JANUARY 28. 1958 Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 6304 In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS One of the most interesting na tional conventions held recently on the Pacific Coast is that of the National School Board Association, which has been in session this week in San Francisco. It has drawn interesting and im portant peoptei including Lawrence Derthick, U.S. commissioner of ed ucation, Charles Shuman, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, Democratic leader Ad- lai Stevenson and numerous high up industrial and labor leaders President Eisenhower sent a per sonal message to the association saying "the progress of our coun try and its constructive influence among the nations of the world de pend upon the steady improvement of American education." A wide range of subjects has Been discussed, mcludine teacher salaries, teacher supply and where to find the money with which to finance America's schools in the coming years of rapid growth of population. One subject that as this is writ ten hasn't been discussed is this: How can we stimulate among our young people of school age MUKrJ imtKEST IN KNOWLEDGE? Not just enough miscellaneous Information, temporarily crammed into the skull, to enable the sin. dent to pass from one school grade io anotner. KNOWLEDGE in the sense of the dictionary definition which reads: "That which is gained and PRESERVED by knowing: enlight enment; learning: also, broad v the sum of information conserved by civilization. The importance of KNOWLEDGE has been recognized by all the great men of ail time. The Bible (Proverbs XXIV. 51 says: A wise man is strong; yea a man of knowledge increaseth strength. Francis Bacon, one of the GREAT thinkers, said: "Knowl edge is POWER." Samuel John son said: "Knowledge is more than equivalent to force." Thomas Hux ley said: "If a little knowledge is dungcrous, where is the man who has so much as to be out of dan ger." . One could go on indefinitely quot ing the great thinkers on the lm portance of knowledge. If we could inspire our young people, from the first grade on up through high school and the1 universities, with a THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE, more or less all the "problems" of education, about which we are hearing so much these days, would disappear.

(AP) Vir ginia's Legislature meets in emer gency session today with pro-seg regation leaders apparently set to go to almost any lengths to pre vent integration of public schools. As the Legislature gathered to hear Gov. J. Lindsay Almond's proposals for continued segrega tion, plans moved forward that could lead to the integration of schools in Norfolk, Charlottesville and Arlington. The last barrier to the operation of desegregated schools in Norfolk apparently was removedlate Tues day when Federal Judge Walter E. Hoffman restrained the city council of the state's largest city from cutting off funds for all grades above the sixth as it had proposed to do Feb. 1. A few hours earlier, Charlottes ville's City Council endorsed the stand of its school board which proposes to operate integrated schools if necessary and said it is '"unthinkable that we should abandon our public school sys tem." School officials in Arlington planned to seek a stay of a Feder al Court order admitting four Ne groes to Stratford Junior High School on Monday. At the same time, the school board moved ahead with plans to operate the school on an integrated basis required. easants Vow To Beat West MOSCOW (UPI)-Russian peas ants pledged themselves at rallies throughout the land today to carry out Premier Nikita Khrushchev's program to outproduce the West and win the world for Communism. Mass meetings at factories and collective farms hailed the seven year economic development plan which Khrushchev laid before the 1st special Communist Party con gress Tuesday, the state radio re ported. They' pledged to over-fulfill their quotas. Khrushchev told the Congress that war can be eliminated by peaceful economic competition. But he warned that the enormous forces of the Communist world can rebuff the Imperialist aggres- sor and crush them if they un leash a new war." He added that Russian intorconlinental missiles are now in mass production. The congress' 1,269 voting dele gates met today inside the Krem un to voice agreement with Khrushchev's boast that: The seven-year plan plus pro duction increases in other Soviet camp nations would bring their output to more than half the world's total. Other countries will see the superiority of Communism and adopt it as the quickest way to industrialization. Then the peace ful triumph of Communism over capitalism will be assured. f UNFAIR 1 '-HOUK LOCAL 7-261 1 !'.' V f t t t ' i i ' .A.' J V.T.CO. Wf r lusoni i Ilk i;... ill ...

U.S. Answers Red's Claim On Missiles WASHINGTON' I AP) President Eisenhower said tod;iv the United Stales is making very remarkable progress in the ballistic missile I '.old and has no cause for h.mc dog humiliation. The President made the state ment al a news conference in commenting on Soviet Premier Nikila Khrushchev's announce ment Tuesday that the Soviet Union has intorconlinental ballis tic missiles in production. In apparent reference to the question of whether Khrushchev was saying the Soviet Union has ICBMs in mass production. Eisen hower said he has no way of knowing just what was in Khrush chev's mind. Somewhat wryly, the President aaaed that we seem very prone to give loo per cent credence to statements by the Soviets if they nappen to aeal with our own dc sires. On the oilier hand. Eisenhower wont on, we dismiss olher Soviet statements as baltlfaccd lies. Without ever saying whether this country has intercontinental missiles at the production stage t-isenhower said that the U. S missile program is going forward as rapidly as possible under the direction of capable scientists. then he said very remarkable progress is being made and that the nation has no cause for any hang dog humiliation. On the contrary, it should be a matter of pride, he said. World Xws In Krit United Press lntcrn.Hion.il rOM.MlNISTS-Mosiow - The1 Communist Party congress meets today in secret.

She complained of being ill and was spitting blood. If convicted of- kidnaping, Mrs. Ortiz can receive a sentence of 20 years to life in prison.

WASHINGTON (UPD Prcsi dent Eisenhower today branded as irresponsible a report of a nil with Chief Justice Earl Warren. He said he felt that if Warren had some criticism of his conduct of the presidency he was capable of telling the President himsell. The question of cool relations between the President and Warren was brought up in the chief ex ecutive's news conference because of a story printed today by the New York Herald Tribune. The question about his relation ship with Warren was prompted by a story by Robert J. Dono van, chief of the Herald Tribune's Washington bureau. Donovan wrote that their relationship to day "is cold and distant and marred by disapproval on both sides." Eisenhower spoke gravely and swiftly when he was asked about it. He said it was well known that he thought a chief executive should not offer his personal opin ions on the actions of the high court and that he knew ot no per sonal rift whatever between him self and Warren.

Chief Cites Effectiveness Of Proqram WASHINGTON (AP)-President Eisenhower today urged Congress 1c enact a 20-point program de signed to eliminate labor-manage ment abuses. In a special message, Eisenhow er called his program a complete and effective approach to the problem. He said it is not a piece meal program. He also declared it is "essential to assure the American public that true, responsible collective bargaining can be carried on with lull protection to the rights and freedoms of workers and with adequate guarantees of the public interest. "These recommendations, when adopted, should do much to elim inate those abuses and improper practices, which, I am firmly con vinced, the American public ex pects and believes will be cor rected through legislative action. he said. Equally important, they will do so without imposing arbitrary restrictions or punitive measures on the legitimate activities of hon est labor and management of- ficals." Some of the changes Eisenhow er proposed were asked by labor unions, others by employers. Eisenhower's recommendations signaled the start of a congres sional battle with sharp political overtones. A bill already introduced by Sen. John F. Kennedy ID-Mass) was termed a half measure by the President Tuesday. In Ins message, Eisenhower proposed tightening Taft-Hartley bans against certain forms of picketing and secondary boycotts matters not included in Ken nedy's bill. Getting in ahead ot the Presi dent, an AFL-CIO spokesman told Congress today that such picket ing and boycott proposals would endanger passage of any labor bill this session. The AFL-CIO made it clear it would fight any new picketing and boycott bans. Andrew J. Biemiller, AFL-CIO legislative representative, outlined lhat stand before a Senate Labor subcommittee an hour and a halt ahead of the presidential message. The President s recommenda tions generally, however, were along' the lines believed accept able to labor. In fact, he offered one surprise a Taft-Hartley law change designed to speed up un ion representation elections. - This would make it somewhat easier for unions to obtain bargaining rights from employers.

AF Rres Atlas ICBM CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) A huge Atlas ICBM has been masted on a mysterious space tnght over the Atlantic. The 80-foot rocket performed as it never has before when it shot across the black sky Tuesday night alter a beautiful launching The mission on this 19th Atlas test reportedly was another 4,000 mile trip winding up in minutes beyond the island of Fernando de Norhona far off the Brazil coast. The three mighty engines of the missile appeared to burn furiously lor more than B'-i minutes, much longer than on previous flights. The rocket skipped behind some clouds and then seemed to hang in the sky like a small star. At first there was speculation Ihe latest blastoff signaled another shoot similar to last month s At las satellite But there still was no definite report on the results of the test hours later. On previous firings the bulky in tercontinental range missile burned no longer than 3i minutes before starting its ballistic trajec lory even Ihe "Big A" that soared into a 35-day orbit around the globe Dec. 18.

Dulles said there is nothing the United States w.ill not do includ ing a summit meeting witn tne Soviets if it holds a reasonable prospect of promoting peace. But he warned against any agreement between the two top world powers "which would give many unwary people a sense of relief, and a feeling that our na tion need no longer make the ef forts and sacrifices that are now called for." "The Soviet government has. for a long time,-been trying to get that result," Dulles said. It is, however, my deep con viction that the cold war cannot be ended in any such way and that to take that step would mere ly make it probable that the cold war would end in victory for in ternational communism." : i , - , ' AN OVERHEATED STOVE was blamed for the (ire late Tuesday night Vhich destroyed lis cabin.
