James T. Reiva of Denver, a
member of the NEA’s Commis
sion for the Defense of Democ
racy Through Education, in a
speech prepared for delivery to
the group’s 93d annua] meeting,
listed these points:
1. The schools need to con
sentrate on improving the qual
ity of teaching.
3. Much more effort must be
put faith to interpret what the
school* are doing, and the more
the community is taken into the
planning the less interpretation
is necessary.
3. Better relationships with
the press, radio and television
must be developed.
Throughout Country
4. Conferences like this 93d

Organization Urged
Teachers have been at a, dis
advantage because they have
not been able to bring effective
non-partisan pressure on legisla-'
; tive bodies, said Earl J. Mc
; Orath, United States Education
' Commissioner during the Tru
man administration , and now!
president of the University of '
Kansas City.
Mr. McGrath proposed that '
the NEA’s legislative commis
sion take the lead in organizing
i the profession.
' William G. Carr, NEA execu

hower administration failed to:
> consult civil and professional l
I groups most concerned in pre

legislation. '
I Mr. Carr asserted the post of,
i United States commissioner of!

The commissioner should be ap-
