Mild Labor Program

The administration has presented
to Congress program for labor legisla-
ton that Is essentially moderate and
restrained in its recommendations. It
takes into account some-but only some
of the abuses that have been revealed
In labor union administration and in
acknowledgement relations, including
particularly the misuse of union funds
and the suppression Of genuinely demo-
cratic voting procedures within some of
the most powerful labor organizations.
1t relates these evils to the public well
ware. as well as to the interests Of union
members and to industry in general.
On the whole. however, 1t proposes
a minimum Of Federal supervisory juris-
diction-mostly through suggested re-
porting requirements-rather than re-
pressive Intervention in union affairs.
And in his message Of transmittal, Presi-
dent Eisenhower emphasized. as he has
In the past, not only labor's established
right to organize and bargain collec-
lively but his awareness that union ON
Gals themselves already are doing
much" to eliminate the criticized prac-
tees. As Secretary OF Labor Mitchell
indicated several weeks ago, the program
would leave the basic responsibility for
honest and democratic trade unionism"
right where 1t Is now-with labor itself
but with the proposed reporting serving
as an added guarantee that acceptable
standards would be maintained.
Despite the generally mild nature OF
the program, however, the initial re-
action both from labor leadership and
from members Of Congress indicates
that prospects are not good for major
legislation this year. Although some
labor unions already file reports with the
Labor Department on their financial
affairs, others do not and no severe PEN
alties are provided. In Congress itself
there is such wide range OF opinion
about labor legislation, sure to be accen-
tuated in an election year, that agree
ment would be difficult to reach. And
the fact that the Mcclellan Committee
Of the Senate, which has uncovered some
Of the worst abuses, Is not nearly
through with It's inquiry has prompted
some Of the lawmakers to suggest await
ing that groups final recommendation
before attempting important reforms.
There is, in short, much more likelihood
OF conversation than Of action. II this

On the advice Of School Superin-

mentary science, but II the plan works

be valuable Institutional aid to grade.
high school and college students all
over the country.
The local program, to begin next
fall, was recommended by the Washing
ton Educational Television Association.
Instead Of using special channel, in
volving costly facilities, the District will
make use of commercial stations. Scien-
tific groups will cooperate in preparing
and presenting the demonstrations,
which will be brought to the children on
Tv screens installed in the classrooms.
Similar projects are under way in
half hundred school systems and in
more than 30 colleges and universities.
Some Of the subjects are televised on
closed-circuit channels, while many
schools. through cooperation Of local
Tv stations. receive programs on chan
nels open to the general public. Latest
college to engage In such an undertaking
and the first in virginia-is William
and Mary College in Norfolk. It will
conduct courses in world geography and
music appreciation over a Norfolk sta
ton, beginning February3.
Television cannot replace the
teacher, Of course, but some cities have
found that 1t has helped to relieve the
teacher shortage. Washington ought
not to be tagging in making use Of this
new medium of instruction.

Hexinq His Missiles

There is little prospect of an agree
ment on control Of long range ballistic
missiles II the terms and conditions at
tributed to Nikita Khrushchev represent
his final position on this matter.
In q speech at Minsk the Commu-
mist party boss has derided the Presi-
dents ballistic missile proposal as q
one-sided proposition. He said, In effect,
that we want to ban weapons which we
do not possess, and which could destroy
the United States, while seeking to re-
tain the use Of weapons with which this
country can hold the world in q state
Of fear" II there is to be any agree
ment on banning the ICBM. he added,
IL must come as part Of a package deal
which would oblige the West to disman-
tie bases from which the Soviet Union
could be attacked. bring about the re-
duction of foreign forces In Europe, set
up nonatomic zone In Central Europe
and renounce both the use and the test
ing Of atomic and hydrogen weapons.
II this Is an accurate statement Of
Mr.. Khrushchev's position, however log
ical It may seem from his point of view,
there Is little TO hope for from q summit
meeting. For in the prevailing interna-
tional climate, the West in general and
the United States in particular win
hardly be willing to scrap the only In
struments which, In their Judgment, are
serving to restrain Russian aggression.
Certainly they viii not be willing 70
scrap them in the absence of q genuine
disarmament agreement, an agreement
under which both sides would disarm
ana which could be effectively policed
to guard against violation OF evasion.
Still. Il seems to us that the posi-
bilities OF obtaining IAN aceeptahle
agreement sholld be explored with pa
tisnce and determination despite the
Khrushchev speech. As his remarks
were heard In London, he said that
summit talks now are very urgent"
Most certainly they are. For II the OBJ
stacles in the path Of an agreement
seem formidable today. they win seem
insurmountable when both sides have
added the ICBM to their arsenals, and
when the time difference between life
and death will have been narrowed to q

Ankoro Objective

The current Ankara meeting Of the
five-nation Baghdad Pact britain, Tur-
key, Iraq, Iran and Pakistan) has been
preceded not only by last weeks loud
Soviet blast against 1t. but also by sew
eral disquieting rumors suggesting that
the organization may be In danger Of
breaking up. One of these rumors Is
that the Iraqi government has indicated
q degree Of dissatisfaction that might
persuade 1t to withdraw and adopt q
"neutralist" policy. Another Is that there
Is a general feeling within the alliance
that disintegration may become dis
tinct possibility unless the United States
joins as fun member.
But unsubstantiated stories Of this
sort are always suspect. and so nobody
should be surprised II the Ankara con-
ference turns out to be reasonably sue
cessful despite some of the gloomier
"think pieces" Of the past few days. In
any event the United States. although
1t apparently has no intention Of be-
coming one Of the pact's members at
this time, has left no room for doubt
that 1t stands strongly behind the or
ganization and win keep on backing Il
with all proper and necessary aid. Sec
rotary Dulles presence at the current
ministerial meeting, together with the
firm promises he has Just made there,
gives special emphasis to that fact-a
fact additionally UNDERSIGNED by our
country's continuing participation in
the important defensive work Of the
bloc's economic, military and counter
subversion committees.
This Is as 1t should be. Ever since
the Baghdad Pact came into being In
1885 1t has had only single purpose
namely. the good one of seeking to pro-
mote mutual security through concert
Of political. economic and military
measures designed to cope effectively
with the ever-present threat Of Com
munist subversion and aggression In the
Middle East. That Is why the Soviet
leaders have been so virulent in their
verbal assaults on the organization.
And It is also why our own country
speaking through the President and Mr..
Dulles on the eve Of the Ankara meet
ing-has reafiirmed constant and UNI
wavering support" for what Turkey,
Iraq. Iran and Pakistan have been doing
to promote their material well-being and
defend their independence against the
menace of ned Imperialism.
Accordingly. in spite OF rumors to
the contrary In spite Of the Kremlin's
threatful propaganda, and In spite Of
Egyptian and Syrian efforts TO undercut
the pact in the Arab world. It Is difficult
to believe that Iraq or any other member
Of the alliance has come to feel that this
collective security objective can be safely
abandoned now. Actually, in view Of the
stepped-up Soviet drive to win mastery
over the entire Middle East, It is an
objective that has become more i'm
portant than ever. and We may hope
that the Afkara conferees will act real
istically and resolutely in keeping with

Before advocating wide

Of our school system, the

Reorganization should devote
full attention to the equally
pressing problem Of staining
our expanding schools with
skilled. well-paid teachers.
We would have better edu-
cation value for our school
dollar by keeping the same

money saved in scholarships
for young people to become
teachers. in grants for our
present teachers to receive
higher training. and in SAL
airy increases adequate to at

that teaching the It'll grade

school under the Us plan
was Just too much. AS a for
mer public school kinder
garten teacher ! would say
the 18th grade is typical Of all
grades in elementary school.
The nature Of the work is
such that the teacher simply
must get used to doing at
least ten things at once at
all times. When classes are
as large as IS to 40. the
teacher is literally responsible
for hundreds Of different
things. Add to this the I'M

we convey to potential
teachers the desirable aspects
Of this most essential pro-
fession In such a way that
they will stick with 1t until
they have gained the neces-
sary self-confidence and have
mastered the techniques?
Many who have prepared to
teach never enter the pro-
fession and many others drop
out during their first year.
This is a problem the gen.
