ON HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH

The Commerce and Industry Association of New
York says that the trouble with high school graduates
these days that they cannot SPELL their arithmetic is
unreliable and they expect too much and too rapid
advancement
The Association bases its opinion on graduates en-
ployed by New York In fairness to the grad
uaes the Association says that most graduates make up
in willingness work what they lack in adequate school
ing However better spelling and more reliable arithmetic
would be desirable according to the report
Todays high school graduates cannot be blamed too
harshy for expecting high pay and too rapid promotion
Generally speaking they have along during era
good times and high prosperity The tragedy OF their
situation is that they do not yet in most know the
real value of dollar and will have to find it out the hard

chances that day he will experience one and it
will be at this time of his life that he learns the value of

BILL cIeB

There seems to be a new note in
how to become president. When
was a kid, l thought that it was
necessary to possess a Ratchet
and chop down a cherry tree to be
elected leader of the land Later
it became quite apparent that
there was no chance for guy un-
less he was born in a log cabin
and ran around barefooted in SUBJ
zero weather.
All of those requirements have
changed in the last few years.
The quickest way to get to be
president nowadays is to announce
that you don't want the job.
Didn't Roosevelt unwillingly seek
his third term because there was
no one qualified to replace him?
MasArthur failed to get the job
but he indicated his willingness to
accept if hundred and fifty mil
lion Americans got behind and
pushed him.
Eisenhower played the game In
a coy manner but was finally in
weighed into accepting the Repub.
lican nomination.
Now Governor Stevenson Is using
the same tactics with every ap-
parent indication of success.
The truth is, | think modern
politicians have adopted this strate-
gic approach from women.

New York.
The Stevenson men were credited
with bringing back into the con-
vention fold bolt-threatening dele
cations from Virginia, South Caro-

They won a clear-cut, though
narrow-margin victory in keeping
the delegates at work in a 14-hour
session but they had to surrender
finally and allow adjournment in
the early morning hours because
of what had all Of the early ear

balloting on presidential and vice

It was the first time such a
coalition has been defeated on an
important rollcall in a Democratic
convention since the early days
of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The result might presage a
swing toward more conservative

emerges as the winner-especially
if he gets Southern support in the

The 615 to $50 vote to let the
Virginians keep their seats came
after two hours of the widest kind

The Kefauver- Hartman combine
had racked up an original GIL to

out, but Stevenson supporters went
to work and state after state asked
to change its vote or have its

Previously, Gov. Battle had told
the delegates Virginia had no in-

Jack Bell Writes PreIiminaries To Nomination Bal

Texas-gavelled the pledge-balking
South Carolina and Louisiana dele

they had been stricken when they
refused to take the loyalty pledge.
The net result was to leave the
three delegations in a position to

Then, if they didn't like the
eventual nominee, they could 60
home and name their own candi'
date for President in state con.
ventions. All they appeared to be
pledged to do, as Gov. James f.
Byrnes of South Carolina explained
it to the delegates, was to give
the national party a place on their
state ballots.
Byrnes was in the center Of an
unscheduled bit of excitement
when a newspaper caught fire near
him while he was speaking. Tele-
vision viewers saw Peter ]. Clo-
herty. Boston. an assistant SER
geant of arms, seize the micro
phone from Byrnes and shout:
Don't get panicky. It's only q
newspaper. II will be put out in
a minute"
1t was put out in about a minute,
but there was tense anxiety as
the milling crowd was admonished
not to panic.
Backers of the Illinois governor
were confident he could hold the
South in line and apparently were
counting on some Of the delega-
tons to 60 his way if Russell
faded.
But Sen. Thomas Hennings of
Missouri and q strange array of
cohorts threw up something Of
a roadblock against any Dixie
swerve to Stevenson by re-entering
the name Of Vice President Allen

The heart-sore Barley quit the
race early in the week when some
labor union leaders told him he
was too old at "a. Although John
L. Lewis of the United Mine Work
ers urged him to reconsider, Bark.
ley himself made no move in that
direction.
But Secretary of Labor Maurice
Tobin, Mccormack, Hernings and

dent added leverage to the stop.

for Barley will come largely from
pro-Stevenson areas.
The vote on the Virginia seating
test indicated Stevenson could car
ry off the prize anytime he could
enlist Russell support behind him.
Russell's hackers had nowhere to
go except to Stevenson or Barley.
Stevenson, who has insisted that
ne doesn't want the nomination
and is seeking only reelection as
governor, showed more interest
after his name formally had been
placed in nomination.
