TOM DRAKE
FAVORS DISPERSAL OF
WARRINGTON STUDENTS

Tom Drake, a practicing at
torney, candidate for 9Th Ward
alderman subject to next Tuesdays
primary election stated his posi-
ton on various campaign issues
to this newspaper this week.
On school de facto segregation
Drake stated: THE Warrington
Elementary School should be razed
and the students enrolled in four
other elementary schools in nearby
areas. 1t Is unfair to both the min
ority group and the majority group
to have segregation in our schools.
Our present society demands that
our education system supply the
absolutely necessary intercultural
background for our youth. This Is
impossible If we have segregation
in our schools. Action is what we
need-not prolonged discussions,
arguments and procrastination."
On other issues Mr.. Drake, fav-
ors streamlining Of city govern
ment; zoning should be accomp-
lished by making each zone part
city and part suburb; no more
liquor licenses in 9Th ward and
more available supervised recrea-
tional areas and parks.

American prestige was very
low. There were speeches
about the alleged missile
gap" and Mr.. Kennedy often
referred to surveys which.
he said, showed that q ma
jority of the people in several
countries believed the Soviet
Union was ahead Of us
militarily and scientifically"
Even the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, whose
chairman was Senator Full
bright Of Arkansas, Demo-
crat, issued a report on June
%, 1860. criticizing President
Eisenhower for having used
the U-2 surveillance planes.
The committee claimed it
didn't have all the informa-
ton 1t needed, but then said
anyhow:
The development, publica-
ton, examination and dis
cussion Of information such
as this, 1t seems to the COM
mittee, is essential to the
democratic process. When
carried on responsibility, 1t
can only produce beneficial
results, even at critical
moments in our foreign af-
fairs. Only through q public
airing Of the facts can q
representative government be
held to proper account and
its mistakes, If any, identi-
fled and corrected"
Many Republicans who In
recent weeks have re-exam-
ined that paragraph in the
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee report took it to
heart and tried to "air the
facts" so as TO produce
beneficial results" But Sem
ator Fulbright, nevertheless,
has just denounced the Re-
publicanS as partisan. The
truth is that in the Demo-

critics have been more severe
in their castigation of the

publicans have been.
Maybe If the bipartisan
critics keep up their airing

tinuance of a Soviet military
