understood."
Died tm 14S
White died in 1948, three days
after he denied being a Communist
in testimony before the House Un-
American Activities Committee.
Morgenthau told Eastland's
stoud June 1 that while he was
secretary of the treasury he had
no reason to question White s toy
alty. He ' said that not until some
time after his resignation did he
learn of the charges against White.
Among the diary excerpts placed
in the record was a report from a
treasury employe in Lisbon on
commercial and economic activi
ties of the Axis powers in Portugal
The brief report, headed "Econom
ic Intelligence From Portugal,
was forwarded to Morgenthau in a
Dec. 23, 1943, memorandum from
White.
The memo said: "I think you
will be interested in glancing at
the appended information which
has been furnished us by our man
Wood in Lisbon."
Esploaafe System
Inserting this in the record, sub
committee counsel J. G. Sourwine
commented "The interesting thing
here is that by this time, by the!
end of 1943, Mr. White had a world
wide commercial espionage system
reporting to him. This document
is an instance of that"
Asked at the time by Sen. Wei
ker (R-Ida) to "clarify that a little
more, Sourwine said:
Well, this, sir, is a report to
White. . . from one of his subordin
ates by the name of Wood. . .and it
gives what was then a very import
ant and in part highly confidential
information about the commercial
and economic activity in Portu
gal."
Sourwine also put in the record a
Dec. 22. 1943 "report to White
from one of his men, a Mr. Ness,
and here is political rather than
economic intelligence.
"This particular report," Sour
wine said, "concerns the then re
cent coup d etat in Bolivia. It Is
high-level inside dope and indicates
the type of political intelligence
that White had flowing to him at
the end of 1943."

CHICAGO I An education
commission has found the break
down of discipline in the nation's
classrooms to be just about the
teacher's No. 1 problem.
"We in the National Education
Assn. consider the problem of
classroom discipline second only
to the related problems of teach
ers salaries and overcrowded
classrooms," Richard B. Kennan
of Washington, D. C. said Sunday.
Kennan is secretary of the 10
member national commission for
the defense of democracy through
education, which he describes as
the "troubleshooter" for the NEA.
The commission reached its con
clusion on the discipline problem
from a survey made recently of
3,400 "typical" teachers throughout
the nation, he said, and has ob
tained the NEA's approval to:
(1) Make an intensive survey of
10,000 teachers to determine the
causes of this breakdown of disci
pline, its extent and what can be
done about it; and
(2) Hold a series of four to six
regional conferences in which a
psychiatrist, an educator and a so
cial worker would augment the
survey with firsthand knowledge.
Kennan said the dates and loca
tions of the conferences haven't
been decided on but would be held
"in the near future."
The commission also hopes to
enlist the aid of a graduate school
of education to help evaluate the
survey, he said.
Announcing the commissions
findings at a news conference, Ken
nan said the recent general survey
of 3,400 teachers revealed:
(1) Reports of disciplinary break
down have jumped from "negli
gible in a similar survey taken
three years ago to a number that
is indicative of a "major national
trend."
(2) Small towns and rural com
munities are having their share of
unruly students as well as the big
cities.
(3) Teachers feel the cause of
disciplinary breakdown is the same
as the cause of juvenile delinquency.

Hells Canyon
Review Asked
ByNeuberger
WASHINGTON OR Rep. Edith
Green (D-Ore) supported and Rep.
Utt (R-Calif) opposed, in a tele
vised debate Sunday, the construc
tion of a federal high dam in Hells
Canyon on the Snake ' River be
tween Idaho and Oregon.
At the same time Sen. Neuber
ger (D-Ore) urged in a statement
that President Eisenhower include
in his "second look" at th Dixon
Yates contract a "good long sec
ond look" at his administration's
opposition to the Hells Canyon
project. ' iv

She said that as a federal under
aking it would carry on federal
policy of the past 20 years in multi
purpose development of streams.
She said it would provide needed
"electrio power, flood control, navi
gation and recreation.
'Ready, Able'
Utt said the Idaho Power Co. is
: "ready, willing and able" to un
jdertake the power development of
the Snake River with a series of
low level dams and that where
private enterprise could undertake
such development he was for giv
ing them' authority.
He pointed out that the contro
versy over public or private de
velopment of the Snake had been
going on for many years and that
even were the federal project au
thorize it would be at least 18
years before appropriations and
construction would yield the power
sought.
He said Idaho Power could pro
vide about as much energy as the
federal project within 30 months.
Mrs. Green contested Utt's state
ment on the! lack of availability
of money for the federal dam, cit
ing the large sums appropriated
for foreign aid and arguing they
could be spent at home just as
well.
Utt agreed, paying he had voted
against foreign aid bills. He also
pointed out that there are more
than $900,000,000 in authorized fed
eral projects in the Columbia
River Basin area and he favored
catching up on some of these be
fore undertaking Hells Canyon as
a federal project, especially when
private capital could do it quicker. '
'Favors Surrender' j
Neuberger said in his statement
that the President, through his sec-!
retary of the interior, "is commit-
ted to a policy which favors the
surrender of this finest of all
American hydroelectric sites to the 1
Idaho Power Company for piece-!
meal development.
"If Idaho Power's small Brown
lee Dam is permitted to become
the administration's substitute for
multipurpose Hells Canyon dam,
the nation will lose forever an
amount of power potential which.
at present federal wholesale rates,
has a value of approximately 13
million dollars annually.
