John, who was a lawyer in Po- land, would have to spend at last two years studying American law before he would be ready for state bar exams. Because he has mathe- matical mind, N. R. s. advises him to become an accountant and tells him where to get instruction--if 1t is not underwriting any accounting classes itself at this time.
 To fit Johns colleagues into the American industrial economy, N. R. s. has arranged for a cariety of re- training courses, running from bak- ing and dental mechanics to beauty culture and window display.
 DOES NOT TAKE
 ANOTHER MANS JOB
 The other organizations affiliated with the Refugee Consultative Coun- cil, if they do not have their own retraining projects, help Johns Pro- testant and Catholic counterparts attend established classes.
 The American Friends Service Committee has a special service to help refugee scholars and teachers get the contacts and experience rlec- essary for them eventually to find positions in the academic field.
 After John has completed his re- straining course, N. R. s. Gas does each of the other refugee organiza- tions) tries to help him find @ job. Statistics reftitA the fears of those who thought that refugees might take jobs from American citizens. First of all, refugees comprise less than one-tenth of one per cent of Americas population. About 55 per cent of them, like Johns father, are unemployable men or women.
 Then, too,N. R. o. abides by c strict, self Imposed rule not to place John if, by so doing, an American

citizen would be displaced or if the salary offered is less than the pre- vailing wage.
 MORE OPPORTUNITIES
 INSIDE THE COUNTRY |
 Not only are Johns colleagues not taking jobs, but they are making them. A recent N. R. s. survey in the New York area shoyed that refugees had started 303 enterprises. Most of them were not competing with American trades or skills. They employed 2,700 workers, of whom over 75 per cent were American citizens.
 Before too long, John is likely to find some means of self-support. But before N. R. s. tries to place him in New York, 1t urges him to move into Americas interior. There are over 900 committees all over the United States which will try to help him get started. And N. R. s. be- lieves that inside America there are greater opportunities than in New York for John Doestoevski to find, for himself and for his family, that fro which he came to America-a new home, a new security, and a new freedom.

 Unlike most immigrants, today's European refugees are largely skill ed or white collar workers. A break down of one years immigrants re- vealed that over 20 per cent were professors, lawyers, physicians and other professionals; wiMle less than one per cent were either unskilled laborers or farmers.
 Because American standards in many occupations and professions differ from European standards, re- training, or perhaps the study of an entirely new trade, is often necessary.

A single continental soul From pole to snowy pole, From shore to clasping shore, All, all America, the mighty whole, One rock, one mountain -chain, one Slay One mortal dust, one common way!

Gains and losses of fractions to a

greater part Of the proceedings but
somewhat easier tendencies were in

suit was that minus signs had a
shade the best of it at the close.
Volume was so negligible through
out, however, that no especial sig
niflcance was attached such declines
as appeared. Transfers were around
$4,000 shares.
The main sustaining influence,
brokers said, still was the multi
billion defense spending plans being
whipped into shape at Washington.
Shipbuilding issues and a number
of others made early response 10
profits prospects from this source,
but the majority was unable to hold
their advantage. Optimistic earn
mgs statements were plentiful and
aided individual stocks.
Blame of the days lackadaisical
performance was placed largely on
apprehension over spreading strikes,
soaring taxes and the possibility Of
adverse war news proving a shock
to an already shaky market. Steels
were notably sensitive to chances
of labor rift and were under water
most of the day.
Among wavering stocks were
United States Steel, Bethlehem,
