move as a "masterful" one. 1t
will in one stroke show the
dedication of sponsors to home
rule, and their willingness to
compromise procedures in Or
der to win House passage, he
said.
StrategiSts drew attention
yesterday away from the Sec
ond day of home rule hearings
before a House District Sub
committee headed by RepreSen-
tative Davis, Democrat of Geor-
gia.
Democratic Representatives
Roosevelt of California and
johnson of Colorado and Re-
publican Representative
Schwengel of Iowa testified in
favor of the home rule princi-
pie.
Mr.. Roosevelt defended the
constitutionality of a congress
sional delegation of legislative
powers to the District. Mr..
Schwengel said home rule
could make Washington a
showcase, the complete ex-
preston of our beliefs in gov
eminent in, of and by the
people"
Question for Schwengel
At one point during the
testimony of Mr.. Schwengel,
Representative Mcmillan, Dem
ocrat of South Carolina broke
in to ask the witness If he
would be satisfied If we coded
the District back to Maryland
except for the Federal Tri-
angler"
Mr.. Schwengel answered by
saying he would like to give
the matter further study. He
added that he could see mo
great handicap" to such a
move.
Mr.. Mcmillan said, II think
we could get such a bill out Of
this committee"
Representative Matthew
Democrat of Florida, remarked
he would "look with favor on
such a proposal"
Representative H a m o n,
Democrat of Indiana, said he
would go along with that"
1T might stop the contro-
versy," Mr.. Mcmillan suggested,
referring to the turmoil over
home rule.
Dispute Over Room
Earlier, Mr.. Schwengel and
Mr.. Davis became involved in a
mild argument over the chair
mans refusal last Monday to
move the hearings to a larger
room. At least 600 persons were
forced to stand outside the
hearing room.
Mr.. Schwengel implied the
action was a refusal on the
part of the chairman to recog-
nize a citizens right to petition.
For the first time, a sprin-
Killing of local opponents OF
home rule appeared in the
heavily pro-home rule audience.
Among the traditional foes was
William Press, of the Washing
ton Board of Trade, which
favors granting WashingtonianS
a vote for President and Vice
President, rather than a voice
in the local government of the
Federal city.

not a vacuum that can be

The reception for Vice Presi-

wept openly as they shouted or
applauded. They are themselves
and here the old liking for the
individual life and dignity holds
on. The Russian people have
never in their lives known free
political institutions. The TsarS
never gave it to them. They
have not had them since the
last TSar was killed but the
Poles have. They had a passion
for such a way Of government.

Poles Cling to Faith
Nor has religion withered
away as it almost has in Russia.
In Novosibirsk, for example, a
young teacher Of English said
I'VE Soviets know nothing can
help us but our heads and our
hands. If there had been a
God he would have assisted the
Tsars. They were very close to

As Fovorite Son
BY the Associated Press


: The Florida congressional
delegation has Endorsed Senator
Smathers, Democrat of Florida,
as the States favorite son
candidate for the Depocratic
nomination for President in
1860.
Representative Skies, an
nounced the action yesterday.
He said Senator Smathers was
appreciative of the groups de-
sire but has not decided
whether he will accept.
Mr.. Skies said the thought
behind the proposal for a
favorite son candidate was to
give the Florida delegates more
strength and a better bargain
ing position at the convention.
He noted that there was a
fight between Senators Russell
of Georgia and Kefauver Of
Tennessee in Florida in 1852
and between Senator Kefauver
and Adlai E. Stevenson in 1856.
With Senator Smathers seek
ing favorite-son delegates, Mr.
Skies said he doubted that any
of the other candidates would
oppose him and seek delegates
in Florida.
Delegates will be chosen in
the second primary sometime
in May. 1850. The early pri-
mary in Florida, Mr.. Skies said
is another reason why candi-
dates in 1852 and 1856 Syught
delegates in that State.

Raps AchesOn
BY the Associated Press

Senator Saltonstall. Repub-
lican of Massachusetts, today
charged Dean Acheson, former
Secretary Of State, and other
top Democratic Party spokes-
men with playing politics on
key issues that he said should
be nonpartisan.
Senator Saltonstall protested
their attacks on international
defense and economic programs
of the Eisenhower administra-
ton.
He objected to recent
speeches by Mr.. Acheson, Sec
rotary of State under former
President Truman, and state
ments publicized by the Demo-
cratic Advisory Council. on
which both Mr.. Truman and
Mr.. Acheson serve.
Il shall comment upon them
in a sincere effort to set the
record straight" Senator Sal
tonstall said in a statement.
Senator SaltonStall questioned
Mr.. Acheson's harsh opinions
about the weakness of the At
lantic alliance coming at this
exact time of its deliberations
with the Soviet"
He said "the hot war doesn't
exist" and free world areas
are holding firm, but he con-
tended the Democrats ignore
this.
Senator Saltonstan said
Democratic protests about "the
so-called missile gap" ap-
parently were based on what
he called the faulty theory we
must try to match the Com
munists man for man, or
missile for missile instead OF
maintaining overall pre-
ponderance Of capability to
deliver high potency weapons. "
Senator Saltonstall stressed
the current power of the
Strategic Air Command, nu-
Iclear-poWered submarines and
a wide range Of missiles and
supersonic aircraft.
The Senator blasted pro-
posals by Mr.. Acheson and the
Democratic Council to step uL
defense expenditures by $7.5
billion. He said the Democrats
fail to point out that all money
must come from citizen tax
payers and that an increased
deficit and debt would mean
more imitation.

slow learners and disciplinary
problems who hold back the
rest of the class"
The teachers also said they
had too many housekeeping
and secretarial jobs, DR.. Brown
said, and too many after-school
chores like directing clubs,
parents, etc.
They feel the solution may
be to tighten their teaching
load and give them a free period
in which they can prepare their
lessons, grade papers, make up
examinations, etc." DR.. Brown
said. Some reported there

they had classes in all seven"
Other Problems
DIR. Brown said the survey
didn't touch on such things as
teacher salaries, retirement,
tenure, ETC., because these SUBJ
jects are under constant study.
The teachers were asked to
list any other problems that
worried them. Their answers
covered a lot of ground, in

ST. LOUIS, July 2 (AP).-
Public school teachers can
smoke, drop into the local bar,
or spend a week end in the big
city. But most of them have
too many pupils, too many nom
teaching chores, and no time
to call their own.
This composite picture of the
classroom teacher was painted
yesterday by DR.. Kenneth R.

investigation into the working
conditions of teachers and
school administrators.
School people have made
tremendous gains in personal
freedom over the past 20 years"
DR.. Brown said. "This is espe-
cially true in the big cities. In
some small communities and
rural areas they still find re-

Power to President
1t would hand the President
the authority, and also the
responsibility, for lifting the

it to be in the national interest.
I'm not opposed TO this pro-
