RETIRES
S. L. Chesnutt
Chesnutt Retires
From Ag Position
The retirement of S. L. Ches­nutt,
head professor of agricultu­ral
education, was announced by
Auburn officials last week. Ches­nutt
will complete 30 years of
service with this institution on
June 30, the effective date of his
retirement.
As teacher trainer for Auburn
students preparing to teach vo-c
a t i o n a l agriculture in high
schools, Chesnutt has instructed
a total of more than 1200 grad­uating
seniors. During the past
ihree years his work has been
confined largely to teachers in ser­vice
who are earning master de­grees.
Chesnutt has the longest ser­vice
of any vocational Agricultural
teacher in the United States, an
informal survey by the American
Vocational Association showed re­cently.
He began teaching in 1900,
,the same year he graduated, from
•the University of Tennessee. Two
years later, he began his teach­ing
carrer in agriculture at the
Summer School of the South,
Knoxville, Tenn.
Taught at Montevallo
In 1904, Chesnutt became agri­cultural
instructor for the first
rural consolidated high school in
the South, located in Farragut,
Tenn. Three years later he became
the first agricultural teacher of
Alabama C o l l e g e , Montevallo,
where he established one of the
state's first registered Holstein
and Jersey cattle herds.
Appointed assistant state super­visor
of vocational agriculture for
Alabama in 1919, a year later
Chesnutt came to Auburn as
teacher trainer in vocational agri­culture.
A few years later he re­ceived
his master's degree at
George Peabody College.
Chesnutt is the author of one
book, "The Rural South," and co­author
of another, "Poultry Pro-eduction
jn the South." A publish­ing
company has given him a con­tract
to prepare a book on soil
conservation and to prepare a book
on soil conservation and to revise
"The Rural South." He has written
a number of pamphlets on the
teaching of various agricultural
schools in the state.
During the past several months
groups of his former students
have honored the retiring profes­sor
with gifts of appreciation.
Dr. Stevens Resigns
As Forestry Head;
Goes To Mich. State
Dr. T. D. Stevens, head of the
department of forestry at Auburn,
has resigned to accept the posi­tion
as head of the forestry de­partment
of Michigan State Col­lege
effective August 26. The an­nouncement
was made by M. J.
Funchess, dean of the School of
Agriculture and Director of the
Agricultural Experiment Station.
In addition to heading the de­partment
of forestry, Stevens will
also supervise extension forestry
work in Michigan. Stevens' suc­cessor
will be named later.
He. came to Auburn in 1947 as
head of the newly -established de­partment
of forestry. The depart­ment
was acclaimed on of the best
in the South while under his su­pervision.
Th*e staff has been
doubled; a summer camp for fores­ters
has been established near
Uriah to provide field training for
students majoring in forestry, and
a forestry nursery has been estab­lished
near Opelika.
Stevens, a native of Los Angeles,
received his bachelor of science in
forestry from Montana State Uni­versity
in 1936 and his doctorate
from Yale University in 1940.
Before coming to Auburn, he
held the position of assistant pro­fessor
at Colorado State College
during 1936 and 1937 and profes­sor
at Michigan State College
from 1940 to 1947.
He is a member of Gamma

Are We Meeting The Demands Of Toddy?
Last week The Plainsman carried a
lengthy front page story on the approval
of plans for a $3,700,00.0 building program
on the Auburn campus for t h e coming
year. This program when completed will
help eliminate the p r o b l e m of college
housing for men and women as well as
provide for a much-needed student Union
Building.
The adoption of this building program
is a highly commendable move.
Auburn's expansion of its physical
plant since the war has been an amazing
process. However, we have often wonder­ed
if the instructional branch of the in­stitution
has kept abreast of the positive
progress made in the building of the phy­sical
plant.
Has Auburn fully met the demands of
the explosive times in which we are now
living? Have the high standards of aca­demic
thinking always been kept free and
open? Has the institution done everything
in its power to give to its student a sound
practical education whereby they may
meet the rapid changes of o u r present
world?
Have the students opened their minds
to free thinking and searched eagerly for
knowledge and understanding on the great
issues facing our people today? Likewise,
have the Auburn instructors sought dili­gently
to face squarely and fairly all prob­lems
and issues which should be brought
boldly before their students?
We would not attempt to answer these
questions. The answer to them is unknown
now. Not until the Auburn men and wo­men
take their places in our exciting world
can we tell how well they have been forti­fied
to meet the demands of a demanding
world.
This is a land-grant school born in the
unfertile ground of Southern conserva­tism.
Its great strength as well as its short­comings
are due largely to the section in
which it has been grown. Yet it is because
of the demanding needs of this section that
Auburn must always strive to produce
thinking men and women who will boldly
and frankly strive to build the South into
the Nation's No. 1 asset instead of its No.
1 problem.
A Choice Between Truth And Emotion
Today is election day in Georgia.
Georgians will go to the polls to select
between the present Gov. Herman Tal-madge
and his political rival M. E. Thomp­son
in a race which will again place South­ern
politics in the national spotlight.
The campaign in Georgia is being con­ducted
in usual Cracker state style. Mud
slinging is at its height and the appeal to
the emotions and ignorance of the voters is
the central theme of the campaign. Just as
no Southern political campaign would be
complete without a desperate appeal to the
emotions, no Georgia election is complete
without the demagogery of a Talmadge.
This year's campaign is no exception.
According to reports from the Peach
State, Talmadge is the favorite although
Thompson is said to have made substantial
gains in the past month.
The South and the nation will eagerly
await the results of today's v o t e . Will
Georgia send back to its state capitol a
Needed—Student Opinion
The main outlet for student opinion on
matters of importance whether they are
here on the campus, in the state, nation, or
world is through the letters to the editor
column. So far this quarter this column
has not been carried in The Plainsman.
Why? Simply because we have received
no letters.
To suddenly realize that out of a stu­dent
body of over 3600 no one has express­ed
an opinion is a rather disquieting fact.
To think that in an academic community
students do not express opinions on the
problems of today is even more disheart­ening.
With the outbreak of war in Korea, the

Southern primaries this spring. In Florida

My Boy has just turned sixteen.
The world is a sight to him. He
has a curosity that defies under­standing.
His appetite knows no
bounds. His father is stupid and
all his teachers are jerks. There
is no question on which he is not
well versed—and he lets you know
it forthwith. In other words, he is
an average American boy, and his
father is very much wrapped up in
him.
Now, sixteen is a pliable, im­pressionable
age. Many of us in our
middle years have vivid recollec­tions
of books read, old houses ex­plored,
swimming holes tested, and
innumerable adventures lived at
that period of our lives; and we
shall never forget them if we live
to be a hundred; There are other
things we can't forget. Some of
them unpleasant; some deadly seri­ous.
You are familiar with some
of these serious things.
* * *
And my boy is confused. Yes,
along with about 90 per cent of
the rest of the people, he is con­fused.
Over his radio he hears
politicians say we are at the
cross-roads of history—that the
country and the world are in a
terrible fix—and he hears no
satisfactory remedy for the ma­lady.
He hears a United States
Senator attack men of known
high moral character. He reads
part of a book entitled "The
Road Ahead" by an illogical, in­accurate
and emotional man by
the name of Flynn in which even
men in the highest places in his
Tmy son's) own church of Me­thodism
are, by inuendo, called
"communists."
HE HEARS the never-ending
conflict between capital and labor;
capitalism and communism; and
recently he has been trying to
grasp the meaning of the Supreme
Court's decision concerning segre­gation.
His prejudice is shallow
and so the decision dpes not pre­sent
the spectre to him that it does
to many of our people.
I do not lay claim to have all
the answers, nor yet a large part
of the answers, but I try, as best
I can, to help him see some of
these problems in their true
light. When a glimmer of truth '
reflects from his eyes, it is
heart-rending to see the inno­cence
that is youth shocked at
the things presented In the name
of truth. And leadership knows
no more scathing denunciation
than a disillusioned youth. -
OUR COUNTRY has been en­dowed
with all the good things
that man could desire. In all his­tory,
no nation has ever approach­ed
ours in material wealth. And at
a time when the eyes- of the.world
are turned in our direction seek­ing
guidance, we find ourselves
bankrupt for leadership. My boy
and other boys like him through­out
this much-blessed land that is
America will tomorrow inherit the
leadership that today is ours. Upon
them will be the burden of de­cision,
and with them will rest the
destiny of our nation and society.
More than this, indeed. Upon
them may well rest the fate of
all mankind. This rich legacy,
this America which my Boy and
yours will inherit, is not an un­mixed
blessing. They will also
inherit, unless we are wise (for
we have allowed them to learn
from us), prejudice, fear, suspi­cion,
arrogance, and narrow-minded
ignorance of the prob­lems
of others in the world about
us. Our boys, the most skilled
and devoted mimics, will mirror
our failings as flawlessly as
glass.
* * *
WHAT, THEN, can be our finest
legacy to our sons, and to the
world? Surely, the gift of toler­ance,
of open-minded inquiry, and
adherence to moral principles in
resolving their problems would be
our richest bequest. If our sons
can supply this nation with ethical,
Christian, high moral leadership
(as some of our nation's founders
likely dreamed of), then all our
problems—economic, domestic fo­reign,
military, racial and political,
will resolve themselves, and the
whole of humankind will, indeed,
call us blessed.
But the decision does not yet
rest with your boy and mine.
Right now it rests with YOU and.

Writer Gives Career Girls Advice
by Graham McTeer
In search for good literature produced by writers today,
one comes across a variety of material. Overworked war ex­periences,
sex, passion and crime stories, and historical novels
seems to be chiefly emphasized today, adding very little of
real value to the reader's knowledge or outlook.
It is in the field of humor that
the greatest rewards are often
found. Robert Benchley produced
enough in his lifetime to keep me
laughing for years, and his early
death was truly tragic. Max
Shulman has added a small
•wealth of humor in recent years

unusual ideas. And in an entirely

Powel points out that the great
thing about teaching is that any­body
can do it. "Suppose you
were lecturing to a class of young
numbskulls, who entered college
only because they knew they
would have to go to work if they
didn't," he instructs. Any girl
could tell them something about

Traditional Red Dog Saloon
Threatened By Sen. McCarthy
By Jimmy Everett
Several Columbus, Ohio, reporters p u l l e d last week's
choicest headline from the files of a U.S. District Court. The
reward of their search was a cancelled $10,000 check made
out to Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy, spy hunter, by
now bankrupt Lustron Corporation, for a 10,-
000-word article on housing which was print­ed
in a pamphlet used to promote the sale of
its prefabricated houses.
Now Joe's face really should be red, or at
least a barely noticeable shade of pink, even
the ugh it conflicts with his beliefs. I can't
help wondering if Author Joe checked the
Anti-Commie-Loyalty cards of the buyers,
before he released his work, to be true to his
Everett convictions.
Apparently the now bankrupt Lustron Corporation either
bought too many of the commercials by Red-chaser authors or
either Joe's headline didn't pack the usual punch. Perhaps
he's out of his field in the housing business—unless, of course,
they're red.
Even with the raised eyebrows over Joe's little venture
into journalism, I still can't consider him completely commer­cialized
until his picture appears on Wheaties boxes. Con­sider,
too, the fact that he possibly turned the money over
to some worthwhile cause (W. Winchell gave his $25,000 re­ward
for the capture of killer Macri to the Damon Runyon
Cancer Fund.) He and his committee probably could take
another 30,000-mile jaunt around the U.S. on the funds if
they would ride the chair car and order more blue plate
specials.
It is uncanny that as Joe loudly sang for the files to be
opened, the first newsworthy item discovered there was not
conducive to many votes, but another 10 names added to the
communist list should compensate for this. If, however, he
doesn't win out in the next election, there is always a rosy
future ahead of him in the journalistic field. At the rate of
a dollar per word, he'd have to say no more than Hambone to
make a comfortable living each day.
Amid the cries of Communist, Un-American activities,
Reds, espionage, etc., we should take note. Americans arise!
The existence of our traditional Red Dog Saloon is in danger.
good purpose), the manual offers
an amusing game designed to ac­quire
quickly a ticket for the altar
trek as well as to delay actual
work. It is constantly employed
by the employee but kept secret
from the boss.
The game enables an endless
line of questions to be flung at
the boss at opportune times. They
must be exceedingly personal, for
any business question can be an­swered
in a sentence or two, and
nothing is accomplished by that.
Some of the stimulating time-kil­lers
suggested are: "Is fishing
for tarpon as much fun as every­body
says?"; "Won't you please
tell me exactly what the doctor
said?", and "O-OO-OOH, did you
really drive a cow upstairs into
the dean's office?"
Powel warns the working girl
against the one thing to be most
avoided in every office. The thing
consists of young men, who may
be appealing in many ways, but
who are actually totally worthless
to the ambitious girl. Junior exe­cutives,
clerks, and office boys
can no longer amass a fortune
early in life and be allowed by.
the government to keep it. There­fore,
the only rich husbands today
are those who acquired their for­tunes
before the income tax grew
so merciless in 1942.
So, obviously then, it is wise
to consider "only men in their
thirties, or forties, or fifties—per­haps
even in their sixties or
seventies—even their eighties or
nineties at a pinch. They all
pinch."
Cannon Report
By Tom Cannon
Cannon
I wonder if anyone was more
surprised by Senator Frank Gra­ham's
defeat than I was. Having
written my weekly harangue in
which I predicted the North Caro­lina
lawmaker's nomination, I
happily left the Loveliest Village
for the week end. Imagine my
chagrin when I looked at Sunday's
paper.
The news
puzzled me for
some time.
How could a
man who led a
f i e l d of four
candidates b y
more than 50,-
000 votes in the
f i r s t primary
be so soundly
defeated in the
second? It was
the major poli­tical
upset of the year.
It seems that two factors are pri­marily
responsible for Senator
Graham's failure. First, the news­papers
indicate that fewer people
voted in the primary. In all pro­bability,
most of these were Gra­ham
supporters who assumed that
their support would not be need­ed.
Secondly, the recent Supreme
Court decisions on civil rights
i played a major role in the out­come
of the election. Anti-Ad­ministration
forces had hoped to
defeat Graham, largely on Negro
and alleged. pro-Communist issues.
The Supreme Court gave them the
necessary talking point.
Although an avowed Truman
supporter, Senator Graham had
opposed the establishment of a
federal Fair Employment Prac­tices
Committee. Nevertheless, his
opposition obviously succeeded in
working enough people into emo­tional
frenzies to insure his defeat.

The Emory Wheel Seeks
Admission For Negroes
Editors Note: While States Righters act so alarmed over
the recent Supreme Court ruling abolishing segregation in two
Southern universities, most Southern college students have ,
failed to display any alarm over the situation.
In fact back in January The Emory Wheel carried the fol­lowing
editorial asking the school administration to admit
Negroes to the Emory University on a limited basis. This in­telligent
editorial should give an idea of the opinions of many
thinking Southern students on the controversial question.
"Should Negroes in the South have educational facilities
equal to those of white pupils? Or should they, as one South­ern
University professor answered in a recent poll, be kept
uneducated in order-that we may maintain a class system,
with Negroes as candidates for the lowest rung?
"A few people will argue in favor of the latter proposition.
But most will agree that educational opportunities should be
equal. The chief point of contention is whether they should be
'separate and equal' or 'combined and equal.'
"Analysis of the situation has proved the term 'separate
and equal' as a gigantic falsehood. Negro and white schools
in Georgia and throughout the South are not equal. Figures
compiled in 1945-46 show that the value of elementary school
property for each Negro pupil enrolled was $63; the average
for each white pupil was $221.
"On higher educational levels we find m a n y fields in
which Negroes are denied professional training in their home
states. The director of the Board of Control of Southern Re­gional
Education has revealed that there is not a single South­ern
Negro institution which has the strength to offer a doctor­ate
degree. Members of the Board of Control estimate that it
would take 10 to 20 years to develop such strength.
"Many other facts and figures undeniably prove that school
facilities are not equal for whites and blacks.
"Presuming that we want to h a v e 'separate and equal'
schools, would this be practical? In order to make the average
expenditures for whites and Negroes the same throughout the
South in 1946 without lowering standards in white schools, an
expenditure of $158 per Negro pupil would have been neces­sary.
This would have meant an additional expense of about
$31,000,000 for each Southern state. m
"How many states, at this price, really want 'separate and^
equal' educational facilities?
"These are the facts, unaltered and unslanted. They speak
for themselves.
"We believe that such schools as Emory s h o u l d offer
graduate and professional work for Negroes on a selective
basis. There are many Negroes with sufficient qualifications
to gain entry into Emory under fair and selective system of
tests. Qualified Negroes who can show a definite course of
study unavailable to them elsewhere in the state should be
admitted. Such a program might be executed in cooperation
with Atlanta University.
"Chief among the arguments against this, from some stu­dents'
standpoint, are (1) Segregation laws might cause prob­lems
for the Negroes and the University, and (2) The few
Negroes admitted could not participate in athletics or other
University activities.
"We regard these arguments as invalid. There would be
no need for lack of segregation. It is the law in Georgia and
as long as it is it should be observed. There would be no need'
for Negroes to engage in University activities outside the
classroom. They would be regarded as special students.
"Chief among the arguments against admittance, from the
administration's viewpoint, might be that faculty members
would object. We do not believe this is true. A poll taken by
the Southern Conference Education Fund a m o n g faculty
members in 14 Southern states and the District of Columbia
revealed that 70 per cent of the teachers advocate removal of
racial barriers set up by college and universities. We do not
know the accuracy of this poll, but it probably correctly re­veals
the trend of thought, if not the actual percentages.
"Emory students by and large would not object to having
a few Negroes sit in their classrooms. Nor would faculty mem­bers
or financial benefactors. This is one chance for Emory
to prove her reputation as a progressive institution. It is a
i chance for Emory to show her practicality."
Auburn's Swimming Pool Need
The Bulletin is not alone in its conviction that Auburn's prime
recreational need is a municipal swimming pool. Since the editorial
last week on the subject, many citizens have let us know that they,
too, would rather see the city provide a swimming pool than any
other recreational facility.
The city owns an ideal location for the project. The park on E.
Glenn provides ample area at no cost, and it is centrally located. The
money can be raised by sale of bonds. The bonds can be retired out
of amusement tax and pool admissions.

Family Of Three Spends Summer
Working On Degrees At Auburn
A strong belief in the advantages of education is being
demonstrated here this quarter by the A- B. Hinson family of
"Lindeiij Hinson, his wife, and daughter, Minetta Kathryn, are
all enrolled in Auburn for the summer.
There's no question in the minds of the Hinsons about
•where they'll spend the hot — —
months; it's an accepted fact that
they'll be in Auburn until "Papa"
Hinson is awarded his B.S. de­gree
in agricultural science and
mother and daughter get their
masters' degrees in education.
Mrs. Hinson and Minetta recei­ved
degrees from the University,
of Alabama in August, 1948. The
mother's was a B.S. in English
and history, and Minetta earned
an A.B. in English and journal­ism.
Hinson himself is now a so­phomore.
Hinson first came to Auburn in
1914, but with the outbreak of
World War I, he left to join the
riavy and wasn't here long enough
to acquire any credit. At the end
of the war he returned to his
Marengo County home and enter­ed
the mercantile business. He
continued there until he re-enter­ed
the navy as chief boatswain's
mate in the last war.
I Meanwhile, Mrs. Hinson taught
school and studied during the
summer at the University, where
Minetta was a full-time student.
When Hinson decided to take ad­vantage
of the GI Bill, enrolling
in Auburn, the family agreed to
come with him. He attends school
all year, but his wife and daugh­ter
return to Linden each fall.
Mrs. Hinson teaches sixth grade
there, and-Minetta does corres­pondent
work for four state news­papers
plus free-lance writing.
All three of the Hinsons have
busy schedules of classes so they
rarely see one another during the
^ay. Since Minetta lives in the
women's dormitory and her par­ents
stay at the Jones Hotel, they
set aside a night each week to'
have dinner together and catch
up on the news.
When Hinson receives his de­gree
he's going back to Linden
and manage his farm, now oper­ated
by tenants.

"The Man With The Tape"
Bauer And Varano Are Leading Tiger Tackles
Brnilovich, Tiburzi, Hanks Are Top Prospects
Bob Weaver Moved To Strengthen Weak Position
By Jimmy Coleman \
In juries, to a couple of key men at the tackle positions,
could cause Coach Earl Brown no end of headaches this fall.
Loss by graduation of such experienced performers as
Max Autrey, John Adcock, and Arnold Fagen has left only
two men who played enough last season to earn letters
These two men are Foots Bauer
DEPENDABLES AT TACKLES
and Ted Varano who earned
monograms as sophomores. If eith­er
of them get hurt, they will have
to be replaced by a non-lettered
squad member or an untried
sophomore.
Both Bauer and Varano, how­ever,
have no intention of feeling
Lady Luck's ill sting and will be
out to strive for the peak of their
collegiate grid careers.
Bauer, especially, has been cited
by opposing coaches, players, and
outstanding sports writers as one
of the most promising linemen in
the Southeastern Conference. The
quiet, studious junior in the tough
course of engineering physics, af­ter
an operation to correct a carti­lage
ailment in one of his knees,
says that he is ready to go on the
gridiron this fall. A previous ope­ration
on his other knee was per­formed
two years ago.
"Now they're matched up and
feel fine," Bauer, said. "I don't
think they'll give me anymore
trouble."
Bauer is a certainty for the No.
1 call at right tackle offensively.
He will be used as a guard on de­fense
for strategical reasons.
Brnilovich Returns
At the end of spring drills, Va­rano
was the top man at left
tackle. He will have to keep on his
toes to hold the position because
John (Tito) Brnilovich is return­ing
to finish a remaining year of
eligibility and looked great on
defense against Alabama. His de­fensive
talent and sophomore Sam
Hank's continued improvement on
offensive might be the combination
that would eventually find Varano
spending more and more time on
the bench as the season progresses.
An old schoolmate of Varano's
at Chester (Pa.) High, Joe Ti­burzi
will be gunning for his
share of defensive playing time,
also. Big Joe weighs 230 and is
well adapted to take care of op­posing
runners who seek yardage
through his territory.
Mort Vaserberg, a giant of a
sophomore f r o m Birmingham,
won't be around the Tiger eamp
this fall. His scholastic average hit
the skids, leaving Varano, Brnilo­vich,
Hanks, and Tiburzi at the
left tackle spot.
Harris Improves
Behind Bauer at the right side
is Harold Harris, who has shown
constant improvement. He's a good,
all-around performer who will
continue to look better with ex­perience.
A newcomer to the position is
Bobby Weaver, former end, who
has possibilities as a top-notch of­fensive
tackle. Packing 215 pounds
on a 6-3 frame, he has the physical
equipment and may turn out to
be as big a success as was Arnold
Fagen last season. Like Weaver,
Fagen played three years as an
end before converting to taGkle.
Last but not least is a prize-package
in 225-pound Breece Bar­ley,
a sophomore from Florence.
TWO RETURNING VETERANS for the Auburn Tigers are
Ed Bauer (left) and Bobby Weaver (right). Bauer, a junior from
Montgomery, is considered one of the top prospects in the SEC,
while Weaver, a senior from Talladega, has been shifted from
end to strengthen the tackle post.

Law Graduates To Find Competition
For Jobs Stiff In The Near Future
Prepared By U.S. Department Of Labor
Law graduates seeking employment this year will meet
exceedingly stiff competition in most areas, according to a
study made by the United States Department of Labor's Bu­reau
of Labor Statistics. The legal profession was already
overcrowded in 1949, when twice as many lawyers passed
the bar examinations aass iinn the
years Just before the war.
In view of the unprecedented
number of students now in law
school, the number of new grad­uates
will remain high for the next
two or three years at least. Top-ranking
students, however, will
continue to find openings with re­lative
ease.
- Should Expand Slowly
Over the long run, the legal
profession will probably tend to
expand slowly, as a result of popu­lation
growth and of numerous
economic and social trends, which
tend to increase the need for
legal services. Deaths and retire­ments
of lawyers—which a r e
roughly estimated at around 4,-
600 or 5,000 a year—will also cre­ate
openings.
The tendency toward over­crowding
in the profession is like­ly
to continue, however, unless le­gal
services are made available to
greater numbers of middle- and
lower-income people through the
extension of such plans as the le­gal
aid society or the lawyer r e ­ference
plan.
Opportunities for specialists are
often better than for lawyers in
general practice. However, such
positions are comparatively few
in number, and are usually found
only with big law firms in the
larger cities. Specialties with r e ­latively
good prospects in the long
run are: tax law, patent law, ad­ministrative
law, admiralty law,
and international law. Legal train­ing
is becoming increasingly use­ful
for many types of business, and
>for administrative positions in
government; it is also a great asset
to people seeking public office.
Best Opportunities
Best opportunities usually lie in
medium-sized and smaller cities,
especially those with prospects of
economic expansion. State capitals
and county seats may also offer
relatively good opportunities. The
profession is especially o v e r ­crowded
in the very large cities
and in Washington, D.C.
Information on how several
thousand law school graduates of
1946 and 1947 obtained their first
jobs is available from a survey
conducted by the B'nai B'rith Vo­cational
Service Bureau. The sur­vey
shows that about one-third
of the 1947 graduates applied to
only one prospective employer and
that approximately the same num­ber
applied to six or more prospec­tive
employers.
Veterans appeared to have only
a slight advantage over non-vete­rans
when it came to finding jobs.
Half the 1947 law graduates had
obtained employment in less than
two months after graduation; how­ever,
18 per cent had to wait four

months or longer for their first le­gal
jobs. It took women much
longer than men to obtain legal
positions.
It should be noted that the grad­ating
classes of 1946 and 1947 were
looking for jobs at a time when
the employment situation was r e ­latively
favorable. Excellent busi­ness
conditions also contributed to
the demand. Since 1947, compe­tition
for employment has greatly
increased and it will probably be­come
keener in the next year or
two.

tive George Smathers supports
that assumption. On the other
hand, the overwhelming victory of
Senator Lister Hill and the wrest­ing
of control of the 72-member
Democratic State Executive Com­mittee
from the Dixiecrats in Ala­bama
is evidence against it.
While the Dixiecrats will no
doubt make good use of their two
victories, I do not think they mean
that Southern progress away from
ultra-conservatism is lost. Rather,
it appears that Southern voters
have become emotionally upset by
recent Administration actions and
have retaliated in the only manner
at their disposal.
