On January 2, 1947, a new Con-
gress goes on the public payroll.
Hired by the voters in next
weeks election, the 80th Con-
gress has its work cut out for it.
There's the pile of unfinished
business left over by its predeces-
sors. And there's the blueprint
left by Franklin D. Roosevelt for
heading off economic chaos, poll
teal HooveriSm and the twin
menace of war and fascism.
In addition to the clear-cut out
line of what the people want and
need, there are large juicy sam

and the similar pattern taking
shape today.

Cambridge, Mass, April IS. (UP) A beauty contest has been set for May 18 as result of the acceptance by Billy Rose of a challenge by the Harvard Lampoon to prove-or eat his words that beautiful girls don't 60 to college.
 The New York snowman will pit six of his showgirls against six ''Iknowgirls" selected by the Lam poon editors from eastern college campuses. An impartial board of seven newspapermen-five from Boston and two from New York will decide the issue at the contest which is scheduled for Boston.
 A spokesman for the Lampoon said the editors were counting on girls from Smith, Wellesley. and Radcliffe to rally to their cause. If necessary an elimination con- test will be held to determine the collegiate choices. Each contestant will appear first in an evening gown and later in a bathing suit.
 One of the judges for the Boston contest will be Jack Gaver, United Press Broadway columnist, to whom Rose made his statement about the folly of looking for good-looks In Q college lecture hall.

Luckof Funds Held Serious

 Veterans Seek
 Vocational Training

Lack of funds to finance public vocational schools in the state was pointed out by Dr. Finis E. Engle- man, assistant to the state educa- ton commissioner, in an address before the Kiwanis Club yesterday afternoon at The Elton.
 Dr. Engleman said that Veteran Administration legal advisors have interpreted the CT Bill of Rights to apply to financing of education In private schools but not in public institutions. He said the interpreta- ton permits financing of private fly-by-night schools" but gives no recognition to public vocational un- dertakings.
 He said no provision was made by the last General Assembly for state funds for new vocational un- dertakings which might be of bene- fit to veterans.
 The speaker also said there was Q serious shortage of teachers in the state, pointing out that the birth rate rose sharply during the war and that @ large increase in grammar school enrolment was an- ticipated this Fall.

 Gen. Tu said at Peiping that the Nationalists were determined to take over in Manchuria, in keep ing with the Chinese Russian treaty, and the movement Of Na- tionalist forces in Manchuria con- tinued.

 Tu said the Communists were armed to a great extent with Jap anese weapons, and had large re- serves of arms and ammunition.
 How these weapons came into the possession O fthe Communists is not difficult to imagine" Tu said cryptically.
 He left Peiping by special plane for Mukden to resume his duties in Manchuria after an absence of two months because of illness.
 The military sources said the American equipped Chinese lst Army was advancing rapidly to the northeast after capturing Szeping- kai, which is 70 miles from Chang chun.
 They said the 1st Army is not nechanized and has only light are tillery, while Communists forces in Manchurta number 300,000 troops, some of them well-armed with Jap- enese equipment and occasionally capable of displaying heavy fire. power.
 Meanwhile, Nationalist defenders of Changchun were reported driven into a small pocket in the center of the city by overwhelming Commu- mist forces.
 Marshall, who sped back from Washington in an effort to hau the civil war which flared up in his absence, was met at the airport at 2:40 p. m. by leaders of the two con- tending parties, including Madame Chiang Kai-Shek and Madame Chou En-Lai, wife of the top Com Tnunist official here.
