SECRETARY Marion Folsom of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare says that the U.S. has a shortage of 159,000 classrooms. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce refuses to believe there is a critical shortage at all. Senator Knowland thinks that federal aid for school construction will inevitably lead to federal control, but Democratic Representative Augustine Kelley has declared it "urgently needed." How do the 48 states feel about it? For the answer, see TIME's survey of all 48 states in EDUCATION, Federal School Aid-Do the States Want...
Potshots. Showing up at a $100-a-plate dinner thrown for him at the Hollywood Palladium by 2,200 well-heeled Republicans, Knowland got a raft of solid applause, intoned a rambling speech that was significant only for intimations of his political future. Potshot at Ike: the budget should be cut-by $3 billion, no less. Potshot at Knight (who was avoidably absent from the dinner): "The people of California are entitled to select their own nominees for public office and not to be handed a selected group where the public has no real choice ... in determining the nominees...
...part, "Goodie" Knight saddled up, too. He has no intention of giving way to Knowland, for easygoing Goodie likes being governor as much as he dislikes Knowland-and nearly as much as he dislikes Richard Nixon. And he is stone-cold to any deal that might have him running for Knowland's vacant seat in the Senate.

And beyond that, maybe even the big white ranch house down yonder...
...within shooting distance of a Senate majority for an amendment that would require jury trials in civil rights contempt cases; Wyoming's Democratic Senator Joseph O'Mahoney has announced his support of such an amendment, while apparently wavering are such influential Senators as Minority Leader William Knowland of California and Assistant Majority Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana. Such an amendment, said Assistant Attorney General Warren Olney III, would "emasculate the whole bill." Olney's choice of words, retorted Southerners, merely proved that the original intention of the bill was to rape the South. With those salvos...
Unfortunately it appears that Eisenhower and the State Department did not really expect the Communists to accept the plan. For, while the administration submitted the statute in March, Eisenhower only conferred with hesitant Foreign. Affairsmen Knowland and Hickenlooper last week, after Russian ratification had been announced. The problem now is to muster a two-thirds vote in time to send delegates to the first general conference. The administration's lack of foresight, compounded with an outdated distrust of foreign committments in certain quarters of the Senate, may have assigned the International Atomic Energy Agency to the fate of the League...
