SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. g.
The personnel director of one
of the Governments largest
agencies declared today that
the Governments executive de-
velopment program to train
promising employees for execu-
tive jobs "is a big failure"
Edward SHERMAN, personnel
chief of the Veterans Admins
said the concept of the
present program which started
about IL or IS years ago sis all
wrong"
Mr.. SHERMAN told the an
nual conference of the Public
Personnel Association here that
1T is ridiculous and unrealistic
to think that in two or three
weeks we can train employees
for executive duties and re-
sponsibllities. And it is equally
unrealistic to think that the
Government can afford all the
time and expense it would take
to really train an employee under
this method - something like
two or three or more years at
least"
Mr.. SHERMAN said the VA,
with its $4,000 employees. has
tried with considerable success

also been adopted by industry
with much success, he added.
The group appraisal system.
Mr.. SHERMAN explained, usu-
ally consists of three agency
officials taking under their wing
a promising employe they feel
has executive potential. The
employee is allowed to select one
of the three officials who will
be his mentor.
The officials hold frequent
sessions among themselves dis
cussing the employe involved
assessing his strong points as
well as his weak ones.
For example, Mr.. Silberman
said, they may decide that the
employee doesn't have the neces-
sary confidence or ability in
expressing himself in dealing
with other people. The solution
then may be to enroll the en-
ploye in a public speaking
course.
Or it may be that the employe
has personal characteristics
that are displeasing to other
people. He is tactfully reminded
of these faults in frequent dis
cussions with his trio of men

and ROBERT E. CLARK
Ear stan Writerk

House investigators raking
through the television quiz
scandals heard testimony today
that three contestants on the
Dotto show were given answers
that enabled them to win sub
stantial sums.
David Huschle, New York
restaurant manager, said he
was provided with both ques-
tons and answers and then
told on his third nighttime
appearance to take the dive"
He lost his championship as
directed, but collected )$l1, 500
after winning $1,000 for five
performances on the Dotto
daytime show.
He said he was coached on
the night program by Gil
Gates, assistant producer, and
on the day program by an
official named Stan Green.
Another contestant, Mrs. An
toinette Dubarry Hillman, also
testified that the Dotto show
on the Columbia Broadcasting
System network was rugged.
She won 81 ,460.
Treated Fairly, They Say
She was supplied with ques-
tons and answers and a clue
to the mystery face contest
ants had to identify in order
to win, she said.
Although they knew the pro-
gram was not being conducted
honestly, both Mr.. HuSchle and
Mrs. Hillman indicated they
thought they were treated
fairly by the producers.
Asked whether she thought
there was anything fraudulent
about the show and the fact
that it was deceiving the view
ing public, Mrs. Hillman smiled
at the committee and said:
I'm perfectly blithe about it.

time, I was, everybody was"

Widow Slain,
Man Kills Self
Shooting Occurs
In Langley Park

A 46-year-old Langley Park
Md) widow was shot to death
early today behind her apart
ment by a Maryland salesman
who then killed himself with
a bullet in the head, police re-
ported.
the victims were identified
as Mrs. Emmaverne L. Clark,
of 1906 Lebanon street, and
Estil ESkridge, "A, an egg sales
man who lived at 54l0 Shady
side avenue, Bradbury Heights.
Capt. Wilson Purdy, Prince
Georges County chief of detec-
tiveS, said Eskridge shot the
woman in a fit of anger after
she rebuffed his advances.
He said Eskridge had been
trying to date Mrs. Clark since
her husband died a year ago.
However, the families had
known each other for a num-
Der of years, he said.
Deputy County Medical Ex-
aminer John T. Maloney ruled
the deaths were murder and
suicide.
Turned Gun on Self
Police said the man APP
parently shot Mrs. Clark as
she was about to drive away,
and then turned the gun on
himself.
Her body, shot once in the
chest, was slumped across the
front seat. The key was in
the ignition. ESkridge was
sprawled on the ground outside
the car, a bullet wound in his
head.
The revolver was found a
few inches from his hand.
Two expended cartridges and
another which apparently mis-
fired were found in the weapon.
Police said Eskridge drove to
the woman's apartment and ap-
parently confronted her as she
left for her job with the Acacia
Life Insurance Co. in the
District.
Wife's Car in Lot
Police said Eskridge was
married and had two children.
His wife's car which he used
this morning was found in the
parking lot.
Mrs. Nat Stein, who lives in
the same building, said she
looked out her kitchen window
about 7:05 am. and saw Mrs.
Clark walking toward her car.
A short time later, she heard
what sounded like firecrackers
exploding, looked out the win
dow again, and saw a man
sprawled on the ground.
Mrs. Stein said she notified
the janitor, Midget DeLoatch,
who lives in a basement apart
ment next door to Mrs. Clark.
He told Mrs. Ethel Kay, land
lady of the building, who called
police.
Worried About Rent
Mrs. Kay said the Clarks had
moved in. about two years ago
After Mr.. Clark's death, Mrs.
Clark had told her she was
worried about being able to
pay her rent, Mrs. Kay said.
But she did manage to pay the
rent, and had been a model
tenant, Mrs. Kay said.
Mrs. Clark. who grew up in
Washington and went to public
schools here, was employed by
the Acacia company at its main
offices at 81 Louisiana avenue
NV. since last January Is.

Red Arms Plan
Khrushchev Idea
Gets Priority

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
Oct. 8 (AP).-The United Ma
tons Political Committee agreed
unanimously today to begin
immediate debate on the total
disarmament plan of Soviet
Premier Khrushchev.
Priority for the KhruShchev
plan was proposed by the chair
man of the 82-nation commit
tee. Ambassador Franz Matsch
of Austria, after private con-
situations. His proposal was
accepted without debate.
Mr.. Matsch announced that
discussion of the Soviet plan
will begin tomorrow morning.
Other disarmament proposals
will be taken up in sequence
after the examination of the
plan offered by the Soviet
leader before the General
Assembly September 10.
Priority Suggested
In suggesting priority for the
Soviet proposal, Mr.. Matsch re-
called that both Mr.. Khru-
shchev and President Eisen-
hover had agreed that general
disarmament was the most i'm
portant issue facing the world
today.
Vastly v. Kuznetsov, Soviet
Deputy Foreign Minister, will
lead off the disarmament de-
bate tomorrow morning. The
United States will not speak
until next week, since AM
bassador Henry Cabot Lodge
will be in Washington tomor-
row.

special treatment for tn e

ing Committee to recommend
that it be taken up separately
from other arms questions.

Injunction Due
Today 70 End
Docks Tieup
loft Low Action
To Send $4,000
Back to Work

Acting on President Eisen-
hower's orders, Government at
torneys moved to seek a court
order today sending $4,000
striking longshoremen back to
work from Maine to Texas.
There was little doubt q Taft
Hartley law injunction-requir-
ing an 80-day return to work
would be issued promptly in
Federal District Court. A
judges ruling was required. but
never before has an injunction
been refused In the Is previous
times the Government has in
voked the laws emergency pro-
visions.
Justice Department attor-
neyS were en- route to New
York to complete arrangements
for asking the injunction this
afternoon.
Union to Comply
A court order ending the
week-old strike was expected to
send the workers back to the
docks no later than tomorrow.
Capt. William v. Bradley,
president of the striking Inter-
national Longeshoremen,s As
ISOLATION, said, when we re-
ceive the order we will comply
with it."
In ordering court action,
President Eisenhower repeated
that if the strike were per-
mitted to continue it would
imperil national health and
safety and effect the food sup
ply of the heavily populated
Atlantic and Guf Coast areas.
His order climaxed a day in
which the Taft-Hartley Laws
emergency machinery turned
with almost unprecedented
speed.
Board Holds Hearings
A fact-finding board held
hearings in Washington yes
terday morning, wrote its re-
port during the afternoon, and
dispatched it by Navy jet fighter
plane last night to Mr.. Essen
hower's vacation headquarters
in California.
Mr.. Eisenhower received the
report and ordered the court
action less than II hours after
the board started its hearings.
1t was still last night in Cali
fornia. but early today on the
East Coast, when he acted. To
avoid legal technicalities, the
President waited until he had
the boards report actually in
hand, although he had re-
ceived a teletyped summary in
advance.
The 80-day halt under Taft
Hartley procedure is designed
to provide a cooling-off period
during which negotiations are
to continue. But unless the
strike is settled before the end
of that period, the longshore-
men will be free to walk out
again and the Government can
do nothing except by mediation.
New Talks Urged
Some officials believe it would
be a week before actual brass
tacks bargaining would be re-
sumed. Guy Farmer. chairman
of the fact-f1nding body, yes
terday urged the parties to
start at once. The answers he
got were not promising.
lila President Bradley said
that since Taft-Hartley had
been invoked he could "see no
reason why we should resume"
negotiations.

Cloudy, showers tonight, low about 70.
Mostly cloudy, warm. with showers and
scattered thunderstorms tomorrow.
Holmes County herald., 1959-09-03

There is a strong odor of whitewash in the
state college boards report of the past week, clear
ing the University of Mississippi of serious charges
filed by alumni of that school.
Those charges were detailed and specific. The
boards official statement was generalized and eva
sive, offering little in the way of substance.
The board refused to discuss the charges point
by point, as BELTS a "fact-finding' committee. In
stead, the charges were arbitrarily dismissed as
'groundless," without elaboration.
The board met in secret, behind closed doors.
The press was barred.
To us, and doubtless to many other Missis-
~sippians, the boards verdict proves little except
that the University administration has some bosom
buddies on an ~allegedly impartial committee.
Sweeping dirt under the rug, as the board
has done. in no way lessons the fact that the dirt
exists.
Normal procedure in an impartial i~nvestiga-
ton is to withhold any official statement until the
probe is completed and a formal report submitted.
Yet, more than a month ago, on July Il, the
board issued an official statement expressing full
confidence in the University administration and
describing the charges as "groundless."
Published news stories of July IL, announcing
the boards declaration, said the investigation was
still in progress at that time. Subsequent news ar
ticles referredxo the inquiry as still in progress"
Thus. the boards. statement of July II seems
comparable to a jury announcing its verdict before
the trial is completed. No court of law accepts such
Verdicts.
1t is difficult to see how any informed person
could seriously regard the board as impartial"
The very nature of its responsibility puts the board
in close contact with the institution which has been
under fire.
This friendly association, to say the very least,
did nothing to prejudice the University's chances
OF winning an acquittal at the boards hands.
The public supports the University and the
public was entitled to a full point-by-point explana-S
ton concerning the charges. Instead, the public
was given a weasel-worded report reeking of white
wash, ignoring real points at issue and leaving
many questions unanswered. !
The Ole Miss whitewash is consistent with
the boards lack of enthusiasm for realistic handl-
ing of school controversies in the past. 1
