Nation Awaits Speech
BY Governor
OF Kansas

The spotlight of pub
lie interest will be
turned to Kansas next
Thursday where Cover
nor Landon will fire the
opening gun in the Re
publican fight for the
presidency.
Sounding his formal
acceptance of the G. o.
P. nomination, the gov
ernor'S speech is hailed
by Republicans as the
turning point Of a cam.
paign which will sweep
the Prairie State" gov.
ernor into the White
House.
Political observers ex-
pect Landon to state
concisely and definitely
his plans and his stand
on every major political
question. The governor
plans to make his
speech concrete, free of
vague general state
mentS and claims, they
say.
With typical frank.
ness, the Republican
candidate has agreed
with the advice of his
campaign generals that
the voters expect him to
give his Interpretation
Of the Republican plat
form and how he plans
to carry it out, rather
than any sweeping crit
icism Of the New Deal.
Any denunciationS Ian
don may make will have
definite and plausible
backing, it is predicted.
Aside from the politi-
cal side Of the accept
ance, Landon's speech is
seen as a large scale in
PRODUCTION Of the COVER
nor and his principles
to the American people.
It will be the first de-
tailed speech made by
the governor over the
national radio networks.

Survey Shows Grads
Get Jobs First

With vacation time
here the high school
graduate is once more
confronted with the age
old problem Of: Shall
I go to college and con-
tinue my studies, or
shall I get a job and
go to work?
Which is the wiser
procedure is highly de-
batable but much infor-
nation can be cleaned
from a survey made by
a MidweStern university
not long ago.
A job census Of 1000
graduates was taken for
a period Of seven years.
When the tabulationS
were completed there
came the surprising an
nouncement that 81 per
cent of the graduates
were gainfully employed
in work of permanent
nature for which they
had been especially
trained at the uni
verSity.
About 10 per cent Of
this number had been
able to secure their posi-
tionS before the college
The Washington times., 1936-07-18

course was finished. An
additional 40 per cent
had secured employment
within two weeks after
graduation and another
"a per cent found work
within three months
after completion of their
study, thus making a
total of "a per cent who
had been placed be-
fore three months had
elapsed from the clos
ing Of school.
Salaries of the group
ranged from 5000 to $10,-
600 annually, the lower
salaries in the majority
of cases being aug
mented by commissions,
bonuses and other forms
Of compensation.
Chief among the fields
covered were the main
branches of engineering,
chemical, electrical, civil
and mechanical work.
Other arts included the
sciences, phi a r m acy,
home economics, and
other related branches.
Most impressive Of the
information rev e ale d,
however, was the fact
that these are depreS-
sion figures, compiled at
a time when business
was admittedly at low
ebb. If the survey is any
criterion it would seem,
with business on the up
grade, that the balance
on the scales of employ
ment chance swing heav-
lily and deciSively in
favor Of the college
trained man.

LEAVE RULE
PROBLEMS
By ]. EARLE M0SER

The Civil Service Commission
has washed its hands" Of attempt
ing any future interpretations Of
the new sick and annual leave reg.
ulations, officials Of the agency
indicated today.
Any necessary decisions on leave
and it is expected they will be
multifold-must be first handled
by the department concerned and
then, If there is controversy over
the problem, the argument will go
to the Acting Comptroller General
for final say.
Between the time the leave bills
were passed by Congress and pro-
mitigation of the recent executive
order concerning vacations and
sick time by President Roosevelt,
the commission was kept more
than busy acting as an interme-
diary unit between Congress, the
committee Of administrative Off.
cials who drew up the rules, and
the White House. -
It is said that more than 1000
questions have been received from
individuals and Government Of
fices from all parts of the world
in regard to various questions on
leave. Some were sensible enough
to be embodied ip the commits
Sion's letter to former Comptrol-
Ter General McCarl, which led to
a decision from him that inf1u.
enced numerous provisions in the
permanent regulations. Others
were humorous, and still others so
ridiculous that they defied any
sensible answer.
Commission officials now, how.
ever, are going to let the depart
mentS battle it out with General
Accounting Office. They say that
many problems will automatically
iron themselves out, and that Rob
ert N. Elliott, acting G. A. r.
car, can worry about those which
prove unusually pesky.
