White House Session
On Education Winds Up
On Discordant Note
, WASHINGTON (UP) The White
House Conference on Education
closed on one discordant note.
Some delegates complained that
the educators took over and mis
represented the majority view on
federal aid to education.
Thi;
is complaint was expressed;
privately by many opponents and
lukewarm advocates of federal aid.
It was expressed openly by the
delegations from Texas, Utah and
$evada.
Their complaints were directed
at a final report of the conference
which found that the delegates by
more than a two to one margin
favored increased federal aid to
schools.
The report does not accurately
reuect the view of the majority,
the dissenters said, but is a mis
representation drafted by profes
sional educators who favor federal
aid. The claim of the dissenters
"was that many of the delegates
nedged their support of federal aid
"with several conditions which were
glossed over in the final report.
No Vote Taken

conference lined up on federal aid
Conant Raps
Attitude Taken,
By E. Germans
BERLIN (UP) U.S. Ambassa
dor James B. Conant said today
the United States will stav In
. Berlin and hold the Russians re
sponsible lor. their sector of the
city despite East German defiance
. of occupation regulations. . - -
Conant told a news conference
In the divided city that the Un'ted
States will "continue to hold the
Soviets responsible for the proper
treatment of U.S. nationals."
He said he traveled to Berlin
from the Embassy at Bonn yester
day "to give visible proof of the
continuing Interest of the United
States government in the welfare
of this brave and important city."
Protests Delivered
The ambassador said his pres
ence in Berlin "further underlines"
U.S. determination to remain in
the city, a stand which was set
forth in a stiff note Conant pre
sented to Soviet Ambassador G.
M. Puskin yesterday.
The note, similar in tone to notes
presented by Britain and France,
reaffirmed four power occupadon
of the entire city. It denied East
German claims to control of the
city by virtue of their "sovereign
ty" by Insisting that Russia still is
responsible for control of the East
ern sector.
Conant served notice today that
the United States would not deal
with the East Germans.

to education is certain to be re
sumed when Congress starts con
sidering school legislation next
year. But there never will be a
conclusive answer since the dele
gates did not take a vote on the
question.
The report ran into objections
immediately when it was presented
to the conference last night,
The Nevada delegation protested
and called for a "re-evaluation''
of the reports.
The Texas delegation entered a
dissent saying it was "unalterably
opposed to federal aid to public
schools.
Dr. Ernest L. Wilkinson, presi
dent of Brigham Young University
in Utah, objected that the confer
ences procedures were "unfair"
and resulted in "misrepresenta
tions." Says Result Stacked
Adam S. Bonn ion of Utah, an
outspoken opponent of federal aid,
complained that the educators
took over the position of responsi
bility as the discussion proceeded
up through the series, of round
tahles.
The result was as if the con
ference had been stacked," Bcn-
nion said.
"There is no question but that
the professional champions of fed
eral aid took over," Wilkinson said.
The two educators who drafted
the final report defended their con-i
elusions on the majority will. '
Dr. Edgar Fuller, executive sec
retary of the Council of Chief Stale
School Officers, said the educators
took over" in the roundtable dis
cussions "only when the delegates
wanted us to.
Mrs. Pearl A. Wanamaker, su
perintendent of public instruction
in Washington Slate, assured the
delegates that the report was not
something she -and Fuller "made
up but is. a compilation of your
very best thinking.

Formal Action
By Two Unions
Due on Monday
NEW YORK (UP) The CIO's
17th constitutional convention today
approved almost unanimously the
merger of its five million member?
with the AKL, setting up the most
powerful labor group in the na
tion's history.
One of the few dissenting vots
came from Michael J. Quill. hnd
of the CIO Transport Workers'
Union. In an impassioned 15
minute address to the convention.
he charged that the merger pro
vided no safeguards against the
three Rs of unionism, racism.
raiding and racketeering.
The conventions action cleared
the way -for the formal merging of
the two groups Monday at their
first joint meeting in the 71st Reg
1 mental Armory here. It will bring
together under one man. George
Meany, now president of the AFL.
a labor group of almost 16 million
members.
The AFL, meeting only three
blocks away from Manhattan Cen
ter, site of Hie CIO convention
approved the merger agreem-fnts
yesterday. It was busy today con
cluding its two-day convention by
approving a number of resolutions
chief of which was one ousting the
Airline Pilots Association from
membership. The AFL had
charged the pilots with "strike

vote without debate.
In a strictly business-like opera
tion, the AFL, which will unite with
the CIO Monday, gave its unani
mous approval to the merger
yesterday.
In a more flamboyant mood, the
CIO devoted the first day of its
two-day convention to a speech by
its fiery president, Walter Reumer,
a pageant starring actor Melvyn
Douglas, and a multitude of
speeches by CIO officials who,
oraised the 20-year history of the
organization.
The convention, being held si
multaneously with that of the AFL.
was expected to approve the mer
ger resolution with little lanrare.
Then both conventions will write
their organizations out of existence
and meet Monday in an historic
huddle that will merge their al
most 16 million members into the
greatest labor group the nation
ever has known.

Curtice and his top aides' forced
