PAYMENT FOR MERIT

There is a strong movement afOOt TO
increase the general salary level of public
school teachers. This is a continuation of
the movement that has steadily raised tea
cher pay during the past several years.
The National Education Associations re-
Gently issued report on national school needs
comes out strongly for substantial improve
ment in the rewards for public school teach
ing. The president of the American FEEDER
alton of Teachers said at the groups con-
vention that teachers "are about to cast off
the genteel poverty that they have been told
goes with dedication and professionalism
to fight for legitimate professional status
and professional reward that are their due" !"
Thoughtful citizens generally acknowl-
edge that if our system is to provide top
notch education we must pay enough to at
tract and hold able teachers. Citizens
groups have taken the lead, in some COM
munities, in efforts to raise teacher pay.
This is a necessary development, but
more is involved than simply boosting sal
aries and fringe benefits. AS this is done,
the question of merit pay-that is, of stim-
uating excellence by paying higher salaries
to the best teachers-ought to be seriously
considered. This aspect of the matter is
often neglected and there is no lack of out
right opposition to the whole concept of
merit pay We think the idea deserves far
more attention than it has thus far received
in most communities.

ROCKEFELLER'S GOAL

Governor Nelson Rockefeller, running
for reelection in New York, has mapped out
a notably ambitious program He would like
to win by the greatest plurality the Repub-
licans ever got in the state.
That would really be something. The top
mark was set in 1856 by President Eisen-
hover, when he got 1,589,571. No doubt
Rockefeller would gladly settle for the high
est margin of victory in governorship race.
The previous record, 847 900, was made by
Herbert H. Lehman, in his first race for
governor in 1882.
Rockefeller would be satisfied with a
comfortable triumph, did he not want to
surpass his 1858 figure of 573,034. That,
coming in a Democratic year, really made
politicians sit up. If Vice President Nixon
had not been campaigning for years, this
victory might have made Rockefeller the
1860 nominee instead of Nixon.
If Rockefeller now should fail to equal
his 1858 vote it would be taken as a sign
that he was losing popularity. And when a
party or a candidate starts to skid, it is
hard to stop.
Four years ago Rockefeller was re-
freshing novelty. His administration, like
most, has evoked both praise and blame. He
may not expect to reach the goal he has set,
but he is showing vigor and determination
in the attempt.

SENATE ADOPTS CLOTURE

Recently the Senate voted cloture, or
debate closing, for the first time since 1927.
When the Senate adopts cloture it means
that each senator is limited to total of one
hours further discussion of the bill being
considered.
The amusing thing about the filibuster
was that the group filibustering was main
ly composed of group of Liberals who have
consistently condemned filibustering in the
past, particularly when the filibustering has
been done by Southerners. AS a matter of
fact, the majority of the opponents of the
administrations Communications Satellite
Bill usually begin each session of Congress
with an attempt to repeal Senate Rule XXI,
by which this and prior filibusters have been
protected
1t appears that the senators, as a whole,
must have tired of these arguments. They
adopted cloture and proved that the late
Senate majority leader, Joseph t. Robinson,
was wrong when he remarked that nobody
but Almighty God can interrupt a Senator
who has obtained the floor"
Milford chronicle., 1962-09-07
THE ANTI-SOUTH WRITER'S

We are never impressed by the violence,
sex and degradation paraded across the
pages of books by Southerners, in what is
billed to other sections and peoples of the
country as an accurate reflection of life in
the South.
Recently one of the most famous South
ern muck writer's announced that he would
write no more on this subject Apparently,
having made his pile, he feels pangs of
conscience.
Along with this selling of the soul comes
the present trend in which Southern news
papers are bought by non-Southern owners
or chains. Then these newspapers immedi-
ately begin to reflect the editorial tone of
the owner-a thousand miles away. This
process is an affront to the Independent
press of the country. In a sense the press
may be said to still be free, but in another
sense, chain papers, selling central theme
from afar, are not free.
Unfortunately, there is little that appar-
emily can be done about the process. Money
talks and it buys the sort of writing that
it wants. Also it can buy newspapers. And
so long as the South is relatively poor, it's
newspapers will probably continue to be
bought by outsiders.

UNIDENTIFIED DRUGS

It is shocking to learn that, despite all
the publicity about the hazards of using
thalidomide. quantities of the drug are still
in the hands of laymen. 1t. is particularly
disturbing to find that a Food and Drug
Administration survey turned up more than
400 doctors who had not tried to get in
touch with patients who had been given
some of the drug. These doctors comprise
about one-third of those who had distri-
buted thalidomide to patients in clinical
investigation of its effects.
Two conclusions are strongly emphasiz-
ed by this situation. The first is that more
carefully controlled system of clinical in
vestigation of new drugs-that is, test use
in cases selected by doctors-is needed in
this country. Closer tabs should be kept on
supplies of new drugs prescribed as part of
the clinical testing program, and there
should be a provision for more prompt re-
porting of undesirable side effects so that
FDA can send out warning and withdraw
al notice if necessary.
The other conclusion to be drawn from
this latest part of the thalidomide episode
is that household medical cabinets should
periodically be cleaned out. This has been
stressed by FDA Commissioner George P.
Larrick, who notes that thalidomide might
be mistaken for other drugs. That applies
to all unidentified drugs, some of which are
to be found in most home medicine cabinets.
Once the occasion for using such drugs has
passed, they should be discarded. Home
medical supplies should be checked from
time to time to make sure that this has
been done.

LAND GRANT AUTHOR

This year is the Tooth since the pass
age of legislation authorizing the grant. of
public lands for educational institutions. At
present SO institutions have profted by this
permission. The author of this enlightened
statute was Justin S. Morrill, of Vermont,
senator from 1867 to his death in 1898.
Morrill, was also the author of the Mir
rill tariff of 1861, which turned the country
from its previous low-tariff policies to pro-
tectionism. The change remained perma-
nent until passage of the Underwood" Sim
mons Act of 1913, Wilson administration
measure which cut duties decidedly. With the
return of the Republicans to power, the
tariff was raised higher and higher. The
New Deal reversed this trend, particularly
by the Reciprocal Trade Act of 1884.
Morrill, thus affected American domestic
policy considerably. But important as his
tariff measure was, the land grant statute
has had even more far-reaching effects-ef
fects which are, indeed, still being felt
throughout the nation.

organiza atoms and their procedure
of operating their affairs and the
manner of operations typical OF
governmental agencies as required
of the BIA. The processes of both
need improvement to the extent
that one can work with the other
in a more prompt and sensitive
fashion Many tribes elect or Sc
lect officers and councilmen on an
annual basis, which results in an
nual changes in emphasis of GER
tain projects when different
officers and significant changes are
made among the councilmen.
This hampers the development
of long range plans to fit into the
BIA budget process. One set of
officers and council members can
not be certain that they will be
reelected nor sure that subsequent
officers and council members will
continue any given project with the
same emphasis.
The government budget process
requires programming of work
projects to be done at least IL
months prior to receipt of funds to
perform. One can readily see that
from original plans to the finished
job three sets of office and
councilmen will be involved.
Putting dates on a typical ex-
ample, here is how it would work
The tribe develops a road project
TO submit to the BIA for construc-
ton: this would need to be done
prior TO July 1, 1862; if approved,
funds could be expected July /,
1868: if a year is required to COM
plete the job it would be expected
to be completed about June 30,
1864. The 1862 officers and council
start the budget, the 1868 officers
see the start of construction and
the 1864 officers see it completed
If any changes are desired from
one group TO the next the BIA is
faced with building the road re-
gardless of urgency of need, let
the money lapse, or transfer to
another road project on another
reservation.
How can this be improved? |
think the burden of pushing for i'm
provemenrs will lie with the tribes
(Such as Governor Torrivio has
done in securing public sympathy.
For lasting accomplishments, how
ever, the tribes need to maintain
a long range system of program
ming, budgeting. accounting and
reporting TO the council in a con-
sistenf organized manner.
To prevent changes in officers
from losing continuity and famil-
iarity. would recommend the en-
ployment of a business manager,
either on a consulting basis or full
time basis. To install such a sys-
TEN would permit regular and in
formative reports to be furnished

By RAY GOETTLNC
In view of the publicity given
the Acoma Indians request for
Peace Corps assistance. and our
convers atoms. | am presenting my
opinions on various aspects in
volved which contribute TO the diff
ficulties experienced by the Indians
and more particularly TO those
without sufficient financial
resources to materially help them
selves.
Many private and state organi-
cations use foundation and tax funds
to STUDY and give aid in resolving
Indian problems. Occasionally
these problems are aired publicly
and certain injusuces come TO
light Progress of the Bureau of
Indian Affairs TO meet these pro-
blems are criticized, and Some
justifiably, but | am sure that many
BIA officials are not satisfied with
their own progress and are always
attempting to find better solutions.
The recent publicity deals with
physical projects such as roads,
wafer. sanitation, schools. indus
trial and economic al Improvement.
What constitutes satisfactory con-
ditions or what constitutes salts
factory progress toward adequate
goals will differ from one indivi-
dual or group to another. The
proper approach to determining
this is with the Indians themselves.
They must develop detectives of
their own against which progress
can be measured.
Their complaint is that very few
officials consult with them as to
just what they think should be done,
what the Indians should be willing
to contribute towards this goal and
help develop a mutual plan The
BIA is responsible for this coord-
ination. but comes in for consid-
cradle Criticism for the lack of
reviewing programs and budgets
with the tribes involved. What the
present status of physical require
ments is | will not comment on,
except TO Say much is to be desired
To me the greatest handicap TO
achieving satisfactory progress is
the difference between the Indian
