Editorial and Features
Democratic Family Row
The Democratic party seems bound to
feel some effects nationally from an event
which occurred in the thick of battle at
the party's recent state nominating con-
vention in New York.
The incident was the bitter wrangle
ovfcr a choice for U. S. senator, finally re-
solved in favor of Manhattan District At-
torney Frank Hogan.
The contenders in the affair were Gov.
Averell Harriman and New York’s Mayor
Robert Wagner on the one side, and Tam-
many chief Carmine De Sapio and other
New York City and county leaders on the
other.
Hogan’s nomination was a smashing
victory foY De Sapio over Harriman and
Wagner, who favored candidates consid-
ered more liberal than Hogan. Neither
the governor nor the mayor sought to con-
ceal the fact they had lost this important
engagement. ^
To begin with, this creates a rift which
a good many in the New York party — a
powerful segment of the national organi-
zation—say may not be healed for a long
time. Republicans already have started to
exploit the issue with the old cry of “boss
domination.”
This situation alone automatically has
national result because of New York’s im-
portance. Rut there is another factor. *
Normally, in either party, a governor
of a big state who has just been chosen
to run for a second term if riding high in
full command. It is he who calls the turn,
and m> other. He holds the whip hand of
patronage, and can apply other punitive
leverage against those who buck him.
In this instance. Harriman. chief exec-
utive of the nation’s most populous state,
found he could not exercise that power—
even though backed by the twice-elected
mayor of the country’s biggest city.
Unless he hereafter takes not one but
many steps to re-establish his mastery,
political observers believe his prestige and
influence both within his state and na-
tionally will be seriously weakened. *
Though still given the odds in his hid
for re-election, the governor’s chances
may have been somewhat tarnished. Even
if he makes it all right, damage wilf have
been done to any lingering hopes he holds
for a presidential nomination on a third
try in I960.
P.eyond this. New York’s voice in Dem-
ocratic councils may prove to be confus-
ed and, muffled. And that would be a
strange situation for a state so accustomed
to political eminence.
do not know how to answer. 'Don’t brush the child
off but go look it up. A good child’s encyclope-
dia is almost as necessary as a kitchen store and
a lot more necessary than an expensive, electric
gadget. Why do leaves turn red and yellow in the

If you are the kind of person who enjoys
finding out about new fields you will quite nat-
urally talk about a wide variety of topics at home.
Y'ou will show your children by example that
reading is fun, that there is always something
new and interesting to find out about. The more
you talk at home the better will be your chil-
dren’s vocabulary. Knowing plenty of words is
always a great help. You can express yourself
accurately and your children will be able to read
and understand a far greater range of material if
they know what the words mean.
Y'our child will learn much from you during
his middle years—those open-eyed, ope^-eared
years. ^He can learn that acquiring knowledge is
vital and exciting. He could learn of course that
it's all a farce and the less you read and know
about the world the better. He car. learn simply
to muddle through life or he can learn that this
thing called “reasoning’' that makes him differ
ent from his dog and also makes the difference
between real living and just existing.

We can say that he knows the mind of Christ?
The mind of Christ is both illusive and obvious,
discursive and fixed, profound and simple. On
occasions Jesus revealed the intuitive responsive-
ness of the poet—“Consider the lilies of the field."
At other times he betrayed the full-sounded won-
der of the mystic. One of the recorded requests
of the disciples was their eager desire to know
how to pray the way Jesus prayed. In other
places we see that the mind of Christ was that of
a radical and impatient prophet, exposing injus-
tice, destroyig old traditions grown meaningless
with age, thrusting the lancet of the spoken word
into the quick of man's prejudice. And every-
where in the gospels you see that His mind was
that of the sensitive humanitarian, whose largest
concern was with men, women and children, the
sons and daughters of God.
No one can say that he knows fully this mind
of Christ. Yet, what disciple can do other than
strive to understand it?The Rev. Ray W. Wallace,

school to be taught by experts, by people who

exciting still to be able to share these discoveries

Austin — How best to educate
Texas children — and how to
pay for it — will be a key issue
in the upcoming legislative ses-
sion.
Problems were spotlighted
when the Hale-Aikin Committee
made its first report. Included
were 12 recommendations for im-
provement or expansion of public
education.
Several proposals reflect the
concerns of the times. In an age
of mounting traffic death tolls
and almost universal availability
of high-speed cars to teen-agers,
state supported driver education
was urged. In the face of wide-
spread reports of the superiority
of educational systems in other
countries, the committee recom-
mended staite aid for classes for
the "academically gifted/’ It also
proposed increasing the school
year from a minimum 175 days to
180 plus five days for teacher
training.
Other proposals were to pro-
vide state support for (1) more
rincipals, (2) assistant superin-
tendents in large districts, (3)
pre-school teaching of children
unable to speak English, (4) larg-
er allowances for maintenance,
(5) replacing school buses and
paying drivers (6) buses for city
children living more than two
miles from school, and (7) state
and local guidance services.
It also suggested teacher-pupil
ratios on current attendance
rather than figures for the year
before and urged the setting aside
of TV channels for future educa-
tional use.
Final decision on other recom-
mendations were postponed until
Sept. 15. These include raising
the minimum pay for. teachers
5595 a year (from 53205 to
53800) and releasing state prop-
erty taxes to allow for more local
district collections.
Hale-Aikin Committee is a 24-
member study group of lawmak-
ers and private citizens set up by
the last legislature to study public
schools and make recommenda-
tions to the 1959 session. Grass-
roots discussion has been going
on for nearly a year in cities and
counties over the state. Proposals
being made now result from sift-
ing and weighing of hundreds of
ideas urged by educators and in-
terested citizens. ,

* EDS0N IN WASHINGTON *
Pile of 200 Bills Haunt*
Eisenhower on Vacation
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Cor/eepondent
Washington—(NEA)—The concensus is that’s its a good thing
President Eisenhower is getting away on vacation.
This year has been a long, *lar<* e*fht months, with a hostile
Congress, yaking et him all the time.
It will do him good to get out of Washington for a month, even
if it isn’t to take things easy.
He won’t be able to get away from work. As he told his last
press conference before taking off. he had some 200 bills to examine.
They were passed by Congress in the final rush. Just to read them,
let alone understand them, might take a month.
Such stuff Isn’t exactly Mght vacation reading.
All the research and checking on these new lsws will he done
by the working staff left in Washington to sweat them out. They
will be flown up to Newport with recommendations to sign or not
to sign. Only a few will require deep study.
But there will be plenty of troubles in the nation and the rest
of the world to keep the long distance wires, the cables and the
shuttle plsnes and couriers hot. and to call Ike off the golf course.
Arkansas, Formosa, Middle East, Supreme Court, Virginia, Rus-
sia, integration, segregation, atom tests and atoms for peace, United
Nations—Russia — missiles, moon shots, how to cut next year’s bud-
get, how to get the Marines out of Lebanon—Russia,
Also, there’s politics, beginning with the Maine election Sept.
The President will have all of September to decide how active
he’ll be in the campaign in October.
The President seemed relaxed and happy enough at his last
press conference. He smiled and got a big laugh when Andy Tully
asked him about the Washington ball club “threatening or promis-
ing” to leave town.
The President didn’t even blow his top when 'he was asked if it
was true—as Newsweek’s gossip column reported—that he had told
friends in private that integration should proceed more slowly. The
President made his attitude clear on that without getting mad even
though it was a touchy point.
The President was so relaxed, in fact, that his words rolled out
more uncontrolled torrents of enthusiasm than usual.
For instance, what do you make of this part of an answer to a
question on the attorney general’s brief before the Supreme Court
tional money-spending called for j on Rock appeals case:
by most of the proposals. Cost of I “Now, my own Convictions were expressed succinctly, I think,
the state minimum foundation ' last week when 1 gave you a written one. and I am sure of this:
program for the present school
year is estimated at $349,416,000.
H-A Committee’s “enrichment”
suggestions could add from
550,000,000 to 5160,000,000 to
that figure.
Most lawmakers already arc
feeling financially gloomy because
of a predicted 5140,000,000 gap
between state revenue and cost of
present programs — without any
kind of improvement anywhere.
One committee member sug-
gested that, while all the pro-
posals might not be put into ef-
fect right away, they could serve
as “a pattern for years to come.’’
What, Not How — Greater em-
phasis on what to teach, rather
than how to teach will be reflect-
ed by this year’s college gradu-
ates majoring in education.
A law pasged in 1955 requires
future teachers, beginning with
the 1959 grads, to have 40 per
cent of their credit* in subjects
they will teach, 40 per cent in
“cultural subjects,” 20 per cent
in education courses.
State Board of Education call-
ed attention to this change at its
September meeting.
Board also hit a lick in its un-
relenting battle againat all plans
to dip into principal of the per-
manent school fund for current
that in the general case there is no chance that there will be great
divergencies in between what the attorney general expresses and
what I believe.”
And then, in the final question of the conference, the Presi-
dent was asked about “the gap” between American and Russian
production of ballistic missiles in the next few years.
The President never did get around to talking about Russian
missile production schedules. But he did deliver this last sentence
before Marvin Arrowsmith said, “Thank you, Mr. President.”—
“So while, if theie is any gap, 1 am certain that our enormous
strength in fine, long-range airplanes is—I say it isn’t a “gap”—It
is—if the rate of development ,is not as rapid as you might see it.
just if you are talking about money won’t do it, in my opinion, the
airplane takes care of that deficiency."
Well, the schools are opening in September—in most states,
that is. And one of the tests for admission might be the ability to .
parse the sentences quoted above.
blind to the liklihood of stiff expenses. Its resolution warned
of possible "tragic consequences.”
Education Commissioner J. W.
Edgar was authorized to prepare
recommendations for Texas parti-
cipation in the newly passed fed-
eral aid to education program.
Texas would be eligible for sortie
$9,000,000 to bolster the training
of teachers, scientists, mathmeti-
cians and other kindred purposes.
Photo Finish — Race for speak-
er of the House seems stalemated
with the liklihood that the win-
ner will not be known until all
150 members convene and vote in
an all-oxits-bsrred showdown.
