Industrialist Says Teachers Paid Better Than They Think
ATLANTIC CITY, NJ. — (UPI)— A prominent industrialist stood up before 20,000 educators today and told them bluntly that:
1. School teachers are better paid than they seem to think;
2. Teachers themselves m u s s shoulder "at least some of the blame"
Senator Backs

"We left a surplus in the treasury, too—but I don't recall that any Republican governors were continually fighting with the state's educational institutions."
Sen. Schoepel said that Democratic squabbling with the administration's defense policy was damaging to the nation's best interests. Once again departing from his prepared speech, he said:
"Thank goodness the members of my party and yours aren't discrediting this nation today."
His voice rising, the Senator accused Democrats in Congress of "passing the buck" in regard to farm legislation.
"President Eisenhower told his Democratic Congress, 'The nation needs a solution to the agricultural problem. Here are some channels within which you can work. Now give me a program, — and they couldn't do it," declared the Senator.
Sen. Schoeppel branded the Democratic party as the party of "chaos, economic disruption, and war," and called upon the electorate to vote Republican.
The Lincoln Day program was held at the Plymouth Congregational Church, and was sponsored by the Douglas County Republican Central Committee.

for any loss of prestige which their profession has suffered.
The industrialist was George Romney, president of American Motors, Corp. His forum was the annual convention of the American Association of School Administrators.
Romney said that while teachers lately have received "much justified sympathy as the underdog profession, the fundamental status of teachers is better than they themselves believe it is."
He said that in his home town of Detroit and many other areas, the starting salaries of teachers are now "fully comparable with the beginning wage rates in most industry."
He said "teachers' salaries do lag as experience increases, but this may be partly due to a normal difference between professional salary ladders and uniform industrial wage scales."
"I also believe that at least some of the blame for any loss of stature that has occurred must be borne by some members of the teaching profession," Romney said.
"The impression has been created in some quarters that in their legitimate fight for higher salary standards,some teachers are seeking greater rewards for less endeavor
"When teachers engage in public debate about whether they should or should not be in a school a few minutes before class begins and remain a few minutes after it ends, they hardly give the impression they are as 'dedicated' as many of us remember our teachers used to be."
Earlier, Rep. Lee Metcalf (D-Mont), co-author of the Murray-Metcalf Bill for federal aid to education, charged that the federal government was "shirking its responsibilities" in education and thereby placing an unfair tax burden on homeowners and others who pay local property taxes.

THIS GOOD LIFE
The good life is yours because you have earned it, and because you have learned to use the materials and services of a high living standard.
How did you learn about these things? Probably through advertising.
A newspaper is on strike, and business drops 7% in two weeks. In another town, a radio station goes on the air for the first time. Tempo along Main Street picks up, as more people shop for more things.
Advertising is, above all, communication. It tells you what is available, and makes you want to have it. Yes, advertising increases our desire for new and better things. America's record proves it is good to reach for a star. By reaching, we have provided the good life for practically everybody. Can any other nation say as much?
