The American people are
being asked to believe some re-
markable things in the realm
Of political discussion.

Saturday by the Presidents
personal physician. Mai. Gen.
Howard Snyder. Gen. Snyder
said q second term for the
President might be safer than
1t was before. According to the
Snyder school, then. it appears
that Q new task before heart
research is finding ways Of in
ducing nonfatal heart attacks
in men and women Of IS who
want to go on working.
Were DR.. Snyder asked to
rule on an Army officer IS and
victim of heart attack who
was seeking command respon-
sibilities he would be compelled
by regulation and custom to
say no.

The job of the Secretary OF
State is the most thankless
and burdensome in the world.
If Secretary Dulles had given
the Senators and the public
which listened to his testimony
last Friday a personalized pic
ture Of his troubles he would
have at least enjoyed their full
sympathy.
Unlike the days when it was
housed In the gingerbread
building on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. with only a handful Of adj
visers and assistants, the State
Department now occupies a
marble and bronze modern
building and has become q
top-heavy, unwieldy organi-
zation with hundreds Of policy
makers, specialists, consultants
and especially public relations
men.
The job Of the public rela-
tons men is not to tell the
public through press and radio
channels what the Depart
ment's policies actually are but
to give a convincing picture
that their bosses are the finest
and cleverest individuals In the
world.
Gone are the days before the
last war when a newspaperman
could crack open the door OF
various Offices and. if the man
at the desk did not appear too
busy, walk in for a chat about
what was going on. This per-
sonal relationship has all but
disappeared.
Now public relations and in
formation off1cials-as dry as
a creek during a drought
hand out so-called "informa-
ton" which is frequently de-
ceptive or inconsequential.
Occasionally 1t is possible to
see a policy maker, provided
the reporter can wait q week
or so before his request for an
of -the-record 10-minute con-
versation is granted. This de-
lay is not due to the reluctance
of the officials to meet press
representatives individually but

Political Propaganda on Increase

shady work is done; a pro-
posed bill by Senator johnson
would not.
That Senators will indict or
even embarrass other Senators
is not to be expected. Senator
Hennings has expressed the
view that oil money is the
greatest gle corrupting
force in. American politics to-
day. Any serious attempt to
deal with it would have to
study the high depletion tax
allowances for oil producers
and this is not within the
purview of the present COM
mittee.
Further propaganda directed
at the presidency-and the
Presidents that the burdens
Of that great Office can be re-
duced. Some routine can but
not the load which causes
stress and strain nor can
other nations be expected to
behave better in order to help
the American President.
All of this adds up to the
practice of politics as merely
the maintenance of status.
Were it all true there would
be little for the American
people to worry about. The
politicians here don't believe
it is true and events may force
them into greater public dis
play of the realism they show
in private.

schools are progressively aban-

American youth in any of the
basic intellectual disciplines
that are essential to higher
learning in any fields.
If anything. for instance,

Importance of science and

demand for trained technicians

Yet, according to the last
figures, only 4 per cent Of
American high school students
are studying elementary phys
les, 7 per cent chemistry, q
per cent algebra and l3 per

high schools do not even

Some Aides Seen Against His Policies;

because of the high pressure
of work.
Besides the heavy volume of
cables and reports from dip
lomatic and economic repre-
sentatives all over the world,
there are innumerable meet
ings and conferences within
the State Department.
When, the secretary of a
"Mr. Big" says that he is in
conference, it no longer means
that he is having coffee and
chatting about his latest golf
score with friends. He really
Is in conference.
State Department officials,
except for the small fry. work
an average of IL to IA hours
a day. But the effectiveness of
those intermiuable staff meet
ines and top-level conferences,
judged by the present obvious
results, appears negative.
Mr.. Dulles difficulties spring
partly from the fact that there
are a number of advisers, con-
sultants and assistants in the
department who do not share
his views. They sincerely be-
lieve that in their own baili-
wicks he is on the wrong track
because he has too many
things to do to fully study
every facet of the world situa-
ton.
The fact that Mr.. Dulles is
SO frequently outside the
country recalls the saying
that when the cat is away,
the, mice will play" 1t can
properly be applied to the State
Department. The Secretary's
prediction to have advisers
with a political philosophy
contrary to his own contributes
sometimes to the present UNI
certainty of our foreign policy.
It is all right not to have
"yes men" around any high
public official. But this does
not. mean that once a policy
has been established by the
top man it should be sabotaged
by second-stringers. And this
has happened on a number of

Secretary Dulles, Tough Job

occasions in the last three
years.
The method is simple. The
Secretary makes his final de-
cision: then he takes a trip.
The decision, marked top Sc
cret," is then leaked by those
with contrary views to friends
in the press corps. 1t becomes
a public issue.
When Mr.. Dulles returns, he
is told that public opinion Is
opposed to what he intended to
do. And more than once he has
had to reverse himself.
Another important source of
Mr.. Dulles difficulties is the
fact that, unlike his predecessor
Dean Acheson in the Truman
administration, he does not
have the same free hand on
major matters. AS a rule Presi-
dent Eisenhower. who has the
highest regard for his Secre-
tary of State, agrees with his
recommendation. But the many
White House advisers and con-
sultantS who are close to the
President and see him more
frequently have a greater inn
pact on the Chief Executives
thinking.
Occasionally they frown on
Mr.. Dulles policies and have
succeeded in causing the Presi-
dent to reverse them.
A typical instance of reversal
was the matter of the defense
of the offshore islands in the
Formosa Strait. In order to in
duce the Chinese Nationalist
to accept the evacuation of the
Tachen Islands, which they had
fortified and garrisoned at our
own demand, Mr.. Dulles sug-
gested on his own that Amer
lea defend the remaining off,
shore outposts, the Matsus and
Quemoys.

Minister George Yeh accepted
the suggestion, which was put
on paper and transmitted to

For Senator Mcclellan said
that in Auugst, 1854, lat a Sc

know what the items are be-

here refuses to disclose to
Congress just what the items
are that have been released
though they have been pub

Here are four conspicuous
examples of the 200 articles re-

The 82nd annual convention
OF the American Association of
School Administrators which
closed last week in Atlantic
City brought out some inter-
esting facts about American
high school education that
leave many pertinent ques-
tons unanswered.
The speakers Gas reported
In the newspapers) seemed to
be highly satisfied with devel-
opments, and with the fact
that they radically depart
from the traditional pattern in
other democratic countries
where high schools are re-
garded as repositories of aca-
demic learning and teach sub
jects for their own sake.
whereas American high school
education has shown eager
ness ito adapt its program to
the modern needs that arise
from social and economic
change"
One speaker, j. G. Unstattd.
professor of secondary educa-
ton at Texas University, re-
portedly described the Amer
lean high school as "the cata-
lytic agent that changes inert
knowledge into dynami C
power to serve human well
fare" (whatever that may
mean.
He cited as an example the
increase in automobile driver
education, which he thought
should be expanded since less
than half of our high schools
teach it. He also hailed steady
increase in vocational sub
jects.
Now, that young people
should learn how to drive au-
tomobiles properly will hardly
be disputed, but that that
knowledge has any more to do
with basic education than
learning to play baseball -
which also can be a remuner-
alive vocation--is highly dis
putable.

Sometimes the most sensa-
tional news is overlooked in
the hurry of modern news
gathering and maybe it's be-
cause the subjects themselves
are not easily grasped.
Thus q $500 contribution
to a campaign fund makes
headlines because it is easily
understood or is announced
under dramatic circumstances.
But one would think that the
revelation of scandal in
which the allies Of the United
States obtain American money
and then proceed to help to
arm and industrialize Soviet
Russia might also get full
coverage in the press. But it
received scant mention.
