He blasted back at Gov. Almond

said some hard things about the
local system. 1t was the first time
since indignation local school Off
Gals had publically undertaken to
defend the system from criticism.
Achievement Figures
He went to Nashville, Tenn, and
told the Civil Rights Commission
that the system has been able to
raise city-wide achievement me-
dams although the number of
white pupils had decreased.
He is now at work changing an
attitude-another quality he can
use with success. Instead of plac-
ing so much emphasis on whether

A ROMANCE THAT LASTED
Hansen's First Year as School Head

the systems pupils are below, or
above. something called a ma
tional norm" Dr.. Hansen is push
ing his principals to watch for the
amount of achievement a child
shows in a given period. With so
much attention paid the national
norm, he feels, the school which
rises above it will grow fat, soft
and too comfortable. 1t is not
move, he maintains, to protect
schools saddled with slow learn
ers. And he is demanding that
growth be shown in all schools.
Some of DR.. Hansen's staff say
he sometimes pops out With an
idea and puts it into motion be-
fore they know what he really
wants. But. as time and certain
amount of confusion go by, the
programs seem to be working.
They shape up before the criti-
cism does. The Four Track pro-
gram is one example.
This is the program he initiated
as head Of the senior high school
system. DR.. Hansen designed four
tracks to carry students of vary
ing abilities and detectives through
the last three grades of public
education. The tracks are for
honor students, the college pre-
paratory student, the general stu
dent who plans no college educa-
ton and the basic student.
Free Lunch Program
In another instance, DR.. Hansen,
last fall. suddenly announced he
was going to the public for dona-
tions to keep a free lunch program
going for needy elementary chill
dren. This was unprecedented and
to date some TOO children are
given a free lunch each school
day.
More than anyone else, he
worked an agreement out of the
District Commissioners that maybe
the city should support a free
lunch program for youngsters. The
matter is pending before Congress.
Few superintendent have met
with the support DR.. Hansen
enjoys from the community. He
has opened the doors of Franklin
School, the administration build
ing, to one and all. He will speak
at the drop of an invitation
often. through his quiet talks,
softening feelings about crowded
conditions or new plans before
they have a chance to build up
and burst in front of the school
board. He makes it a point to
know what he's talking about.
The divorce rate is high among
school boards and superintendents.
Rarely are they made for each
other.
At least after a year of moon
light and roses, it is beginning TO
look like a happy marriage is
ahead at Franklin School.
Maybe it's one of those rare
cases.

Business as q Freedom Weapon
Is Aim of ices Resolutions

inflationary pressures are to be
held in check, there must I'M
questionably be wage restraint"
Subsidies especially in
the agricultural sector should be
progressively reduced" "One
of the most effective means of
preventing inflationary price rises
is to permit a free flow of imports
and to encourage competition
from producers abroad"
The ICC also recommends that
further steps be taken as soon as
possible to facilitate the free
movement between countries of
capital and goods"
The ICC also has something to
say on gold, a subject close to
the heart of the hard working
president of the recent congress,
Philip Cortney. The ICC CON
siders that in countries where no
exchange control exists, it would
be desirable to free as rapidly as
possible the gold market, both for
transactions abroad and at
home" At the recent meeting
the South African delegation went
even farther. 1t advocated
worldwide increase in the official
price of gold, a step which the
United States Treasury opposes
as distinctly inflationary.
European Common Market
AS for the European Common
Market, the European Economic
Community. the ICC is in a tick
lish position in view of the cleav-
age overseas between the advo-
Gates of a Free Trade Area en-
bracing all the OEEC countries
and the British Commonwealth
on the one hand and the narrower
view of certain members of the
common market. notably France.
on the other. The ices state
ment on this subject. endorsed by
all delegates, halls the formation
of the European Economic Com
munity which can and should
be further step forward on the
road to world free trade" Both
the Eta and the FEC should be
in harmony with the provisions
of GAIT. -"
The ICC devotes considerable
attention to international invest
ments. Foreign capital and enter
prise, it holds, should not be
treated less favorably titan do
nestle capital and enterprise. ihe
fear of appropriation has been
one of the main impedimentS
to the international flow of pri-
vate capital and it is il. this re-
spect that the principal OF non
discrimination against foreigners
has been most frequently violated.
The Washington gathering was
treated to a variety of views on
this subject. The chairman Of the
ices Pakistan Council, NJ. A.
Rangoonwala. read the assem-

blage lecture. Private enterprise,
he said, should not limit itself
to the sole ambition of making
money. /. 1t has an obligation
of more humanitarian role.
Businessmen should sponsor edu-
cational institutions, hospitals
and dispensaries.
But Luc Durand-R eville, chair
man of the French-Africa Ma
tional Committee of the ice, ex-
pressed a quite different view, say
ing: The developed countries can
always find valuable, beneficial
and safe use for their savings in
their own territory. 1t is necessary
for the governments of the under
developed countries to realize this
fully. Similarly they must also
realize that if in terms of inter-
national morals there may be
some question of the right of
backward peoples to receive in
vested capital in economic
terms the right to investment is
non-existent."
Use Of Investments
In practice, this French busi-
nessman added, the greatest lib
erty in the use of public capital
by its beneficiaries often leads
them to make an uneconomic use
of these investments. Public
capital capable of being invested
from political motives is definitely
Inadequate to satisfy the immense
capital needs of the under
developed countries. :"
DR.. Hans c. Boden. president
and managing director of Ger

vided an arbitration court of it's

system which has been elaborated
with governments will be ratified
and advanced. This court sits in
Paris. Arbitration is entirely vol
untary. 1t may involve two BUSH
ness firms; or a business and a
government"
Most of the foreign delegates
to the meetings showed concern
over the growing trend toward
protectionism here. While no re-
verssl of this trend was promised
indeed the opposite-the expla-
nation given by the members Of

The spiritual home Of Harry
Truman these days is the Harry
S. Truman Library. The building
modern and crescent shaped,
stands on a little knoll on a by
pass of the main road between
Independence and Kansas City.
It is the pride of his life.
AS he believes that the election
of 1913 was a vindication of him

he believes that the library will

Treasures in the Library
Since the library was opened
to the public in March, 1857,
some 1900 visitors have walked
its cleaning floors and inspected
its mementoes Of his and previous
administrations. They have seen
the room which is an exact re-
production of his oval-shaped

Carl F. Hansen and the District

Several hundred foreign bust
nessmen and bankers who came
here to attend the congress of
the International Chamber of
Commerce have now returned
home to carry the message of
world business to their govern
tnents.
This was the second time in the
Chambers history that it's con-
gresS was held in Washington.
This year the members approved
without dissenting voice nearly
five dozen resolutions and state
mentS drafted since 1857 by the
ICES Council and Executive Com
mittee.
These resolutions and state
ments represent the least common
denominator of the aims and de-
sireS of the business leaders of
the free world. 1t is the ICES
purpose to improve conditions for
trade and investment, both in
terhational and national.
What are some of these aims,
which the delegates have gone
home to promote?
Some of them relate to such
general economic matters as
monetary stability. attracting in
vestment, double taxation and in
ternational exhibitions. Others
are of more limited concern to
traders: Customs valuation of i'm
ports, trading areas, market
handbookS, export credits and
commercial arbitration. These
are technical subjects in which
the average person has little in

On Monetary Stability

Monetary stability the ICC con-
siders to be a prime condition of
economic expansion. The Cham
ber's leaders have long used their
influence with their governments
to lean against the winds of in
flation. OF course, they have had
to struggle against pretty strong
headwinds, particularly in the
postwar period. Yet some of the
leaders. interviewed during the
recent congress, expressed the
view that the ICES work is
reflected in steps toward cur
rency convertibility announced in
Britain and Europe last winter.
State and para-State enter
prises, the ICC holds. should not
use the banking system or the
central bank to solve budget diff
culties; and regulation of COM
mercial banking should make
sure that long term loans granted
by banks should not exceed the
deposits at their disposal that are
in fact long-term.
