The Old Liners, now ninth,

st. Adams proved itself team to

calmly building up a big early lead
that withstood the pressure of
Gonzaga's second-half rally. The
second period spelled disaster for
the Eagles as they were limited to
two foul shots while the Saints

Extremely accurate shooting, fast

victory. Al Lucas and Jim Trimble

the rebounds, while Earl Elliott and
Munro Magruder aided them in the
scoring department.
Gonzaga was able to pull itself
together for a good last-half scoring

So Larry promptly jumped to

edge that there is now only one di-

To show how far baseball salaries
have advanced, you need only to
look back to Lajoie and Delehanty.
Around 1903. they were the great
est hitters of their time. Both were
in the 400 bracket, and both also
were sluggerS. Delehanty still holds
the all-time record with Bobby
Lowe, when he hit for II bases in a

RIGHTS OF

In a letter accompanying MEM

each member of congress and made
public today, Hugh DeLacy, national
chairman of the American Committee
for Protection of Foreign Born, charg-
ed that the bill would enforce vir-
tual peonage upon Chinese seamen,
and other seamen, on foreign-flag YES
sells"
Mr.. DeLacy opposed enactment of
the measure, which the house of rep
resentatives will debate on Wednes-
day, March 18th, on the ground that
it will create confusion and disrupt
manning of foreign-flag ships, there
by delaying the delivery of vitality
needed war supplies to the battle
front" The bill would enable the de-
portation of United Nations seamen
to Great Britain. The house of rep
is scheduled to vote on
H. R. 2076, a substitute measure for
H. R. 1851 Both bills contain the
same provisions, except that H. r.
2076 provides also for the deportation
of Chinese seamen to Great Britain.
"HR 1851 would help freeze existing
low wages and intolerable working,
health and safety conditions on for
ships-to the detriment of
working conditions and our
war program for victory" the commit
tees memorandum charges.
The memorandum points out that
more than fifty per cent Of all mate
rails produced in the United States
for the battlefront is carried to the
armies of the United Nations by for
eign flag vessels" and that wages on
these foreign-flag ships are less than
so per cent of those paid to seamen
on American ships

SALARIES OF
TEACHERS
TOO Low

Two items of interest concerning
the nations teachers were revealed
this week The New York Sun for
March II, 1943, reveals that a turn
over of 100000 new teachers has
taken place within the year. The
Journal of the National Education
Association april, 1943) discloses
that 40 per cent of the nations teach
ers are being paid less than $1,000
for a years work. 1t is obvious that
the phenomenal turnover in teacher
personnel, so unsettling and harmful
to pupils and teachers alike is the
result of salary schedules so low as
to fall below most factory wages.
While low salaries are not limited
to the southern states, they are most
typical of that region. 100000 of the
100000 teachers receiving less than
$1,000 a year are in the south More
than half of the $1,000 negro teachers
in the segregated Jim-Crow schools
are receiving less than 5000 a year.
and Arkansas may boast
that more than half of their entire
teaching staff is receiving less than
5000 for years work.
Other sections of the country, par
ticularly South Dakota, Kansas and
Maine, are equally cupable. In all, %
Of the 4S states are actually employ
ing teachers at the present time for
less than $500 a year.
That such conditions exist in the
schools of a nation which prides itself
upon a people that is educated to
know what it is fighting for, is a sad
reflection upon the governments of
.hese states.
Children who are trained by under
laid and over-burdened teachers are
lot being given the mental tools to
make democracy secure and strong.
