Plan for Limited
Anti-Red Oath
For Teachers Hit

A decision by the Arlington
School Board to limit a non-
Communist oath requirement to
new teachers has been attacked
as being discriminatory and
ineffective" by a pro-segrega-
tion group.
On Saturday the board voted
8 to 2 against extending its re-
Gently adopted regulation to all
teachers and school employees
The action means that only
new applicants for teaching
jobs will be required to state
whether they have belonged tc
the Communist Party or any
other subversive organization.
In a letter to school officials
the Arlington Defenders oi
State Sovereignty and Individ-
ual Liberties urged that the
new policy be abandoned.
The boards action, the De-
tenders said, was grossly in
effective" and highly discrimi-
natory to the small group oi
new teachers. -"

unsuccessfully attempted to ex-
tend the non-Communist affi-
davit requirement we're Robert

"OUR COMMISSION was

"OUR COMMISSION was
started in 1905 when Elihu
Root was Secretary of State.
We deal with international
water problems.
Come to think of it, it's
not only water. We have
been trying to do something
about pollution of the air
from the river between
Detroit and Windsor, Ontario.
"The big problem concerns
dams on the Columbia River.
You probably think of the
Columbia as the border be-
tween Oregon and Washing
ton. But it is an interna-
tional river with its source
in Canada, where it takes a
big loop before flowing down
into the United States"
From then on, as he dis
cuSsed the dams on the
Columbia, the salmon prob
lem and the diversion plan
in Canada which has some
thing to do with the
Kootenay River as we'll as
the Columbia, this fastener
was lost.
We've been a little un-
diplomatic with Canada" he
said. When we announced
the Libby Dam which would
back the Kootenay into
Canada and flood thousands
of acres of Canadian land
we merely said we'd buy the
land. Canadians didn't like
that and, as a result, the
dam hasn't been built.
Nov we are making
studies on both sides of the
border to determine what
water plans would be most
beneficial to both"

District Pay
Hearings Set
Mansfield Appears
Thursday on Bill

The Senate District Fiscal
Subcommittee today set hear
ings for $50 am. Thursday on
proposals to raise pay of Dis
trict police and flremen.
Pending is a bill sponsored
by Senator Mansfield, Democrat
of Montana, to increase salaries
of privates % per cent and of
chiefs Is per cent. The Sem
ator will testify for his own bill,
by far the most generous under
discussion.
Committee members still are
awaiting recommendations of
the District Commissioners.
They repeatedly have sent the
Budget Bureau a pay measure
increasing salaries of privates
by 8 per cent and of chiefs by
IL per cent. Doubled longevity
pay increases expected to be
wrapped into the Commits
sioners' bill would be added in
centives for veteran police and
| flremen, however.
Senator Proxmire, Democrat
| of Wisconsin, will preside over
the Thursday hearing in the
absence of subcommittee Chair
man Frear, Democrat of Della
ware.
The bill was scheduled fol-

begin work on a number of sal
ary proposals. Sweeping revi-
SionS of scales for classified
workers and teachers as well
as police and f1remen are ex-
pected fro mcity heads as soor

knew in the slums to public
housing, causing them to be
delinquent in their rent and to
actually destroy equipment and
try to wreck apartments in
order to avenge themselves.
But, nowhere in Washington
can be found the horrendous
conditions that exist in New
York City.
The big reason. says James
H. Ring, NCHA's executive Sec
retary, is that Washington has
not built the gigantic IS and 16
story development with up
wards of 5000 families and
their many children crowded
together.
Most of the large families in
NCHA housing live in row de-
velopments that give each
family a little two-story house
of its own with its own front
and back yard to care for. This,
says Mr.. Ring, inculcates each
family with a sense of pride
and responsibility and speeds
its adjustment to decent living
Supervision Helps
But just as important is the
welfare help given families and
supervision exercised by prof.
ect managers and their staffs.
This supervision isn't always
appreciated by the occupants.
Many don't like being ques-
toned about their jobs, their
incomes. their visitors. Even
in daylight, a visitor to public
housing will find a great many
shades drawn tightly to keep
prying eyes from seeing in.
( Also a factor has been the
fairly strict tenant selection
policy that attempts to get a
cross section Of those eligible
into NCHA units. BY limiting
the number of lowest income
families given housing, many Of
the worst problem families have
been excluded.
I This latter policy-Due to be
somewhat modified-has slowed

The choice first was revealed

Some Of them hold jobs in the

Although Mr.. Reid will moi

plans to break in on the job by
spending some time each week
in Arlington with the outgoing
superintendent.
Mr.. Reid, who has held the
State assistant superintend-
ent's position since 1851, told
the board yesterday:
II am grateful for the oppor-

Francois villon, the Pari-

The reason the writer is
fond OF the former Governor
of Oregon has nothing to
do with public or private

1t is that he has always
been good for a story, espe-
cially the first time.
1t was a very interesting
assignment, You remember
President ELECT Eisenhower
did something very unusual.
He announced his cabinet
about two months before in
auguration. The assignment
waslto call on each appointee
and write his story at some
length.
Airplane tickets had been
obtained to go to oregon
when Mr.. Mckay arrived in
Washington.
A half-hour talk with the
man produced one of the
best stories in the series.

IT WAS ABOUT a man of
two wars. In 1917. 23-year-
old Douglas Mckay had
married and enlisted on the
same day. AS a lieutenant
in the 91st Division in the
Meuse- -Argonne offensive of
October, 1918, he had been
hit by six fragments Uf a
high-exploSive shell and had
spent 13 months in a
hospital.
In December, 1941. he was
on a vacation trip with a
daughter In Hawaii. 1t had
something 70 do with a foot
ball game that the VILLAIN
cite University football team
of Salem, Oregs played with
the University of Hawaii on
Saturday, December 6. At
8 o'clock on the morning of
Sunday, December 7, he was
almost hit by a shell explod-
ing in front of his hotel.
The japanese were attack
ing Pearl Harbor. He came
back to the States and be-
came an Army officer again.
In 1856, he resigned from
the Eisenhower cabinet to
run against Wayne Morse
for the Senate and was de-
feated.
What are you doing?" the
Rambler asked him at lunch

apparently are being forced to

But he stressed that small
