EMPLOYMENT or
 MALE VETERANS
 IS AT HIGH POINT

Employment of World War II male veterans reached a new post war peak of 12,262 ,000 in April, Perry Faulkner, Chief of the Vet erans Employment Service, an- nounces.
 Faulkner said the latest Bureau of the Census employment esti- mates showed that six out of every seven male veterans were gain fully employed.
 of 14272,000 male veterans Of World War II accounted for, the Bureau of the Census lists l2,- 262,O00 as employed, 900 as un- employed, and 1,389,000 outside the labor force Faulkner said. Of those outside the civilian labor force, about 100000 are enrolled in colleges and universities"
 Student veterans are leaving colleges and universities in increas- ing numbers as they complete their educational courses. It is es- timated a minimum of 100000 vet erans will graduate or leave college in June," said Faulkner "Over the next few years jobs will have to be found for more than a million student veterans.
 Because of high employment, many of the veterans who are to be graduated this year will find jobs rapidly. A substantial number of veterans, however, will need job . counseling and placement assist ance in finding employment where they can utilize their training and experience This will be especially true in the case. of students who have taken general subjects or have specialized in fields which do not have large numbers of job op- enings" o.
 Faulkner said that while good results had been achieved in pro- grams for assisting disabled veter- ans to find employment, much re- mained to be done in this field.
 At the present time, slightly more than 95,000 disabled veterans are seeking jobs through local em- ployment offices" said Faulkner According to the Veterans Admin istration, about a quarter of mill lion other disabled veterans will enter the job market over the next few years as they complete voca- tional rehabilitation or training courses. It is vitally important that unemployed disabled veterans obtain jobs promptly when they enter the labor market, so they can build up job experience and seniority during this period of high employment"

Peak Of Business Activity Reached

WASHINGTON, (P) A dozen top businessmen believe the peak of business activity has been reached, if not already passed.
 But their two-fold prediction to government experts a week before the market break that (a) infla- tionary dangers are fading and Cb) a price downturn is ahead still draws a don't-be-too-Sure reaction from at least one federal econo- mist.
 The views of the corporation exeuctives were outlined at the first of a series of six meetings suggested by the government. There are being arranged by Prentiss Coonley and Ernest A. Tupper, private business consul ants.
 Reporting on the first session, Coonley and Tupper said one big farm machinery company forecast a general price drop "after the middle of the year. "Others in the group represented railroads, in surance, banking, merchandising and food processing. They predict ed factory building will decline from 1947 but home building will hold up as costs decline.

 Handbills circulated through out South Korea called for a gen. eral strike. Two notices delivered to It. Gen. John R. Hodge, U. s. occupation commander, warned of a three-day strike to force the comission's departure.
 The commission voted Friday to refer back to the U. N. little as sembly the problem of conducting elections preliminary to Korean independence. Russia's refusal to permit entry into North Korea has stumped the commission. The U. s. Army, which occupies South Korea, reported a 12-car train was derailed about 30 miles east of Seoul, and that tracks were damaged elsewhere in five places. Gauges, valves and drive rods were removed from 49 loco motives.

Aid Plan Will Help Britain Keep Gold

EDINBURGH, Scotland, (P - Sir Stafford Cripps hopes the Marshall plan will enable Britain to stop using up gold reserves, "all that now stands between us and disaster"
 "Even if, as we hope, we get aid under the Marshall plan, that will not re-establish our reserves" he said Saturday. "It will help us, we hope not to draw on them further; it will give us time in which to carry through those measures which are essential to our full re- covery."
 Britain has drained $618,000,0 ,0OO worth of gold out of the sterling areas reserves since September, in order to buy imports.

Might Consider
 Splitting Alaska Into Two States

WASHINGTON lP)-Chairman Butler R-NebD of the Senate in- terior and insular affairs commit tee believes the important ques- tion for Alaska is developing the Territory-not of statehood"
 Butler, who visited all sections of Alaska last summer with other members of a subcommittee, re- ported to his committee:
 During recent years, public discussion of Alaska by people in the AS states has centered chiefly on the question of whether the Territory should be granted state hood.
 Tt seems to be evident that the all-important question is that of developing the Territory not statehood.
 ''I suggest that if we center our attention on this problem of de- velopment, we shall make faster progress"
 The Senator said that south eastern Alaska will be ready for consideration as a potential state long before the rest of the Terri tory has reached that stage of de- velopment, particularly if the pulp development is as successful as is hoped.
 The Panhandle is almost con- pletely cut off physically from the rest of the Territory and already contains the bulk of the popula- ton. In that case, it might be ap- propriate to consider splitting the Territory in two"
 Butler said the value of Alaska lis strategic rather than econO- mic"
 He said that Alaska approaches Russia closer than any other part of the United States approaches any other major power.
 In the new strategic world of air attack and defense, Alaska is bound to be key point of nation
