JOSEPH M. TONE
 HAS BEEN UPHELD

Hartford, Conn.,, March 29.-(UP) = A supreme court decision today upheld the contention of State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone that persons employed by the H, Duys
 and Company, to process and handle tobacco cannot be classified as agri-
 cultural labor and therefore exempt from terms of the Unemployment
 Insurance Act.
 The decision reversed an earlier
 ruling by the superior court which
 found in favor of the Hartford com
 pany. The concern acted as agent
 for independent growers and entered into contracts on a commission basis to process, pack and market theii crops.
 Under the high court decision the
 Duys Company must pay approxi- mately $1 800 in taxeS on its 1886 and 1937 payrolls.

CALLS STATE TO
 AID GRADUATES
President of Conn. State College Asks Help for
 Boys Girls

Hartford, March 29-(UP)-Con- necticut State college President AL bert N. Jorgensen today regarded it duty of the state to heed the plight of thousands of young per- sons who leave school each June without the prospects of a job.
 In his biennial report to Gov. Baldwin, Dr. Jorgensen considered the situation major problem which, if ignored, twill be paid for in social stress and strain if not dis integration."
 He estimated about 13,000 boys and girls complete their high school courses each year and only a com- paratively few go to college
 Ages Between IS and 24
 "Nearly 30 per cent of applications for jobs," he said, "are made by persons between 18 and "A. Connec- ticut should do something about this situation. Every possible effort should be made to provide for those whose achievement and ability justify their wish to continue at- tendance in school or college"
 ''If it is sound policy to place 5000 Connecticut young men in for estry and erosion camps, then it should be more sound, or at least as sound. to make provision for deserv- ing and competent youth to at- tend college. Money and effort de- voted to this end will not be charity or relife; it will be an investment in improved future citizenship and future leadership"
 Raising School Age
 He proposed raising the compul- sory school attendance age from Is to IS years and offering young per- sons who have completed high school broad program or practical train- ing in scuh fields as broadcasting, advertising, aeronautics, music and other specialized work. Cooperation of communities was urged.
 Little money is needed for this type of education" he said What is most needed is enthusiasim,'
 Dr. Jorgensen also proposed a more extensive program of adult education, and an eventual reor- ganization of the states educa- tional program into two divisions, a common school system and a system of higher education.
