Senator (Continued From Page 3) debts foreign countries owe us for World War 1 and A. "I feel that the monies loaned in World War 1 are un-collectable.

In addition, because of the number of men lost by the foreign countries in World War 2, I feel the point is negative." When asked how he felt about monies owed the United Nations by the Union of Soviet Republic, the senator suggested the question be directed to the General Assembly. Other Candidates In addition to Mr. Cronin, several other candidates were on hand to greet the senator from Rhode Island. They included Arthur R.

House of Delegates, held at the Niskayuna Club, Schenec tady, a surprise motion that had national political significance was made from the floor and squeaked through with a victory margin of seven votes. A motion was made that Eastern Zone NYSTA recom mend for the office of President of the United States, vice presi dent Hubert H. Humphrey in recognition of his outstanding record of action throughout his public career on behalf of edu cation and educators, and that all news media in Eastern Zone be notified of this action by Nov. 1. The motion was made by a registered Democrat and second ed by a registered Republican It was challenged twice.

How ever, the chair ruled that the motion by the two delegates was in order; and after a count, because of the departure of so many delegates to distant destinations, that a quorum of vot ing delegates was present. Voting as citizens as well as teachers, the teachers of East ern Zone NYSTA have long exerted legislative pressure pertaining to matters affecting education. Increasingly they are working through the elected members of the New York State legisla- ture representing their local areas to obtain legislation favorable to education. In the future, those in the field of education may be expected to use their voting power with a more sensitive diagnosis of a candidate position on education legislation. The motion commending the record on education of a candidate for the president of the United States is a move this direction.
