THE POLITICAL MILL
Mueller Scores Defense Critics
BY GOULD LINCOLN

Prosperity, marked by in
creasing business and en-
ployment, one of the two
main issues on which the
Republican Party will be re-
lying In the coming national
political campaign, is more
and more becoming a reality
for 1860. The first quarter Of
the year, according to Gov
ernment reports and reports
from important business
leaders, is showing a great
stride forward. Results have,
indeed, gone beyond expec-
tation. The other great is
sue-peace and prospects
for better international re-
lations-await the summit
meeting, or meetings, and
the progress of disarmament,
now the subject of an impor-
tant conference. If there is
no deterioration, and per-
haps a prospect for better
ment. the COP. may make
use of this second issue
with considerable effect. The
peace issue has been a major
factor in the last two presi-
Dental elections - and it
may be again.
An address delivered by
Secretary of Commerce Fred
erick H. Mueller yester-
day before the Executives
Club of Chicago emphasized
the factors which indicate
continued ana increasing
prosperity and the strength
Of the country's economy.
Secretary Mueller at the
same time stressed the mill
tary strength Of the United
States today. so important as
a factor for peace and as a
deterrent TO aggression by
any other power or COM
bination of powers. And
ne spoke. indeed. for the
Republican administration,
hewing to lines which will
be followed by COP. CAM
paigners. He undertook to
give the truth" regarding
both the economy and de-
fensive strength of the
country.
Only self-generated fear
or folly can hold back our
progress, the Secretary said.
only our tongue can dig our
grave" He referred to the
Democratic charges and crit
icisms that this country is be-
coming a second-rate power.
He fatty denied this country
is on the verge of a recession.
He insisted that recent flip
flops" of the stock market
reflect only a bit of indecision
IN "temperamental Wall
Street" He added that Wall
Street is not Main street.
"Today's well-informed busi-
nessrnan does not chicken at
the growl of a Wall Street
bear" he added.
Points TO Record Activity
Mr.. Mueller cited, as evi-
dence that things are going
well economically, the fact
that 64.5 million persons had
Jobs in February-up I.8 mil
lion over last February and
at an all time high for the
month. He found "the most
revealing indication of the
state Of the country's econ
ony" in the plans of indus
try for investment in plant
and equipment. Capital out
lays for such improvement
and development will, he said,
reach $37 billion this year, an
increase Of $4.5 billion over
such expenditures last year.

national product as a measure
Of prosperity and develop

now flourish in all sections
of the country, and even
children with the double
handicap of being deaf-blind
are being taught to be free
of the limitations of the sign
language or the manual
alphabet at the progressive
and forward-reaching Per-
kins School for the Blind
in Watertown. Mass. which
maintains a separate depart
ment for deaf-blind teachers,
and an intensive teacher
training program for the
teachers of the deaf-blind. I
know this. because while I
was at Perkins gathering ma
terial for a Joint biography of
Helen Keller and Anne Sui
livan Macy. which I published
last year. ! had the privilege
of seeing the deaf.blind chill
dren at study, at work and at
play. and even of conversing
with one teen-age girl, who
was bright. alert, and really
charming. With one finger
against the visitors nose, an
other on her lips, she read"
speech without hesitation,
and responded in q clear, even
modulated voice. Surely, If a
deaf-blind pupil can do this,
what need is there for a sys-
TEN Of sign language, which
makes the deaf an outsider,
a foreigner except in his own
special group, isolated, alone,
and placed in a situation
which is an embarrassment to
himself and all others?
If $4,000 is to be allocated
for the advancement of edu-
cation for the deaf, why not
give it for the purpose of oral
methods of education?
Helen E. Waite.
y y
1t was shocking to read
that the National Science
Foundation has granted S22.-
600 to DR.. Stockoe for further
work on his sign language
for the deaf.
When medicine for the
sick and training for the
blind have gone forward
through the years it is cruel
that education in teaching
speech and reading of the
lips to the deaf should 90
backwards.
My grandfather, Alexan-
der Graham Bell, taught years
ago that there is no need for
the deaf to have a sign
language or to be isolated in
a gesturing silent world Of
their own. The deaf can and
should be taught to speak
orally and to read the lips.

Coal Of $72,740,00o
KUtznick To Head UJA

NEW YORK, (JTA)-The
three-day annual national
conference of the United Jew
ish Appeal concluded h here
with the adoption of a fixed
goal of $72,740,OOO for the
UJA drive in 1861, and the
unanimous election of Philip
M. KlutZnick as UJA general
chairman. More than 1,500
delegates from all parts of
the country attended the con-
ference.
The $72,74O,OOO goal set by
the conference exceeds by
about $1O,0O0,OOO the amount
which the UJA expects to re-
ceive by the end of this year.
In setting it, the delegates to
the meeting departed from
recent UJA practice in which
communities were presented
with the budgetary needs of
the member agencies a n d
asked to raise as much as
possible toward the combined
sum. In 1861, proportionate
communal quotas will be eS-
tablished.
The delegates, who repre-
sented Jewish communities
across the nation, accepted
the fixed goal after UJA lead
erS had stressed that the $72,-
100000 represented the "irre-
ducible amount" needed by
the UJA-financed a G ncies
next year. The beneficiaries
are the United Israel Appeal,
the Joint Distribution Com
mittee, the New York Associ-
alton for New Americans and
United HAS Service.
''The United Jewish Appeal
has been and remains" Mr..
Klutznick said in his accept
ance address, "the supreme
communal activity in Ameri-
can Jewish life. This stems
from the simple fact that
UJA's purpose is the same
today as it was yesterday, to
save and build the lives of
our fellow Jews who are not

their know-hoW to the lead
ers of other communities"
Mr.. KlutZnick succeeds
Morris w. BERNSTEIN, of Sy-
racuse, NY, who served as
UJA general chairman for
three terms and headed cam
paignS which raised a three
year total of 100000. Mr..
BERNSTEIN, who was elected
UJA honorary chairman, re-
viewed the accomplishments
of the UJA both in 1860, and
for the full % years of it's
existence. He was presiding
at the annual UJA national
dinner-meeting, at which
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
of New York was the princi-
pal speaker.
Governor Rockefeller en-
phasized in his address that
the aid given by the UJA to
Israel strengthens the cause
of peace and democracy.
'The progress of Israel goes
hand in hand with the prog
ress of democracy, with the
advance of the cause of peace
and freedom" he said. PraiS-
ing the UJA's aid to IsraePS
immigrants as in Americas
interest, the Governor said
that "as we contribute to the
strength of Israel, so do we
contribute to the strength of
the free world"
Israel Ambassador Avra-
ham Harman told the dele
/ gates that, although econom-
ic conditions in Israel are inn
proving steadily, the country
still needs the millions of dol
lars donated through the
United Jewish Appeal to
settle new immigrants. The
Ambassador said that, in the
last three years, 10000 to 30,-
900 new immigrants had been
taken into Israel each year
and Converted into self-sup-
porting taxpayers" 1t was
hoped to raise this number
to 10000 a year, he added.

ours continues to be urgent.
"All over America" he
added, people have recog-
nized that we are entering a
period in which we must ap-
ply new wisdom and new en-
ergy to old and new prob
lens alike. This is no less
true in Jewish communal
life" He called upon Ameri-
can Jews to raise at least
$1O,OOO,OO0 more for UJA in
1861 than in 1860. 'Imagina-
tive and vigorous new ways
must be found to help us
realize our goal" he said.
He proposed as a first step
in this effort "that we in
augurate a broad Leader-to-

Extra One-Cent
Federal Gas Tax
Adds S13.2 Millions

If the nations governors have
their way. Virginia motorists will
be spared Sl3.2 million a year
in gasoline taxes.
Claiborne D. Gregory. execu-
tive director of the Virginia Pc
troleum Industries, noted that
the annual Governors Confer
ence has called on Congress to
restore the federal gasoline tax
TO its regular three-cent-a- gal
lon level after July 1. 1861, and
to avoid further increases in this
levy. Under temporary boost
which went into effect last fall
and is slated to expire June 80,
1861, the federal gasoline tax is
currently four cents a gallon.
This additional cent is costing
Virginia vehicle operators 1872
million a year and nationwide
adds some 1888 million annual
ly to the tax load borne by
highway users. Gregory noted.
In formal resolution. t h e
governors recommended IN a t

highway construction program
should be bolstered by using
large proportion of federal
automobile excise taxes. Cur
rently. ST. billion a year in
these taxes are being channeled

Gregory said that Virginia
motorists are paying a total of
II cents gallon in gasoline
taxes since, besides the four-cent
federal tax, they have to pay a
state tax of seven cents a gal

The union, in a brief filed

The union said that although
the Circuit Court referred to a

of a privilege violates the free

RICHMOND, Mar. 81 (AP),
Commonwealth Attorney T..
Gray Haddon said today there
is a very good chance" that
a Hastings Court grand jury
will be convened to investigate
gambling operations in Rich
mond.
His statement followed a
conference involving himself,
Hastings Court Judge w. Mos
coe Huntley and City Manager
Horace Edwards.
Consideration of such a
move is based on a statement
by a Federal grand jury which
a week ago said it had learned
Overwhelming evidence of ap-
palling and flagrant disregard
for law and order which, we
believe, seriously threatens the
general welfare of our city and
State"
Mr.. Haddon said he could
not estimate when Judge
Huntley might call for a
grand jury-if he does.
"It might be today or it
might be a week." he said
There is much preliminary
work to do"
Nor would the Common
wealth's attorney say whether
all, or some, of the los city
policemen who appeared before
the Federal grand jury would
fbe summoned to testify before
the State grand jury.
Mr.. Haddon, along with City
Attorney J. Elliott Drinard,
was to appear at Federal Dis
trict Court today to argue
merits of a petition by Mr.
Drainard that the Federal
grand jury records be turned
over to city officials. The State
also is seeking access to the
