MINNEAPOLIS (UPI) June college graduates will have jobs
waiting for them if they are scientists, engineers, accountants or
teachers, according to a report of the Northwestern National Life
Insurance Company, which has just received the preliminary re
turns of its 26th annual survey on college employment.
Prospects for business and liberal arts graduates also look bright,
but they, cannot be accurately-appraised yet, the report said. It
was explained that many employers have been delaying decisions
on how many new personnel they will hire until they can jude
the vigor of the current business upswing. They expect it to take
definite shape within the next 30 or 60 days.
DEFENSE INDUSTRIES are hiring more persons than a year
ago. But many non-defense industries are slower in their commit
ments. Hiring in the business and banking field is about what it
was in 1960. . . v , - - - - ' -
Engineers can expect to earn from $525-560 more to start than
they did last year; accountants between $450-500; and liberal arts
and business students $75-100. There are, .as there were last year,
many more accounting jobs than applicants to fill them.
Here is a sampling of early-season comment from college place
ment offices from coast to coast:
, Columbia University reported that the prospects looked good,
but. that-five per cent fewer companies were recruiting this year
as: compared with last year, starting salaries averaged slightly
higher than in 1961, and accountants were in heavy demand.

Another Nuremburg?
The refusal of Israel's Attorney
General Gideon Hauser to grant
safe conduct to four former Nazis
who were called by the defense to
testify on behalf of Adolph, Eich
mann is tinged with the same kind
of thinking that surrounded the
Nuremburg trials after .WW .II.. .
The threat that any of the. four
who set foot on Israeli soil would
be arrested and tried as war crimi
nals could. damn Eichmann before
all testimony is heard.
That Eichmann - is guilty : of
hideous crimes against the Jewish
people is almost beyond doubt. But
so long as the faintest shadow of
doubt remains, Attorney General
flauser's decision is in conflict with
the principle of true justice ,
This latest action on the.part of
the Israeli Attorney General
raises once again the question of
whether of whether, the court is
motivated by an admirable desire
for justice, or by a base desire for
revenge. ,
The world needs a little remind
er that the Nazi regime was moti
vated by horrible aims, and that
Eichmann is one of history's vil
est criminals.
Another Nuremburg is not need
ed to keep this fact before us.
An Appeal To Honest Democrats
Charles R. Jonas is the man that
the people of the tenth district
have chosen as their representa
tive to Congress for five consecu
tive elections.
He has proven himself an able
and respected legislator, and has
held his own even against young
Dave Clark, himself a man that
cannot be bemeaned. He has rep
resented his constituency so well
that he has managed to pull votes
from normally Democratic - voting
citizens, even against such ardent
opposition as r(epresentedby Clark.
It is unfortunate that Charley
Jonas is not a Democrat the party
could use such a man. But he is
not a Democrat, and a Democratic
bloc in the General Assembly has
seen fit to damn him for this over- .
sight.
Apparently operating under the
theory that Basil Whitener of Qas
ton could win an election against
Jonas, a group of sour-grape Dem
ocrats have designed a bill where
by heavily - Democratic Gaston
would be traded into , the tenth
district at the exclusion of Meck
lenburg, which has heavily favor
ed Jonas in past .voting.
? Getting Mecklenburg, with its
Republican vote from Charlotte,
out of the tenth district tallying,
could open the way, for a Demo
cratic victory with Whitener car
ryying the banner.
We personally are doubtful that
Whitener could defeat Jonas even
with the added advantage of a
gerrymander. , , .
But whether he. could or not is
of less importance than the real'
issue, which is whether the;itenf '
eral Assembly will pass such an
odorous bill. We have confidence
Democrats than dishonest, and feel
fairly sure that the bill will be
defeated... -.-.
. If ; it isn't, then . a tot of fauS;
minded Democrats are going to be
sorely disappointed to find that
honest representation has been un
dermined by a contemptible piece
of legislation.
We hope that we don't have to
subscribe to the adage that a poli
tician is an ass upon which every
one has set except a man.

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA said there was less demand from
heavy: industry this year ithan ; last but that more small companies
have begun recruiting. Engineers and accountants were reported
to be in heavy demand,, but the school of business said early job
offers were ,20 per cent fewer than at the same time last spring.
The University of California at' Los Angeles reported that more
small companies -were "interviewing, especially in the electronics
field, than had last year. . -f
The university said the actual number of job offers were slightly
fewer than at this time last spring, due mainly to greater selectivity,
but that overall prospects for the June class were good.
It was noted that there was a. continued demand for Ph.D's and
masters in anthropology, and in other social sciences.
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA said it was "operating at
our capacity limit" of 500 recruiting companies, but not averaging
as many jobs per company. Engineering demand was reported
equal to last year and as many or more jobs were being offered
by general business.

No doubt it is exasperating to
answer the phone all day long and
quote bus schedules to inquiring
students, but we wonder if this is
sufficient excuse for the brusque,
insulting vomit of . words that ..in
variably jumps from the telephone
when someone calls the local bus
station to find out the departure
time of one of their be-chromed
cattle cars.
And isfc it sufficient excuse for
hanging up on a caller right in the
middle of a sentence,- as has hap
pened to some students?
We suggest a tranquilizer.

xGerman, approval, of his program
for"' strengthening NATO. U.S.
allies generally like his calm and
non-belligerent, but firm, ap
proach to dealing with Soviet
Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev.
But a bigger test comes when
he meets Charles de Gaulle next
month to try to persuade the
French president to abandon his
present policy of non-cooperation
with NATO and the United Na
tions. And he will be meeting
vith a De Gaulle beset by grave
new problems of his own..
CONGO, LAOS, and Cuba pro
vided immediate tests of Ken
nedy's mettle in international af
fairs. He won at least temporary
success when a firm U.S. stand
against Soviet attempts to wreck
United -Nations effort in the
Congo won support of majority
of. Asian and African countries.
The final outcome is still unpre
dictable. Kennedy's firm support . pf the
royal Lao government against
further.. Communist military in
roads, . presumably backed with
force if necessary, won a pause
in fighting and enabled the Brit
ish, to undertake diplomatic ef
forts. The situation had deteriorated
so far that Kennedy felt he would
have to settle for a coalition gov
ment giving pro - Communists
some representation.
.
THE ANTI-CASTRO invasion
of Cuba presented a delicate
problem in, which Kennedy had
to make clear the United States
was not intervening but support
ed the aims of the invaders.
His blunt reaffirmation, of U.S.
intention to block Soviet inter
vention was an effort to show the
problem as a ; Communist threat
to the hemisphere. . .
On more quiet fronts, the ad
ministration pursued programs
aimed; at - strengthening relations
with new African nations, in
creasing Latin; American aid and
stimulating more Western aid to
underdeveloped areas.
National Defense
CHARLES CORDRY
' .' I . .-. . .
The; Defense "Department, in
the words of .Kennedy's, March 28
budget message, is ,; embarked on
a ''fresh, clear course for pur se
curity in 3 time of rising dangers .
and persistent hope." Many ob-
Kerane
servers call the fresh course only
an elaboration and acceleration of
Eisenhower defense policies.
In the missile field, the new
defense team, found that there
was no meaningful missile gap-
that is, a Russian numerical su
periority which. would tempt the
Reds to attack., They ; concluded,
as did their ; predecessors that
there, was not gap in U.S. ability
to deter glqbal war. (, i j
The new program as revealed
so far, is based on two principles:
There rnust , be a rataliatory
force so well .protected that it can
ride out an attack on this coun
try and then devastate Russia.
First JM0 Day
THE NATION'S conventional
forces must be strengthened. This
is intended to reduce the , num
ber of situations in which nu
clear weapons might have to be
used. : - .- . f . --
The administration appears
also bent on developing guerrilla
warfare forces in this country
and helping other countries to do
the same to combat subversion
and Communist guerrilla activities.
The first new moves were to
increase retaliatory forces and to
make them less vulnerable. The
Pentagon proposed 29 Polaris
missile submarines, 10 more than
the Eihenhower administration
had scheduled. . ., . ;
It planned increases in Minute-4
man missiles for basing in under
ground sites.. : It jstepped. up . re-,
search i on the bomber-carried
Skybolt t missile. And it planned
to keep: half the Strategic Air
Command's bombers , on 15-min-'.
ute alert for take-off instead of.
the present one-third.
'
ON THE CONVENTIONAL
arms and limited war issues, jet
transports were ordered for the
Air Force to haul Army forces
to trouble spots quickly. : Funds,
were asked for modernizing Navy
ships and for a modest increase
in procurement of conventional
weapons. :
While the administration asked
Congress to appropriate more
than $2 billion above the Eisen
hower budget, only $650 million
would be spent in fiscal 1962. The
defense spending total is now
projected at $43.8 billion in fiscal
1962, the biggest in history, ex
cept in World War II.
Agriculture
BERNARD BRENNER .
OuU i a "i's'J V '' ' '
The Agriculture Department
has pumped hundreds of millions
of dollars into the farm ecdnomf;
- in three; months. . t
But this is intended to "be just
' the : beginning of a broader as
sault on the problems of mount
ing farm surpluses and declin
ing farm. income. The adminis
tration has sent Congress its pre
scription for a long-range change
in the farm economy. This is a
new system for developing pro
grams to adjust farm production
to the market.
The administration bill would
authorize the secretary of agri
culture, working with farmer
committees, to develop new con
trol and price support programs
on a crop-by-crop basis. The
plans would go to Congress for
review. Those which did not in
volve controls could go into ef
fect unless vetoed by either
House within 60 days.
Control plans could go into ef
fect only if they won further ap
proval by two-thirds of the farm
ers voting in a referendum.
' BEFORE SENDING that plan
to Congress, the administration
won : passage, of an emergency
bill' to raise' 1961 price supports
ifor corn and other feed grains.
The bill was designed to cut feed
surpluses by requiring farmers
who want supports to cut acre
age in return for land-retirement
payments.
The boosts in feed grain sup
ports were coupled with admin
istrative .action to increase farm
income . by raising supports for
other major products including
milk, cotton, rice, peanuts, say
beans, flax, and dry beans.
To give farmers springtime
cash, the administration tapped
reserves to increase federal farm
credit funds, and eased credit
regulations.

. Dear Frank McGuire:
You have been slapped down,
but you are not crushed. You
still have the many wonderful
' qualities that have brought pride
and fame to yourself and to the
University of North Carolina.
Stay with us and use those quali
ties and you will bring greater
pride . and fame to you both.
. You don't have any enemies at
the University, You have many
friends : who grieve over your
heart aches, but who also believe
that you can rise above them and
give all of us poor mortals a
"profile in -courage."
After listening to a re-broadcast
of your "Last Lecture" on
Tuesday night, I am sure you
have the priceless spiritual quali
ty to , keep on keeping on at
Chapel- Hill. r. -

shine forth and glow.

Perhaps The Editor
Holding Wrong Job
April 28, 1961
I am writing this letter to as
sure the students of the Univer
sity of North Carolina that they
are a part of a unique college
newspaper. Where else can a
newspaper editorialize in favor
of a "good" honor system and yet
not abide by it?
I am referring to the editorial
of Friday, April 28, in which Mr.
King excuses the efforts of the
administration to coerce students
into allowing the city police and
University officials the right to
search their homes in quest of
University property.
I, IN ALL MY innocence, took
the notice that "letters to the
Daily Tar Heel Forum , are al
ways welcome contributions, as
an integral part of academic
freedom," to be a complete
statement. Now I realize that it
is to be understood that the Dean
of Student Affairs' office will be
contacted whenever the letter
involves a controversial subject,
concerning the administration of
this school.
, The apparent purpose of this
contact is to receive council on
the most effective means of
squelching the impact of the let
ter in question before it is print
ed. Perhaps my former letter
concerning the fact that the right
of individuals against search and
seizure was being ignored did not
seem as important to Mr. King as
his freedom from administration
pressures. However, if this is the
case, Mr. King is holding down
the wrong job.
I HAVE ENDEAVORED to
write this letter in such a way
that Mr. King will not be forced
to take up the valuable time of
the Dean of Student Affairs. As
it stands, there are those of us
not fortunate enough to be on the
faculty or editors of "newspapers"
who feel that, due to the three
day wait for appointments, this
office is not as effective as it
could be in areas other than the
Daily Tar Heel.
JAMES R. L. POWERS
Mr. Powers:
Your assumption that wc
contacted the administration is
totally incorrect. -This news
paper has never found it neces
sary to get administrative okay
before going to press. We call
the turn as we see it, and will
continue to do so as long as
we are given that privilege. If
Dean Henderson sees fit to
contact us on any matter, his
counsel is welcome, as is any
one's hou?et?er ridiculous it
may be. Even yours.
