College Grads Get Payoff
THE college graduate enjoys the unquestioned advantage
of making more money than his unacademic fellows, but
at>the same time there is thrust upon him the less obvious
distinction of having fewer children.
These are samples from a recent survey on the Old Grad
by Time magazine, which likes to point out that 77 percent
of its readers are college-trained.
Other survey samplings:
There are about 6,000,000 college graduates in the coun-
try today, and three out of five are men.
About seven of every 10 graduates come from the 21
states in the east or midwest. And half come from cities or
small towns. If a person was born in the south or lives on
a farm, the chances are he won’t ever get to college.
Graduates beget graduates. A total of 44 percent come
from families in which one or both parents got degrees.
Surprisingly, 71 percent of the 6,000,000 total worked
their way through college, either wholly or partly.

^HE college men surveyed had median earnings of $4,689
in 1947. (Median is that point at which half the incomes
were above and half below.) In the same year, the median
income of all American men was $2,200.
That a college degree pays off in getting the first job
after graduation jg shown by the fact that the college man
makes more in the first year than the average man does
at his peak—his late thirties and early forties. The two
medians are $8,537 and $2,845.
What’s more, the thing snowballs. The older the Old
Grads get. the wealthier they get. Graduates over 50 make
about three times as much as the average man.
• c°Netfe decree seems to have a domestically settling
influence on a man. Of the college graduates, 96 percent
were still living with their wives at the time of the survey.
For the U. S. as a whole, the figure was 89 percent.
The average Old Grad has two children, which is under
the average for all American married men. This is attributed
to the practice of birth control.

QI' the lady Old Grads, 31 percent are unmarried. This
compares unfavorably, or perhaps it's favorably, with
the 13 percent unmarried among American women as a
whole. In this connection. Dr. Paul Popence, the sociologist,
believes there is a “widespread tendency of women to seek
tO|!narry above their own level, and of men to seek to marry
Ernest Havemann and Patricia Salter West have written
a book based on the survey and titled, "They Went to Col-
"J authors say the figures knock down the mvth
that colleges are hotbeds of radicalism. The average college
man, says the authors, is quite conservative in his political
opinions. 1
As partial proof they cite survey figures showing 64
percent were generally opposed to the New Deal and its
political program, as against 36 percent who generally
lavorea it.
AH of which leaves us uncomfortably at a loss for a tidv
conclusion to draw from the whole business. Probablv the
most to be hoi>e<l for, meantime, is that happy dav when
every man is a college man, capable of making his own
survey on, say, Time.
THE STORY: George Kendall,
private detective, has been retained
by the wealthy Albert P. Sutworth
to keep the latter’s daughter from
eloping with an ex-wrestler called
Chief Rig Bear, of whom Sutworth
disapproves. George and his secre-
tary Verna Denton have arrived In
Seneca Springs, where Rig Bear has
a gymnasium. They have no def-
inite plan of action, so George
plans to do a little snooping before
makes hia plan of attack.

rvUTSIDE Oil the streets of Sen-
" eca Springs, the first warm
breath of April was taking hold.
The block was lined with earlv
morning shoppers and the store
fronts were filled with merchan-
dise. Young mothers pushed baby
strollers along the sidewalks, and
George Kendall decided that small
towns were so much more infor-
mal than cities and everywhere
he looked there was a decided
spirit of warm friendliness.
He saw pare legs and $2 house-
dresses. mud.spattcred overalls and
ruddy-faced farmers. There was a
stream of small stores, tw'o theaters
and the street forked at the end
of the block, forming a crude cir-
cle. The circle, with its lawn, the
little, green benches and a statue
in the center, was presumably a
public park. He took it all in with
one long, sweeping glance and at
once he was stirred by a deep nos
talgla.
"Have you decided where you're
taking me?" Verna Denton said
suddenly.
"First, I'm going to see if we
can rent a car somewhere."
They had little trouble finding
directions for reaching the nearest
car rental agency.
Thirty minutes later, Kendall
turned the Ignition key of a 1950
sedan and the long black car rolled
out of the garage and onto the
street.
"Where to now?" Verna asked.
"Back to the hotel."
"Why there?"
"I've got to put on some kind
oi a disguise."
“What for?"
Well Just In case I can't buy
this guy off, which is plan No. 1,
I might have to use plan No. 2
and I don't want him to know I
was the same person who tried plan
No. 1."
“Clear as mud." she said, roll-
ing down the window, "and what,
may I ask. is plan No. 2?"
"You’ll see."
# # *
V^HEN George Kendall came out
" of the Seneca Springs Hotel,
he looked more like Groucho Marx.
He was wearing a fake mustache,
dark, bone-rimmed glasses and a
long, black cigar. Verna walked be-
hind him.
"You look horrible," she said,
climbing lit behind the driver's
seat, "and I don't see why you want
me to drive."
"We might have to make a quick
getaway.” he explained mysterious-
ly.
"You didn't tell me we were gon-
na rob a bank. I forgot my tommy-
gun.”
“Don't act stupid. Even If it be
comes you." He slammed the door.
"Well," he said, after a pause, “can
you make the car go, or are we go-
ing to sit here all day?"
"Where to, dearie?"
“Just start driving," he said.
We ve got to find this gymnalsum
that Chief Big Bear operates. It’s
a small town, so we shouldn't have
too much trouble finding thw-place."
They drove down the main drag,
circled the park and retraced their
path, coming back on the other
side of the street.
‘Try one of the side streets.”
Kendall suggested. She turned left
at the next block, then right, then
left, then right again, finally turn-
ing onto a street named Pine.
'There it Is." she said, pointing
her finger. "That large white
building near the corner.” The
doorway was inscribed with the
word "GYMNASIUM."
What makes you think that
that’s the same one that Chief Big
Bear operates?" Kendall asked.
The statues, dope."
'The statues?"
■And you call yourself a detec-
tive." She pulled into the curb.

led to the front door of the build-
ing. and at the top of the steps,
one on each side of the doorway,
were two small statues of Indians.
Each Indian faced the other, and
each held what appeared to be an
upraised tomahawk.
"How clever," Kendall growled.
“Elementary, my dear Kendall,"
the girl quipped. "Elementary."
"This Is where I get off," he said.
"While I'm inside, you turn the car
nround. and for gosh sakes, keep
the motor running.”
"Say. what's inside that gym that
you're so worried about?" she asked
"I'm not even sure myself, but
If Mr. Sutworth was right, they
could be gangsters, and if you don't
already know, I'm not wearing any
artillery. Couldn't find my gun per-
mit."
Gosh sakes, be careful then. How
much are you gonna offer him?"
“I don't know yet. I'll have to
kind of feel him out first." He
started across the street, puffing
furiously on the cigar, wondering
what diplomatic approach he would
use on Chief Big Bear.
(To Be Continued)
AGE cannot wither her, nor
** CUNtom stale her Infinite
tariety. Said of Cleopatra but
could well have been the weather
in central Oklahoma this past
week. Tornadoes which occupied
many minds on Tuesday paled in
to insignificance In the twinkling
of an eye when dame nature
turned over In her sleep and
shook the covers of the earth
upon which man lives and moves
and has his being.
We get to thinking ourselves
to be invincible, even more, some
appear possessed of a self-impos-
ed omnipotence. All man made
power fades quickly in the face of
the vagaries of nature, because
as the astute observer In the ad-
vertising field tells us "Nature In
the raw Is seldom mild."
Very little in its primitive state
Is mild and when men revert to
the primitive they become the
world's worst spectacle. A lazy
well fed house cat will kill birds,
a leopard in a zoo resents captivi-
ty and given the opportunity will
roam the Helds killing for food,
dogs will kill chickens all evi-
dences of a primitive instinct not
erased by domesticity. Man con-
siders himself above the beasts
because he was given reason, and
thru this sense has become what
we think is civilized. But the
veneer is very thin and when
reasons clash civilization flies out
the window and the primitive
instincts for self preservation
take over.
“David! Come back up out of those expensive seats
once!"

No longer does the civilized
mind govern the conduct. Oh no!
We may not resort to physical
violence but opposition irritates
and retaliation by word of mouth,
or some vindictive act Intended to
hurt is performed and we strut
and gloat not over our fallen foe
but in order to quiet a civilized
conscience. Scratch a Christian
and you'll find a tiger.
It is something to think about
as we approach Easter.
Mark Twain said everybody
complains about the weather, but
no one does anything about it;
much conversation is made about
the fickle, unpredictable, incon-
sistencies of women but nobody
wants to do anything about it.
In the beginning, said a Persian
poet Allah took a rose, a lily, a
dove, a serpent, a little honey, a
Dead Sea apple, and a handful of
clay. When he looked at the
amalgam—It was a woman.
The weather and the women.
Heaven bless 'em. They furnish
men with words and worry but
together produce that ingredient
which Is the spice of life, variety.

WASHINGTON, April 11—(NEA)
»» - The Wage Stabilization
Board and Its 14 regional boards
scattered around the country have
solved over 31,000 dispute cases In
the year and four months they
have been in existence. Most of
these cases have been handled
without more than a ripple of ex-
citement in local areas.
It's the big cases it isn’t able to
solve readily, like the steel wage
case, that cause WSB to be criti-
cized. Also, there's the fact that the
boards have a backlog of some 15,-
000 cases on file that they haven't
been able to get to for lack of time.
Most WSB cases are handled by
regional boards and never get to
Washington. Only the big ones, in-
volving some national principle,
are taken on appeal to the capital.
So far, President Truman has re-
ferred 12 cases to WSB headquar-
ters. Labor and management have
voluntarily submitted eight more
cases for settlement.

Soviet Russia's so-called world
conference on business, In Moscow,
is now sized up as a propaganda
protest against export control regu-
lations of the non-Communist na-
tions. This can be taken as 1 great
compliment from the Communist
countries on the effectiveness of
the export control program.
It took over six months after the
outbreak of the Korean war to get
the non-Communist countries to go
along on this program. Some of
them, like Great Britain, really
need such Russian exports as lum-
ber and coarse grains. They must
give raw materials like rubber and
wool in exchange. But quantities
ore limited to pre-war civilian con-
sumption. Strategic materials nec-
essary for the Russian rearmament
effort are strictly banned. That's
why the Communists are scream-
ing «now for free trade. It's another
cold-war battle they're losing.
