The increase in school population last year was the largest the past twenty years, being nearly one million students Moreover, indications are that school enrollments will grow for at lesst another ten years, with an estimated 32,000,000 pupils by 1960. The teaching shortage compels sckiools to employ 75,000 teachers on emergency or sub-standard licenses. Every State reported an inability to get adequately trained teachers, which means that many children receive a second-rate education. This accentuated by the serious building shortage, which means double sessions some as and part-time sessions in other: We call attention to the report MOUNT JUNEAU LODGE NO. 147 SECOND and FOURTH Monday of each month in Scottish Rite Temple beginning at 7:30 p. m.

States were New York with $575,000,000, and California, 0 with $460,000,000. Total operating expenditures we! 000,00 but educational experts point the income represents rising costs other school supplies. There still exist a shortage of buildings and a shortage of tedchers, elementary- school teachers. According to a survey, recently New York Times, there are three The Washinglon Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) has done an amazing job. Yet he did it with almost no reinforce- ments, and with a larger number of enemy forces against him than faced U. N. forces when General MacArthur was in direct command. For an estimated Chinese force of 276,000 men plus 191,000 revitalized North Koreans face Ridgway today, more than the Communist army that knocked MacArthur off bal- ance in North Korea and drove him back across the 38th parallel. Not generally publicized is that almost sole responsibility in Korea has now been given to General Ridgway. For all practical pur- poses, MacArthur has been relieved of the fighting Korean command Technically, of course, this is not true, because MacArthur still re- mains supreme commander. Actu- ally, however, MacArthur virtually washed his hands of the Korean war after Washington refused to send him the four National Guard divisions he requested early in January. Furthermore, Ridgway, coming direct to Korea from the United States, has been more independent than the field Generals who had served under MacArthur in Japan and who, having been close to him, looked to him for direction. Pentagon officials emphasize that there has been no friction between MacArthur and General Ridgway. The latter has merely used differ- ent tactics. He has quietly shaken up His command at the divisional level, has profited from Mac- Arthur’'s mistakes, has given the U. N. army a new shot in the arm and has turned a defeat complex on the part of the troops into a new fighting spirit. Hocver and Truman Though on opposite sides of the political fence, and vigorou dis- agreeing on foreign pelicy, the President of the United States and the only living ex-president of the United States seem to have a strong bond of affection for each other. Herbert Hoover once paid cere tribute to Harry Truman a Gridiron Club dinner. He been known to be grateful to Tru- man for having lifted the ban against him which for 13 long years was imposed by Franklin Roosevelt. Some White House argued that Truman made a mis- take by inviting Hoover to Wash- ington for frequent conferences, since the administration’s blessit has now put him in a where he could damage T foreign policy. However, dent has not agreed, and other day invited the ex-pres to help him regarding relief India. Calling a meeting of members and other advisers man introduced Hoover by sayl “T have inviteq President Hoover because of his vast experience and humanitarian policies to advise us on sending grain to India.” sin- at has 1e for cabinet 1- Hoover replied that, although he| tory and half by private enter was not familiar with the Indian problem, he had great respect for Mr, Truman’s judgment, and he was there to listen.

He explained | that we do not have any great surplus of wheat. “But,” he added “If you say it is necessary we can get 2,000,000 tons or what is needed for India without creating a short- age at home.” Dr. D. A. Fitzgerald, ECA Food Director, outlined Indi needs. He said that drought, floods, earth- quakes, and about every other na- tural calamity had hit India and cut its grain production by 9,000,000 to 5,000,000 tons. “Because 80 per cent of the caloric intake of Indians is grain. They are not meat eaters.” Some cold water was thrown on the project by James K. Knudson of the Defense Transport Admin- istration, who said that with the railroad tieup it would be “quite difficult” to get the wheat to the| ports and he understood ocean | shipping was tight. Several times during the discus- sion, President Truman interrupted to ask Mr. Hoover for his views| and whether he thought the plan was feasible. Hoover's conclusion | was: “This country has never failed to come to the rescue of the hun- gry, and this appears to be a wor- thy cause.” When the was significant chosen as spokesman | the conclusions of the to the press. meeting broke up, Li that Hoover was to explain conference Tragic Jeep Accident Not much got into papers about the other victims of the jeep crash that killed Gen, Walton Walker.

Zvi Lehman, an official of the inspection . department of the ministry of supply and rationing, says that's what Israelis often get when they buy “meat” in the black market. Israeli law permits meat to be sold in rationed and-strictly limited quantities three days weekly.
