
in close contact with the present
situation to see whether it also
might warrant a careful survey.

that he lost the respect of some of

cal practice.
