Senator McCIeIIon's Loss

There must be many thousands Of
Americans who feel sense of personal
loss in the latest tragedy which has
come into the life of Senator John
Mcclellan. For this quiet, unassuming
man from Arkansas, through the me-
dunn of his televised committee hear
ingS, has won place for himself in the
hearts and in the affections of countless
people whom he has never met in person.
For them, it is as though this latest
misfortune had befallen a friend or a
neighbor.
Senator Mcclellan had three sons.
Max died Of an illness contracted during
the war. John was killed in an auto
mobile accident. And now James, the
last OF the three, the son whom the
Senator had hoped to join some day in
the practice Of law, has lost his life in
an airplane crash.
This is a heavy burden for one man
to be called upon to bear. Yet it must
be borne, and largely borne alone. One
would like to think, however, that there
may be some small comfort for the Sem
ator in the thought that there are many
people, unknown to him, who share his
grief and who extend their sincerest
sympathy.

Inc Hatlonhl INTEREST mas been well
served by congressional action thus far
on extension of the Reciprocal Trade
Agreements Act. In an impressive dis
play OF bipartisanship, the Senate this
week approved an extension bill assur-
ing that this keystone of our foreign
trade policy will remain in effect and
without potentially damaging restric-
tons. On the Anal vote, Senate senti-
ment percentagewise was even more
overwhelming than that recorded in the
House last month. In each case. the
Arm stand taken by the administration
and the teamwork displayed by leader
ship Of both parties are entitled to share
fully In the credit.
There remains now only the matter
Of adjusting differences between the two
bills, all Of which are believed suscept-
ible Of compromises that would be sat
isfactory and mutually acceptable. The
last serious threat TO the legislation was
averted when the Senate, by So to ~,
voted down an amendment that would
have prevented the President, unless
supported by majority in both
branches of Congress, from overruling
the Tariff Commission on recommended
tions for higher duties or import curbs.
The House bill takes an opposite APP
proach to this issue, permitting the
presidential veto" unless it is disap-
proved by a two-thirds vote in each
chamber.
Actually, only two relatively i'm
portant differences now exist between
the House and Senate bills. The House
measure extends the act by i've years,
as recommended by the administration,
while the Senate imposed a three-year
limitation. Related to this time element
is the provision permitting tariff -cutting
by per cent yearly-to a total of Is
per cent in the House measure and only
Is per cent in the Senate bill.
However these and other minor diff
ferences are adjusted, the final result
will be reaff1rmation of American re-
solve to keep our ports and our markets
open to healthy two-way commercial
relationship with the world around us.
Anything less, through form of self
imposed isolationism, would be damag-
ing to the economy and ultimately to
the security of ourselves and of the COM
munity of free nations. 1t is gratifying
that Congress has not authorized such
a retreat.

'Bnds-of-o-Feuther'

President Meany of the AFL-CIO
was dealing in more than an exercise
in wit when he described the new Hoffa-
led Conference on Transportation Unity
as "a birdS-of-a-feather federation" He
was restating his own uncompromising
antagonism toward the discredited lead
ership Of the Transfers Union and the
international Longshoremen's Associa-
ton, both expelled from the AFL-CIO.
And he was also bringing into the open
a personal diSapproval of the leadership
Of the National Maritime Union, headed
by Joe Curran, which is one Of the
original partners in the Hoffa combine.
Finally, he was serving notice that time
is running out on semifriendly relations
between Federation unions and those
that choose to operate by less exacting
standards outside
1t was on this last matter that Mr..
Meany was most specific in pointing out
that, under the Federation constitution,
"any alliance to build up the strength
and prestige of unions that have been
put outside the Federation for violation
Of its ethical practices requirements is
out" Since this was the basis for ex-
pulsion Of the Transfers and Dockwork-
erS, the Meany announcement evidently
is hitting directly at the series of ar
rangements and agreements which the
Transfers in particular have made in
recent months with unions still in the
AFL-CIO. Almost simultaneously with
the Meany statement there were indica-
lions that the International Association
Of Machinists, major affiliate of the
Federation, may withdraw from an or
ganizing pact with the Transfers
Union.
The AFL-CIO Executive Council is
due to meet in mid-August and the cur
rent maneuvering in the transport labor
field will be subject on its agenda.
While Mr.. Hoffa has disclaimed intent
to set up rival labor federation, his
unity conference could at least provide
a framework for such a rival organiza-
ton. The August meeting will be good
time for the AFL-CIO to make clear
that 1t is serious about its standards
on ethical practices" and that men,
Der unions should not be parties to
off-limits compromises.

White House Press Secre-
tary Hagerty is rendering a
disservice to the President by
allowing the press to print the
verbatim, unedited transcript
of his press conferences, thus
turning every Thursday morn
ing into a real nightmare for
the Presidents friends as well
as for himself should he ever
care to read what he said on
Wednesday.
Franklin d. Roosevelt, a
master Of spoken as well as of
written English, and Mr.. Tru-
man seldom permitted the
press to quote them literally.
Why doesn't somebody-in
the interest of the Presidents
prestige-translate these I'M
ineligible utterances into
correct English, or edit them?
If Hagerty can't edit the
Presidents statements, 60
back to the old tradition: Ask
the press to paraphrase the
Presidents answers. Do not
let them quote himl For the
Presidents sake.

Officers as Teachers

With the cooperation of Purdue
and Duke universities, the National
Science Foundation has Just begun an
experiment that may prove to be of
great value in helping the United States
meet an ever-growing demand for COM
petent science and mathematics teach
ers-a vital educational resource already
In short supply.
The experiment is designed to deter
mine the feasibility of undertaking a
major program to refrain retired off,
GERS Of our armed services for full-time
Jobs as such teachers. Large numbers
Of these men have had considerable
mathematical and scientific training
and experience in the course of their
military careers. More than that, since
many Of them are relatively young when
they retire, and eager for professional
work of this sort, there is little doubt
that refreSher courses would equip them
to teach effectively not only in our sec
ondary schools, but in our colleges as
we'll
Accordingly, working with the Ma
tional Science Foundation, Purdue and
Duke are now each holding pioneering
classes IN which a dozen retired Navy
captains and Army colonies are enrolled.
The classes at present are limited to an
exhaustive review of mathematics, fol-
lowed by a period of practice teaching
with pay. The retraining will involve
year of such study and special work, and
1t will lead to a masters degree for all
those who complete the program sue
cesSfully. After that, these men will
almost certainly find a lot of schools
bidding for their services.
Although this is only pilot project,
1t is full of promise. Presumably, If 1t
works out as well as hoped, 1t will be
expanded in way that could create a
big new pool Of sorely needed math and
science teachers. The NSF, along with
