Voices for Saving Public Education
Seen Growing, Despite Extremists

Alabama's newest and fast
est-growing industries, is set
ting up a large research
laboratory.
But not in Alabama. In
stead, 1t will be located in
North Carolina in a new
laboratory in the Raleigh
Durham Chapel Hill area.
The company picked North
Carolina after an investiga-
ton of 81 States in the East
ern United States.
Just why North Carolina
was chosen, we do not know.
Perhaps one reason was
the fact that the State, dur
ing this century. has made
great progress in education.
It has developed q climate
that is favorable for scholar
ship and research. :"
The editorial was accu-
rate. North Carolina has de-
veloped a climate which is
favorable for research and
scholarship. The Tarheel
State has no turmoil and
bitterness. such as Senator
Stennis mentioned. Instead.
it advertises that its public
schools will not be closed.
Technicians and scientists
who come to work in the
States new enterprises WIN
have excellent public schools
to which to send their chill
dren.
A further step has been
taken by the alert North
Carolinians who see an OPP
portunity to make very rapid
industrial progress at the ex-
penSe Of those States which
are without any assurance
for educational stability.
North Carolina is building a
great research laboratory at
q cost Of about $40 million.
It is located. by no mere CO.
incidence, In the area where
Chemstrand Chemical Is to
set up its own large re-
search laboratory"
These are but samples.

important that this disposes
of Happy's own candidacy,
since he was not going any,
where anyway. What 1t does
do is give a leg up to candi-
dates johnson and Adlai
Stevenson since former Sena-
tor Clements. a johnson de-
voice, and Wilson Wyatt, a
Stevenson brain truster, had
a big hand in the result. Mr..
Wyatt won the Democratic
nomination for Lieutenant
Governor by the largest mar
gin ever given a candidate by
Kentucky voters.
In Louisiana, the Long
dynasty is In trouble. While
the State situation is de-
scribed by one of its most
astute politicians as very
fluid" some change in the
outlook there seems inevita-
BILE.
None Of these are vital fac
tors In presidential calcula-
tons, but they do show that
change is a law Of politics as

NATO: A Positive Achievement

He makes them feel that
they are really members Of
o team.
But. above all else, Gen.
Norstad has o penetrating
grasp Of the military prob
lens Of Europe. He is not
swayed by the talk Of dis
engagement or disarmament.
He believes in the objectives
Of the hour--to get an assur-
ance Of peace. But he insists
on safeguards. and they must
be effective safeguards.
NATO is more than a mill
tary organization. It is more
than a mere alliance for war.
It has many branches and
divisions that are slowly be-
ing welded together into one
Of the most effective inter-
national organizations yet
created.
NATO Is an organization
of governments whose am
bassadors are specially APP
pointed to sit in Paris and
discuss diplomatic affairs of
q common interest. On the
diplomatic side. the United
States is represented by a
special ambassador, w. Ran
dolph Burgess. an able busi-
nessman of broad experience.
His years in the Federal Re-
serve System and later as
vice chairman of the National
City Bank Of New York have
brought to the council table
q background Of economic
experience which is of great
value in understanding to-
days problems Of Europe.
For nowadays political and
economic questions are inter-
twined.
London is getting ready to
welcome on Saturday delega-
tions from IL Of the coun-
tries In the alliance as the
tenth anniversary Of NATO
Is celebrated. The North At
lantic Treaty Organization Is
one Of the positive achieve
ments Of our times.

than with the members Of
their own party: then the
progressive conservative Re-
publicans, who In turn are
divided into two groups:
those who are UP for re-elec-
ton and those who do not
have to face what is often
described in the Senate cloak
rooms as the 1860 ordeal.
A substantial number Of
those up for reelection seem
TO think that by remaining
noncommittal and by merely
voting right" they may make
the grade In November, 1860.
They are silent on the floor
and do not seem to have
learned a lesson from the
campaign Of their colleague.
Barry Goldwater. who waged
his most recent election CAM
paign in Arizona with vigor
and bare knuckles and gave
his bitter antagonists more
than he was getting.
Those who do not have
to face next years ordeal"
seem to be satisfied with be.
ing merely present and maxi
ing occasional polite remarks
and studied speeches. In
fact. there are today only
two real fighting Republi.
cans In the Senate whose
voices are frequently heard:
Senator Styles Bridges Of
New Hampshire. up for re-
election next year, and Sena-
tor Goldwater. The minority
leader. Everett Dirksen, an
outstanding mellow orator, is
always as painstaking po-
lite and as controversial as
his position permits him to
be.
The old-time Republicans
Of the days before the ex-
preston Modern Republi-
canism" look back nostalgia
cally to the times when q
small but well-knit group
not more than 25-were able
to hold out effectively
against the Democratic ava.
lanche, They were more re-
Spected by their political OPP
ponents than the present
mellow opposition.

Treatment Of Appointees Is Compared
To Antics of Previous French Chambers

Seldom in contemporary
memory has the administra-
ton had so much trouble and
so little cooperation In mat
tiers concerning Its customary
prerogatives as in the present
Congress. A few willful parti-
sans are taking advantage Of
the crushing Democratic ma
jority to harass. rather than
constructively oppose and
criticize. the administration.
II this demagoguery contin-
ues, there Is some foundation
for the fears OF some sound
thinking Senators that the
American Senate--once re
garded as the greatest de-
batting body In the world
may become a reproduction
Of the French Chamber dur
ing the Fourth Republic.
which preceded the coming to
power Of Gen. Charles de
Gaulle.
The antics Of a handful Of
Senators in dealing with APP
pointments Of President Eli
senhower, such as those Of
Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce as
ambassador to Brazil and Of
Ogden Reid to the post in
Israel. were indicative Of the
new trend. The examination
of both appointees was, to
say the least, most unusual.
The questions put to both
nominees had little to do
with their competence as
representatives of the Chief
Executive and OF the Govern
ment of the United States In
foreign posts.
For instance. Mr.. Reid, who
was Intercepted at length by
the chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee. was
asked whether, when he was
editor Of the New York Her.
aid Tribune, he had ordered
a loyalty check on the mem
bers of his editorial staff.
What this had to do with his
ability to represent us in
Israel still is puzzling many
who have read the transcript
Of the hearings.
The fight over the confir-
nation of Secretary of Com
merce Lewis Strauss is re-
garded as one of the most
Scandalous and partisan ever
known in Senate annals. The
Senate has a perfect right
to reject him. But 1t appears

Trend-Wotching in the South

They are similar to news
items which appear from
week to week. Alone. they
do not amount to a great deal.
None could honestly say a
pattern is clear. But, in time
1t may be.
Perhaps the most signifi-
cant feature Of the recent re-
call election In Little Rock.
Ark, was the fact that the
chamber Of commerce pub
licly participated politically
In behalf Of retaining the
teachers. The chamber pre-
viously had broken a silence
and announced It's member
ship had voted for the
schools to be reopened. A
smaller working group Of
businessmen, including those
from large corporations and
small businesses. assumed q
prominent part in the sue
cessful recall Of the school
board members seeking to
discharge teachers.
In all States there is now
a new voice being heard. It
is just now beginning to be
willing to speak UP. It has
been there all along. This
voice Of many people is say
ing, as did the businessmen
in Little Rock. that 1t does
not represent integrationists.
1t does not have a policy Of

for" indignation. But 1t will
take controlled indignation
which is possible via a school
placement law already DEM
onstrated in Virginia. North
Carolina, Tennessee and Ken

lie education.
To call these people inte-
grationists is unjust and
false.
They are not. But they are
putting their children and
their future in a competitive
world ahead Of personal feel
ings. Their collective voice is
not yet as loud as that Of the
rabid extremists. But 1t Is
growing. 1t is not for integra-
ton. It is for education.

Senator Hubert H. Hum
phrey, a leading candidate
for the Democratic nomina-
2 ton for President, has put
away his travelling bags for
/, the present and settled down
to his legislative chores and
his Minnesota constituency.
This Is not because his ambi-
/; ton has waned or his spirit
is dimmed. He Is not even
out of money.
He has altered his tactics
because Of what he saw and
learned on his journey. Such
behavior amounts almost to
heresy in this self-absorbed
Capital which wages the war
of the presidential success
sion every day at the cocktail
hour with the same old coun-
tiers and pawns. Nonetheless,
Senator Humphrey is &C
counted an agile politician
even by his critics, so what
he thinks Of the state Of
the party's political thinking
could be news, too.
For one thing he does not
believe the voters are as yet
as interested in the presi-
dental aspirants as they are
in themselves. He hopes and
expects that he has caught
the attention of many Of his
known and potential sup
porters so that they will not
stray when the time seems
somewhat ripper for conquest.
He has been impressed by
the number Of new faces In
the party. the relative youth
Of many TO whom he talked
and their knowledge Of the
issues. Since the Senator Is
not the favorite Of some Of
the party's elder statesmen,

that the handful Of bitter
partisans want to make It
into a circus.
The comparison with the
French Chamber, which con-
tributed to bringing France
TO the brink until Gen. de
Gaulle took over, may appear
far-fetched to many because
there were some 10 splinter
parties in that parliament.
while we still have, on the
surface, q two-party system.
Actually. we have four
parties. The Democrats are
split between the New Deal
and the conservatives. while
the Republicans are divided
between the Old Guard and
the Modern Republicans. On
the Democratic side. the
New-Fair Dealers are pre-
ponderant and have been able
to impose themselves on the
Southerners. who are not
always united, either.
But 1t is the Republican
minority which appears as
most lamentable. It is true
that there are only "a Re-
publicans to "a Democrats In
the Senate, but this dispro-
portion does not justify their
passive attitude. in the eyes
Of many observers. There
have been times In the last
quarter of-a-century when
there were even fewer Re-
publican Senators, but they
were a united group. fighting
constructively and vocifer-
ously. To outsiders the pres
ent attitude Is like that of q
small herd surrounded by
packs of wolves. It Is only
occasionally. when the packs
get too close to the throat,
that some mild fight is shown.
The reason for this atti.
tude among the members Of
the party in Office is that
they are split into three
groups. There are the Mod
ern Republicans, who on
many major issues see more
eye-to-eye with the New

LONDON. Mar. % (AP)-
Tass today warned French
President De Gaulle that "a
devastating rebuff" would fol-
low any attack on Soviet troops
in the Berlin area.
The official Soviet news
agency accused Gen. de Gaulle
of trying to heat up" the Ber-
lin crisis by providing "grist to
the mill Of those who would
like to poison the international
atmosphere"
The blast at Gen de Gaulle
was spanked by the PRESIDENT
recent news conference warm
ing that any blockade of Ber-
lin by East German Commu-
nists would threaten the world
with a clash of allied and Sow
let troops.
He said anyone interfering
with the passage of Western
troops to Berlin and "any
others coming to their aid
would commit a hostile act with
regard to the Western powers
and would be responsible for
any conflicts which might
follow"
The lass statement. broad
cast by Moscow radio, said
Gen. de Gaulle, Ito judge by
his statement. is apparently
not interested in reaching
agreed decisions on the Berlin
question.
He prefers to operate in
military terms :" Tass said.
But if 1t is necessary, it can
be recalled that force could
always be answered by force If
anybody in the West should
have any illusions.
Trying in this way, with
the aid Of military threats. to
heat up the atmosphere around
Berlin. Gen. de Gaulle is striv-
ing in advance to absolve the
Western powers from RESPONSE
bility for q clash which might
follow"
