- Financing Post War Plans Discussed in Review A new aspect of the postwar planning organization, financing j the postwar projects, has been introduced by Dr. Victor P. | Morris, dean of the school of business administration, in the lead article of the current issue of the “Oregon Business Re view,” published by the bureau of business research. He said that ideas and blueprints must be supplemented with cash and: no program is complete without its financing completely organ ized. Dr. Morris, who is chairman of the state committee on postwar adjustment and development, en couraged at the interest being shown in the problems which will confront business and government at the end of the war, warned those interested that unless imme diate preparations are taken for establishing a "stock-pile” or "back-log” of public works, the plans will be mostly fanciful. "No group should regard itself as having done its job of prepara tion for the postwar period until all three phases are completed or well on the way to completion. It is highly essential that we do not deceive ourselves with our long lists of projects totalling millions of dollars when in fact only a small part of the money resources '•’'■'are yet even seriously thought about, let alone actually in hand.” Dr. Morris stated further that each political unit and organiza tion should adopt its own financial resolutions in accordance with its individual resources. The import ant thing to remember, he stressed, is that the moves to accumulate these cash reserves should be made now rather than to wait for finan cial backing through bonds.

Rudolph Hegdahl, who was graduated from the University in 1934, visited his wife in Eugene last week on a two-day leave. Colonel Hegdahl has just recently returned from the India-Burma sector where he was sent in Jan uary, 1942, as a special staff offi cer on the general staff. In describing India and his ex periences to a Register-Guard re porter he commented on the un sanitary practices and general un cleanliness in India. This is one of the first shocks to American sol diers billeted there, he said. He also commented on the prevalence of beggars and the use of children in the profession, many of which are borrowed for the effect. Colonel Hegdahl was a member of Delta Upsilon social fraternity while on the campus. He was called to active duty in 1940, entering the service as a first lieutenant. Re ceiving a transfer to the air corps as an administrative officer, he was assigned to Hamilton field, in California, and then later to India.

Hogan's Grocery and Cook's Market 544 E. 13th Phone 2066 Essays Indicate Student Problems Hundreds of college and univer sity students believe their most critical problems after the war will be in finding employment. This observation made by Dr. Frederick C. Mills is based on the entries sub mitted by college men and women in the Pabst Postwar Employment awards, a national competition of fering $50,000 in prizes for post war employment plans. Dr. Mills heads the faculty members of Co lumbia university’s economics de partment who are acting as con sultants to the board of judges for the awards. “We are extremely gratiifed," said Dr. Mills, “to find such a tre mendous interest shown by college students in this public-spirited enterprise. The problem of post war employment is a critical one and it is most encouraging to find among these students an apprecia tion of its importance and an un derstanding of the major factors affecting employment opportun lties. Plans have been received by the awards committee from stu dents of almost every college and university in the United States. On the board of judges of the Tabst Postwar Employment awards are: Clarence Dykstra, president, University of Wisconsin; Wesley C. Mitchell, professor of economics, Columbia university; Beardsley Ruml, chairman, Fed eral Reserve bank of New York; and A. F. Whitney, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train men. Announcement of the 17 win ners, with a first prize of $25,000; second prize of $10,000 and 15 prizes of $1,000, will be made on April 12. Presentation of coveted awards will be made over a na tional radio program. The winning plans will be turned over to the proper government agencies and research bureaus on postwar em ployment.
