Government Needs j
Trained Leaders
PHILADELPHIA, 'JPt—Govern- j
or George M. Leader says all pro- j
fessional schools would do well
to offer government courses for
the many professional graduates
who enter public service.
He told La Salle College gradu
ates Wednesday night one of his
hardest jobs had been to find
“enough competent people to man
our key professional, technical
and administrative positions.”
Leader suggested that technical
schools teach greater “knowledge
of, and sensitivity to, the process
es and broader problems of gov
ernment.”
“After all,” Leader said, “the
public health director is not only
a doctor; he is also a government
administrator. The highway ex
ecutive is not only an engineer;
he is also a government adminis
trator. The welfare executive is
not only a social worker, he is
also a government administrator.”

hot water must rush north to the j
polar ice, which must inevitably |
melt, releasing in its turn an !

Toward the end of the thriller, j
the villians are properly foiled, j
Novelist Kersh says he has
grave suspicions Khrushchev’s!
advisers picked up the melted ice
cap idea from his thriller. He
added:
“Mr. Khrushchev’s scientific
advisers, however, are ill-advised.
Surely they must know that no
bomb manjafacturable by a hu
man agency could melt at one go
more than a few million cubic
feet of the arctic ice, which is just
I a spit in the ocean.
“Even if it could, Russia would
be flooded, too. Mr. Khrushchev,
I think, has become rather too
much accustomed—at least over
a fifth of the earth’s surface—to
fooling all the people all the,
time.”

Princess Margaret s
Foot Causes Stir
In London Paoers
LONDON, —Not since Adlai
Stevenson got caught with a fiole
in his sole has a foot been such
news.
Princess Margaret was photo
graphed Wednesday easing her
foot out of a tight shoe at the
Epsom Derby. Next morning ev
ery London newspaper except the
Communist Daily Worker and the
staid Times published the picture
with rapt comment.
“Oh, they’re killing me” was
the slightly irreverent caption in
the Daily Sketch.
‘‘Oh, my poor feet!” was the
version in both the Daily Mirror
and Daily Mail.
The Mirror added this com
ment: “Every woman looking at
this picture will smile sympathet
ically, for every woman knows
that moment when, whatever the
occasion, the desire to slip off her
shoes becomes irresistible.”
