Fewer Teachers
Cincinnati Enquirer


 The number of teachers in training today IS estl- mated to be 55 per cent lower than was five years ago Colleges all the country report that fewer and fewer young men and women enrolling for teacher training courses.
 Already the effects of the situation being felt It's big news these days when school is able to nounce that has filled it's teaching lists Thousands of educational institutions will limp through the com ing months with overcrowded classrooms, many of them manned by inexperienced staffs The following years promise to be progressively worse.
 Few trends in modern life are more important than this one, for it reaches into every nook and cranny of culture. The good effects of sound education cannot be overestmated neither can the ill effects resulting from lack of educational facilities These facilities include many items from school build ngs and books to teaching personnel But by far the most basis is personnel-a sufficient number of fully trained ebalanced and satisfied teachers. Without these, our tremendous investment in physical plants will be largely wasted oncoming generations of youngsters will be educationally neglected.
 Several steps can be taken to improve the condition Better salaries is Another is fuller explanation of the advantages in comfort security and satisfaction which the profession offers at the present rate of earnings many school and have built for themselves completely satisfactory lives. Retirement pay generally is reasonably good-athough it should be better In the field of personal accomplishment teach ing stands high for it offers great opportunity for the exercise of leadership
 One of the eternal tasks facing America is the building of great and growing educational system Apart of the system have is the greatest in the world. But part Of it gets weaker with the years. Immediate steps must be taken enroll more teachers to make the teaching professions as at tractve to intelligent and ambitious young men and women as it a generation ago.

of 4o44 In the War of 1872 the little U S. Army lost SIT men while 1,72l died during the Mexican War The Spanish War cost only 345 soldiers dead
 The death figures, General Marshall points out are not a yardstick for measuring the intensity of fighting The Civil War, for instance saw thou sands die of wounds and disease - thousands who under medical ard attention would have returned well and strong, civilian life The Northern armies enlisted some 2667 900 during the fighting, while the South enrolled 100000 Thus the death ratio was far higher than in the last conflict, when the armies of the United States numbered more than l 000
 These figures can lead us to conclusion which is as surprising as the totals. It would seem even with all the modern weapons, that war is becoming safer at least for the in uniform. For the civ- ilian however the opposite is true. Warsaw Berlin, London Coventry and Hiroshima still bear mute tes timony that centers of civilian population, far from the battle lines can see greater havoc than troops serving in the front lines.

 A utilador for supplying steam and water is nearing completion with all pipes already in place. Three more carloads of materials and fixtures are expected this week

TREASON TRIAL FORECAST NOW
 FOR VAN pApEN
Arrest of Won SCha(ht Chal Ienged by German
 State Attorney

NUREMBERG, Germany, Oct, - The German Council of States an- nounced today in Stuttgart that Franz von Papen would be tried for high treason if the Allied Control Council permitted restoration of Germanys old treason laws.
 The possibility of the former ace diplomat, acquitted a week ago by the International Military Tribunal on war crimes counts, facing trea- son trial was conditioned also on his remaining in the American occupa- tion zone and on whether high German court has to be created with authority to deal with such cases" said Dr. Reinhold Meier, Minister President of Wuerttem- berg Baden, one of three States under U. s. control.
 Dr. Richard Schmid, State Alter ney of WuerttembergB Baden, chal- lenged today the legality of Hjalmar Schacht's arrest last night and de- manded that the former Nazi Eco homie Minister be released until he is convicted by a German denazifi- cation court.

RED AMBASShD0R PROTESTS DELAY
 BY CUSTOMS MEN

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. - T h e State Department is Investigating complaint by Soviet Ambassador Nikoli Novikov that he was treated discourteously by customs inspectors in New York last Friday.
 Undersecretary Dean Acheson confirmed at his news conference today that the Russian Ambassador had filed a protest.
 The envoy contended, Acheson said, that when he arrived from the Paris Peace Conference his treat ment was inconsistent with usual diplomatic courtesy.
 The undersecretary declined to make public the note of protest until a complete investigation has been made and a reply sent to the Russian Embassy. He said the de- partment is asking for statements from the persons involved.
 Novikov was reported to have complained that he was detained in the customs office at La Guardia Field for nearly an hour while in- spectors tried to persuade him to sign a statement that his baggage contained nothing illegal.
 In New York, Harry M. Burning, Collector of the Port of New York, said Novikov was not discourteously treated nor unduly delayed"
 There can be no criticism of the Customs Service in handling the Ambassador arrival" he said

ARMY DEATH FIGURES

General Marshall's recent report on World War II brings to light fact which most of us have over looked That U. s. Army deaths in the recent fighting were only slightly above the totals of the Civil War In the War Between the States Army deaths totaled 185 900: in World War II the figure was POLO
 At first glance the figures may surprise us, put when we stop to remember that every death in the Civil War meant the death of U. s. soldier, the toll comparatively may not large. However, Ii we study further we must be shocked by the tragedy of that earlier conflict The United States had but 35 100000 residents in 1865 In 1943 the estimated population was 143,000000
 World War II brought death into a great many homes in America. Most of us felt it in one way or another If it wasn't or husband 1t may have been a nephew a cousn-or may have been the boy who lived next door. Yet General MarshaIs report shows that the United States suffered but one death for each TOO of her population In the Civil War the rate was one death for each 200! Multiply by three or four national grief of the last four years and you will have roughly picture of the suffering which the Civil War brought to this nation.
 World War I took 5O,51O soldiers lives; the Am erican Revolution during it's 80 months took the lives

RROTESTANTS OPEN MORAL FILM DRIVE

NEW YORK. (P)-The Protest ant Motion Picture Council has developed plan to give organ ized support to movies of good moral quality.
 pr. Daniel A. Polling, editor of the council, explained that in ad- dition to appraising pictures as in the past, members of various Pro- testant churches would be asked to organize active box office SUD- port for better films.
 "This is the constructive Amer ican answer to un-American po- litical censorship" pr. Polling said. He added that the council would form committee to work with the producing companies in suggesting suitable films and as- surfing the producers of the coun- Fcil's backing for such films.

NO MEETING OF C
 BE HELD TOMORROW

Owing to the strike involving the Baranof, there will be no meeting of the Chamber of Commerce to- morrow but the Executive Commit tee is meeting this afternoon with A. l.. Ganson, manager of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, dis cussing the necessity of an inn mediate comprehensive development program for the Territory of Alas ka.
 Ganson'S Chamber of Commerce experience has been in the line of resource development in the state of Washington since 1889, having come to the Seattle organization in l94l from the Pullman Chamber of Commerce. He is well acquainted with the activities of smaller Chambers of Commerce.
 The Alaska Department was as signed to him upon the resigna- tion of Foster L. McGovern, who has worked closely with him dur ing the past year. He has a most urgent personal desire to assist in building a greater Alaska. He is in contact daily with persons going to and coming from the Territory Ganson will stop at all of the large cities and as many smaller ones as possible while in the Territory.
