JOB OUTLOOK:
Reffar far Grade

St66S
With starting salaries holding
firm at last years record high
levels, signs Of a last-minute pick
up in jobs for the mammoth 1949
class of college graduates were
showing up, according to an an
nual employment survey by the
family economics bureau of North
western National Life Insurance
Company
Although two-thirds of the 1873
colleges and universities covered to
date find their total employment
calls all the way from slightly to
"disappointingly" below 1948.
schools reporting in the final week
of the survey have shown a much
better ratio, the summary says.
Approximately half OF the late re-
sponses report their record of job
offers to date as equal to or slight
ly above 1913 experience.

turbed by the February-March
slump, but the later pickup has

university also reports that demand
faded in February and March, but
''as of the past six weeks it has
begun to develop beautifully" Uni
versity Of Nebraska's college Of
business administration notes a
stronger employment demand In
the last ten days. But Duquesne uni
versity at Pittsburgh reports,
"Calls In general are less than in
1913 except those for sales person
mel which have increased" ]
Boston university says job offers
are z per cent fewer than last year;
Ohio State finds about the same
number of employers represented
on the campus this spring. but
each firm taking fewer men. Yale
university has recorded more EN-
ployment calls than as Of q year
ago.
FIVE out of every six schools
listed in the survey report starting
salaries to be as high or higher
than last year. Prevailing range Of
offers is from 5000 to $275 per
month for business administration
and liberal arts seniors, and from
$225 to 1925 for engineering grads,
with exceptional men getting still
higher offers. Illinois Institute Of
Technology reports: 1.-THE class of
s75 engineers graduating January
29, 1949. averaged $3.50 per month
for a basic 40-hour week; this is
the highest average salary Of any
class in history"

ideals is the elimination of dis

1igion. or national origin, so that
all Americans may enjoy equali-

Dear Mr.. Wilkins:
I am pleased to send greet
ings to the fortieth annual con-
ference of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People in session in Los
Angeles, California. In the forty
years you have been working on
problems, the solution of which
is vital to the growth and con-
tinued strength of our nation,
you have seen many periods of
stress when our people have been
confronted with challenges re-
curing their best efforts. We are
in such period today. The full
force of postwar problems all
over the world is upon us. The
domestic scene is a reflection of
the stresses and strains abroad.
Our greatest hope for success in
meeting these situations lies in
the strength and unity of our peo-
pie behind the ideals which go
to make our nation.
One of these ideals is the eli
mination of discrimination based
upon race, religion or national
origin, so that all Americans may
enjoy equality of opportunity to
achieve the best under our sys-
tenn. Only in this way can de-
mocracy survive. My views on
this question are well known. /
have endorsed the objective, and
I have reiterated that the FEEDER
al Government must lead the way
in the attack upon these evils.
Some action has been taken to
ward implementation of non-
discrimination policy in the Ma
tional Military Establishment, and
a beginning has been made in
the area of employment in the
Federal Government itself. / have
submitted legislative proposals to
the Congress looking toward es-
tablishment in law of the recon-
mendations of the Presidents
