tion of the actual weapons.
"No decisive victory in the cold
war is possible as long as the
Soviets hold as terrifying an edge
in military readiness over the West
as they do today," he said.
Baruch said the waste of defense
billions resulted from failure to
put into operation the vast system
of antl-iniiation controls that Con
gress voted after the Korean out
break. "These powers were not used
for months during which living
costs soared, all, savings were
cheapened and the real purchas
ing power of every defense dollar
was slashed by one-fifth," he said,
adding:
"Tribute" May Be Uppad
"This needless inflation already
has cost us 12 billion dollars in
higher costs of defense and is likely
to exact another 10 billion dollars
in needless tribute over the next
fiscal year. , . (Baruch did not ex
plain his use of the word
"tribute."
Looking ahead, Baruch urged
Congress to trim out all possible
"unnecessary and postponable ex
penditures." But, he added:
"When you live under the sha
dow of war. as we do today, all
actions must be valued in terms
of time."

School Tie With
Democracy Told
By Speaker Here
The National Citizens Commis
sion for the Public Schools has as
its purpose, to help Americans re
alize how important our public
schools are to our expanding dem
ocracy and to arouse in each com
munity the intelligence and will to
improve our public schools.
These aims were presented by
Kenneth H. Dobelbower, Sacra
mmtn Western States regional di
rector for the commission, who
spoke before the Roseburg Kiwan
ls Club Tuesday noon.
Dobelbower is scheduled to
speak to the Senior High School
staff this afternoon and at a pub
lic meeting at the Junior High
School at 8 p.m. tonight. His visit
here is part of the program of
the natonal organization to pro
mote greater participation by the
public in the purposes, programs
and problems of schools.
The commission, he explained,
is a non profit corporation for the
improvement of the public schools.
Its formation was anounced in
May, 1949. Its members are U. S.
citizens not professionally identi
fied with education, religion or
politics. They reflect many differ
en. kinds of experience, serve as
individuals and do not represent
any organization or group. The
commission has received financial
support from such organizations
as the Carnegie Corporation and
the General Education Board.
The commission makes every ef
fort to encourage the formation of
independent community groups
for the purpose of improving lo
cal public schools, said Dobelbow
er. It acts as a clearing house to
enable existing groups to benefit
from the experience of others, he
said.
Three Concepts Nt tdtd
Local citizens committees
should, to be successful, have
three basic concepts: They should
represent the whole community in
which they are serving; they
should be objective rather than
emotional, and the successful com
mittee should work very closely
with school directors.
Commissions have been formed
at the request of school boards
seeking solutions to school prob
lems, and sometimes by I u e h
groups as PTA's offering aid to
the directors in their program.
The national commission, Dobel
bower emphasized, takes no stand
on any national issues, nor does
it affiliate with local commissions.
In this way no pressure is brought
against local groups.
In response to questioning, he
referred briefly to the Pasadena,
Calif., school case, in which dif
ficulty arose, but, he stated, thTe
