FUEHRER'S END:
Died With Eua

Answering repeated rumors of Hit
ler's escape from Berlin, British in
telligence declared that an ex-
haustive investigation had indicated
that the fuehrer had shot himself in
the bunker of the reichchancellery
on April 80 and his consort. Eva
Braun, had followed him in death
by taking poison.
Though broken in health, Hitler re-
manned alert in mind to the end,
the British found. and even held
hopes for a successful defense Of
Berlin after his decision to remain
in the capital on April % and aban-
don plans for a last-ditch stand in
the Bavarian mountain redoubt.
When the Russians continued to
hammer forward. however, hope
faded and Hitler and his mistress
were married on April 20, climaxing
a long, secret relationship.
Bidding his personal followers in
the reichchancellery goodbye the
next day, Hitler then shot himself
through the mouth while his mate
took poison, the British said. Per
the fuehrer's last orders. Propa-
ganda Minister Goebbels and Dep
uty Leader Bormann then saturated
the bodies with gasoline and burned
them beyond recognition. 1t is also
believed that the remains may have
been further broken up and then
buried.

try-wide pattern.
While the President said industry
generally was capable Of extending
wage increases because of overtime
elimination, greater productivity
per worker, tax credits for lower
earnings and abolition of the excess
profits levy, he promised that price
boosts would be granted after a trial
period if the added costs resulted in
operating losses.
Meantime, price rises would be
considered in cases where indus
tries raised wages to a full % per
cent to cover added living costs
since January, 1941; boosted pay to
iron out differences in plants in the
same industries or localities, or paid
more to attract workers to essential
enterprises to speed up reconver-
sion.
With the governments wage pol
icy established, representatives of
management and labor met in Wash
ington, D. c., to establish machinery
for settling differences.

PACIFIC:
No Peace

Though Japan has laid down her
arms, peace has not yet come to
the Pacific, what with Chinese ma
tionalists and communists at swords
points and Indonesians seeking their
independence from Dutch rule.
U. S. troops stood in the middle
as Chinese nationalist squared of
against the communists, with ma
rines guarding the vital coal mines
and rail route around the shipping
port of Chinwangtao in the trouble
some northern zone.
Heretofore, the communists have
considered this territory their espe-
cial domain. and until Chang Kali
shek's troops set foot upon it after
disembarking from U. S. vessels, no
nationalist forces had ever chal-
lenged Red control there. While the
communists withdrew in the face of
nationalist landings at Chinwangtao,
they remained active to the west,
cutting rail routes over which
Chang could deploy his armies.
With the U. S. supporting the ma
t~ionalists and the Russians having
recently promised to keep hands off
of Chinese politics, Chang has en-
joyed every advantage in his effort
to extend his domination owe the
country. While his representatives
have haggled with the Reds over
terms in C~hungking, Chang has
cleverly pressed his edge in the
north.
Meanwhile, natives of the East In

Warn of Traffic Hazards

As chairman of the National
Safety councils committee on
winter driving hazards, made up
of 80 experts in fields of traffic
and transportation, Prof. Ralph
A. Meyer of Iowa State college
warned that the coming snow and
ice season may cause n Of the
worst traffic accident winters"
in history.
With a study of recent years
showing traffic accident death
rates for SO northern states "a
to SO per cent higher in the win
ter than in the summer months,
Meyer said, the combination of
more and older cars, more gas
and more restraint weary" driv-
ers may result in the worst season
in history. Drivers in snow belt
states must consider dangerous
road conditions and should imme-
diately check their brakes, tire
chains, windshield wipers, de-
f~rOsters, and headlights.
Concerning future auto and
truck models, Professor Meyer
said manufacturers are giving
more consideration to safety and
practical fender styling for east
er installation of anti-skid chains
without impairing streamlining.
fcw windshield and window de-
signs, defrosters and headlights
also improve winter visibility.

AGRICULTURE:
1916 Prospects

Though the government intends no
leveling off of overall production
next year and demand for food
should remain high, real farm IN
come may drop as much as IS per
cent during 1916 in rejecting in
creases in some prices of what
farmers buy, the department of ag-
riculture predicted.
Despite a Is per cent drop in real
income-that is, what income will
actually buy in goods, etc.-it will
still remain double the prewar aver
age, the department reported. How
ever, any kind of a decrease would
be the first since 1885.
Predictions of a drop in real in
come for 1916 followed reports that
the government would soon outline
production goals for next year, ask
ing for maintenance of present live
stock and hog marketings and wheat
and cor acreage; increased plant
ings of cotton and sugar beets, and
sharp cuts for eggs and chickens
and oil bearing crops. Milk and po-
tatoes would be scheduled for small
er reductions.

WAGE POLICY:
Labor Sees Cain

Though President Truman left the
way for reconversion wage settle
ments up to the collective bargain
ing of employers and unions, labor
looked to the administration pro-
gram to pave the way for substan-
tial pay increases within the stabili-
zation structure.
BY appealing for maintenance Of
high wartime "take-home" pay, and
declaring business well able to alb
sorb the added costs. or eligible for
moderate price increases, Mr.. Tru-
man was seen to apply pressure on
management at a time when atten-
ton is being focused on the all-im-
portant wage negotiations in the au-
tomobile, oil and steel industries.
In enunciating his reconversiou
wage policy to a radio audience es-
timated at 80, 900, 900, the President
did so only after administrator con-
situations with both big business
and labor leaders. AS a result of
one of these conferences with Hen
ry Ford II, government officials ex-
pressed confidence a satisfactory
settlement could be arranged in the

Celebration Of the first anniver-
sary of the White House conference
on rural education, in October.
served to bring into focus again the
shortcomings and problems Of rural
education in the country schools.
Moreover it has brought to the fore
once again the long-standing debate
over the merits Of the one-room,
one-teacher school, versus the con-
solidated country school.
There is, however, one fact that
proponents of both the one-room
school and the consolidated school
a agree on. and that is the rural
youth Of the nation is not getting
an even break with his city cousin
in the matter of education.
With this in mind, a 24-point pro-
gram for improvement of rural edu-
cation has been drawn up for a long
range fight for adoption by federal,
state and local school authorities.
This is an effort to bring rural edu-
cation up to a higher level to give
the boys and girls of rural communi-
ties the type Of education they need
and the most education possible in
the rural public schools Of the ma
ton.
DR.. Howard A. Dawson Of Arkan-
sas. director of the rural services Of
the National Education association,
at a recent press conference here
announced that shortly after the first
of the year nine regional conferences
IN rural life and education will be
held in various sections of the coun-
try. Representatives Of farmers,
business. labor and educational
groups will participate in an effort
to stimulate greater interest in the
program.

Qualified Superintendent

Furthermore. one of the planks in
the 24-point program calls for care
full selection of superintendent OF
rural schools on a basis of profess
sional qualifications and on non
political considerations. Therefore,
popular elections Of county superin-
tendents should be abandoned.
There are some II, 100, 900 students
enrolled in rural schools, which con-
stitute 48 per cent of all public
schools in the nation. The 451, $50

Bigger, Better High Schools

1t Is pointed out that the curricu-
hum established by the state boards
of education in many states varies
little in the city and country schools.
It is a matter OF common sense
there is a vast difference In the edu-
cational needs of country children
and those who live in cities. So n
of the problems Is for a course
of study particularly fitted to the
needs Of the rural youth, and a staff
Of teachers who have the kind and
quality Of preservice education
which will qualify them to teach in
rural schools as contrasted to city
schools.
The NEA believes also that there
a be no adequate high school edu-
cation in any rural high school where
enrolment is less than 300 pupils
There can be no adequately formu-
lated high school program which will
give the student a well-rounded
education where there are only a
few students; there a be no school
morale or spirit, nor a interest Of
the student in the teen ages be
maintained through four years Of
high school work in small high
schools, educators believe.

Country Schools Need Help

Here are some vital statistics and
facts which become problems before
any gathering of rural school au-
thorities: Farmers have 81 per cent
of the children and only 10 per cent
of the national income, so there is
a need for greater state and federal
financing as aids to local admins
trati0n Of rural schools.
Rural school teachers average ap-
p~roximately 1859 per year in salary
as compared to an average of S1,955
for city teachers, so city schools are
able to obtain better teachers.
There are s. $1,000 school teachers
now working under emergency GER
~tificates who are not qualified to
teach, and two-thirds of them are in
rural schools.
Rural school districts are too
small and should be enlarged to pro
vide increased and to de-
crease administrative costs.
vi Tile lOS,UOI rural SC1lOOl DullQ-
ings, 108, 900 are of the one-teacher
variety and one recommendation of
the White House conference is that
schools should be consolidated wher-
eve distances, topography and the
best interests of the children and of
community life permit, which. by
the way, is a manner Of straddling
the question of whether the one-room,
or the consolidated school is for the
best interest of the children.
Enrolment in teachers colleges.
the source from which school teach
ers are obtained. has dropped so per
cent during these war years. AS a
result, 800, 900 of the nations 900, 600
teachers r new to their jobs, and,
whereas city schools have been able
to maintain stats because Of high
er salaries paid. country schools are
bearing the brunt of the shortage.
