The American Association of University Women proclaimed last week that it was “totally opposed to federal control of schools” and in the next breath endorsed the federal school construction program. . . . Senator Neuberger of Oregon has introduced a bill which would give the federal government the power to bar outdoor advertising along any state or local road built with federal money. It suggests also that the federal government regulate eating places and filling stations along all such roads. … It is reliably reported that State Department officials believe there will be, in the near future, a softening of the U.S. trade embargo against Red China under pressure from Great Britain, Japan and West Germany. . . . Chairman Whitten of a House subcommittee on appropriations favors the sale of surplus U.S. farm goods to the Soviet Union and its East European satellites. . . . The Senate Judiciary Committee has requested immunity from prosecution for Harold Glasser, a former Treasury Department economist, and three other witnesses who recently appeared before it in Hawaii in order to force them to testify. The Judiciary Committee is the first congressional group to avail itself of the immunity law. . . . The newly proclaimed “independence” of the American Communist Party from Moscow has been hailed by Pravda, the newspaper of the Soviet Communist Party. In its report on the recent Communist Party convention in New York, Pravda praised the “unity, preservation and consolidation” of the U.S. party.
