The spade work that has been done should be helpful in renewing attempts { to pass this legislation when Congress reconvenes. { Education Chief (Washington Post) There is more than meets the eye in the resigna- tion of Dr. John W. Studebaker after 14 years as head of the United States Office of Education. Dr. Stude- baker wrote in his letter to the President that he could no longer afford to remain in the Federal Government, | But undoubtedly another factor in his decision was the feud between the Federal Security Agency and its components, of which the Office of Education is one. In this connection Dr. Studebaker’s resignation bears The Soviet Government is bid for exclusive control of Berlin British and French Governments ar ment of Berlin. Each is playing politics.

Despite the desirabil- ity of such a move, sometimes these efforts have |seemed more concerned with empire-building than necessary correlation, and they have of course caused resentment in agencies accustomed to virtual inde- pendence under professional direction. Such resent- |ment was voiced by Dr. E. B. Norton, Deputy Com- The Soviet | missioner of Education, who resigned just before Dr. Studebaker.

SHOW DOWN IN BERLIN | Ire against Russia is so tense in | Berlin that certain high-placed U.| S. ofticials (civilians) have been | arging Gen. Lucius Clay to break ihe Soviet blockade by force. They want him to arm a food| rain in the American zone of Sermany and send it speeding through the Russian zone to Ber- lin with U. S. troops in armored cars riding just behind the engine ready to shoot if the Russians re- These U. S. officials go so far as to plan countermeasures in case the Russians sabotage the rail line. They propose that a corps of U. 8. Army engineers be sent along to repair any torn-up rails, also to repair the River Elbe bridge if blown up by the Russians. Some officials, quite close to Clay, claim that Russia is not ready for war and would try to “localize” any trouble with the United States. There might be some clashes between U. S. and! Red Army troops around Berlin, they advise, but Russia would not let them spread to the rest of Europe. She would backdown first. General Clay, however, doesn't agree. So far he has rejected this explosive advice. He says that if an incident took place, you never can control men's passions. Trouble might spread whether Moscow wanted it or neot. Privately, Clay has described such measures as “unwise and dangerous,” likely to “commit us to war.” Instead General Clay favors 3 sanctions, before mak- ing a move which would convert'a coid war into a shooting war. For, democracies have the operation shipping to Alaska were extended until next Febru: 28 in the last hours of the 80th Congress. 'a move which Dr. Studebaker felt would deprive the | Office of Education of one of its primary functions. As an educator Dr. Studebaker sometimes became embroiled in feuds on his own accord, chiefly because of what some persons regarded as an inflexibility of approach and an unwillingness to cooperate. ,is no question, however, that as a progressive educator he brought tremendous prestige to the efforts of the government in this field. As he leaves to take up more lucrative work as chairman of the editorial {board of Scholastic Magazines, he is one of the most respected men in his profession Had -he remained with the Government, Dr. Studebaker would have been another victim of Senator and cal- They are trying at best in recent to provide food terms of morals !have remained at $10,000 while his subordinates would - | have received more under the new pay raise. Dr. ! Studebaker's financial complaint is a familiar theme Although it obviously is not possible for the Govern- {ment to compete with the financial inducements of | private industry, certainly the plight of eminent Fed- eral officials whose living sandards grow progressivel lower under the present ceiling deserves more serious lattention than it has received. Equally important in any effort to make the government service more attractive to men of high caliber is a brake on the tendency to regard high officials as legitimate prey !for all sorts of Congressional harassment and im- punging of motives. A respect for the position of the .men charged with the great responsibility of conduct- ing the affairs of government is essential to the concept | of public service which David E.
