COURT RECORD CHANGED

New York = In letter dated December 28, 1946, addressed to Robert Patterson, Secretary of War, the NAACP, requested an immediate investigation of the "doctoring" of court martial record of Frederick Conrad. The letter pointed out that Conrad, a former Private in Company B of the 184th Engineer Combat Battalion, had been tried by a General Court Martial at Gutersloh, Germany, on July IA, 1945, for allegedly having committed a crime of rape upon a German woman. He had been found guilty as charged and sentenced to an unknown period of con- finement at hard labor.
 It was alleged in the letter that a phrase had obviously been added following the ori- ginal transcription of the rec ord of trial. It was stated that were it not for the inclusion of this added phrase, the convic- tion could have been sustained. It was charged that this doc toring of the. record was un- lawful, and was done with the intent to uphold a conviction which otherwise would have had to be reversed.
 The Secretary of War was urged to do all within his power to have the conviction reversed and to investigate the whole case in order to ascertain the individual guilty of this wrong full act.
 The record had been forward ed to the NAACP legal depart ment by the Pittsburgh Branch of the National Urban League for assistance in obtaining the release of Pvt. Conrad, who has at all times alleged his inno- | cence of this crime.

Children sHospitaI
Refunds TrickIe In;
Total About $4,000

The flow of electricity bill re-
funds signed over to the Children s
Hospital building drive by generous
citizens entitled to a maximum re-
bate of $3.50 today had dWindled to
a trickle of belated contributions.
The Potomac Electric Power. Co.
mailroom, swamped with coupons
for the past two weeks, handled only
13 yesterday, bringing the total to
13,465.
About $50,000 Added.
Hospital officials estimated the
Pepco drive would add about $5O,-
600 to their present total of ST.
223 1858. The original campaign
goal was set at $1,300,000, though a
hospital spokesman recently esti-
mated the planned building would
cost nearly 100000 at current
construction prices.
Spurred by the efforts Of other
youngsters to collect coupons from
their neighbors, a number of chill
dren have been holding street car
nivals during the last few days, and
turning the proceeds over to the
hospital drive.

BY G W. BABsoN

BABSON PARK, Fla, Jan. 8
Many letters have come to me
from young men and women all
over the country asking where the
best job opportunities will be
found in the next few years.
Several hundred years B. c. the
Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, said,
There is nothing more perma-
nent than change. His philosophy
still holds good - especially in
the world of work. Planning a wise
vocational choice is, in some ways,
like duck hunting. II you shoot
where the bird is at any given
moment, you may waste your am.
munition:. Job opportunities are al
ways in more or less of a flux due
to such factors as ID wars, (2)
boom periods, 60 depressions, a.
new inventions, 60 changes in PEG.
pies wants and desires.
Probably the best way to predict
the job opportunities OF tomorrow
is by looking at the trends of
yesterday. For example, accord
ing to the U. S. Bureau Of Census,
80 out of every 100 gainfully en-
ployed in 1910 were in agricultural
pursuits. Today only 10 out Of 100
are SO employed. This casualty,
Tor the most part, has been due to
archaeological development. Thirty
years from now small farms will
be used only for initiation hedges or
sustenance purposes. Food is des-
tined to be grown on great farms
as surely as shoes are made in
great factories.
Another illustration: professional
workers such as lawyers, engi-
neers, teachers and dentists in
creased from 4 per 100 in 1910 to 8
per 100 today. While opportunities
for professional workers will con-
tinue to expand, it is the belief of
experts that there will not be
enough jobs for all of the young
people who wish to enter these
fields. My advice is, therefore,
that unless you have a vital in
terest in and ar unusual aptitude
for the professions, you had better
consider other vocations where
there will be greater opportunities.
Since 1920 manufacturing and
mechanical industries have employ
ed more workers than any other
vocational groups. A figure of over
80 out OF every 100 has been reach
ed. I visualize that during the next
thirty years America, and even
Eastern Europe and Asia, are
headed for a trial of nearly COM
pletely mechaaized civilization.
Since, then, the essentials Of life
will be taken care of by machine,
the greatest vocational opportuni-
ties may be for machine builders,
machine repairers, machine tend.
ers and technologists.
Good Opportunities
These must complement the
manufa cturing and mechanical
industries. People need manufac-
tured goods. They have gone long
without them. Someone must trans
port these goods from the factory,
and someone must distribute them
to the consumer. The number of
workers involved in such pursuits
has more than doubled since 1870
and will, no doubt, continue to in
crease in the years ahead.
For young women the clerical
field will probably continue to Of

RETAIL MERCHANTS
TRAINING COURSE
STARTING JAN. 20

January 20 has been set as the
date for the beginning of two cours-
DC for Wilmington sales personnel
ana store executives, it was report
ed Yesterday by J. H. Carswell,
nresident of the Retail Merchants
association.
The training program, set for
the city recreation center, will be
conducted by W. G. Slattery, spec
ial instructor with the State De-
nartment of Public instruction.
Ten one-hour meetings will be
held from Monday through Friday,
until Jan. 81, with classes limited
to Is. The meetings will be held
from 9:15 to 1915 each morning
for Group I, and from 1920 to
1870 for Group II. Registration
blanks are available at the Cham
Der of Commerce offices.
The program is sponsored by the
Chamber and the public schools of
Wilmington. Members of the ad-
visory committee, which suggested
the two courses include c. l.. Har-
ris, G. F. Hunt, Jr., L. S. Alex
ander, E. H. Sutherland, and P.

fer the best opportunities. The num-
Der Of clerical workers more than
doubled from 1910-1945. These jobs
will continue strong in order to
keep up with the needs of business
and industrial, transportation and
distributive activities. But As
wage increases, young women must
do more and better work. "Any
glrl' cannot get jobs much long
er.
Advice to Job Hunters
1t is impossible to have a great
wal without paying the piper.
Sooner or later We are bound to
witness a business depression.
Therefore, whether you be labor
er. operator, craftsman, salesman,
administrator, or what, look for
work with (a) a company whose
earnings fuctuate a minimum be-
tween good times and bad times.
A toilet tissue manufacturer would
qualify, while a steel company
would not. Or CD work for a com
pany which furnishes a necessity
and whose business holds up dur
ing a depression. A fire insurance
company would qualify, while a
hotel would not. Or (c) work for a
growing industry such as chemical
companies. Or Cd work for a con-
Germ that can quickly mark up
prices in case of imitation. Chain
stores would quality; railroads
would not.
