By LEWIS GULICK
WASHINGTON. (—Richard L.
Bowditch, president of the U. S.
Chamber of Commerce, today call-
ed for a stronger school system
and said "nothing must hamper
its freedom of inquiry and dis-
cussion."
“This nation was conceived and
rose to world leadership on the
ideas of nonconformists and free-
wheelers, of men and women of
integrity and wide vision, of in-
dividuals with bold far-reaching
minds, who insisted on crossing
the frontiers of the unknown,"
Bowditch said. "... They dared
to disagree on many things, but
our country and our culture are
infinitely richer and stronger for
their challenge."
‘Our First Defense’
In his “keynote address" pre-
pared for the annual meeting of
the national business group, open-
ing today, Bowditch sai da strong
school system should be America's
“first line of defense against free-
dom-killing communism.”
He said America's objective
“beyond all others” is to “prevent
the outbreak of an all-consuming
World War III.” This requires
spending “unknown billions" for
arms, skilled negotiating and
'above all ... the united effort
of the American people and our
allies," he said.
But Bowditch, a Boston steam-
ship executive, said this country
cannot act as a world leader and
defend itself without the “difficult
ano painful process" of molding
its youth for democratic responsi-
bilities.
Most Precious Subjects
“To our public school teachers |
we turn over the most precious
thing in America,” he said. “But
all too frequently we ask these
teachers to carry on their vital
work in cramped, outmoded physi-
cal plants which we should never
tolerate in our businesses—and at
salaries less than we pay our
secretaries."
Describing education as 'our
first line of defense," he said it
must be given “more money for
more and better schools, and more
money for more and better
teachers.”
Offer on Trieste
Not New, Slav Says
ROME —A source close to the
Italian Foreign Ministry dismissed
as “nothing new” today Marshal
Tito's reported bid to settle the
Yugoslav - Italian dispute over
Trieste.
In London yesterday official
sources said Tito had offered that
Italy have the port of Trieste
and a land corridor from there to
Italian territory.
In return, the sources said,
Yugoslavia wants the rest of Zone
A, now occupied by British and
American troops, special rights in
the port and a privileged statute for
Slovenes in the area coming under
Italian control. There are about
50,000 Slovenes in the Trieste com-
mune.
“There is nothing new in these
reports,” the Rome source said,
“or in any such offer. Tito made
such a bid in 1947.”
He said Italy has heard nothing
of the “offer" officially.

Chicago to See
McCarthy Hearing
CHICAGO, (—The Chicago Sun-
Times and television station
WBKB today announced they will
share expenses of live telecasts
of the remaining McCarthy-Army
hearings “as a public service."
The arrangement calls for the
newspaper to pay a "major por-
tion" of the revenue the station will
lose by dropping regular commer-
cially-sponsored programs. It pre-
vents a threatened TV blackout of
Chicago on the remainder of the
hearings.
The Chicago outlet of the Na-
tional Broadcasting Co., the only
local station which carried the full
hearings during the first two days
had announced it was dropping
the telecasts because of loss of
revenue from regularly sponsored
programs.
