JohPfospecisl&rigM 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.

May 4, 1961 Volume LXIX, Number 15 5 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. g - i - - 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. Foreign Policy STEWART HENSLEY - -- .. - - 1 ry A 1 ranquilizer 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.

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. Daily Tar Heel FjJrnm Ain't Life Grand? Yeah, Rockm' To The Editor: ' The Pine Room is probably one of the few places at: the Univer sity of North -Carolina which is more depressing t than the men's room in the library. . . It is incongruous and abhor rent that the music heard in the Pine Room (and in the Rendez vous Room) is - predominently rock and roll. There is enough of this trash on radio and in beer joints: around town without its having to be sponsored by the University of North Carolina. The University of North Caro lina brings us Byron Janis. That's a laugh. I sympathize with Mr. Allen's criticism. cf5 the audience, but Mr. Allen is confused. That inappropriate clapping he heard wasn't, applause at all that was rocking, man. - ; 1 1 The flag of the -United States of . America : was being lowered the., other afternoon. Did anyone stop and . come to attention? An other big joke. . ... The situation, exists, where the University does not care about the . student body, and the stu dent;.body does not care about anything except, having fun. And the saddest element of the situa tion is that Carolina does not own the, concession. i . . life's grand. Ain't life grand? Let's- go to the; beach 4his week-end -and get in a fight, and get drunk, and throw cans, and get some girls, and get them drunk, and have fun. It's funny, but a mined beach looks like any other beach until some poor slob steps on a mine. He didn't know it was there. .Yeah, life's grand. Ain't life grand? BEN MARKS An Open Letter To Coach McGuire May 2, 1961 . 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. - "Right where thou art, shine forth and glow. Right where thou art, t'is better so. -Serve thou the Lord with all thine heart Not somewhere else, but where thou art." OTELIA CONNOR 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. The Editor
