FULL EMPLOYMENT
CALLED AID
TO EDUCATION

WASHINGTON - FP) DR.. Donald
Du Shane, secretary of the National
Education Association defense commits
sion, told the Senate banking and cur
rency committee August % that teach
ers indorse the Murray full employment
bill IS $500 because it would reduce I'M
employment and is necessarily Tin the
direction of better living and educational
conditions for all Americans
The educator said I'VE think we have
a high educational level in the U. S. but
figures show quite differently" He then
said that over 500 of adults over 25
years Of age have no high school train
ing; 24.9a of them went no further than
the 9Th grade and that just 24.1% Of all
the adults over 25 years of age are high
school graduates, while just 4.6% are
holders Of college diplomas.
Du Shane blamed the poor education
OF u. S. masses on lack of income and
said there are from 4 to 6 million youths
under 18 who have been "lured to work
as a patriotic duty during the war who
are now competing with adults on the
labor market. He suggested a national
plan to bring these young people back
to the class room to the immediate and
long-term benefit OF the nation and
themselves.

NO UNEMPLOYED in
MANS BELIEF

NEW YORK.-FP)-The National As
ISOLATION Of Manufacturers has busted
off its slightly cracked crystal ball and
foresees just a teeny-weeny bit Of I'M
employment ahead.
While government and labor iobless
estimates range from eight to 10 mil
lion, NAM Pres. Ira Mosher said a sur
vey by his big business organization
showed that fewer than 100000 work
ers would be unemployed for more than
80 days and most Of these would be
reemployed within three months from
the start of %reconversion.
The NAM head waved away a big hunk
Of the unemployment problem by statis-
tically shrinking the number Of workers
who will be looking for jobs. Although
a government survey Of New York state
showed that 1920 of the women workers
expected to continue working, Mosher,
again consulting his own private sources
of information, said that mos house
wives will go back to their kitchens and
added that many young men and women
would find it necessary" to go back to
school.
Business will be able to take care of
the r%econversion problem all by itself,
if only Washington continues to lift gov
eminent restrictions, according to Mosh-
er. The only thing worrying him is
"How far and how fast will government
let US go2"

~POLLTAXERS BELONG
TO DEAD ORDER

NEW YORK-FP)-When p~olltaxers
in Congress mouth the race hatred slo-
gans of Hitler's Mein Kampf, they do
not represent the true feeling Of the
South, according to a survey by the
Southern Conference for Human wei
fare.
The conference polled Isl white news
paper editors in the 10 southern states
on their reaction to a statement by Sen.
James Eastland O.-Miss) that "the
Negro soldier was an utter and abysmal
failure in combat in Europe" Results
of the poll showed that 7512 % Of south
ern editors believe this view did not re-
fleet "the prevailing opinion Of south
ern people" Only 1879 voted Yes on
the question. 14l4% we're undecided.
Eighty-t three per cent scored the poll
takers statement as "a hazard to the
nations war effort" only So support
ed his views.
IN my opinion" commented Confer
ence Pres. Clark Foreman, this is one
of the most encouraging signs that the
people of the South are becoming in
creasingly aware of the dangerous and
unfounded sentiments of such men as
Senators Eastland and Bilbo and Con-
gresham John Rankin. For the first
time we have documentary evidence that
these demagogues belong to a dead order
and represent no one but themselves anc
a handful of r%eactionaries who feed on
their patronage"
