Many colleges hare reported that 85 to
more than 90 per cent of their senior stu-
dents have found jobs more than a month
prior to graduation. This is a most welcome
improvement over the situation of a few
years ago, when,even graduates of the high-
est scholastic standing found it next to im-
possible to obtain jobs. Scholarship is still
the qualification most sought by employers
of graduates, though personality, campus ac-
tivity and dependability are also desired.
1 he difficulties experienced by many who
were graduated during the depression should
not be allowed to shake the faith of anyone
in the value of higher education. While a
college degree is intended to be something
other than a bread ticket, the graduate
nevertheless is in an advantageous position
in oht a ining and keeping almost any kind
of job.
Washington, D. C.
From the Dallas News:
Employment prospects of this year s col-
lege graduating class appear better than
at any time since 1929 and are reported to
be only slightly less favorable than in that
peak year. This optimistic conclusion comes
from an analysis of questionnaires obtained
from 218 colleges and universities by Invest-
ors Syndicate of Minneapolis.
The most noteworthy recovery in oppor- i
tunities for college graduates is in engineer-
ing. business and teaching. Law, journalism
and investment banking are near the foot
of the list. One hopeful sign is in the re-
sumption of recruiting among college se- ’
niors by large industrial add business firms.
General Electric, DuPont, Proctor and Gam- j
ble, Westinghouse, the regional telephone
companies and other large firms are actively ,
on the lookout for the most promising col-
lege graduates this year.
Q How rapidly is the United
States treasury spending public
money? R B
A. The gover nment spends $726.50
every time a normal person takes
a breath.

Someone recently look the pain's to go

right.
■ So he gave vent to two new prophesies.
And what were they! That Hitler would

Hauptmann would never be executed.

Review
From the Houston Post:
Most people already have forgotten that
Harry S. New was once a senator from Indi-
ana Few recall that he was postmaster gen- i
eral in Harding s cabinet. But history will |
write him down indelibly as the father of
the airmail in the United States. inaugura-
tion of the airmail service during his-incum-
bency as postmaster general was the out-
standing event and service of his entire po-
litical career. ,
New as a senator nas of the conventional
Republican type of the era in which he serv-
ed. Likenmost of the other men that Harding
gathered around him lie was one of the “best
minds” primcipally in name only. He was not
widely accused of being a statesman of the
first order. But he saw the possibilities in
transporting the mad by air. and he support- ]
ed the plan to institute regular air services. 1

The airmail service, at first irregular and
not wholly dependable, has grown steadily
and is dependable as any other branch of
the service today. It has given the patrons
of the post office a rapid service undreamed
of until recent years. Out of that first ven-

The fight against a dictatorship
is not simply a fight between rival
extremist it is a par: of the
eternal conflict between those who
can detect a divine spark in human-
ity. and who want to bring it to
flame, and those who cannot.
Because it sets forth this conflict
with warm sympathy and deep. un-
perturbed wisdom. Bread and
if anything ought to be obvious in Wash-
ington these days, it is the fact that we have
got far beyond the point where we can safe-
ly let party polities have a hand in the nam-
ing of government servants.
That worked fairly well during our early
history, when the federal government's ma-
chine was relatively small and affected only
a few people. But to go on with it in an era
when Ate government is doing things which
affect every individual in the country is
sheer madness.
An illuminating case in point is the trouble
which is now besetting the Social Security
Board.
Rodney Dutcher pointed out the other day
that the senate voted into an appropriation
bill a harmless-looking little rider requiring
that all of the Social Security Board’s ap-
pointees who receive more than $3,000 a year
must be confirmed by the senate.
Now the Social Security Board is going to
have to administer the most tremendous in-
surance scheme ever conjured into being.
Upwards of 26,000,000 Americans are con-
tributing to the funds which it is to care for
and dispense. It will need a considerable
corps of lawyers, economists, insurance ex-
perts and executives, and it is to the interest
of the entire country that these people be
chosen on a basis of pure merit.
Practically all of these experts will fall
in the more-than-KtOOOa-year class. And
what the senate is trying to do is remove
them from the merit system and make po-
litical patronage out of their appointment.
It would be hard to think of a more com-
pletely indefensible bit of political chicanery
than this.
To the credit of the house of representa-
tives. it has voted to put all Social Security
Board appointee*—experts, lawyers and all
—under straight civil service rules. The dis-
puted bill is now in conference: and Dutcher
reports that the senate conferees, who are
resisting this effort to establish the merit
system, include such eminent statesmen as
Senators Glass of Virginia, Byrnes of South
Carolina, Russell of Georgia, Adams of Colo-
rado and Stein er of Oregon.
How is a stand like that to be defended on
any rational basis? The answer is clear:
it isn't. We could endure that sort of thing
50 years ago, when government employes
were comparatively few; we can't possibly
endure it now, when they are many and
have responsibilities Jvhich affect the lives
of all of us.
We have heard a good deal of loose talk
lately about the destruction of the American
form of government. It ought to be pointed
out that in the long run no surer way of de-
stroying it could be devised than to give it
ever-increasing duties—and compel it to
meet them with staffs of "experts" chosen
by party hacks for political advantage.
