1t is not easy for these young peo-
pie to realize that their first view
of the business world is not a nor
NAL one. that a time is coming
when they may need all the educa-
ton they can get in order to get
job, or that it may be years be-
fore they can again receive the sort
of wages paid them this summer.
The value of schooling has been
weary drone in the ears of
graduating classes for generations,
but it's truth is going to be sharply
challenged py a lot of high school
students today And the fact of
that truth is no more certain than
the fact that these students are
still needed in industry and busi-
ness and. to a lesser extent, in agri-
culture. SO combined schoolWork
program seems the only feasible
solution.
A few starts have already been
made in this direction. School Of

AGAINST Subsidies

SACRAMENTO. Sept. 4-(UP)--
Unqualified opposition to price roll
backs and subsidies for agricultural
products was on the record of the
board of directors of the California
Stat Chamber of Commerce today.
The board adopted a report by A.
j. McFadden, Santa Anna, chair
man of the chambers agriculture
committee. recommending readjust-
ment of ceilings and controls as
solution to the price situation.

On recommendation of the
chambers statewide tax committee.
the board advocated federal re-
tail sales tax limited to the dura-
ton, declaring it would make high
er income taxes unnecessary and
would also help retaro initiation.

The sound of September's school
bells is going to fall jarringly on a
good many ears this year. For the
bells will be Summoning 100000
teen-age boys and girls back to
school from summer war jobs, and
adding another tWinge to an al
ready severe manpower headache
Of course employers knew they
we're getting temporary help when
they hired these high school stu
dents. But that is not going to
make it any easier to fill the gap
that they will leave in the home
front ranks. For the employers,
whether they are farmers, heads
of war plants, or proprietorS of re-
tail businesses, we're woefully hard
up for help when this new source
of labor supply opened up last
June. And they will be just as hard
up when the supply is removed.
The schools are going to have
trouble coaxing many of these
young workers back to their books:
School is going to seem a pretty
prosaic place to youngsters of II
and 18 who have been working in
aircraft plants and shipyards for
wages which are. by any previous
standard. fabulous.
That 'e n natural reaction for
which we can't blame them. Their

usefulness and independence and

cidedly studfy.

There is one necessary adjunct
to any school-work program which
has not been mentioned in any pub
lished plans to date, but which
must not and probably will not be
overlooked. That is vigilant check
on the health of high school boys
and girls who combine studies with
outside jobs.
They will inevitably miss lot of

normally need. And certainly no
one should ask or permit them to
sacrifice their health, critical as the

THESE points should suffice

achieved only by congressional
action establishing an air de-

II is absurd to assume that
anything fundamental has been

army aviation. Air power is
not only the dominant force in

Such a force cannot be left

rection by airmen with the same
authority and responsibility as

THIS dispatch is written in the
4 course of an extensive tour
of the country From questions
asked by people in nearly all
cities il is manifest that the re-
cent army regulations giving the
air force tactical equality with
the ground forces have caused
confusion in the public mind.
The mistaken notion seems TO
have gained ground that I'VE
now have Independent air
power" This misconception
needs 10 be corrected.
When a so-called military ex-
pert writes that the new ar
rangements specifically boost
air power TO an equal status
with land and sea power, - surely
the public is in "A bad way.
fact is that our country
aviation does not possess a
status equal TO that of sea or
land power. Nothing that is
done within the army setup to
give its aviation or any other
subordinate part more scope

There will be no equal status

HERE are a few Of the rea-
IL sons why the latest reor-
canization OF the air-ground
relationship in the army does
not give US true air power:
Our air potential is still
split into various parts, each
under different control. OBJ
viously the army regulations are
limited TO thu one part OF our
air power. The mischief of the
situation is evidenced by the
fact that the navy is today dup
