Employment High

TiE recent announcement Of the Com

oOo,oOo people were at WORE III June, is
couraging. 1t is a new record for employ
ment in the United States
However, one should keep in mind-in
seeing such 4 felease--that the country is
steadily growing and that the employment
total, under normal circumstances, in
cfea$es every year. In other words, with
the rate Of population increasing by 800
600 every year, it is only logical that there
would be several hundred thousand more
Jobs each year than the last, if the economy
did not suffer a recession.
Therefore, new employment total may
or may not be Of great significance. The
fact that employmnt rose 1912. 900 in one
month is not as significant as it seems,
either, since June il the month in which
students graduate from colleges and enter
jobs which they had secured many months
before in most cases.

Star Series to Give ABCs
Of Virginia's Gray Report

A lot of questions have been raised by Virginia's
complicated Gray Commission plan designed to pre-
vent enforced indignation in public schools.
Starting tomorrow, The Star will publish a
series of articles to give its readers complete pic
ture of both sides of the issue before the first phase
Of the program is voted on January 9.
To understand Virginia's problem stemming
from the Supreme Courts May II, 1854, decision,
it is necessary to know the background, to trace
the Gray plans evolution and to read the arguments
for and against it's adoption.
The articles will be written by Alex r Preston
who has been covering the Virginia General As
sembly for The Star since 1940 In addition, The

whether the State constitution
