Worker Asks Congress Aid Against

Now, since the union has
obtained from the employer
a contract providing for what
is termed the union shop"
under existing Federal law
the employer is required to
dismiss anyone who after 80
days does not become a mem
Der of the union. Mr.. Ber-
field, therefore, has until
June l6 next to make up his
mind whether to join the
union or lose his employ

give UP his job, but If he
doesn't he will have to stul-

in effect, the two loyalty
oaths he has taken-one to a
civil defense organization and
one to a local school board.
He has pledged that he is not
Identified with any Commu-

Mr.. Berfield told the COM

conscience join the union
because he would not be up
holding his loyalty oaths to
the fullest extent. He wrote
a letter to the Senate sub

First Of all, Senator Gore
would open the windows to

Then he would raise all the

if a bottle Of alcoholic con-

He looks like a collar ad.

Redding said, Democrats sue

Dewey, who could not publicly
disagree with some Of the
things Taft espoused. This left
Dewey spouting irrelevancies
about what the Democrats were
doing"
Democrats also were ridi-

Redding recalled. But this
ceased. he said, after Presi-
dent Truman personally called
him over to the White House
and told him it must stop.
Mr.. Redding said many
members of the national COM
mittee staff, particularly Mrs.
India Edwards, then director
of the women's division, did
a wonderful job and deserve
much credit" for Mr.. Truman's
reelection.
Turning to the current po-
litical situation, Mr.. Redding
said the outcome of the pri-
maries to date, particularly
CALIFORNIA;, caused him to
make the public prediction
that the Democrats will win a
45-man majority in the House
this November" Privately, he
added, he would predict a
margin of so.
Mr.. Redding also predicted
the Democrats would win a
substantial majority in the
Senate next year." and would
take over the White House in
1860.

Washington. Unfortunately,
this is true, at least inasfar

The Philippine Ambassa-

Gen. Carlos Romulo, has
taken of his diplomatic

in a letter addressed to the
managing editor of Time

a series of articles written in
that publication which he
contended contained only
half-truths and uncalled for
remarks, offensive to the
Filipino peoples.
He objected to the maya

of that skit Time presents

ner that. according to reports
from Manila, has aroused the
indignation of all elements
Of our population" The Am
bassador added: This recalls
to my mind the common
complaint against the United
States I heard among my
fellow delegates at the Ban
dung Conference in 1855.
They all complained that a
certain section of the Ameri-
can press is so insensitive to
the feelings Of other peoples
that articles are written
about them in a Smart-alecky
style which sights their ma
tional dignity and pride"
The Ambassador went
further to complain about
the superficial handling of
the more important matters
such as the financial and
economic plight Of that little
allied nation which won its
independence recently after
a devastating war with Japan
and later the uprising Of the
Communicated Huks. The
letter ended with the conclu-
sion: Whenever I read your
angled articles. irrespec-
tive Of how offensive they
may be to nationals Of the
country being written about,
I do not wonder that the
United States is losing friends

There are a number of
other factors which are es-
tranging from us nations

common cause in our efforts
to fight international COM

noticed, during his recent
travels around the world,
how some speeches made by

adversely friends whom our

the way some District Court
judges are interpreting the de-
cision. either Qualification by
the Supreme Court or legisla-
ton would appear necessary in
order that police may not be
hampered in effective and in
telligent law enforcement"
Commissioner Robert e. Nc
Laughlin, in a radio broadcast,
said he believed the Mallory
decision is encouraging lawless-
ness because criminals feel they
are more immune to prosecu-
ton.
variOusly Interpreted
The Supreme Courts Mallory
decision Of last June has since
been subjected to a variety OF
interpretations. The court ruled
that Andrew r. Mallory's con-
fession of rape should have been
barred from the evidence at
his trial because he was held
too long-71a hours-between
the time Of his arrest and police
efforts to reach a committing
magistrate.
The court also said that po-
lice should not take a suspect
to headquarters to carry out a
process of inquiry that lends
itself, even If not so designed,
to eliciting damaging state
ments to support the arrest
and ultimately his guilt. This
has been interpreted as bar
ring all police questioning.
In the past few weeks, one
District Court Judge ruled out
a confession made a half hour
after the arrest. a second Judge
ruled out a confession COM
pleted within 80 to As minutes
after the suspects reached
headquarters.
Mr.. Dress said that such
questions as whether police can
interrogate suspects and how
long they can hold prisoners
between arrest and appearance
before a committing magistrate

could be clarified by the Su-
preme Court in ruling in q
subsequent case.
However, he added, since
such Qualification probably
would not be forthcoming fol
at least nine months, these
issues should be clarified
through legislation.
What we've got to do" he
said, lis see to 1t that individual
rights are safeguarded without
hampering law enforcement.
think the present varied in
terpretations OF the Mallory
decision would prevent intelli.
gent law enforcement"
In the view Of Mr.. Dress, il
police have probable cause to
arrest a suspect, the Mallory
decision does not prohibit po-
tlice questioning to find out
whether the suspect admits the
offenSeS or has an alibi.
He also expressed belief that
an earlier Supreme Court de-
cision, which admitted a con-
fession made Immediately but
followed by a long delay in
taking the prisoner before a
committing magistrate, still
stands.
Position Held Extreme
Commissioner Mclaughlin
said the general effect Of the
Mallory decision has been Ito
loosen the reins." He added,
however. that the actual ham,
pering Of police investigations
has been less significant than
the general psychological eff
feet" on criminals.
While respecting the intent
Of the Mallory decision to stop
police third-degree methods, "
he said the decision takes an
extreme position"
He said he would prefer to
see Congress develop some
middle ground" for police han
ding of criminal suspects.

Sweeping Study
OF School Setup
Governor Declares
Maryland Needs
Education Reforms
BY CHARLES L. HOFFMAN
Star stan Writer

star stan Writer
ANNAPOLIS, Feb. e.-Gov.
McKeldin has called for Q
sweeping survey Of Maryland's
public school system by the
Stockbridge Commission.
The Governor called for the
investigation, which would in
clude curricula, in a letter to
Enos s. Stockbridge. chairman
of the Maryland Self. Survey
Commission.
The Governor pointed out
that when he named the COM
mission last year he specified
that the educational system
was one government depart
ment that should be subjected
to a thorough survey by the
commission"
"Sihce then it has been made
more pronounced by the SEEM
ingly sudden emergence of q
vast new field Of science that
calls for the best the schools
can produce in the way Of in
tellectual excellence" the Gov
ernor said.
The Governor said he as
sumed Mr.. Stockhridge would
agree that recent developments
in the science field points up
the need for moving forward
on the school survey.
He said a subcommittee Of
interested but open-minded
citizens should be selected from
all areas of the State" to make
the study. He added that all
expert assistance should be en-
gagged promptly.
Wants Immediate Survey
"The imperativeness Of early
curative action is emphasized
by the constantly increasing
investment which the people
are making each year in their
public schools" the Governor
said.
He said he hoped Mr.. Stock
bridge would not only start
the survey las promptly a.
possible" but that the COM
mission would publish frequent
reports.
Such reports, he said, would
permit the necessary changes
to be made voluntarily at the
academic level in accordance
with the commissions recon-.
mendations.
At the same time the Gov
ernor emphasized that he
would not hesitate to call the
General Assembly into special
session if legislative action 10
needed to support the commits
sion's recommendations.
II believe much can be done
and certainly should be done
to improve education in Mary
land and prepare our youth
for the colleges and univer-
sites :" the Governor said.
Cites Need for Reforms
II am sure you and the other
members of the commission
have read and digeSted the
recent excellent speech by DR..
Milton S. Eisenhower, presi.
dent of the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, on the need for such
educational reform, the removal
of various useless programs
from the curricula Of the
schools. and a return to a stress
on the basic subjects Of a sound
and useful education" Gov.
McKeldin said.
The governor pointed out
that the State will spend be-
tween $92 million and 395
million for schools in the COM
ing fiscal year. He added he
had recommended $82 million
Of this amount. The remainder.
he said. will result from the
increase in teachers pay pro-
vided for by the legislature in
overriding his veto Of the $500
teacher nav bill.
