BRADFN BOWS uUT

In November, 1945, State Secre- tary James F. Byrnes was nomin- ated to succeed himself as head of the board He declined, saying that the United States would soon appoint permanent, special dele gate to take his place. Whereupon the board elected Carlos Martins of Brazil as chairman The question of procedure. however still hadn't been settled to anyones satisfac- ton.
 During the past year, nine coun- tries, including the U. S., named special ambassadors to the board. When election time was drawing near again, a group of the Latin envoys got together secretly and agreed to seek @ showdown. They wanted to see if the USA meant what it said regarding rotation. Their theory was that if they of tered Braden the nomination and he accepted, their home govern mentS could then formally protest that the rotation agreement had been broken; if he refused. it would put the U. s. on record as favor ing recognition of that principle
 Braden, however, did not fall in- to the trap. Thanking his col leagues warmly for their cordial eXpre sion of confidence" he turned down the honor on the grounds that the United States considers that the Mexico City, resolution, relative to the chair manship, should now be made ef- fective"-in ether words, rotated.

 Although material shortages and the seasana1 nature of industry have affected job openings adverse ly, parlicularly during the past three months. job placements in that same period totaled 544. One third of these placements consisted q cf World War II veterans. This indicates the considerable extent to which the local office is being used by employer to secure quail lied workmen.

 Among occUpatiOnal groups rep resented are journeymen carpenters, painters, heavy du.y and Diesel me chanics, saw filers, heavy equip ment operators, bookkeepers, and general office workers. Also cooks. bakers, and waitresses. These ap- plicants will undoubtedly be en- ployed as soon as the springtime rolls around the long corner.
 Employment opportunities at present are largely confined to a few openings in the Aleutians for the Alaska Department (U. s. Ar my) for linemen, carpenters, heavy duty mechanics, bulk fuel storage operators, and electricians. These positions do not offer family hous- ing.

But there soon came about
tighter times when money was
less and less plentiful and
then finally the depression when
there was 10 money at all. The
wise folks say that it will be some
thing like that following this war,
so the fellows that's getting that
money had best stop throwing it
away and save it or put it to some
more useful purpose. As one fell
