MacMillan Home;
Rumored Unhappy
Over Trade Row
LONDON, W) — Prime Minister
Harold MacMillan returned home
yesterday from his strategy talks
with President Eisenhower and
Washington consultations on Eur
ope’s trade rivalry. He was filled
in promptly on developments in
an inter-Allied row over trade.
British officials showed annoy
ance at disclosure in Washington
of purported views of MacMillan
concerning the Allies on the con
tinent.
Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd
went to the airport to inform
(MacMillan.
The Prime Minister was re
ported to have told U. S. Secre
tary of State Christian Herter and
other officials Monday:
1. Britain is deeply concerned
over plans of the six-nation com
mon market, headed by France
and West Germany, for an 18
month speedup in its program of
internal tariff reductions.
2. These plans, if put into effect
as scheduled July 1, would cost
Britain up to 500 million dollars
worth of foreign exchange earn
ings annually.
3. In such a situation Britain
might toe faced with the necessity
of reintroducing discrimination
against dollar imports and cutting
her military commitments in
Europe.
This version of what took place
in confidential British-American
exchanges already has upset the
French and West German gov
ernments.
A Foreign Office spokesman is
sued a qualified denial.

Hoffa. Is Board’s Target
Will Appeal Ouster; Says
Fired Union Monitor
WASHINGTON', — Law
rence T. Smith, fired after he re
fused to resign as a cmirt-ap
pointed Teamsters Union monitor,
says he will appeal his ouster to
the U. S. Court of Appeals.
Smith said he could be removed
only for cause. He has been voting
against monitor chairman Martin
0"Donoghue on methods for clean
ing up the Teamsters Union
headed by James Hoffa.
U. S. District Judge F. Dickin
son Letts Wednesday ordered
Smith’s immediate removal as a
monitor. He gave no reason, but
said he acted after Smith re
jected the judge’s request that he
resign.
Smith, a New York attorney,
has taken the position that the
monitors were focusing almost all
their attention on steps aimed at
removing Hoffa from the union's
presidency.
Smith contended that as a re
sult the monitors have neglected
other work — especially com
plaints from union members
about the way their officials have
conducted union affairs.

Teachers At Regional
Meeting Hear New Ideas
From Top U.S. Educators
More than 1,300 teachers from
Western Alaska atended the
Eighth Annual Regional Confer
ence at the Anchorage High
School, March 24 and 25. This was
the largest, and, as many ex
pressed, the best conference.
The Anchorage, Elmesdorf AFB
and Fort Richardson Education
Associations were joint sponsors
for the 1960 Conference.
The theme of the Conference
was “Quality in Quantity.”
The Conference began at 8 a.m.
Thursday, with teachers crowding
at their various registration
booths. Nome teachers were pleas
antly surprised to find a former
teacher, Mrs. Eelyn Langhus,
waiting to register them.
The General Assembly started
early, with the Anchorage High
band playing, and the main ad
dress being “A United Profession
Enhances Quality in Education,”
by Dr. W. Eahelman, president
of the National Association.
Dr. Eshebnan stressed three
concepts in education: First, Edu
cation is a drawing-out process
rather than pouring-in; Secondly,
the “Three-R’s” are still the im
portant fundamentals, and lastly,
the most important person in the
profession is the individual teach
er — working with others as a
team — and he offered a slogan,
“Be Something, Know Something,
Import Something!”
Other speakers during the Con
ference included Dr. Lyman Gin
ger, treasurer and past president
the NEA, with “Education for
Another Generation,” and empha
sized the need for teaching chil
dren a set of scientific values,
with an understanding of econom
ics, political science and language
included for the next generation.
Schools need to increase their
school year to meet the challenges
of modern knowledge. Teachers
must increase children’s work pro
duction, also, children must be
urged to think about what can
be done for the total good of the
world. These revolutionary ideas
in education were stressed by Dr.
Hamden Forkner, of Columbia
University, who addressed the last
Conference session on Friday af
ternoon.
Some of the foremost educators
in the U. S. attended the Con
ference, and led sectional meet
ings for various phases of edu
cational enlightenment.
IN MAGISTRATE'S COURT, the
following state cases were
handled:
Davis 'Mendalook pleaded guil
ty to a drunk and disorderly
charge and was given 15 days and
(15 fine. Blaise Tinker of Hooper
Bay pleaded guilty to assault and
battery, and sentence has been de
ferred until next week.
