$2 Million fo Beat
Taft Is Labor's Aim
Los Angeles, Feb. 11 W.
America's two big labor feder
ations will spend $2,000,000 in
an attempt to defeat Sen. Rob
ert A. Taft, (R., O.), in his re
election campaign, but they will
not succeed, a former treasurer
of the republican party said to
day.
James S. Kemper, who re
signed as GOP treasurer last
year, told a press conference
that the CIO and AFL political
fund drives will collect a total
of $6,000,000 and spend at least
one-third of it to try to defeat
Taft, co-author of the Taft-Hartley
law.
"But they will not succeed,'
he said. "Taft will win."
As for the republicans, Kemp
er said they should raise a war
chest of at least $2,000,000 for
the 1950 congressional cam
paigns.
Kemper, board chairman of
Lumbermen's Mutual Casualty
Co. and president of the Kemp
er Insurance group, is here to
confer with officials of the In
ter-American council of com
merce and production, of which
he is president.

Ban Silk and Nylon
Undies for Nurses
Atlanta, Feb. 11 Vft A couple
of fire underwriters noted to
day that certain types of nurses'
underwear can be dangerously
electrifying.
The two, B. I. Simpson and
Gerald E. Abbott of Southeast
ern Underwriters, found that
for operating room purposes
silk and nylon were out.
These materials, they found
after an inspection trip to
Emory university, had been
barred because they sometimes
generate static electricity sparks
which might set off an explo
sion among the gases used for
anesthetics.
Cotton, they said, was found
to be best since it produced no
sparking.
next fall.
Wayne N, Jordan, newly ap
pointed principal ot Central
igh school, and his wife at
tended the meeting and were
introduced to the assembly.
Members of the panel gave in
formal talks explaining in gen
eral what a modern high school
should offer. Later in the eve
ning a question period turned
the discussion to mose specific
topics.
It was pointed out by Dr Ju
lio Bartolozzo, principal of Jef
ferson high school of Portland,
that since only about 20 percent
of today's high school graduates
go to college, the trend is now
way from college preparatory
subjects, and toward preparing
them through vocational train
ing and other subjects for their
life as citizens. Therefore, he
stated, that preparation for citi
zenship, vocational training, pro
viding a good guidance program
nd maintenance of good health
and physical fitness should be the
primary aims of a modem high
school.
Guidance Held Necessary
The necessity of a guidance
program was emphasized by
Ray W, Hardman, principal of
Corvallis high school This pro
gram should direct the student
toward that field for which his
tptitudes best fit him. All
speakers were in favor of
follow-up program to study how
well the student does after fin
ishing high school.
Mrs. Mary State, dean of girls
of Corvallis high school, stated
hat she thought the curriculum
hould be flexible enough that
every student could be given
some work which hp could do
well. In this way a student
whose aptitude for mental
study is poor, could be given
work whose principal requisite
is hand skill, at which he might
be talented.
Concrete proposals were of
fered by Dr. Wendell Van Loan
superintendent of Corvallis
schools, in regard to setting ur
a course of study at the new Cen
tral high school. He said he
thought it best to hire the tea
chers now, and have tnem under
contract early in the summer,
not later than July 1 He said
they should come and work with
the principal and superintendent
in mapping a program for next
fall. Assistance and advice
would be available from special
ists of the State Department of
Education, whom he thought
would give considerable time to
the project. If the opening of
school next fall is to go smooth
ly, he thought having the teach
ers here early is an absolute nec
essity.
Consolidations Popular
Van Loan is in favor of ex
panding the subject matter of
present course rather than
panding the number of courses.
Supervisor of secondary edu
cation in the state department of
education, Dick Sorick, stated
that his agency favored the
marriage" of high school dis
tricts. Thus far, there have been
24 consolidations made in the
state of Oregon and the people
affected seem to be happy with
the results. At least none has
asked for a "divorce".
It was thought quite possible
that Central high school would
be able to offer night classes for
adults. State financial aid is
available for such courses and
he pointed to Corvallis as an
example of the success of such
programs. There, they have near
ly as many adults enrolled in
night school as are enrolled in
high school.

Fairfield, Calif., Feb. 11 W
The chiefs of staff of the

from a survey of the Orient.
The big Constellation plane

vice, landed at the Fairfield-
Suisun airbase at 8:15 a. m.

The chiefs of staff were to

The party included Maj. Gen

obviously the best dressed man

says he isn't just doesn't know a
hctland tweed from a herring
bone worsted.
The secretary's taylor, a mild
man named Aiuert tserman, is
manager of Farnsworth Reed
Ltd. firm which has been
tailoring the Acheson wardrobe
for years.
Berman's professional pride
has been wounded deeply. The
Custom Tailors Guild, Inc. not
only chose Gen. Dwight D. Eis
enhower over Acheson (last
year's winner) as the "best dress
ed man m public life," but it
went further it rapped the sec
retary for "overdressing."
"My gosh!" sputtered Her
man, "the secretary has never
selected a suit louder than
mild-toned plaid. Why, why
he's very discriminating and
such a geneleman, a perfect size
42." Berman paused and added;
"Of course, it may have been
due to a suit he had made pre
viously by another tailor.
Stanley Woodward the state
department's protocol chief a
very natty dresser himself va
guely remembers a green, white
and orange tie that may be to
blame.
But that certainly wasn't near
ly as bad as a tie that former
Under-secretary of State Robert
Lovett wore. That had scantily-
clad hula girls painted on it.
In all my association with
him," said Woodward, "the sec
retary has been perfection it
self in the clothing department."
Another stout defense of Ach
eson s wardrobe came from Mrs.
Mary Butler, the pretty recep
tionist who greets his daily vis-
mittee has likewise completed
the industries questionaire, as
has Mrs. Martha Counsel's home

Douglas Waddell, chairman,
will preside at the trades and in
dustries session on February 20.
Approximately 20 committee
men are expected for the final
conference to approve question-
aires and complete plans for
launching the survey in their
field.
Present at Thursday's meeting
were Chairman Jack Stolsig,
Roy Weeks, Bob Johnson, Doug
las Waddell, Delmar Clem, Oli
ver Larson and A, A. Dodds,
itors from her desk in the sec
retary's outer office.
There's only on diplomat
town who gives him any com
petition at all in sartorial ele
gance, she said, and she's not
naming him for fear it may
cause international repercus
sions.
Mrs. Butler said the secretary
dressed so conservatively yes
terday that she can't remember
what he wore. "That ought to
take care of that 'overdressing'
crack." she said triumphantly.
Acheson's chief aide, Lucius
Battle, told a reporter he's sure
the secretary doesn't know ye)
about being dethroned by Gen
erai fcisennower. Acheson is
wading through his daily crises
on the cold war front just as ii
nothing has happened. Battle
said, adding:
"Maybe I should tell him. He
didn't know he had teen selec-
iea as me nest-dressed last year
until six months after it hap
