March of Dimes Aids Child Polio Victim;
She Dedicofes Herself TO HELPING Blind

At one despairing point
during Mary 10 Phillips
seven-year confinement in
a hospital near Boston, and
while she was an iron-lung
prisoner of polio, a nurs-
ing nun read aloud to the
frightened little girl these
words of the tormented
Job:
Il was eyes to the blind"
Mary 10, herself tormented
after seven operations and three
months in an iron lung, never
forgot Jobs words. At Ken
nedyMemorial Hospital, Bright
on, a nun and physical thera-
pist suggested that since the
plight of the blind touched
Mary 10 deeply, she might
want to try her hand at tram
scribing Braille.
Nothing interested her more.
Mary JOS fascination with
learning to write for the sight
less was healthy in two ways.
Physically, the manual effort
of applying the Braille awl to
the fberboard strengthened her
thin arms and fingers once
paralyzed by polio. And spiri-
tually, this labor of love for
those even more terribly af-
ficted than she, expressed her
gratitude to God at surviving
her own ordeal.
The first words Mary 10
wrote in Braille, for the blind
to read through their finger
tips, were those of the unhap-
Ply Job. (The Old Testament
patriarch was reminding the
Lord of his own succor to those
whose eyes had failed.)

spent half of those years in
hospitals, now is home with
her overjoyed parents, Mr.. and

man, Mass. In her wheel chair.
the child continues her plucky
fight today against the ravages
of bulbar polio.
With $4,000 in March of
Dimes contributions, The Ma
tional Foundation has brought
Mary 10 along to the point
where she can type slowly,
write, paint water colors, dress
herself with just a little help"
and even walk a few steps sup
ported by her crutches.
But above all, the little girl
is devoted to her labors with
Braille. When she completes

Civil Rights

on the controversial matter of
civil rights legislation there has
rarely been as much finger-point-
ing by the major parties. Each
accuses the other of slowing action
on getting moderate bill. now
lodged in the House Rules Com
mittee, to the floor.
The pro-civil rights Democrats
say that if the Republicans on the
committee voted with Northern
Democrats, the bill would be re-
ported out. Democrats outnumber
Republicans on the group by 8 to 4.
Republicans, on the other hand,
say Democrats are Democrats and
they, with their tremendous ma
joritieS, on the committee and in
the House itself, could get the
measure to the floor if they really
wanted to do so.
A petition signed by 2l6 men,
bers could force the bills dis
charge from the committee. One
now in circulation has 1874 names
on 1t, mostly Democrats. But, as
is usual in cases like this, as you
move nearer the magic number
new signatures become more diff
cult to get.
Few observers believe that Con-
gresS will fail to vote some kind
of civil rights legislation in this
election year. But many see ap-
proval of a relatively mild one,
and one which may not give either
party any real advantage over the
other in the drive for the Negro
vote.

THE NATIONAL SCENE

Of card-carrying Democratic lib
erals in the Senate have simmered
in helpless Illustration over Lyn-
don JohnSon's policy of modera-
tion and compromise with the
Eisenhower administration.
With a new presidential cleo
tlon campaign coming up these
liberals feel that Democrats must
demonstrate that theirs is the
party Of social progress. To do this,
they argue, the line of differences
between the Democratic Party and
the G. o. p, blurred under the
johnson regime, must be sharp
ened.
Last week their bubble of frus-
tration broke and they openly
challenged the tall Texan who
would be President. But their
proposals to dilute his leadership
power was smashed by 51-to-l2
vote.
The defeat of this little band of
predominantly Northern rebels"
made it clear that the liberal ele-
ment, so strong in the Democratic
National Committee, will continue
to have small voice on party
policy on Capitol Hill. And there
is where the party image for 1860
is to be made.

a single industry as envisoned by
the administration.
According to Secretary Mitchell,
everyone participated in serious
discussion of the work rules issue
and how to create better under
standing of all problems in the
union-management relationship in
steel.
Secretary Mitchell hopes that,
with some administrative nudging,
labor and management will in
itiate conference in every
industry without waiting for
Washington to fire the starting
gum"
These conferences can try to
meet problems that are not sus-
ceptible to bargaining, he believes,
such as "the impact of research
and development on unemploy-
ment, any practices that may be
detrimental to labor or to man.
agement or to an entire industry,
the impact of foreign competition
and the maintenance of a high
order of productivity"
How many industry meetings
will materialize and whether they
will be more successful than the
formal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT con-
ferenccS which failed remains to
be seen. Limited experience with
meetings Of this kind shows
different results.
The steel industry itself set a
poor example. In few important
industries have there been so
many attempts at labor-manage-
ment cooperation in recent years
with such shocking results.

Gen. MacArthur's longest trip in
recent years covered SIS miles. On
a rainy Sunday morning two years
ago. he suddenly invited his for
mer aide and old friend, Maj. Gen.

They arrived unannounced at
the military academy, where Gen.
Macarthur led Gen. Whitney to
the cadet mess hall. An attendant
stopped them visitors, he said,
weren't permitted at that hour.
The general said. I'm sorry.
We were just browsing. I gradu-
ated from here. MacArthur's the
name"
The attendant almost disinte-
grated. At West Point, the Mac
Arthur name is held in almost the
same reverence given Robert E.
Lee. They were allowed into the
mess hall

also provides him with a driver

more time in his apartment. Here
he lives with Mrs. Macarthur and

Attitude on Hoffo
Trucking management feels the
same about sitting down with
James R Hoffa, disputed head of
the Teamsters Union.
The Administration shift to
informal, single-industry discus
sions raises the question of why,
in Secretary MitchellS words,
previous conferences involving
general industry have failed.
The reason usually given is that
in large, formal conferences, where
the participants are on the record
and in the public spotlight, both
sides tend to take fixed positions
in support of long standing OBJ
jectives.
Two successful labor
ment conferences took place under
war preSsures.
In 1918, there was agreement
on War Labor Board to settle
disputes The agreement also rec
ognized the right of workers to
organize and bargain collectively.
In l94l, there was a similar
agreement on a o-strike-no-lock-
out pledge and another WLB. The
issue of compulsory union men,
bership was unresolved, but was
later compromised by WLB
policy requiring workers who
voluntarily join a union to stay in
to keep their job.

AS Congress faces the election,
passage Of meaningful education
legislation for school construction
and college housing appears ia
vorable.
Administration approval and
enactment may depend on wheth-
er Vice President Nixon's political
influence outweighs both President
Eisenhower's economy -mindedness
and Minority Leader Halleck's op-
position to a school bill.
The Democratic congressional
leadership seems to have decided
that only Federal grant program
for school construction can and
should pass this session. If it
should be vetoed, then the DEM
ocratic leaders believe they will
have a popular issue to present to
the voters during the campaign.
The major education debate will
shortly begin in the Senate where
the Mcnamara bill SO was reported
by the Labor and Public Welfare
Committee last September. This
provides for Federal expenditure
Of 81 billion in grants over a two
year period to build total of
$4,000 claSSroomS. Federal funds
would be made available to the
States on matching basis on the
basis of per capita income, school
age population and the States
own school financing efforts so
that the neediest local school dis
tricts should benefit the most.
The Financial Issue
The fundamental conflict be-
tween the Democrats and the ad-
minlstratien is over the issue of
how to finance the needed class
rooms.
Secretary of Health, Education
and Welfare Flemming has re-
ported that there is a current
shortage of 1872, 400 classrooms and
that I'VE are losing ground in
our efforts to overcome the class
room shortage" because the num-
ber of school children is increas-
ing. He estimates that the number
of pupils enrolled in excess of
normal classroom capacity rose
from 1,850,O00 in the fall Of 1853
to 1888, 900 last fall"
In addition, he has pointed out
that State and local bond sales
tend to be concentrated in only
a few States.
The administration proposal
provides for a 20 to 80 year school
construction bond issue floated
by local authorities. The Federal
Government and the States would
share the debt service charges.
The Democrats argue that such
a program would mortgage our
grandchildren" to meet current
needs in the face of rising school
requirements during the period
Of the proposed bond issue. Esti-
mates show that the total ele-
menatry school attendance will
increase by 1874 per cent in the
years from 1858 to 1865 while the
increase at the secondary level
will be Al per cent for the same
period. BY 1880 it is estimated
that the present school age popu-
lation, 5 through II, will increase
go per cent from 4l.8 to ST. mil
lion students.
Likelihood Of Compromise
The Democrats are not likely
to accept any compromise which,
to meet the administration A.
nancial views. involves bond issues
by local school districts. Such a
proposal, they believe. relieves the
Federal Government, best able to
finance classrooms, of the major

The Nixon Image

Vice President Nixon has been
criticized often. whether fairly
or not, as a man hard to pin down
on the big issues. a man. indeed,
without real political philosophy.
His critics point to the recent
descriptions of him by two sup
porterS. who themselves are on
opposite ends Of the continuum of
Republican Party thinking. Sena-
tor Aiken of Vermont, a liberal,
said Mr.. Nixon was a moderate
liberal and certainly no arch con-
servative. Senator Goldwater of
Nevada. a proud member of the
Old Guard. called Mr.. Nixon a
true conservative.
Middle of-Rood Line
AS matter of fact, the Vice
President has been following the
Eisenhower middle = of the road
line for the last seven years. 1t
is perhaps natural, then, that
both liberal and conservative
friends would identify Him with
themselves.
The question Of what Mr.. Nixon
is and thinks, however, is going to
be made quite plain in the coming
months. On Friday, in an TIL
were-elected" campaign kickoff in
Gainesville, Fla. ne spoke his
mind on several key issues-civil
rights, Federal aid to education
and relations with the Soviet
Union.
While the Republican leader
confirmed that he planned to run
in general-on the administra-
ton record, he added. perhaps
significantly, that he planned Ito
build on" the Eisenhower policies.
This may be taken as notice
that he will have some imagina-
tive proposals of his own. 1t
also should be a warning to those
who believe a few vicious cartoons
and a campaign against the Nixon
of 1852 will be good enough to de-
feat him.
