Today th Berlin airlift b sus-
pended and tha pilot and (round
crewmen who performed the
greatest air feat In hiltary at long
but get a rest.
What they and the nation may

about their work. They lay that
tha Berlin airlift ha done more'
to increaae American prestigt in
Europe than anything el
Even behind the iron curtain
tha fret of the Berlin airlift are
known. The Russians couldnt
keep the new out. The feeding
of a city of 200000 people by air
day in and day out wa too stag-
gering a story to suppress. It wa
a great human story spread not
by newspapers but by word of
mouth.
The Soviet government not only
couldnt suppress it but was wor-
ried about it.

labors today may never really
know how much they have done
for their country.
J. EDGAR HOOVER
SCHOOL
During the 25 long years he
has been director of the FBI J.
Edgar Hoover has received all
kinds of tempting financial offer.
Various corporations have in-
vited him to leave the government
and join them. Movie companies
have asked him to serve as their
crime-story adviser. Big detec-
tive agencies sought his services.
But Hoover has said no.
When you compare this with
the general field of ex -government
officials Hoovers sacrifice
looms much bigger than the pub-
lic realixes. Most top government
officials serve a few years then
go out and make big money in
private industry. In Washington
and New York the woods are full
of lawyers who once worked far
tha government and now lobby
against the government
But Hoover was satisfied to
work for years on less than $10-
000; only recently got a salary In-
crease to $14000. He is truly de-
voted to public service.
. Therefore it was appropriate
that yesterday the 25th anniver-
sary of Hoover's directorship of
the FBI a bipartisan group of
senators and representatives in-
troduced a bill establishing a model
school for rejected boys outside
Washington in honor at Hoover.
For work among boys has been
one of his greatest contributions.
PRIVATE-GOVERNMENT
ENTERPRISE
Already a group of private citi-
zens have secured a 510 acre farm
near the upper Potomac in Mary-
land as a gift to the J. Edgar.
1 Hoover " Foundation. They also
plan to raise money privately to
help build and finance the school.
The MU introduced in congress
by Senators Thomas of Utah Morse
of Oregon and Ives of New York
and Congressmen Walter of Penn-
sylvania and Case of New Jersey
provides that the government will
match private contributions and
that the school will be governed
by a board composed of an equal
number of government officials
' and private citizens. This would
give the school some of the free-
dom of enterprise which the gov-
ernment itself lacks.
Hoover himself would be the
guiding genius behind the school.
And though his days of retire-
ment are still some time off the
day might come when instead of
taking a tempting offer from pri-
vate business he could devote his
talents to the thing he enjoys most
improving the youth of the
And in view of Hoovers long
service at a modest government
salary nobody in congress is going
to object to putting up part of
the money for a boys' school dedi-
cated to him.

DoughfonWants
Rigid Economy
Washington May 11 (47 Rep.
Doughton (D) North Carolina
head of the tax-writing house
ways and means committee; said
after a White House call today
that he favors rigid government
economies to avoid tax increases.
Doughton told reporters that
President Truman had asked him
to come to the White House for
general discussion id ths tax
situation end other matters.
Doughton'i committee has made
no move yet to frame a tax bill
in line with the president's Jan-
uary request for $4000000000 in
new taxes.
Dseghten said he hope N will
"net be eeeaaary" to impose
nrw taxei became they "might
effect beslneae adversely
In response to questions he mid
ha thought the president knew
how he felt. But he did not say
what Mr. Truman had told him.
Doughton made it clear that hb
committee will not make any de-
cision on what to do about taxes
until it completes consideration of
proposed changes in the social
security act. He indicated It would
bo at least a month before any
tax discussion can be held.
Dough tons remarks were one
more indication of apparently In-
creasing sentiment in congress that
the government must rut down on
spending rather than increase
taxes In an effort to keep income
and spending In balance.

They could seek to hove the

Cartwright with 312000 signatures

Already Crowded
(Editor! Note: Thb b another In a series of articles canesrn-
teg conditions fas Chickasha gnda sad Junior high schools sad
the prapssed bend tasne to finance eensteneUen at a new ele-
mentary school end additions to the present Jnnlar hlghsrhssl
structure.)
By GEORGE YATES
No clam rooms have been added to the Chickuh junior
highschooi building for more than 80 years.
According to Bruce J. Myera superintendent of school
the last addition to the junior high structure except for
the auditorium and the gymnasium was built in 1917. At
that time the east wing of the building was added to furnish
adequate facilities for students then enrolled in the school.
And though figures are not available for that year the
total enrolment at the school haa certainly increased with
the population of the city I
It i an eatablhhed fact Mr. Myera said that the
School haa not been large enough to properly houite the
students for a lumber of yean. On the baxi of 25 sta-
denta per teacher (or room) the capacity of tha tinc-
ture nhould BOO.
But during the school year 1940-41 the enrolment ma
650 fifty students above the recommended number I
- And by 1948-49 the enrolment had climbed to 706.
It might be pointed out that there are now 25.5 teachers
on the faculty at junior highschooi and 22 rooms including
the shop and the home economics noma. But that number of
teacher include the principal who doe not teach a daas.
(The J6 represent one who teaches half-time only.)
Dividing the number of teacher into the total enrolment
and you have the figure 28.8 or almost 29 students per
teacher.
The capacity figure is derived by multiplying the 22 tea-
chers who have room by the recommended 25 student and
adding 25 each for the girla physical education instructor and
the boys physical education instructor who have no noma at
all The total ia 600.
But Mr. Myfra points out this does not tell the whole
story.
'"'Ninth grade students go on a schedule similar to thoaa hi
highschooi which results in fewer students per teacher in
that grade. This necessarily causes considerable doubling up
in tiie seventh and eighth grades with an increased load on
the lower grade teachers.
As was pointed out above; then haa been an increase
of 56 students since 1941 and ail that increase was re-
flected ia the seventh grade this year. That means an
increase in the ninth grade within the next two years
which will requin additional faculty members for that
grade. From the enrolment records of ths grade schools
then will be no decrease in the number ef students
coming into junior highschooi anytime soon so it will
not be possible to steal the teachers from the seventh
and eighth grades.
And Mr. Myers said you cant add faculty members
unless you have class noma hi which they can teach I
These conditions exist at the school now. The increase
reflected in the first three grades in the elementary schools
is not considered. Within three years that same increase
will hit the junior highschooi.
What an wa going to do with 200 additional students
now in the first second and third grades when they get up
into the seventh eighth and ninth grades 7 asks Mr. Myera.
