The future outlook., 1943-10-23

gains have been made" In the
decade before the Alston suit, the
annual average salary of the
Negro public school teacher In;
creased from $432 to $601 IA year
In the IL so-called segregation
states, statistics Of the United
States office of education show.
In 1930-1040 the average white
teachers salary was> $1,O46 In
these states. There were then 64,-
476 Negro school teachers and
260, ,oS3 white teachers. Average
salaries OF the white teachers for
the year 1931-1032. were 1903 per
cent greater than those for the
Negroes. BY 1930-1940 the differ
ence had been reduced to "A per
cent. Ga
The increase in Negro teachers
salaries ranged from i per cent
In Tennessee to 46 per cent In
North Carolina. The greatest de-
crease in differential, 02 per cent,
was in Oklahoma.
In the border states of Mary
land and oklahoma equalization
Is no longer a problem. In the
middle states of Virginia, North
Carolina and Kentucky, equaliza-
ton has not been achieved com
pletely, but 1t seems just around
the corner.
In North Carolina, where the
state wholly supports the school
system, $2,7O0,O00 WAS set aside
three years ago to eliminate the
pay dlfferential, which had been
growing smaller for years. The
program calls for the goal to be
reached in the fall Of 945.
DR.. Dabney S. Lancaster, state
superintendent of public instruc-
ton In Virginia, reports Il recent
survey showed 26 Of the states
100 counties have equallzed sal
aries or will have done SO by
1043-1944 and plans for equaliza-
ton have been adopted in 10 9TH
er counties.
EquaHzation has been accom-
pllshed In all but about two dozen
of the 260 school districts In
Kentucky, according to George l..
Evans, director of school finance.
A. w. Carroll, assistant com
of education, reports
that SS counties In Tennessee
make no distinction between white
and Negro teachers salaries rs
far as equalization funds of the
state are concerned. The remain
ing seven erich" counties do not
share in the fund aDd with them |
is a local matter.
In Louisiana, where federal
court recently upheld the claim OF
II Negro teacher, the state board
Of education revised teachers
schedules and made merit and re-
sponsibility additional factors to
be considered by parish superin-
tcndents In fixing salaries.
The South Carolina legislature
this year likewise gave local
school trustees the right to set
salaries in teacher contracts on
the basis OF the type of work
done and It's value. The same leg
islature authorized a 10 per cent
raise for all teachers. A year be-
fore, the state board of educa-
ton increased the top salary for
Negro teachers from $50 to $75 a
month. Top white salary then was
$1OO.
Something like the Louisiana
plan Is being tried locally In some
parts of Florida.
Equalization Ahead.

something which is a familiar job Then, too, most industrial managers now planning in detail for the shift back to peace something which was not done before the shift of gears to war manufactur- ing. Some companies have progressed so far along this line that they already advertising products which they intend to produce after the war.
 But at the time, it would be foolish to over look the fact that there must be some interim in which production will come to a near standstill
 During this interval returning soldiers, war work CTS. their families will be placed in position of trial and uncertainty At least temporarily, there will be for jobs than there jobs. And it is doubtful if there will be any immediate spurge of spending because most people will be waiting to what lies ahead
 Colonel Carey suggests extensive planning program by communities, States Territories and the Federal government of useful public work to be undertaken at upon a cessation of war. This suggestion is well taken. But in addition, there should be understanding policy the part of the Federal government and such men as Colonel Carey encourage private initiative to the utmost during this transition period
 There is thing that returning soldier will want when he comes back-a job but not one of the WPA variety.

MORE ON PLANNING

In recent speech before a group of engineers in Ohio Col William N. Carey, chief engineer of the Federal Works Agencys Corps of Engineers out lined phase of peace planning which he said could not wait until the end of the
 He said that this phase of planning is that which would find some practicable of bridging the gap between production and peace-time in dustry Efforts should be directed, he said toward bridging this gap in such way as to avoid crti- cal period of depression.
 Some economists outright pessimists on this subject They believe that the will be followed by general economic depression.
 Others think that the postwar period will bring a new and higher standard of prosperity to the United States. These latter cite the huge demand for civilian needs that is being created through out the whole world during the period point out that vast amount of public saving has and is taking place through the purchase of War Bonds, thus laying the foundation for prosperous period of trade when the is
 Recalling the time it took for peace industries to be converted into industries, is led to be- heve that shorter length of time will be required for the swing back to peaceful production Plants will not be faced with all of the problems of reshap ing machinery because they will be turning back to

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline <
 but do not conspep'
Tuesday, February g

Benefic aspects rule today which should be fortunate for industry and trade. It is promising for new Government contracts which will supersede those that must be bro ken.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are well directed under this configura- ton which encourages the overcom- ing of obstacles Aged persons should benefit by an access of men tai vision which illumiaates exper- fence and contributes to philo- sophical attitude toward the chang ing world. Statesmen should heed the counsels of their elders who will foretell inevitable results of present day policies. In their homes men in public life will learn much from women's reactions to wartime events.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Labor is under promising aspects which pre- sage great achievements. There is threatening omen read as affect ing shipbuilding or some line of production connected with the Ma w. Battles on the high seas will be on large scale within a short time, fact that will increase our com merce with certain ports. This is not a profitable day for retail mer- chants, who will be forced to alter their plans for spring trade.
 | NATIONAL ISSUES: Demand for specially trained men at the head of important departments in Washington which deal directly with problems of finance and econ- omics will gain in volume as the public finds certain war sacrifices unnecessary. Scientific planning by experts will be one of the benefits to be enjoyed in postwar times, the seers foretell. Haphazard choice of executives who are not familiar with the business entrusted to them will be prevented in sweeping improve ments in the machinery of govern ment, it is prophesied. Constructive criticism will be general as spring activities on war fronts are accel- erated. t
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR
 Months ago astrologers foretold the death of Mussolini and his re- moval from power in Italy. The seers prognosticated also ill health for Stalin and extension of the war until all heads of warning gov ernments have stepped down from high office Inferentially, this would mean that President Roosevelt's suc- cessor will aid in directing peace provisions. If the war continues through 1944. however, clamor for a fourth term will be insistent.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fair ly favorable conditions. Anxiety re- garding relatives is indicated.
 Children born on this day pro- bably will be studiolls, generous and original. They may be stubborn and determined. Success is indicated.

Army is up against in getting mail through may be seen from two re- cent statements: The military forc- es already are handling three times as much mail as they did at the end of World War I; and if the present rate of mail continues to the end of 1943, it will take the full time of 25 ships of more than 10000 tons to handle the mail alone.
 That's why post office officials plead that the folks at home use V-mail, a little patience,s and a great Ideal more accuracy.
 The handling of 20,O00, 900 over- seas letters week can be simpli- fled greatly if that 10 per cent now incorrectly addressed were reduced to one or two per cent; and it half or two thirds of them were sent via V-mail.

Nazi Crime Won't Pay
Philadelphia Recordl

Seventeen of the United Nations have warned the Axis and neutral countries that they the right to declare invalid any transfers of property in occupied countries.
 The nations, including the United States, Britain, Russia, China and the French National Committee, promise to do their utmost to return property to it's original owners if the transfer appeared legal
 This joint declaration is not only an important step toward solving one of the complicated problems that will face when peace comes.
 It is weapon that can be used to help win the It warns Quslings of all natonalites that they won't be able to profit by seizng property of persecuted patriots.
 The Germans have in many cases observed legal niceties in seizng property. They have paid in oc- cupation marks" had the transactions entered in the books according to form. Often the property has been transferred to intermediates, many of them native traitors.
 Germany may get less cooperation from the Quislings if they know they may not be able to keep their traitors pay.
 The Norwegian Government in Exile has gone further than the joint statement. It has issued a decree deprivng 3000o Axis collaboratonsts in Nor way not only of their citizenship but of their right to carry on trade business profession after the war
 The Germans found economic penetration a powerful weapon of nfitration before open hostih- ties, and powerful weapon in taking over industry from not too willing to cooperate with the occupying troops.

SENATORIAL VEGETABLES

Like boys in a boarding school, Senators used to know from day to day what would be on the menu of the Senate restaurant. Each Mondays menu was the same and every Tuesday was the same as every other Tuesday.
 But now things are different. A new manager, D. w. Darling, has been imported from Miami Beach, and he is providing daily surprises with emphasis on fresh vegetables.
 Darling makes much less use of the can opener than his predeces- sor. There are five vegetables on the menu every day-and all fresh.

MILITARY vS. CIVILIAN RULE

All this sounds pretty much like the usual merry-go-round of Wash ington, like the name-calling, the see-sawing of personal rivalries which has made this town famous and which has begged down the war.
 But it goes deeper than that. It goes down to the vital question of whether each branch of the service the Army, Navy, Maritime Com mission-is going to reach it's hand into the war production grab bag, and come out with what it wants regardless of the wars needs. It goes down to the question of whether we are going to use up scarce steel making tanks, jeeps, artillery, when there isn't enough steel to make ships or escort ves- sels to ship the tanks, jeeps an artillery overSeaS-all because the Army was more vigorous in grab bing than the Maritime Commis- sion. st9

SOUTH CAROLINA FRIENDS


 So this group sailed into action. They used as their spearhead Eco homie Stablilizer Jimmy Byrnes of South Carolina tBaruch comes from South Carolina). As a result, Hyrnes last week submitted mem orandum to the White House not favorable to Donald Nelson. h. stead, the military clique wanted to set up a super cabinet headed by Baruch, with Harry Hopkins, Admiral Leahy and Byrnes as members
 S.Hearing of the move to lop off Nelson's head, the non-military group immediately fired back. Sen ator Harry Truman of Missouri, whose War Investigation Commit tee has been a sane influence, called on Jimmy Byrnes to give him the other side of the picture. Don Nelson also called on Byrnes, explaining his reasons for wanting Eberstadt out.
 Hearing of this move, the mili- tafy brought up their biggest gun. Secretary of War Stinson wisely fias kept out of the melee. But Sec retary of the Navy Knox went to bat instead. Lunching at the White House. Knsx put in his plea fof ex-Dilion Read banker Eber- stadt. at the instance of the Under Secretary of the Navy. ex-Dillon Read banker Forrestal
 At this point, however, Don Nell son. the good-natured Missouri boy who had been stabbed in the back SO many times it almost didn't hurt anymore, decided he had had enough. He was supposed to see the President the day after Knox's White House luncheon, at which time he was to advise and consult with the President regarding Eber- stadt, etc.
 Instead, Nelson fired Eberstadt before he went to the White House.
