Education
Port Jobs

Part-Time Jobs
More than four times as many boys
and girls of high school age work out
side of school hours now as did be-
fore the war.
The Census Bureau says there we're
100000 boys and girls aged IA TO II
who were both employed and en-
rolled in school last fall, compared
with only 100000 at the same point
in. 1910.
Nineteen of each 100 students in the
14-l7 age bracket worked last fall,
while in 1910 only four in 100 worked
while attending school.
A similar trend, though not as pro-
nounced, is evident in college ranks.
About % in each 100 college students
were employed last fall against 16 in
100 in 1940
The Bureau says there are two
causes for the increase in students
working part or all Of their way
through school. One is better job op-
portunities for inexperienced young
people. The other is carry-over from
the wartime campaign urging young
people to take part-time jobs as an
alternative to dropping out of school.
Recently, however, there has been
falling off in job opportunities for
inexperienced minors. Some educators
predict that graduates next month
will not fare so well for jobs as those
who finished in the earlier postwar
years.
The Census Bureau reports thai
38,877000 men workers aged 18 to Sd
have, on the average, completed 1Oz
years of school. The average schooling
for 16,0O6,000 women workers was
placed at III years.

The US. Air Force has high speed
jet bombers now, but they can carry

It has requested the aircraft industry
to produce a really long distance

CONGRESS: Truman Stands Pat Atomic Commissio

THE twilight in Congress on
i much of the Presidents "Fair
Deal" legislative program is train
ing the political spotlight ahead
to the 1850 elections.
Mr.. Truman has shown no dis
position to hedge his stand on any
key domestic issues merely to secure
passage of compromise bills. He is
operating on the theory that the ma
tons voters gave him a mandate in
1948. If Congress refuses to enact it,
the President is said to be ready to
appeal to the people in 1850 to give
him Congress that will.
This standpat attitude by Mr.. Tru-
man goes far to explain the ferment
on Capitol Hill. Administration lead
ers in both houses face heavy going
and they are getting no support at
the White House on proposed con-
cessions to pick up votes.
Prospects Are Slim
The prospect is for very little con-
troversial domestic legislation to be-
come law this year or next.
The labor controversy is typical.
The Administration wants to repeal
the Hartley Act and replace it
with a modified version of the old
Wagner Act. >.:
Speaker Sam Rayburn (D-Tex)
had one try at getting House approval
but failed. During that round, the
Administration bill was shelved and
the House nearly passed a measure
which would have kept most of the
TIL provisions on the books.
1t doesn't look now as though the
Senate will get around to debate on
labor for another month or six weeks.
When it does begin, there is certain
to be fireworks.
Split in Party Ranks
The once-solid backing which DEM
ocrats on the Senate Labor Commit
tee publicly gave the Truman labor
bill is crumbling. Last week Sen.
Hubert Humphrey D-Minn) said he
favored four amendments to the Ad-
ministration measure.

Trade
No Agreement Yet

NO SStSSHlSHN Tel
Sweden made vain effort for har-
-lnony last week at tlae-elosing meet
ing of the United Nations Economic
Commission for Europe.
The conference opened in Geneva,
Switzerland, three weeks ago in an
unusual atmosphere of east-west
goodwill but gradually became bitter
as Communist and western delegates
claShed over the European Recovery
Program and other aspects of reviv-
ing continental trade.
The final dispute was over the task
to be allotted to the commissions
new committee on revival of trade
between east and west Europe.
American and western European
delegates agreed the new committee
might assist economic recovery in Eu-
rope but resisted efforts by the Com
munist bloc to instruct it to foster in
dustrial development in east Europe.
The Swedish delegate tried to get
a compromise adopted instructing the
trade committee that development of
production and stimulation of trade
are two aspects of the same problem. "
Western delegations objected. Paul
r. Porter, the American representa-
tive, described it as unnecessary and
liable to lead to misunderstanding. "
The proposal was rejected 10 to Z
Sweden alone among the western
powers voted with the six communist
delegations.

In the Wings De CouIIe
Gen. Charles de Gaulle is iii favor
of future French-German alliance.
He made the suggestion last week at
a congress of his French Peoples
Party (RPF) il Paris.
(Which side will the Reich choose?"
he asked. Perhaps the east, perhaps
the west? In any case, it's interest is
not to accept the status quo, especial
ly when it results from a defeat.
Therefore, there is only one
hope: to envisage a new solution to
the problem. To envisage that per-
hapS one day there will be a real
entente between the French people
and the German people which will
solve the question. But let us make
clear that that involves conditions"
De Gaulle said the first condition is
that France should become strong
again so that it could be an equal
partner with the new Germany. re-
constituted in the Bonn constitution.
De Gaulle Waits
The wartime Free French leader
declared that in order to accomplish
this the French government, which
he called "absurd, impotent and
sterile" should be discarded and he
should be allowed to take power.
The present French government is
headed by Premier Henri Queuille of
the moderately right Radical Social
lists. 1t is a coalition of parties to
whom the idea of an entente with
Germany, as we'll as the idea of De
Gaulle's return to power, would un-
doubtedly be highly unpopular.
The RPF delegates supported De
Gaulles stand but they added that
France must not accept too soft a
policy toward the Germans, her age
old enemies.
Their motion said it would be
Childish to overlook the risk of ar
alliance between the Germanic ard
Slavic worlds" France should act, il
said, to remove this risk by leading q
movement to organize the western
nations politically to attract Ger
many.

The Russians failed dismally in

Both east and west have offered

strong central government in Ber-
lin,s withdrawal of all occupation

But the Germans have traditional
antipathy against Slavs. particularly
the Russians. Generations of Germans
have disliked and distrusted them.
Thousands of German war prisoners
still are in Russia. four years after
the end of hostilities.
And eastern Germans know at first
hand what it is to live under Red
Army rule. A fortnight ago, despite
heavy pressure, more than four mil

trouble occurs back at the trailing
edge where the air flow turns into a
bubbling motion which contributes
nothing to the lit.
Slotted Wing
One project, which may solve the
whole problem, is a wing with tiny
COOS of an inch) Sits cut into the
trailing edge of the wing. Some ex-
perts believe that if this deficiency
of wing can be overcome a plane

Applied to jet bomber, that would
mean it could take more fuel and fly
thousands of miles farther.
This improvement could mean
much to conventional engined bomb

Laugh OF Mental Fog

Laughing gas, as a new treatment
for mental illness, was reported at
the American Psychiatric Associa-
tion'S annual meeting in Montreal.
Two McGill University psychia-
triStS, DR.. c. Bos and DR.. H. Leh-
mann, explained some of the patients
who take the gas do wake up laugh
ing. Others waken in tears, some III
fighting moods.
The important thing about the
laughing gas treatment, they said, is
your dreams while under this anaas-
thetic. If you are mentally i'll, the
dreams usually are about what
troubles you.
The psychiatriSt talks about the
dreams and suddenly, sometimes. you
realize that what you thought were
real voices, or real troubles were
only dreams.
The pSychiatric association declared
that former Secretary of Defense
James V. Forrestal's suicide was the

Vermont Debtors

Vermont Debtors
A ccart test is in prospect for a
century = old Vermont law holding
three World War II veterans in Jail
for failure to pay civil judgments.
All three failed to pay judgments
ordered by courts as a result of sepa-
rate automobile accidents. They are
held under the "Close Jail Execution"
law enacted in 1903.
Gov. Ernest w. Gibson and the
Vermont Department of the American
Legion say they are unable to inter
cede because the cases are civil and
not criminal.
Under Vermont law, if court finds
a defendant cannot pay, it gives him
permission to take the poor debtors
oath and go free. In the past, defend
ants have been kept in Jail for at least
six months before being allowed to
take the oath.

David E. Lilienthal.
Immediate causes of the attack were
disclosures that some fashionable ura.
MUM had been missing and that ae
least one Communist had been award
ed an Acc fellowship for advanced
atomic study. But the roots of dissen-
sion go deeper.
Military VS.. Civilian
There had been strong pressure to
keep atomic energy under military
control as security measure. Lilien-
thai, a staunch advocate of civilian
control, was seated as chairman only
after bitter confirmation battle in
the Senate. Many Congressman re-
sent being asked to authorize millions
of dollars year for activities into
which they are forbidden to poke.
Lilienthal, in effect sounded the
"hands off" signal last week while
testifying before the Joint Congress
sional Atomic Energy Commission.
Each year the Acc provides 500
scholarships for bright young physi-
cists in atomic research. To avoid any
suggestion of interference, the Acc
turned over selection of the awards
to the National Research Council. a
subsidiary of the National Academy
of Sciences, a professional, non-polit-
ical body, which did not question the
politics of any candidate.
Interference Is Dangerous
Lilienthal admitted to Congressman
one of the appointments had been
a mistake but he stoutly defended the
practice of independent selection. He
said the federal government never
should be allowed to interfere in ed
ucation or it might bring about po-
litical RECOMMENDATION of scientists as
in Russia.
Congressman disagreed. Sen. Jo-
seph G. O'Mahoney said the issue was
whether Acc should use public funds
to educate Communists. The Senate
House committee decided to get an
outside expert" to doublecheck se-
curity precautions.
Acc witnesses revealed other things

billion dollars, decided to call in

TheodoSius Dobzhansky, Russian
born professor of zoology at Column

will prove a ''nlonstrous error"
The purge was sponsored by Tro-
finn D. Lysenko, head of the Lenin
Academy of Agriculture. Dobzhansky,
once a lecturer in genetics al the
University of Leningrad, called the
views of LySenko "naive."
"Lysenko'S activities will, in the
long run, result in incalculable harm
to agriculture in the U.SS.R.," said
Dobzhansky. "He has wrecked the

Engle's pocketbook was found in a
bedroom with small amount of
change in it.
Neighbors told officers the vic
