The lead article in the Sep
tember Atlantic Monthly, "The
Crisis in Teaching" by Prof. Oscar
Handlin of Harvard I'mversity
has attracted considerable atten
tion. Its content is not particularly
novel. It recounts the lack of
teachers, especially of qualified
teachers, and points out some of :
the disadvantages which teachers
labor under: low salaries, inferior
social status, lack of opportunity.
The author suggests some emerg
ency measures, but bears down
on this:
"Moat Important of all. wa need a
nw attitude toward the teacher, whn

In a democratic aoctety. Only If we

Driver Tests
Require Luck
And Courage
After 12 years' experience with
thrill driving, 0. P. Driggs of Sa
lem is retiring today, not much the
worse for wear.
Driggs. 919 Market St.. has had
his thrills in Salem as a driver's
license examiner with the State
Department of Motor Vehicles.
"On some of these drive tests,"
said 67-year-old Driggs Thursday,
"about the only thing you can do
is hold on tight and hope you get
back to the office in one piece."
Alma-it Meets Engine
That's what he did one day this
week when a woman driver, look
ing neither right nor left and ig-
i noring the warning bell of a switch
j engine, managed to clear an on-
i coming locomotive by a matter of
: feet.
Not all Driggs' work has been
harrowing, but its been lively
right along. And in the course of
it he's developed one real peeve
about driver applicants who bring
their dogs along with them.
Dogs Disconcerting
"It's disconcerting," he says, "to
be giving a drive test and sud
denly have a dog leap up on the
back of your seat and start scrub
bing your neck and ears."
Not only dogs, either. A fellow
examiner once had an applicant
with a pet pig in the car oinking
his way through traffic.

Eisenhower
Offers Defense
Of Brother
WASHINGTON. Sept.. V (
President Eisenhower spoke up
sharply in defense of bis brother
Milton today and said it was the
Democrats who gave financial aid
to ex-Dictator Juan Peron of Ar
gentina.
No U.S. money went to Ar
gentine after he took office, Ei
senhower said, until after Peron
had been overthrown and driven
into exile.
The President spoke out at
news conference when asked how
he felt about the "propriety" of
the opposition bringing his brother
into the campaign.
Adlai Stevenson said In a speech
at Miami Tuesday night that the
Eisenhower administration had
"appeased" the Peron regime.
The Democratic presidential nom
inee added that "a member of
the President's personal family
assumed special, if informal, re
sponsibility for our relationships
with Argentina." An aide said
Stevenson referred to Milton Ei
senhower.
Dr. Milton Eisenhower visited
Peron and other Latin-American
heads of state in 1953 as a rep
resentative of President Eise
hower.
The President told his news con
ference: 1. It was the Truman adminis
tration in 1950-51 that loaned 130
million dollars to Peron. After he
took office, Eisenhower said, Per
on got nothing from this country,
2. Not until after Peron had been
replaced by a new regime did the
United States authorize a 160-mil-
lion-dollar credit to help Argentina
establish a steel industry.
3. Dr. Eisenhower never had a
hand in making foreign policy -arid
acted only at the request of and
through the State Department.

Wage Boosts 'Offset'
Higher Cost of Food
By MAXINE Bt'REN
Woman's Editor, The Statesman
NEW YORK, Sept. 27 Regardless of high cost of foods now,
. research has shown that wage boosts have made working hours
of about equal value in food buying. This was the comment of
John A. Logan, president of the National Association of Food
Chains, when he spoke Thursday to the National Food Editors
Conference here.
"In 116 milk was 9 cents a quart, which represented 21 minutes
of work," pointed out Logan. Ho compared this with the seven
minutes required to pay for the same milk in these times.
"It took 1 'i hours work to buy a dozen eggs in former years,"
said Logan. "It takes 17 minutes today."
The Association of Food Chains announced results nf a contest
"The Search" for old grocery lists as a kickoff for the 40th anni
versary of birth of self-service groceries. The contest was a source
of information on trends in shopping habits.
Most Food Stores Self Service
Logan said that now almost 90 per cent of food store sales art
aelf-service.
The National Canners Association demonstrated length of time
a girl used in canning pint of corn and declared that if homemakers
- of America canned one year's pack of corn alone, it would take
60.5 million working days.
Noon lunch featured wild game, in decor and menu as served
by the National Brewers' Foundation. Decorations included autumn
leaves, stuffed birds, brass appointments and napkins in bird de
signs on cotton. Menu began with essence of pheasant with herbs
as soup, dandelion' greens salad, roast pheasant breasts and ended
with green gage plum sherbet.
Danish after-theater buffet included surprises and presence of
Corps De Ballet and the dance director, manager and conductor
of the Royal Danish Ballet, which the food editors taw perform as
guests of the Danish Travel Bureau.

Two food editors from Massachusetts were winners In the
