ON HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH The Commerce and Industry Association of New York says that the trouble with high school graduates these days is that they cannot spell, their arithmetic is unreliable and they expect too much pay and too rapid advancement. The Association bases its opinion on graduates em- ployed by New York concerns. In fairness to the grad- uates, the Association says that most graduates make up in willingness to work what they lack in adequate school- ing. However, better spelling and more reliable arithmetic would be desirable, according to the report. Today’s high school graduates cannot be blamed too harshly for expecting high pay and too rapid promotion. Generally speaking, they have come along during an era of good times and high prosperity. The tragedy of their situation is that they do not yet, in most cases, know the real value of a dollar and will have to find it out the hard way, at a later date. The graduate of today has never known depression, and we hope he never will, but the chances are that one day he will experience one and it will be at this time of his life that he learns the value of money. » “WIRED FOR SOUND” The Supreme Court recently upheld, five-to-four, the conviction of On Lee for selling a pound of opium. On Lee, who operated a laundry in Hoboken, carried the case to the Supreme Court because he objected to the methods used in obtaining his conviction, It seems that Chin Foy, an undercover agent, entered On Lee’s laundry “wired for sound.” On Lee charged that Chin Foy was a “stool pigeon” for the Bureau of Narcotics. Justice Robert H, Jackson, who delivered the majority opinion of the Court, dismissed the laundryman’s claim that the manner of obtaining evidence violated the search and seizure provisions of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. He said that the “small microphone in his inside coat pocket” did not make Chin Foy an intruder in On Lee's laundry The Supreme Court has, in the past, conceded that the use of informers, accessories, accomplices, false friends and other betrayals may raise serious questions of credibility in prosecutions. It is intersting to note that the Court voted by only a five-four decision to uphold the conviction of On Lee because of the use of a small micro« phone and antennae, which ran along Chin Foy’s arm. A Supreme Court decision reversing the conviction of On Lee would have eliminated the use of such devices in the future and would have crip /:d the efforts of law enforcement officers in varied actlvities throughout the country, If money grew on trees, the big corporations would probably own all of the trees.

When I was a kid, I thought that it was necessary to possess a hatchet and chop down a cherry tree to be elected ‘leader of the land.’ Later it became quite apparent that there was no chance for a guy un- less he was born in a log cabin and ran around barefooted in sub- zero weather. All of those requirements have changed in the last few years. The quickest way to get to be president nowadays is to announce that you don’t want the job. Didn't Rosevelt unwillingly seek his third term because there was no one qualified to replace him? MasArthur failed to get the job but he indicated his willingness to accept if a hundred and fifty mil- lion Americans got behind and pushed him. Eisenhower played the game in a coy manner but was finally in- veigled into accepting the Repub- liean nomination. Now Governor Stevenson fs using the same tactics with every ap- parent indication of success. The truth is, I think modern politicians have adopted this strate- gic approach from women. How many times has your dream- lady looked wistfully at a beautiful piece of jewelry and negatively sighed, “But I don’t want it?” The gallant man immediately responds by pawning his gold-capped teeth if necessary to buy the gem.

Prophet PRESS BARRIERS Sigma Delta Chi, a professional journalistic society to-which I be- long, is stressing as a theme for 1952 the following: “Elimination of press barriers. Make it known that freedom of in- formation concerns. the people’s right to know as well as the right of the press to publish.” The general public often does not appreciate efforts expended by newspapers to provide as much in- side news as possible. Officials, big and small, are wary about talk- ing—even on the weather. To get one fact it is often necessary to go to half a dozen people and sift the truth from their general state- ments. In Jacksonville this week, a city commissioner smashed a photo- grapher’s camera and abused him terrifically. Apparently he realized his mistake for the next night he made a motion to welcome all members of the press to commis- sion meetings. The “Fourth Estate” is respon- sible for much of the world's free- dom today. Without free news, the; United States could not exist as such. Yet more and more, attempts) are being made to circumvent such ireedom. This is partly due to) socialistic tendencies and partly to) the vast network of crime that seems to have taken such aj stronghold within our business and} Political circles.

Supporters of Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson—now somewhat less re- luctant to become the party stand- ard bearer than he has been before —carried the attack to 10 oppo- nents seeking the top nomination. The Mlinois governor’s legions were rolling swiftly forward, spurred on by two skirmish vic- tories Thursday night and early today over the combined forces of Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennes- see and W. Averell Harriman of New York. The Stevenson men were credited with bringing back into the con- - |vention fold bolt-threatening dele- gations from Virginia, South Caro- lina and Louisiana. They won a clear-cut, though Barrow-margin victory in keeping the delegates at work in a 14-hour session but they had to surrender finally and allow adjournment in the early morning hours because of what had all of the early ear- marks of a filibuster by the Ke- fauver-Harriman coalition. With the start of balloting only | a few hours a:vay, the Associated Press tabulation of known first- ballot standings was: Kefauver 2724 Stevenson 215 Sen. Richard Russell of Gerogia 207 Harriman 107% Others 247% Uncommitted 179% Needed to nominate 615% Working together in what they have styled a “liberal” combine which has attracted supporters of some other candidates, Kefauver and Harriman! took a 615 to 529 licking in efforts to prevent the 28-vote Virginia delegation from balloting on presidential and vice presidential nominees. It was the first time such a coalition has been defeated on an important rollcall in a Democratic | convention since the early days of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The net result was to leave the “Don’t get panicky. It’s newspaper. It will be put a minute.” It was put out in about a. minute, but there was tense anxiety as the milling crowd was admonished labor union leaders told him he was too old at 74. Although John’ L. Lewis of the United Mine Work- ers urged him to reconsider, Bark- ley himself made no move in that direction. But Secretary of Labor Maurice Tobin, McCormack, Hennings and Sen. Earle Clements of Kentucky took the lead in the new Barkley drive. The re-entrance of the vice presi- dent added leverage to the stop- Stevenson movement, since votes for Barkley will come largely from pro-Stevenson areas. The vote on the Virginia seating test indicated Stevenson could car- ty off the prize anytime he could enlist Russell support behind him. Russell's backers had nowhere to go except to Stevenson or Barkley. Stevenson, who has insisted that he doesn’t want the nomination and is seeking only re-election as governor, showed more interest after his name formally had been placed in nomination. The governor watched on tele- vision while Gov. Henry F.
