Justice Reed
Steps Down

announced last week that he would
retire on February 25. ending l9
years Of history packed service or
the bench.
Justice Reed first came into Gov
eminent service during the admin
istration of Herbert Hoover, gained
a reputation as a liberal while serv-
ing as Solicitor General under
Franklin Roosevelt, and later took
the path Of conservatism on the
court. (See story by Daniel Ber-
man on this page.)
During his tenure, the court
heard many Of the history making
cases Of this century, including some
of the challenges to New Deal legis-
lation in the thirties. the wartime
cases of the forties and the civil
liberties decisions since.
Speculation as to his successor
mentioned a number of Midwest
judges. plus Thomas E. Dewey and
Leonard Hall. recently retired Re-
publican National Chairman. Mr..
Eisenhower has said that he would
prefer to select his appointees to
the high court from among compe-
tent judges of the lower courts
whenever possible.
Meanwhile, Justice William J.
Brennan. appointed last September
by President Eisenhower. is still
waiting confirmation by the Senate,
which. in turn, is waiting word from
its judiciary Committee on the
nomination.

A King Is Welcomed

Emphasizing the administration
determination to assume positive
role in future developments in the
Middle East. President Eisenhower
on Wednesday welcomed King Saud
of Saudi Arabia with an enthusiasm
unequaled during the visits of pre-
ceding foreign dignitarieS.
The Kings welcome here con-
trasted sharply with the chilly re-
ception he got in New York, where
Mayor Robert F. Wagner refused
him an official greeting.
The President himself was on
hand at National Airport when the
Columbine III. his personal air

minal Never before has Mr.. Eisen-
hover personally greeted visitor
from abroad. His appearance was
construed as proof of the gravity
and concern with which the ad-
ministration views the troublesome
situation In the area of Saud's oil
laden homeland.
Saud, an absolute. feudal mon
arch in the ancient Arabian tradi-
ton, is considered key figure in
American efforts to retain de-
cisive measure OF Western influ-
ence in the Middle East. His desert
kingdom includes the holy cities
Of Mecca and Medina. sacred TO all

cts own soil. Thus Sauds influ-

BY the end of the week. the pros
poets were all but certain that the
Eisenhower Doctrine would WIN
Senate approval as predicted. But
there remains strong possibility
that the Senate may succeed in
soothing its misgivings by adopting
one or several amendments to the
proposal as set forth by the admin
istration. 1t appears unlikely, how
ever. that any amendments adopted
will alter significantly the general
outlines of the Presidents original

The Need Formula

The President stood by the need
formula of his 1856 proposals which
would distribute the money to the
States with the greatest needs and
the least ability to pay. 1t is on this
point that the administration pro-
posal is likely to run into trouble.
Just as 1t did last year.
Representative Augustine B.
Kelley Of Pennsylvania already has
introduced a Democratic school aid
bill. In addition to calling for a
six-year, s3.6 billion program. 1t
would base allotments on relative
Sabotage population. with State
funds being matched uniformly on
a per-pupil basis.
Under the administration plan,
II States. mostly in Northeast and
North Central United States. would
be required to put up matching
funds exceeding the amount dis
tributed by Washington. 1t is in
these States and among their dele
cations to Congress that the most
solid opposition to the need" for
mula is found. Representing these
States are "a Senator'S and 247
Representatives-more than half Of
the House.

vote against an aid bill. But when

His Role Is Important

Considering King Saud's religious
Importance, his vast riches, and the
strategic location of his oil-produc-
ing country. his friendship for the
United States and the West has
been decided to be of major inn
portance TO the success of develop
ing American policy toward the
Middle East.
Communist aganda, of
course. is expected to belabor as
heavily as possible the character
of King Saud's regime and the
feudal absolutism of his rule. Such
a propaganda attack could, it is
admitted, have measurable effect
OF the more radical elements among
the Arab nationalists. But against
that calculated loss many OF our
policy planners believe, would be

is viewed as immense in a religious
sense. whatever it may be polit-
ically.
Besides the significance of King
Saud's religious role, there are also
other considerations involved in
the State Departments effort to
assure his benevolence.
There is. first of all, the fact of
his country's immense petroleum
resources. vital--as events since the
blocking of the SueZ Canal have
painfully shown-to the economies
of Western Europe.
Secondly. the United States Stra-
tegic Air Force views the contin-
uation Of the American air base at
Dhahran as essential to an effective
defense against Communist agrees
sion.
King Saud's possible influence on
Egypt's Col NasSer has been a mat

nationalism in the same sense as
does Col. NaSser. On the contrary.

Lobor's House,:
Family Friction

AFL-CIO family ties. so loosely
knotted in 1855, seemed in danger
of becoming unraveled last week
by the kind of jurisdictionRl dis
putes that for so long plagued the
AFL before the marriage.
Involved were a group of former
AFL unions that have had extern
sive experience in challenging
brothers Of other internationals
over who should handle what
work. The 10 unions of the Build
ing and Construction Trades De-
partment were ready for open war;
fare with industrial unions over the
question of which groups. should
handle construction and mainte-
nance work at industrial plants.
Already the building trades
group has rejected compromise
proposed by AFL-CIO President
George Meany (see profile by Nor
man Walker on Page A-27) There
was faint hope that the AFL-CIO's
policy-making executive council.
meeting in Miami Beach. would
find a solution before adjourning
on Tuesday. But spokesman for
the building trades unions were not
so hopeful. The only solution they
could see was unconditional sur
render by the industrial unions.
In the background was growing
restiveness among AFL-CIO con-
stituents at the State level. In many
States. opposition still runs high,
especially among former AFL affili-
ates, against the merger. though the
old AFL groups more often than not
hold the top organization jobs in
the States. CLIO leaders in the States,
though their unions are outnum-
bered by AFL groups, insist on equal
representation.
If the conflicts persist through the
coming months. especially the jur-
isdictional disputes. titanic battle
can be expected between two giants
of the AFL-CIO. They are Dave
Beck, tough, hard-hitting head Of
the Transfers Union. and Walter
Reuther. president Of the Auto
Workers, who long has been anxious
to match his artful genius against
the mailed fist of the Transfers
boss.
In such a battle, Mr.. Beck. whose
union is the largest in labor. num-
bering IA million members, would
throw his power behind the build
ing trades group. Mr.. Reuther would
take his immensely wealthy auto
union to the side of the industrial
groups. Mr.. Reuther also may find
an ally in David Mcdonald. head Of
the United Steelworkers. who up to
now has not been among Mr.. Reu-
theirs chief admirers.

School children all across America
are attending classes in rented
houses, YMCA gymnasiums.
churches. warehouses and even
trailers.
In the real schoolhouses as many
as so youngsters are crowded into
classrooms designed for 80.
Because of halliday sessions mil
lions of children will have spent
from one-fourth to one-third less
time in public schools than did
their fathers and mothers.
Studies are producing all sorts
of shocking facts and predictions:
The excessive free time resulting
from curtailed school sessions fos-
tiers juvenile delinquency. say some
experts. Future years will see
literally millions Of mentally and
emotionally impaired adults whose
troubles can be traced to the ten
sons and Illustrations Of noisy
crowded classrooms. say others.
There is even fear that youngsters
forced to eat rapidly in school cafe
terias 50 the next shift can take
over the tables will be prey to
castro intestinal disorders.
And in the meantime school en-
rollments are rising at the rate of
over l million a year, creating pres
sures that render many new schools
inadequate even before their doors
are opened.
This national problem-some say
national shame - brought from
President Eisenhower last week
request to Congress for a Federal
program which would spend 81 bill
lion in four years on construction
of new classrooms.
Last year, Mr.. Eisenhower asked
for the same program over flve-
year period but that was defeated
in the House. Since then, enroll
ment has increased by 100000,
the shortage of teachers has in
creased by 10000, and the short
age of classrooms has increased by
10000.
In his most recent proposal, Mr..
Eisenhower asked:
Q Federal grants of $1.3 billion in
four years for school construction
on a basis of need and ability to
pay. Federal funds are to be
matched by State funds after the
first year.
Q Authorization of $3.50 million
over four years for Government
purchase of school construction
bonds when local school districts
cannot sell them at reasonable
rates.
Q Advances of funds to State
school financing agencies that are
unable to raise funds because of
legal limitations on the issuance Of
bonds.
. Authorization Of $40 million in
matching funds to States to pay for
school construction planning.

eress said:

toinine and improving liberty Of the mind.
for exercising both the rights and cbliso-
tions Of freedom, for understanding the
world in which we live"
In an apparent attempt to COM
fort those who fear that Federal aid
to education is inevitably tied to
Federal direction. Mr.. Eisenhower
emphasized at four points in his
message that the Federal role
SHOULD be merely to facilitate
never to control-education

court.
The Reed replacement will be his
fourth. II Justice Frankfurter re-
tires, as has been rumored, his re-
placement will be Mr.. Eisenhower's
fifth on the nine-man body, making
an Eisenhower majority"
The degree to which Justice
Reeds departure will affect the
court decisions will be determined,
Of course, by the political and legal
orientation OF the man President
Eisenhower appoints TO replace him.
1t is reasonable to expect. however,
that the change will edge the
court toward the left side OF the
road rather than toward the right.
Had Liberal Background
Justice Reed was the second man
placed on the court by President
Franklin d. Roosevelt. Only three
months before he was sworn in,
Hugo L. Black had taken his seat
as the first New Deal justice and
had started establishing liberal
record quite consistent with the
theology Of the President who had
chosen him. 1t was generally as
sumed that Justice Reed would fol-
low suit.

Problem for Meony

If at that time the Transfers still
are inclined to defy the investi-
gators. George Meany will have the
biggest problem of his career on
his hands.
Despite his position and the fact
that he will have the support of
almost all of the labor union move
ment. at least one, and perhaps both
hands. will be tied behind him. He
cannot order the Transfers to CO.
operate with the investigators, for
all of the AFL-CIO's some 140
unions were made autonomous by
the constitution that grew out of
the merger.
His most drastic action would be
a recommendation that the Team
sters-all Ia million of them-be
expelled from the parent organiza-
ton. A break with a union of such
size could tear asunder the ALL
Clio and carry its efforts for move
ment-wide harmony back two
decades.
There is a chance he might not
have to face such a decision. Mr..
Beck is known to be anxious to
avoid any such showdown at
present.

The Rocketeering Issue

Mr.. Beck and his union already
were in hot water with the ALL
CLIO and a committee of Senators
looking into labor racketeering.
One teamster official pleaded the
Fifth Amendment when the Sem
ators last month confronted him
with some pointed questions about
the handling of union funds. SUBJ
sequently. the AFL-CIO. anxious
to clean house. drafted an ethical
practices code which held that
union leaders invoking the Fifth
Amendment in racketeering in
vestigations had no right to con-
tinue in their Jobs. 1t was a 22-1
vote. with Mr.. Beck casting the only
dissenting ballot.
Mr.. Beck stayed busy much Of
the week explaining that the
financial affairs of his union were
in absolutely proper order. that
the Teamster Unions assets had
