JAN I, 1858

Ct1lCAIIO - (AINP) - II z
annual convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Teachers, AFL-
CLIO, in session at the Knicker-
booker hotel here last week, had
its moment of greatness when it
turned back an appeal to recon-
slider the merging of White and
Negro locals by next Jan. /.
The plea, made by southern
representatives of the federation,
was turned down by the unions
executive council. The southern
contingent pleaded that further
discussion should be had on the
merging, that while they believed
migration possible, the $1,000
member federation was harning
itself by setting a deadline for the
merger.
The Jan. / date for merger was
set at the organizations 1856 con-
vention in Cincinnati. Last De-
cember /, 855 members of the At
lanta local withdrew in protest
against the ultimatum. At last
weeks convention, however, the
executive council, though giving
thoughtful consideration to the
southern contingent's appeal, re-
manned adamant in the stand
taken at its 40th convention.
Earlier in the week at a "Dem-
ocratic Human Relations" lun-
cheon session, the teachers lis
tened to an address by Edwin c.
Berry, executive director of the
Chicago Urban League, who,
among other things, declared that
Chicago is "the most segregated
city, reSidentially speaking in the
nation. He said that "this causes
us to have segregation in all the
institutions within the segregated
areas: churches, school, play
grounds and businesses"
HERES HOW IT WORKS
'Here is how it works." Berry
said. when we deny a man a
job for which he is qualified, we
keep that man so poor he cannot
buy the goods the rest of us pro-
duce. We force him to take his
firmly to live in the slums. By
products of unemployment dis
elimination are poverty, disease,
crime, delinquency and PERSONAL
ity disintegration."

stand the importance of develop
ing a society of brotherhood, and
we must become interracially ma
ture and sophisticated. This means

Stronq Are the Roots

With an all-star cast of Americas
writer's, owners of the liveliest and most
provocative by-lineS, its November issue
takes the Atlantic Monthly into its
second 100 years.
Zone hundred" is an impressive
number of years, perhaps nowhere more
so than in the publishing industry. 1t
teStifies not merely to vitality and re-
Spectability in the case of the Atlantic
Monthly, but to something more i'm
portant, growth
This is not the growth reflected in
circulation figures although it is cheer
ing to know that the Atlantic's reader
ship today is the greatest ever. It has
to do rather with keeping in step intel
lectually, ideologically, and in the MAIN
tenance of the best in the evolution of
taste.
1t is significant of the Atlantic's
outward and onward reach that its
greatest State-size circulation is to be
found in California This testifies JOY
fully to the hardness of New England
roots, that they can produce a topmoSt
branch so far away and so symbolic of
oneness in this America

Arlington Outlook

The official tally in Arlington shows
that ABC Candidate Herbert Brown de-
feated his AIM opponent, Maynard
Magruder, with a comfortable margin
Of 2,255 votes. The respective totals
were Brown, 14,015; Magruder, 11,760.
This vote for Mr.. Magruder was sub
stantial, and these 11,760 Arlington res
idents will be especially interested in the
winners post-election statement
We thought that it was a good
statement. Mr.. Brown made it clear,
as he should, that he intends to stand
by the ABC policies advocated in the
campaign and Endorsed by the voters.
Beyond this, however, he pledged him
self to work for an end to the bitterness
and the divisive influences which were
so conspicuous during the campaign.
We do not know whether it will be pos
sible to achieve this, for the division
between the two factions is deep. If it
is to be done in any significant degree,
moderation will be needed on the part
of both ABC and AIM. One thing, how
ever, is clear The outlook for Arlington
will be improved in direct proportion to
the extent that factionaliSm is sub
ordinated to the larger interests of the
whole community.

Freedom in Russia

The following is an excerpt from
Nikita Khrushchev's 15,000-word adj
dress of the other day: Certain leaders
of the right-wing Socialists, and with
them the latest revisioniSts, reason in
approximately this manner: Now if the
Communists were to allow the possibility
Of hostile political activity against the
Socialist system in the countries where
they are in power, then we would admit
that they have freedom and would praise
them However, the reviSioniSts will
not have to praise Communists for such
things"
This is another way of saying that
the USSR, at least as long as Mr..
KhruShchev is the top man over there,
will never tolerate the formation or
existence of any kind Of political party
opposed to communism and seeking to
win Office in fair and honest voting con-
tests in which the Russian people would
be at liberty to choose as they saw At.
The Soviet dictatorship knows what 1t
is doing Since it cannot stand the test
Of free and unfettered elections among
the masses it exploits and subjugates, 1t
simply prevents such nonsense with
force and terror. 1t is not looking for
praise.
Needless to say, the Red tyranny is

being practical when 1t acts this way
practical in the sense of doing what Is
necessary to maintain itself in power.
But the Khrushchevs will not live for
ever, and the more educated the Russian
people become, the more they null over
the significance of their natural, Unborn
ability-ability of a sort that has en-
abled their scientists to achieve great
things like the Sputniks-the less they
will favor the idea of being permanently
enslaved by mere handful Of despots.
Some day, we may be reasonably sure,
they will throw off their present chains
and attain the dignity of being their
own masters.

Education ReopproisoI

American Education Week, begin
ming today, is a propitiouS time for re-
appraising our colleges and schools in
the light of the Nations critical need
for more scientists and engineers and
specialists in this highly chronological
age. Here is an opportunity for public
examination of educational facilities
and for weighing the public's share Of
responsibility for the shortcomings of
American education. For the public
cannot evade part of the blame for con-
ditions which have led to shortage of
teachers, especially in the science field,
and to sadly lowered output of young
men and women qualified for vital
research and development.
President Eisenhower, in proclaim
ing the week for public observance,
called on all Americans to SHOW their
active support for every program de-
signed to improve our schools and
colleges, which are firmly engaged in
building better and stronger Nation"
He had in mind, no doubt, not merely
moral support but willingness to help
pay for the facilities and the kind Of
teachers that are so urgently needed by
our educational institutions. The public
will get precisely the type of facilities
and faculties 1t is willing and able to
support.
indicative of one concrete way in
which the public can aid in the produc-
ton of more and better graduates is the
scholarship program undertaken in Ar
lington by the County Council PTA. This
organization, with the cooperation of
other groups, already has provided
scholarships to Arlington graduates
desiring to train for the teaching pro-
fession. And on National Teachers Day,
next Thursday, an affiliated organiza-
ton, the Potomac Woman's Club, will
formally establish a scholarship fund
for summer study by teachers in selected
fields Similar programs have been
undertaken in many other cities. 1t is
through such public-spirited civic or
CARNATIONS and their activities that our
best hope lies for an awakening of the
public to the needs of American educa-
tion-an awakening that will produce
better schools, more teachers and
greatly increased number of graduates
interested in and qualified for research
and development for peace and defense.

Welcome Reversal

In effect, in directing the Army to
launch earth satellites, Defense Secre-
tary McElroy has announced a policy
reversal that seems plainly designed to
regain, as quickly as possible, some of
the prestige our country has lost as a
result of Russia's great success with
Sputnik and Sputnik II.
Wholly apart from its military i'm
plications, the launching of these two
man-made moonS-the first in the his
tory of the ld-unquestionab rep
resents Soviet propaganda triumph of
the first magnitude. Throughout all
parts of the globe, it has shaken conf
dence in American scientific and tech
biological know-how, and the adverse
psychological and political effects of
such situation are likely to grow as
long as we fail to send up some satellites
of our own.
Accordingly, to that extent at
least, the new policy implicit in Mr..
McElroy's order is welcome one. What
it means is that the Nays Project VAN
guard-which heretofore has operated
in sort of vacuum as our sole satellite
undertaking. now be supplemented
by a major Army effort It will be an
effort involving use of a modified Ju-
piter-C test vehicle similar to the one
which was fired in September, 1856, to
an altitude of more than 900 miles and
over distance of $500 miles.
This is the missile that Army experts
have had in mind in declaring recently
that they could have launched an earth
satellite months ahead of the first Soviet
Sputnik if they had been permitted to
do so. Now they will have an oppor-
tunity to give concrete expression to
their confidence. We hope they achieve
the greatest measure of success, and
the sooner the better.

Missile Investigation

Senator Lyndon johnson has intro
duced his forthcoming investigation of
our miSSile-satellite program with four
observations which no man will presume
to challenge. The Majority Leader says
that the times call for leadership by.
strong men, that feeble denials of the
facts will not strengthen the United
States, that timid minds will not produce
bold ideas, and that hesitant souls will
not win the contest. to control outer
space.
If these comments bear a certain
resemblance to stump speech, we are
nevertheless glad that the Texas Sena-
tor Is going to take personal charge Of
this investigation. For we believe that
when the chips are down he will not
stray off into partisan inquiry designed
to serve partisan ends. He has said that
the purpose of his investigation is to
develop facts, that he is not going to
PREJUDICE the facts, and that any in
formation which his subcommittee may
be able to gather will be used for the
sole purpose of strengthening our ma
tional security.
We confess to some uncertainty as
to the precise purpose of this inquiry.
It can hardly be that the subcommittee
members intend to set themselves up as
directors of the missile-satellite pro-
grams. They are not qualified for this
job and their inquiry will not equip them
for 1t. Furthermore, the lines of these
programs have already been laid down
and, in the main, we must stay with
them. The most useful role for the sub
committee, we should think, will be to
ascertain whether there is job for
Congress to do with respect to appro-
priationS, debt ceiling, etc. If this is so,
then there is a real opportunity for
Senator Johnson and his committee
members to lay the groundwork for the
case which will have to be presented to
Congress when the legislators return.
Assuming this to be the basic objective,
the subcommittee will need the fullest
cooperation from the Eisenhower adj
ministration, and we trust that it will
be forthcoming.
