Crane Favors
55-Cent Law
For Employees
CHARLOTTE, Feb.. 22 iJ?i State
Labor Commissioner Frank Crane
spoke out strongly today in favor
of a 55-cent state minimum wage
law.
He also criticized employers pay
ing below that leveL :
Addressing the . Mecklenburg
County Women's Legislative Fo
rum, Crane said, "Such a law
would benefit ISorlh Carolina by
increasing our per capita income,
which is fourth from the bottom of
he list among the states."
He added that "the 55-cent hour
y minimum is not high enough to
ii'i'ect any business establishments
adversely."
In giving his views on wage min
Imums, Crane quoted the late For
est H. Shuford, whom he succeeded
is commissioner. Crane said Shu
ford stated:
" 'I would be most happy to see
he wages of North Carolina's low
est paid working people raised to
a decent level by voluntary action
md without recourse to legisla
tion. " 'During the last 14 years, how
ever, I have observed that our
emergence from a period of severe
depression into a period of higher
orosprity has not rsulted in a
if ting of the wage levels of our
'owest paid workers to a point
t which they are provided a decent
minimum to sustain life, health,
efficiency and good citizenship.
" 'Upon the basis ol long ob
ervation, exerience, and much stu
dy of this matter I have been forc
ed to conclude that we have a mi
lority of employers who will com
tinue to pay the very lowest wage
which the traffic will bear, ir
respective of the extent to which
heir businesses prosper.' " Shuford
died last year.
Crane based his talk on the
'.heme that "Rosie the Riviter Went
to River Rouge and Hasn't Come
Back." He said women make up
35.6 per cent of the factory labor
rorce in this state, compared to
only 32 per cent before World
War n.
Two results of this directly afr
fecting women, he added, are that
wage averages are slightly re
duced and that men are taking
-ver more and more duties in the
home.

Israel Alumni
Offer Grant
For Summer
The Israel Workshop Alumni
organization of New York Uni
versity is offering, for a second
consecutive year, a tuition schol
arship for summer study and travel
In Israel.
The award is made on the basis
:f scholastic achievement, charac
ter, financial need, and desire to
oromote American-Israeli friend
ship and understanding. Scholar
hip money is contributed by for
ner participants in NYU's annual
.Vorkshop in Israel. '
Jack Mandel, chairman of the
group's scholarship committee, said
in his announcement that the win
ner will travel this summer with
the seventh NYU Workshop for
American teachers,, students,, and
social workers.
The Workshop is, designed to
provide first-hand study of Is
rael's language, literature, edu
cational system, governmental and
cultural institutions, and way of
life.
Applications for the scholarship
must be made before May 2. They
should be addressed to Jack Man
del at the Israel Workshop, 2
Washington Square North, New
York 3, N. Y.
shows that of the, members of
that Class who responded to ques
tionnaires, the men are earning an
average salary of $5,200, the wo
men, $3,000, A total ' of 411, or
40 per cent of the 1,053 sent out,
replied to the questionnaire.
Director Galloway ss&d mem
bers of the class replying "hold
responsible positions amenable to
their interests and training, re
ceive appropriate remuneration
and feel "that their college edu
cation has made this possible."
Out of the more than 400 alum
ni and alumnae replying, the
survey shows 214 still residents
of this State, and 173 of the total
group continued their formal ed
ucation since receiving a bache
lor's degree.
The questionnaries revealed
that 202 of the 333 presently em
ployed are working in fields close
ly related to their college ma
jors, with the following types of
jobs most frequently listed: sales
and retailing, accounting, teach
ing, self-employment, insurance
and science.
Emerging from college with a
large crop of post-war graduates,
and entering a "rather tight, job
market,", the forty-niners have
generally achieved financial suc
cess in the past six years.
; According to survey statistics,
the men of the class of '49 are
now an average of 29 years old,
75 per cent of them are married
and they have 1.7 children each.
Jobs held by the 303 men pres
ently employed "run the gamut
Mnu'missionary priest in.. the, Can
al Zone to public rlations mana
ger for a division of one of the
nation's largest companies."
RELATED
Over 60 per cent hold jobs
closely related to their major field
at the University, Director Gallo
way said, which is in line with
trends of placement in recent
years.
For the 183 men who accepted
jobs during the first two years
after graduation the survey shows
starting salaries ranging from less
than $2,500 to $6,000. The low
est salary, for the 303 now em
ployed, remains under the $2,500
mark, but the top salary mark
has risen to $8,000 giving an av
erage' of $5,200 per annum.
Director Galloway noted "an at
tempt was made to determine any
correlation between various ele
ments of the students' college
life with the one measurably ele
ment of vocational success sal
ary. "Unfortunately," he reported,
"from the data received, we can
not produce any evidence to sup
port predictability of financial
success from either grades or ex
racurricular participation."
Although none of the former
campus leaders reporting, such as
Phi Beta Kappa members or stu
dent government officers, have
lone poorly financially, he said,
'it is equally true that many C
.students and non - participators
are doing as well or better."
WOMEN
Sux-vey replies came from 65
women in the class, the great ma
jority having majored in liberal
arts. Although 71 per cent are
married, half of the 65 are still
working, "in jobs ranging from
ra3io copywriter to kindergarten
teacher."
A low percentage (less than 35
per cent) of the women's jobs
have been closely related to their
college major. Galloway attributes
this to the high number of liberal
arts majors, whose course relates
directly to few fields.
However, almost half the wo
men got the type of job they
most wanted, in comparison of
first jobs with vocational prefer
ence indicated before graduation.
"When the girls of '49 started
work," Galloway said, "they did
well to make $200 a month, while
men started at near $225. How
ever the. gills now average $2,700
$3,200 per annum."

& Whammy Bill
In Legislature
RALEIGH, Feb. 22 A bill re
quiring annual mechanical inspec
tion of motor vehicles reached the
Senate today while a measure to
restrict the use of " "whammy"
sped detection equipment shuttled
from one House committee to an
other. Sens. Clarence Stone of Rock
ing ham and Claude Currie of Dur
ham introduced the inspection bill.
Although Stone said it was not "an
administration bill," Gov. Hodges
and the Motor Vehicles Depart
ment have endorsed mechanical
inspection as an aid to highway
safety.
Motor Vehicles Commissioner Ed
Scheidt has expressed strong op
position to the House bill' which
would require the State Highway
Patrol to use its electronic speed
detection devices in full view of
passing motorists.
ARGUMENT
Opponents have attacked the bill
as a blow at enforcement of speed
laws. Supporters claim it would
clarify use of the "whammy."
The bill, introduced by Rep.
Thomas White of Lenoir, endPd up,
in the House Roads and Highway
Safety Comnittee after it had been
reported favorably from House Ju
diciary Committee 1.
Rep. A. C. Edwards of Greene
was filling in for Speaker Larry
Moore of Wilson when the bill was
reported. After a flurry of debate,
the House voted 70-38 against
sending it to the Roads Committee.
The mechanical inspection bill
would require inspection by July 1,
1956 and once a year after that
date.
