Decline in Engineering Students

dreds Of secondary schools
which are not preparing
pupils to enter college.
This is a special dilemma
OF the Southeastern States
and, in particular, Of those
Deep South commonwealths
which presently are engaged
in the folly Of massive
defiance of Federal and con-
stitutlonal law.
STEPPED in the bitter tea
OF propaganda by extremist
elements, which threaten
political reprisal at any
person supporting public
education in any slight degree
desegregated, they are will
ling to close their schools,
even though a placement law
offers them an escape from
what they profess most to
fear - an overrunning Of
their schools by new Negro
pupils.
The children Of these
States are. based on all the
statistical criteria, receiving
an education we'll below the
national average. In Georgia,
for example, a State legis-
lative committee, after ex-
amining the school system,
reported with dismay that
work at Georgia Institute Of
Technology and the State
university was beyond" the
graduates of many rural and
small-toWn high schools. This
is true of hundreds of Deep
South schools. If, as threat
ened, their schools are closed,
the educational results will
be catastrophe and long
lasting.
The rigors OF education are
as nothing compared with
lack Of it.

DORIS FLEESON
Democratic Senators Viewed as Unable
To Afford Compromises This Year

A durable Senate conserva-
tive coalition is ruled out
this year by presidential
politics on both sides Of the
aisle.
The many Democratic Sen
ators who are cycling the ma
tional ticket, especially Ma
jority Leader johnson, can
not afford the passive atti-
tudes and compromises of
the past few years. The evi-
dence Of their changed tenn
per appeared in the first
legislative debate of the Ses-
sion when a liberal coalition
put teeth in the clean elec-
tions bill with surprising ease.
For Vice President Nixon
and the party he will lead
into the election it is desir-
able to have some part of
their forces in the congress
sional arena turn az east a
modestly liberal fac ! to the
voters. Mr.. NiXon's choice of
the Senate for this role was
shrewdly done for many rea-
sons, not least Of which is
the fact that Senators and
the Senate get very much
more publicity and public at
tention than the large, un-
wieldy House.
Another reason is that the
newer Republican Senators
from the big States so i'm
portant to presidential sue
cess were demanding an end
to Old Guard domination on
issues important to them.

critical remarks by Representa-

He said the groups majority
again reiterates the old con-
tradiction between the execu-

right to know If the sub

Mr.. Hoffman's statement
was concurred in by four other
Republicans on the full COM
mittee.
The report dealt specifically
with the Nays refusal to let
the GAO examine in full a
procurement review report of
the Military Sea Transporta-
ton Service.
The Navy argued it supplied
the GAO with all pertinent in
formation but withheld what
it called certain Opinions, con-
clusions and recommendations"
on grounds that disclosing
them would discourage naval
officers from volunteering can
did opinions on their work.
In withholding the informa-
ton the Navy invoked the doc
trine of executive privileges
under which the President
withholds matters from Con-

public interest. The subcom-
mittee contends this doctrine
has no legal foundation.

WILLIAM S. WHITE

Now that a few voices in
in France are daring to ques-
ton the lofty and heretofore
unchallenged authority of
Charles de Gaulle, it might
be supposed that this tall
and frost-bitten old patriot
would become a bit less de-
manding with his Allies.
But there is reason to be-
lieve that Gen. de Gaulle is
coming here to meet Presi-
dent Eisenhower on April %
more convinced than ever
that his is the one correct
opinion among the Allied
leaders.
Information of a confiden-
tial but completely respon-
sible nature suggests, indeed,
that once again we shall see
proof of an old French say
ing: The more things change
the more they remain the
same. President de Gaulle's
power base in France has
certainly been changed. He
has suffered rebellions in the
cabinet and new threats of
disobedience from a among
some of the military men.
All the same, his view is
unchanged-except stronger
that the other Western al
lies must take their cue from
his thinking in dealing with
the cold war. Some of the
reasons for all this rest on
purely impersonal facts of
world politics.
Gen. De Gaulle is deeply
annoyed and distressed that
the United States has not
given the support which he

The aesthetics or avant-gard-

COMPETITION CLOSE -
Among the 10 writers nomi-
mated, in two categories, for
awards this year, there is lit
tie chance for a coSmic mis-
calculation on the part of the
voters. Well. on second thought,
there may be one.
This is Karl Tunberg who is
up for Ben Hur." 1t is the
general understanding among
a great many persons, especial
ly those who visited the picture
on location in Rome. that the
writer's on Ben Hur" were
Christopher Fry and Gore
Vidal. This correspondent &C
tually saw and had a long talk
with Mr.. Fry in the upper
classes lunchroom at Cinecitta
where the film was being shot.
That neither Mr.. Fry's nor
Mr.. Vidal's name turns up
among the Ben Hur" credits is
due to a technicality, namely
that neither is a member of
the Screen Writers Guild. Mr..
Tunberg. therefore, gets all of
the credit for the adaptation on
which he probably did a mere
some"
The solution, should any
Academy voter trust this cor
ner'S judgment, would be to
give the Oscar to Bob Ander-
son who did THE Nuns Story"
And, all by himself. This is not
to deprecate the other NOM
ineeS, Wendell Mayes for AN
atomy of a Murder" A. L. |
Diamond for Some Like 1t
Hot" or Neil Paterson for
Room at the Top"
1t is just that Mr.. Ander-
son did such a tidy job on a
difficult dramatizing of the bat
tie that goes on in a human |
conscience. One played so bril-
liantly by Audrey Hepburn.
AND THE ORIGINALS. The /
writing nominations that really |
could crack the brains of Acad-
emy voters are those in the
field of originals.
The best" choices in this
category run virtually the
