Education and School Aid
With school enrollments continuing to mount and
a widely admitted shortage of classrooms, the admin
istration is almost certain to ask for some sort of fed
eral aid to education in the election year 1956. And
the Democrats, controlling Congress, are almost cer
tain to up the Administration's bid.
"' But although a majority of both parties stand for
at least emergency f ederal aid in school construction,
the principle has long been bogged down in debate
over what kind of aid the federal government should
extend to the states. Equally difficult to resolve is the
controversy over segregation in the schools aided.
DRESIDENT Eisenhower in a special message of
r Feb. 8 cited a "deficit of more than 300,000 class
rooms." He proposed the authorization of $750,000,
000 for federal purchase of bonds of school districts
not able to sell them in the open market at reasonable
interest rates. The President also recommended a
federal lease-purchase plan to guarantee bond issues
of special authorities financing school building for
communities unable to borrow.
The House Education and Labor Committee on
July 22 favorably reported a bill that embodied the
President's chief recommendations. To these, the com
mittee added a Democratic
eral school-construction grants to the states at the
rate of $400,000,000 a year for four years on a dollar-matching
basis. But the House bill remained tied
up in the Rules Committee at the end of the' session,
and a similar Senate bill failed to reach the floor.
The House Education
to 10, an amendment by
(D-N.Y.) that would have
state or scnool district practicing racial segregation.
The Senate bill had been similarly jeopardized by the
threat of an anti-segregation amendment, which Sen.
Irving M. Ives (R-N.Y.) and Sen. George H. Bender
(R-Ohio) had predicted.
THE first federal aid to education bill was introduc
ed as long ago as 1919. A bill was on the point of
passage in the Senate in 1943, but was shelved after
adoption of an anti-segregation amendment. The late
Senator Taft, chairman of the Senate and Public Wel
fare Committee in 1948, tried to reduce opposition to
federal aid by a compromise on aid to religious
schools. Then Senate passed the bill by a vote of 58
to 22, after tabling an anti-segregation amendment,
65 to 7. In 1949, Northern "liberals" teamed with
Southern Democrats to vote down an anti-segregation
amendment to a similar bill, 65 to 16.
One problem in federal
crenancv m estimates of
Office of Education in 1953 told committees of Con
gressthat 370,000 additional classrooms were cur
rently needed; that 720,000
succeeding five years.
Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby,
Education and Welfare, testified on Mar. 29 last.that
"nlanned requirements" indicated a shortage of 176,
000 rooms by 1960. The U.S. Office of Education on
Aug. 27 reported a classroom shortage of more than
250,000 rooms in the coming school year, although a
record 60,000 new rooms had been built since last
fall. E.R.R.
Political TV in '56
Even though each political party is uncertain
about who its 1956 presidential nominee will be, and
whether he promises to be good or terrible on TV,
each is already beginning to buy up TV time for Sep
tember and October, 1956. Otherwise, it would either
(a) lose time it will want or (b) have to shell out a
bonus for it the Republicans are supposed to have
paid an indemnity of $70,000 in 1952 to get time on
the air that had been reserved for Milton Bene.
THESE advance financial
1 turn help to determine the preferences of the re
spective party chairmen for the presidential nomina
tion. With money to be raised to meet heavy obliga
tions already incurred, national headquarters would
be happy with a candidate
easy, unhappy with one who d make it difficult.
TV, now available to nine out of every 10 Ameri
can families, has an increasingly powerful political
impact. Any candidate not
under a heavy handicap, yet it is costly when so used.
So proposals are being advanced for Congress to as
sure equal time on the air for all major candidates,
with the Government picking up the tab.
OOWEVER, that would leave out in the cold the
host of minor candidates who, after all, have a
right to their day in court. Or if the time assigned was
based on voting strength last election, that would pen
alize political groups and candidates just beginning
to make their mark, if not effectively stifle new ones.
In any event, TV has already changed types of
candidates and campaigning, and will do so even
more in 1956. Long-winded, emotional, platitudinous
Senator Claghorns and Senator Sorghums give way
to the unpretentious, chatty character who speaks
a five-minute piece informally. Indeed, the networks
are said to.be planning to' sell to political candidates
in 1956 five-minute, three-minute or even one-minute
periods in the midst of popular programs. E.R.R.

Today and
By Walter
The Immobilized West
The most comforting thing
can find to say, after a few
weeks in Europe on the eve of
the Geneva
conference, is
that the West
does not need
to be so weak
as it looks.
Our primary
trouble is not
that the Soviet
Union has very
strong cards
Walter Lippmann
and that we
have no strong cards. It is that
for internal political reasons the
Western governments are at this
time unable to play their cards
with confidence and conviction.
The summit meeting at Ge
neva in July was a public recog
nition by both sides that they
could not use thermo-nuclear
war or the threat of it to settle
the struggle between them. This
did not mean that the struggle
was over. It meant that the
struggle would become a diplo
matic contest.
In this contest the Soviet Un
ion has since the summer shown
a greater capacity for maneuver,
for liquidating liabilities and for
new initiatives. The four West
ern governments, Bonn, Paris,
London and Washington have,
on the eother hand, remained
frozen and immobile in all their
pre-Geneva positions. Moscow
has been acting while the West
ern governments have been re
acting and reacting in the main
not by actions of their own but
by complaining. They have done
nothing comparable in its weight
and scope with the Soviet's gam
bit m Austria, with the Soviet's
appeasement of Tito, with the
Soviet's establishment of diplo
matic relations with the two
Germanies, with the Soviet's in
cursion behind the Western po
litical front into Egypt.
rpHE innocent public may have
-been led to believe that the
Geneva accord to renounce nu
clear war was a kind of under
standing that the Soviet Union
was going henceforth to accept
our terms for a settlement of
the cold war. But no one in the
know ever had the slightest rea
son for thinking that this would
happen. The Geneva accord did
not mean that we were going to
have our own way. It meant
that the great powers might be
able to negotiate and strike bar
gains, and that unless they did
this successfully, they might lose
control of the problems they
were supposed to solve.
For this kind of maneuvering
governments have to be suffi
ciently sure of themselves at
home to be flexible and responsi
ble abroad. Governments that
are unsure of themselves are
usually able to be firm only if
They become immobile unable
to move lest they appear to be
retreating. It is the immobility

of the Western governments, not
the inherent weakness of the
Western position in the world,
that makes the prospects so dark
in Central Europe, in North Af
rica and in the Middle East.
Thus in Germany we are im
mobilized upon a policy that not
even the Germans, much less the
Soviets, can be counted upon to
believe in to the end. In the re
lations of the West with the Mos
lem upheaval, which extends
from the Atlantic Ocean to the
borders of India, there is the
greatest reluctance to do any
thing new for fear of losing
something old.
rpHE West Germans are immo
bilized by Dr. Adenauer's ill
ness and by the fact that, like
Eisenhower, he has no recog
nized successor who can be
counted upon to carry out his
policy. There is, in fact, every
reason to think, as Moscow most
certainly does think, that Ade
nauer's successor will not stand
upon, that he will negotiate
about, the terms that the West
is proposing at Geneva. Our po
sition at Geneva is inspired pri
marily by loyalty to Dr. Ade
nauer, by a determination not
to concede anything which might
be construed in Germany as
rocking Dr. Adenauer's boat. If
we concede an inch, we fear that
Dr. Adenauer's German oppon
ents will be encouraged to con
cede a yard. So in Germany the
West is immobilized and unable
to put itself in a position to ne
gotiate. The trouble with this position
is that in the not so very long
run it will alienate us from the
Germans who mean, if they
they must, to negotiate for, re
unification directly with the So
viet Union and the East Ger
mans. Our problem in Germany
is how to overcome the immo
bility of our policy. This means
that we must find a way to take
a position about Germany that
the Germans at least will regard
as genuinely negotiable.
..
rpHE French are immobilized
by the crisis in North Africa
which has posed the question of
whether the French have a gov
ernment that can take decisions
and have them carried out by its
own Generals and officials.
France has the primary respon
sibility for the relations between
the Western world and the
Arabs of Morocco, Algeria, and
Tunisia. The outcome depends
upon what is in essence a con
stitutional crisis within France.
For unless there is a French gov
ernment that can govern, there
is no prospect of a settlement in
North Africa..
The British do have a govern
ment that governs. But they have
a new Foreign Secretary. They
are having a recurrence of their
old money troubles. As they do
not feel strong in the outer
world, they are not in the mood
for the kind of brilliant initiative
which Anthony Eden showed in
his last years at the Foreign Of
fice.
Here, the President reigns but
does not govern, and, in addi
tion, we are facing an election.
Mr. Dulles has the President's
confidence. He cannot have the
President's authority, which is a
non-transferable attribute. He
cannot, therefore, initiate new
policies with a certainty that he
will have the support of the
country. The safest and one
might add the inevitable thing
is to go on saying what was said
before the President fell ill. Thus
the strongest member of the
Western coalition is in a large
measure immobilized.
rFHE picture is not pretty. But
only a false reporter could
prettify it. The West's real pol
icy for the time being is to hold
on, to blunt the Soviet initiative
and to rlav for timp tn amiH
letting our hands be forced until
tne governments again fppl
strong enough to think flexibly
and to act firmly.

Asks Morse Reelection
To the Editor: I wish to ad
dress this letter to the great, and
good people of Oregon. I know
that you are great, and good, be
cause I have visited your beauti
ful State.
My subject is about an indi
vidual who is up for reelection
to public office in your State
next year. I am a Republican,
and this is going to be an appeal
for a "Democrat." This isn't what
many would term correct polit
ical ethics on my part. But I am
not appealing for a "Democrat"
in the sense as I know it, in this
case. I am appealing for an
American, to be reelected to the
United States Senate next year
by you people of Oregon.
I sincerely believe you Ore
gonians are very fortunate to
have Wayne Morse as a member
of your Congressional delega
tion. Well, ... I know there are
many Republicans who will not
agree with me. Wayne Morse is
an American, and an American
first. He is an individual who,
regardless of party affiliation,
says what he . thinks, and does
what he believes is in the best
interest of his State,, and espe
cially his nation. He stands by
his convictions regardless of out
side pressures, which is more
than I can say for many people
in my party. He has the "guts"
to be an individual, and believe
me it has been individuals made
of the same constitution who
have, made this country what it
is today. It takes conviction to
break your old political ties, and
it takes courage to stand up in
the U.S. Senate, time after time,
and voice your opinion against a
sometimes hopeless majority, be
cause you believe it right, and in
the best interests of not only the
people of Oregon, but my South
Dakota too, and the Nation.
The united States hangs pre
cariously in the balance between
peace and war. Never before in
history have we needed to be
so cautious and perceiving. We
must not take drastic action
without first analyzing the con
sequences. I would feel a lot
safer and secure if Senator
Wayne Morse were there as the
stabilizer he is, and has been
in the past. I would feel a lot
safer if I knew his voice were
there upholding justice, security,
and above all wisdom in the
field of foreign affairs.
People of Oregon, you couldn't
replace Wayne Morse -with 10
Richard Neubergers or as many
Guy Cordons.
Please reelect him, . . the Na
tion heeds him.

ADLAI, PLUS AND MINUS
Washington In this crucfal
formative period, the Presiden
tial candidacy of Adlai E. Ste

quite develop
ing according
to plan.
Some of the
d i s appoint
ments have
bgen obvious
enough, as in
V5 I t h e South.
j I Stevenson
kfwj, cave a sie-
Josepfc Al mar k ably
large share of
tha last thre years to making
southern friends. The southern
ers were also elaborately wooed
on Stevenson's behalf by the
able former Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee,
Stephen Mitchell.
As recently as a fortnight ago,
there was no doubt in the Ste
venson camp that these efforts
1 3 a n. O
iiau met wiin
solid success.
On the basis
of a talk with
Senator Rich
ard Russell, of
Georgia, La s t
summer, Ste
venson himself
believed that
the immensely
powerful Rus
sell would
pub 1 i c 1 y en
Stewart Alsop
dorse , the Stevenson candidacy
at an appropriate moment. The
support of other southern lead
ers was also confidently counted
on. A massive bloc of 250 south
ern and border state delegates
was the planned key to the Ste
venson convention strategy.
It was a heavy blow, there
fore, when Senator Russell an
nounced that Stevenson was a
bit "too far to the left" for Geor
gia, it was a mow, too, wnen
Senate Majority Leader Lyndon
Johnson of Texas issued a rally
ing call for a southern effort to
impose a "centrist" candidate on
the Democratic party, with the
obvious implication that Adlai
Stevenson was not a centrist,
Over-all, the Stevenson strategy
has plainly run into trouble on
it scrucial southern flank,
Then again, it is pretty plain
that the recent attitude of for
mer President Harry S. Truman
has been another severe disap
pointment to the- Stevenson
camp. Stevenson made no secret
of the wound he felt when Tru
man went to Albany, and there
m-u wem w uuijj-
announced that he wold be for
Averell Harriman for President
if he came from New York. Ste
venson had counted on Truman's
positive sur)port,cand this did not
look like positive support to him.
The relationship between Tru
man and Stevenson has not been
much improved, either, by their
meeting in Chicago a few days
ago. , Both have been close
mouthed about what happened
between them. . .:
"OUT those who know the two
men best are pretty sure that
Truman urged Stevenson to "get
in there and fight" for the nomi
nation; that Stevenson made his
stock lament about fighting fel
low Democrats; and that . Tru
man, always impatient of any
thing savoring of political nice-
nelly-ism, sot a bit peppery
about Stevenson's lack of gusto.
And so Truman, who actually
wanted Stevenson to announce
his candidacy last summer, came
out of the recent meeting with
no warnicpraise for Stevenson to
balance what he had said on Har-
riman's behalf.
Doubt about Truman and
doubt about the South are very
serious and unpleasant new ele
ments in the calculations of the
Stevenson strategists. On the
other hand, the last few days
have also brought clear confirma
tion of Adlai Stevenson's status
as the Democratic front-runner.

One sign was the invitation ol
the Minnesota delegates to enter
their primary, which virtually
read, "come on in and win." An
other is the now-solid commit
ment of Pennsylvania to Steven
son. This came over the week
end, when Pennsylvania's Gov
ernor George M. Leader finally
endorsed the Stevenson candi
dacy without qualification.
Mayor Joseph Clark, of Phila
delphia, Leader's chief political
adviser, James Finnegan, and
the Pittsburgh boss, David Law
rence, all had to work pretty
hard to get Leader to go the
whole hog for Stevenson. Leader
had been listening to the siren
songs of Mayor Clark's oppon
ents in the Philadelphia organi
zation, who are supporters of
Senator Estes Kefauver. But in
the end, Leader was persuaded,
and Pennsylvania can now be
regarded as being solid for Ste
venson in the manner of Illinois.
The question for Stevenson,
then, is whether he can exploit
the grt advantage he now pos
sesses in order to get a real band
wagon going. The possible an
swers to the question are sug
gested, however, by the little
episode of Stevenson's not too
happy meeting with Truman.
As of today, there is very little
doubt that the former President
expects to end by casting his
convention ballot for Stevenson,
despite his greater personal sym
pathy for Averell Harriman. He
has said as much, in fact, to those
closest to him.
AGAIN, the southerners may
growl and grumble and
(maneuver for advantage. Com
mitments to them may have to
be made, to soothe their dis
content. But they would still ra
ther have Stevenson as the Party
candidate than either Harriman
or Kefauver; and they have no
real candidate of their own.
But Truman will not end by
casting his convention ballot for
Stevenson, and the South will
not swing back into line either, if
Stevenson does not begin to show
a real appetite f oP the battle
ahead. Being a practical profes
sional politician, Truman knows
that the Democrats have a hard
fight on their hands this year.
Stevenson has got to prove he is
ready and eager for that fight.
That is why the problem of the
Democratic primaries is the key
problem of the Stevenson can
didacy and a problem that can
not be solved by just going into
tt primaries, iike Minnesota,
