NEA Chief Tells
Teachers U. S. Can
Afford Education
ANCHORAGE, to — The larg
est convention of teachers ever
held in Anchorage, heard the
National Education Association
president declare yesterday that
Americans can afford more for
education.
“It isn’t a question of the pock
etbook, it’s a question of the mind
and heart of man,” said Dr. W. W.
Eshelman, NEA president and
Superintendent of Public Schools
at Port Washington, Pa.
Eshelman was the opening
speaker in the Eighth Annual
Western Regional Teachers Con
ference. The conference will con
tinue through today with much of
the time taken in sectional meet
ings and major addresses.
“We have money to spend in
America for anything we think is
important,” declared Eshelman.
“Any nation that spends as much
as we do on liquor, tobacco, —
and I could go on and on — can
spend more on schools.”
“It’s high time the federal gov
ernment gives more than lip serv
ice to education,” he added. “We
have as much inter-state com
merce in ignorance as in anything
else.”
Khrushchev Offers Olive Branch of
Peace to France in Pre-Summit Talks
By RICHARD K. O'MALLEY
PARIS, (tf» — Soviet Premier
Khrushchev, campaigning for
close French ties with the Soviet
Union, said today, “We have a
proverb that it is better to have
100 friends than 100 rubles.”
He held out the olive branch at
a press corps luncheon in this
third day of his presummit visit
to France.
Khrushchev said the May sum
mit meeting should seek an end to
the .cold war. He declared disarm
ament is necessary to peaceful
co-existence. He warned again
that the Soviet Union may sign
its own peace treaty with Commu
nist East Germany if an all-Ger
man treaty fails to materialize.
He touched with light scorn on
the Berlin problem. He told his lis
teners tiie Soviet Union is not
alarmed at the 11,000-odd West
ern troops garrisoned there, add
ing that perhaps half a million
would be easier to wipe out.
He implied the real concern
was that the Soviet Union con
sidered the situation in the di
vided city a dangerous vestige of
World War II, which should be
removed.
The press corps luncheon was
held in an ornate restaurant
within a stone’s throw of the new
headquarters of the North Atlan
tic Treaty Organization — an
alliance Khrushchev would like to
see broken up.
NATO’s own security guards —
all French — patrolled the roof
of the headquarters building to
help protect the Soviet leader.
Khrushchev said he felt the
aim of the summit conference
which will seat him here May 16
with De Gaulle, President Eisen
hower and Prime Minister Mac
Millan, will be to find a common
language on international ques
tions. He said the meeting could
not settle all East-West problems.
“Years of cold war have too
much obstructed the path leading
to peace,” he said.
Khrushchev denied he had
come to separate France from her
allies either by public utterances
or private meetings with De
Gaulle. His main theme in his
initial speeches has been a warn
ing against resurgence of mili
tarism in West Germany, France’s
closest European ally.
