The other main speaker Monday night will be Neil McElroy, president, Proctor and Gamble Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, and chairman of the 34-member President’s Committee for the White House Conference on Education. Mr. McElroy will hold a press conference in the Burgundy Room of the Sheraton-Park Hotel Monday, November 28 at 10:00 A.M. The White House Conference will end Thursday night, December 1, with the presentation of the final two reports on “How can we fi nance our school—build and operate them?” and “How can we obtain a continuing public interest in education?” The chief speakers that evening will be Marion Folsom, Secretary of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, and U. S. Commissioner of Education S. M. Brownell. The 2,000 persons, participants and observers, will come from the 48 States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia. All of these States and Territories have held conferences on education in cooperation with the President’s program. Of the 2,000 persons taxing part in the national meeting, 1,400 participants were named by the States and Territories. More than -300 participant invitations were issued to representatives of national -organizations, Governors and chief State school officers. Observer invitations were sent to Members of Congress with legislative interests and responsibilities in the field of education, foreign observers and others selected by the President’s Committee. The six main subjects to be discussed at the national conference are: (1) What should our schools accomplish? (2) In what ways can we organize our school systems more efficiently and economically? (3) What are our school building needs? (4) How can we get enough good teachers—and keep them? (5) How can we finance our schools— build and operate them? (6) How can we obtain a continuing public interest in education? The Conference participants will prepare a report on each of the six subjects which will be made available to the press. The President’s Committee is responsible for a FINAL report to the President on the “significant and pressing problems in the field of education.” The final report will consider the results of the White House Conference, findings of the State conferences on education, and independent studies made by the President’s Committee. Admission to the White House Conference on Education will be limited to those with official badges only. These badges are divided into three categories: participants, observers, and press. Because of the tight schedule and limited space, no one will be admitted to any official Conference function without proper identification. "Vanishing Island" Draws Huge Crowds Stockholm, Sweden — Tage Erlander, Prime Minister of Sweden, attended tonight’s performance of the Moral Re-Armament musical play, “The Vanishing Island”, in the Royal Opera House. He is the third Prime Minister to see the play in the last two weeks. In Helsinki November 6, U Nu, Burmese Prime Minister, attended a special per formance together with Prime Minister Kekkonen and Foreign Mini ster Johannes Virolainen of Finland. With Mr. Erlander came a party of ten. The popular response to the ideology of MRA is massive. At every performance of MRA plays in Stockholm the crowds have been so great that overflow meetings have been held. Socialists trade union leaders from all continents were introduced to the audience at the close of the play. “Workers everywhere respond to Moral Re-Armament,” said Duncan Corcoran from the Clydeside, Scotland, “because it is an idea on which East and West can unite.. We speak for thousands of work ers across the world. We have given our lives for this. We live in an age where we have learned to split the atom but not found how to unite. MRA is an idea above class on which every race and nation can unite. We fight for this idea because it is creating the new world we all long for.” Today the MRA World Mission from 30 nations received a cable from workers’ leaders in India. It said: “WE ASSURE YOU OF OUR UTMOST SUPPORT. YOUR VISIT AND ‘THE VANISHING ISLAND’ MADE A DEEP AND LASTING IM PRESSION IN ASIA.” The signatories included Chotubhai Desai, General Secretary of the Western Railway Employees Union; Nariman Bugwadia, Vice President of the Bank Employees Union; and K. D. Tilak, Vice Presi dent of the Scindia Employees Union. Peter Howard, author of “The Vanishing Island”, stated his con viction: “Sweden — a center of sanity, purity and unity for the whole world.” About Americans Affairs 'ATLANTA (GA.) NORTH SIDE NEWS (Ind.) says: (11/16/55) . . . .We have done a mighty poor job of selling the American way of life, and Democracy to the world. All indications are that we have fewer friends and more enemies today than ever before. To be sure, there have been a few bright spots, but very few. The Voice of America has done a remarkable job with its meager facilities. CARE has been of some value to us. But, by and large, our gifts have won us no friends, and our spirit of giving has gained us many enemies. This despite some improvements and skillfull negotiating by Mr. Dulles. . . . DILLON (S.C.) HERALD (D«m.) says: (11/16/55) The farmers have more power than the combined power of all the labor unions. If the farmers were tj strike and plant only enough food for themselves and their families every business in the nation would have to close down. No greater calamity could befall the nation. The farmer knows that he has this tremendous power, but he carries on with infinite patience while selfish and thoughtless men on the side lines continue to fight among themselves with the utter disregard of the effect their wrangles will have on the welfare of mankind. Many times in the past the farmers have saved the world, and if the present trend toward intolerable conditions continues it may be the farmer who will have to bring the disturbers to their senses. .
