Australian Dust Carried
To New Zealand

MELBOURNE. - Thousands of
tons of Australian topsoil were
blown across the Tasman Sea by a
recent storm, and some of it settled
on New Zealand in the form of red
or yellow dust. Reports from Auck-
land stated fine reddish dust ar
rived over the city at about 80
miles an hour, the haze causing pc
culiar lighting effects. Dust was de-
posted on everything exposed.
Pilots of Tasman Empire Airways
reported 1t had risen to $4,000 feet,
and passengers arriving from Sgd
ney said the atmosphere was most
oppressive and was warmer near
the Australian coast. The red dust
was identified as coming from Gen.

Veterans Education
Survey Printed in
Congressional Record

A study Of Statewide planning
FOR veterans education, prepared by
Ernest v. Hollis Of the once Of Edu-
cation, was printed in the Congress
sional Record last week at the re-
quest Of Senator Chavez, Democrat,
Of New Mexico.
In the survey. Mr.. Hollis pointed
out that 1t would be "unrealistic to
expect ambitious young men who
had their feet no higher than the
first rung of the employment ladder
when they entered the armed forces
to return willingly to jobs as farm
hands, messengers, clerks, walters,
filling station attendants and the
like"
Many of the soldiers, he said, are
willing to pay the price in additional
education and training that is re-
quired for the careers they envision
Polls indicate, he said, that each
State may expect 80 per cent of its
native sons to return home for edu-
cation and employment, but States
with superior opportunities may ex-
RVSb Wy w OllCsll4Jll lllO1C lCtul llCu
veterans than they sent into the
armed forces.
A breakdown in the study of the
number of Army enlisted men who
have reached various education
levels by States Showed that the
District was far ahead of the ma
tional average on the number of
white soldiers who had completed
high school and one, two or three
years of college.
These figures, compiled when the
Army's enlisted strength stood at
7144,401, showed that at that time
3,789,545 soldiers from all parts of
the country and 1908 District SOL
diers were 25 years old or younger.
OF those groups, 78 white District
men and 1928 colored District men
still were in grammar school when
they entered the Army, as compared
to national average of 237; that
27.9 white District men and Al per
cent colored District men were in
the first three years of high school,
as compared to national average
of 325; that 81 per cent of the white
District men and 26 per cent of the
colored District men had completed
high school and were in the first
three years of colleges as compared
to a national average of Al per cent:
and that 3.3 white District men and
no colored District men had COM
pleted four or more years of college
as compared to a national average
of 28 per cent.

SUNDAY SCHOOL ENDS?
pathfinder Magazine)

(Patn1lnQer MagaZlne)
Extinction of the Sunday school within
80 years if the present rate of loss con-
tinues, is predicted by Rev. Philip M.
Widenhouse, chief of the = Washington
Federation of Churches department Of
research and church planning.
Washington is typical of the 1877 metro
politan areas where more than half of
the nations population is concentrated,
said Reverend Widenhouse. These bulg
ing war centers are overflowing into sub
urban communities Somewhere in be-
tween the two," he said 'can be found
many socalled delinquent Sunday school
children and parents"
Nationwide Sunday school enrollments
for 258 denominations tOtaled 22,776,-
$50 in 1942-an increase Of more than
a million and a quarter since 1926. How
ever, losses since 1912 may wipe out that
gain.
"The situation is critical. It must be
met by the churches if they are to retain
their power and vitality and have voice
in shaping the character Of the society
that is to be-
To stem the downward trend the
Washington federation is acting on a
three-fold plan. 1t is undermining Sun
day school programs, producing better
trained teachers through inter-denomina-
tional Institutes. 1t is enlisting churches
behind invitation campaigns to encourage
transfer of out-of-town memberships to
local parishes, and it is distributing new
community churches in a way to avoid
overlapping.

UNIV Sets Demand
For Royalties
On Coal Produced

WASHINGTON, March 2. (UP)-
The United Mine Workers Thurs
day demanded royalties of 10 cents
ton on all bituminous coal mined
in the United States.
The royalty sought by the uniCr

its members modern medical and
surgical service, disqualification, in
surance. rehabilitation and econom-
ic protection"
The demand was presented by
UNIV President John l.. Lewis In a
speech opening formal negotiations
with operators for new contract.
He asked the government to keep
hands off the negotiations.
Lewis also demanded:
|. That the new contract run in
definitely but subject to cancella-
ton on 20 days notice by either
party. The expiring contract was
for two years.
.. Inclusion under TIE contract
of all persons employed inside or
outside the mines except the super
intendent and one foreman in each
mine.

between districts including cutting
and loading rates; elimination OF
the helper classification.
4. Premium pay of 10 cents an
hour for workers on the second

on the third shift.

AN ECONOMIC CHARTER
christian Science Monitor)

u can assure you that the United
States does not regard this as a rhetorical
assertion of vague intentions" When
Secretary of State Edward r. StettlnluS
made this statement in the course of his
speech to the Inter-American Conference
at Mexico City, he was referring to the
Atlantic Charters want. AS If to under
score his words drafting of an economic
charter at Mexico City is already re-
ported under way.
The aims of this charter, so far as they
are known, would be to provide not only
equal worlds raw material sources, but
equal access to world markets. This
charter would provide more than an
equal chance to buy. 1t would offer an
equal chance to sell and so to acquire the
necessary means to buy
This aim embodies the principle of the
Hull reciprocal trade agreements. 1t
constitutes a step toward the reorderlng
of the world on the freest possible econo-
mic basis. When the United Nations meet
at San Francisco, the multllateral rath-
er than the bilateral approach to trade
relations will almost surely have been
greatly strengthened.
But this fact in itself will not suffice
to pry some important European nations
loose from their present tendency to de-
pend on special and exclusive trade
agreements. Indeed, unless the United
States proves itself fully conscious of the
implications of its position as the worlds
chief creditor nation, the organization of
the Western Hemisphere into an area re-
lying on the Hull philosophy might only
substitute conflict between blocs of coun-
tries for conflict between single coun-
tries.
Fortunately, at Breton Woods the
United States gave sign that it is ready
to cooperate with hard-pressed European
nations in creating world stability. SO the
economic charter shaping up at Mexico
City seems a logical quid pro quo. 1t says
pretty clearly what kind of economic
world the United States hopes to see
emerge from its cooperative endeavors.

6O1 Enlisted Men Rescued

Washington, May 29 - (U.P) - Quick action by destroyer escorts avenged the loss of the Escort Car rier Block Island - sunk year ago today by German U-Boac - aid rescued over $50 of her crew. With the battle of the Atlantic a thing of the past, the Navy finally revealed details of the sinking.
 The dramatic, IA month career Of the Block Island ended when an enemy submarine pumped three tor pedoes into the light carrier, then put fourth into one of her escorts, the Destroyer Escort Barr, damag- ing that vessel.
 The remaining unharmed des- troyer escores went into immediate action. The DE Ahrens, skippered by Commander Morgan A. Harris of Paradise avenue) Newport, R. l., moved into rescue survivors. A total of 73 officers and 6Ol enlisted men from the carrier were taken aboard with the DE Paine taking on more than 250 - all of the crew not lost in the initial explosions,
 AS the Ahrens proceeded to the rescue of survivors, she obtained positive location of the enemy sub marine. Another destroyer escort, the Elmore, proceeded to the attack.
 Exactly an hour after the first torpedo struck the Block Island, the DE delivered her assault. An enormous explosion proved definite ly that the enemy U-boat had been destroyed.
