The National Education
Association states that there
is a shortage of $4,000 teach
ers in the United States. The
cold war with Russia may be
won or lost in the classroom,

meet this crisis, a novel sug-
gestion is offered by DR.. Rob-

Pittsburgh. in an article In
Columbia University's Teach

poses that all teacher colleges
be required to meet o quota

the standards by forcing col

EAktlS.
OF all the accusations
hurled at French President
Charles de Gaulle since his
veto Of Britain's entry into
the Common Market, the
charge Of narrow nationalisrn
is probably the least justi-
fled.
In the British and Ameri-
can press-and in some parts
Of Europe as well-the gem
eral Is being pictured as an
enemy not only to the Allan
tic community but to Eu-
rope itself.
It Is argued that the in
terests which motivated him
In lowering the boom on Brit
ain were exclusively French
interests without regard to
those Of his Common Mar
ket partners. It is predicted
that II Gen. de Gaulle gets
his way Europe will be sub
Ject to French domination
as 1t was in the days Of Ma
poleon or Louis XIV,
Thus Adlai Stevenson &C
cuses the French president
OF separate division ma
tionalism," which Is not the
same as patriotism, ito en-
large a country's illusory
sense Of potency and influ-
ence and reduce its secur-
ity and economic viability."
The idea is worth closer
examination, both in terms
of Gen. de Gaulle's concept of
Europe and the motives
which led him to torpedo
Britain's application to Eu-
rope.
The general quite certain
ly Is a nationalist. Nations in
his book are "the least i'm
partial and the most selfish
things in the world" As the
head Of q nation, he is in
flexibly dedicated to French
interests as he sees them.
To infer from this, how
ever, that his view of French
interests are somehow hos
tile to those of the Euro
pean community as q whole
depends entirely on what
kind Of European" you talk
to.
Three Concepts
There are essentially three
kinds.
There are, to begin with,
the "Federalists, " of the stripe
OF Jean Monnet and Robert
Schuman, who believe in the
ultimate possibility Of a
United States of Europe"
and who work for community
institutions with suprana-
tional powers to gradually re-
place the authority Of In
dividual governments.
There are the "Confederal-
lists" such as Gen. de Gaulle,
who believe that for the time
being at least the countries Of
Europe must retain their
identity and ultimate SOW
ereignty. But at the same
time community institutions
must be strengthened and
perfected with the ultimate
objective Of welding Western
Europe into an economic po-
litical and military bloc equal
IN stature to Russia and the
United States.
There are. finally, a large
group which might be called
Atlantic Unionists." They
believe that the overriding es-

Bert johnson, the new Arlington
County manager, is rejecting the senti-
ment Of County Board members in
enunciating a policy against racial
discrimination in county government
employment. Surely most Arlington
residents also would second his state
ment that while Negroes should not be
given Jobs "just because they are Ne
groes," neither should racial considera-
tons deny Negroes any county Jobs for
which they are qualified.
Technically, as county officials have
been fond of saying in the past, Airing
ton actually has had -discrimina-
tory hiring policy for long time. The
existence Of such policy can matter
either a great deal or very little, how
ever, depending upon its manner Of
implementation. For despite this policy,
most Of the county's Negro employees
are laborers and not a single Negro,
for example, is on the Arlington police
force. Mr.. johnson says, however, that
the policy of Arlington County from
now on will be to hire competent people
regardless OF race, and that he will take
a personal hand in any cases of dis
elimination brought to his attention.
This Is a statement which serves as
q reminder to private employers. The
local testimony taken on this point by
the U. 8. Civil Rights Commission during
the last few days affords all-too-ample
evidence Of glazing discriminatory
practices which still must be overcome
before the Metropolitan Area can boast
that 1t offers equal opportunity in Jobs.

Examining De GouIIe's Accusers
Foreign Correspondent Of The stur

sential for Europe is q close
and continuing association
with the United States. Any
thing which tends to weaken
American influence or inter-
est in Europe is to be avoided.
The Atlantic partnership
takes precedence over all
other detectives, including
unification and consolidation
Of Europe itself.
Split Widened by De GauIle
1t is these three concepts
Of Europe that are in con-
flict over Gen. de Gaulle's
latest moves. His decision to
bar Britain has sharpened
the disagreements and Wild
ened the differences that
have existed all along among
the three groups.
The Federalists, who gen.
orally oppose Gen. de Gaulle's
policies, have condemned his
decision on Britain. At the
same time, however, they are
intentionally aware of q
serious contradiction In their
own arguments. The entry of
Britain into Europe certainly
would have done nothing
whatever to hasten the crea-
ton Of a United States Of
Europe. Increasing the six
nation community by one or
more additional members
would Inevitably weaken the
cohesion and unity of pur-
pose that has marked the ex-
pertinent so far.
There Is, in fact, a good
deal less real conflict be-
tween the Federalists and
the Gaullists than may ap-
pear. The difference is more
one Of timing than Of con-
cept. Gen. de Gaulle him.
self admits the possibility Of
ultimate federation Of Eu-
rope-say in about so years.
Though he is skeptical Of
transferring sovereignty to
new supernatural" institu-
lions. he believes firmly in
strengthening the machinery
for European cooperation in
all essential domains.
There was nothing at all in
his decision to exclude Brit
ain that amounts to q be-
trayal Of European confeder-
alton or the spirit Of the
Common Market in favor Of
a narrow nationalism. Right
ly or wrongly, the general
came to the conclusion that
Britain's entry on the condi-
tons demanded in Brussels
would destroy the essential
unity Of the continental
group.
He believes quite sincerely
that the result would be sim
ply absorption Of Europe
within an Atlantic commu-
nifty dominated by the United
States. And that the whole
concept Of European unity
would be sacrificed.
The real conflict, then, is
between Gen. de Gaulle and
those who hold that Atlantic
solidarity-or ''interdepend-
ence"-is the all-important
essential. Today 1t Is not
Gen. de Gaulle but the Allan
tic Unionists who are threat
ening to wreck the Common
Market and the unity Of Eu-
rope which Francois q

interest-ardently pursues.

Pockets of Misery

In taking up the needs Of
our senior citizens at his lat
est press conference Presi-
dent Kennedy showed that he
was more than q statesman,
a term additionally restricted
to those who could deal
sharply in the card game Of
international diplomacy. He
proved that he cared for
those unable to care for
themselves, who in their brief,
uncomfortable lives were un-
able to accumulate the money
or influence required to sway
public opinion and influence
policy. In this he was trans
cending his own personal
background Of wealth and
social distinction and follow
ing in the footsteps Of Gau-
tama Buddha and Jesus
Christ.
OF all our Presidents, It
was Lincoln who personified
this quality in the greatest
measure, instinctively sensing
the tragedy of all human
existence. In the annals Of
history, there are very few
monarchs or heads Of govern
ment who rose above the con-
Germs that rulers were ex-
pected to busy themselves
with: Diplomacy. war and en-
richment Of the royal treas
ury. One Of the memorable
exceptions was Asoka, King Of

from Afghanistan to Madras,
who after q brief interregnum
Of war, in which incidentally
he distinguished himself, was
appalled, by its horrors and
cruelties and spent the rest
Of his reign planting trees.

the betterment of all the tribes.

The proposed coalition would
also benefit the Indian people
by insuring greater strength at
