Education Held
Vital Factor in
G.L Promotions
' By Claire Cox
(United Preu SUff Corrapondent)
Chicago (IP) The typical mid-
western college graduate has had
a better chance of becoming a
commissioned officer in the
armed services than his buddy
who never went beyond high
school.
College graduates from the mid'
west have had a 50-50 chance of
becoming commissioned officers.
Men with high school educations
have had the same chance of be
coming sergeants but only one
chance in lour of being commis
sioned. These facts were revealed by
studies made by Prof. Robert J.
Havlghurst, secretary of the Uni
versity of Chicago's committee on
human development, and Miss
Mary Russell, Walgreen Founda
tion researcher at the University.
Their findings are reported in
the current issue of the "School
Review."
High School a 'Must
The writers studied a typical
mtdwestern country-seat town of
6,000 population, with a fair pro
portion of industrial workers.
They came to the conclusion that
a high school education is prac
tically essential to advancement
in present-day American life,
whether civilian or military.
"There f a very high positive
relation between rank in the
armed services and educational
. attainment prior to entering the
services," they reported. "Having
at least a high-school education
Is almost essential for promotion
to tne level 01 commissioned or
fleers."
A sample group of 163 service
men was selected scientifically
and their records were examined
. for rank in relation to education
al level. Seventy-eight per cent of
tne men witn no more than an
eighth-grade education did not go
beyond the rank of private or cor
poral. ji tnose wnp were gradu
ated from high school, 55 per cent
remained privates or corporals
and 21 per cent achieved officers
rank.
"Almost half the boys from the
upper and upper-middle class
families are officers or officer
candidates," Havlghurst and Miss
Russell said.
Made Survey of 20,000
"On the other hand, only 13 per
cent of the upper-lower class and
none at all of the lower-class are
officers. The young men from the
lower,-middle, upper -lower, and
lower -lower classes have been
equally successful In reaching the
Japs Reported in Headlong
Flight After Big Port Seized
Nippons Abandon 50-Mile Stretch of Vital
Railroad Supplying French-lndo Soldiers
Chungking, May 28 (U.E) Japanese troops were reported
in headlonir flicht from southern Kwanesi province today
after abandoning the inland treaty port of Nanning and a
50-mile stretch on the continental railway line supplying
their armies in French Indo-China.
' Front dispatches from Kwanitfi snid Chinese forces had
split Japanese defenses along the railway line, driving part
of the enemy force southward toward the Indo-China border
and the rest north toward the former American air base at
Licuhow.
Nanning itself and the big
American air field outside
the city fell to the Chinese
Sunday morning after a sur
prise attack launched from
the Yu river base of Poseh, 130
miles to the northwest. Nanning
was taken by the Japanese last
November during an eight-month
campaign to open a corridor
from Korea to Singapore.
laps Mopped Up
Scattered Japanese units still
were being mopped up in the
Nanning area today, but the
main Chinese force already had
driven 50 miles northward to at
tack Plnyang, 80 miles south of
Lluchow.
Another Chinese column drove
within 50 miles west of Kiuchow,
crossing the Lung river and
opening a direct assault on Ish
an. The fall of Ishan would cut
off another big segment of 'the
Japanese-held railway system
linking central and northern
China to French Indo-China.
May Cut Corridor
Other Chinese troops also were
threatening to cut the corridor at
Hengyang In western Hunan
province, 250 miles north of
rating of sergeants and other non
commissioned officers.
'Hleh school graduation Is al
most essential for promotion to
the level of commissioned officer,
and educational background ap
pears to be one of the principal
factors, if not the primary fac
tor, In promotion in the armed
services.
"A survey of 20,000 officer can
didates In the army showed that
only 6.5 per cent had not gradu
ated from high school.
"Length of service, which has
little relation to a man's chance
of getting a commission, does
bear a positive relation to mov
ing up in the hierarchy of non
commissioned officers.
"The largest proportion of
those at the level of sergeant and
the smallest proportion at the
level of private and corporal are
found In the two groups with the
longest service." ,

Wartime Needs
Make Heavy Drain
On State Potatoes
Portland, Ore., May 28 (IB
Wartime needs have drained the
Oregon potato market so rapidly
that, although the last carloads
were shipped in April there is al
ready a serious shortage, a sur
vey or tne states marKeis -revealed
today.
In Portland, California imports
of new potatoes are supplying
about one-tenth of the demand
and purchases are being rationed
on a one-sack-to-a-customer basis.
And the situation throughout the
state, one of the most important
producers in the nation, Is already
very ugm. $
Checks to the chief growing
areas today showed that despite
a good crop during the past sea
son there is reason to expect even
fewer potatoes until the new
crops can come in from the south
in amounts sufficient to meet
growing demands. ;
Lowly Spud Sought
The lowly spud Is becoming
more and more sought after. It
is pointless, delicious, and quite
starchy and filling, making it an
excellent way of padding the
menu In point-scarce homes. ?
In Klamath Falls, home of the
famed Klamath potato, some Cali
fornia offerings are being re
ceived, although housewives are
finding the prices high and the
quantities not too large. .
ine Kiamatn crops nit a new
high last year, when 12,500 car
load were shipped from the
basin during the season. Harvest
ing begins in the fall, continuing
through most of October and No
vember. Often the crops are re
tained In warehouses for specu
lation purposes. However, de
mands from the armed forces
kept this from occurring this sea
son, and the last cars were moved
during the middle of April.
Deliydrator Set Up
For a time during the height
of the season all shipments not
for 'the armed forces had to be
cleared through military channels
because a great amount was need
ed for troops. A dehydrator was
set up and some of the crop proc
essed In this manner for shipment
overseas.
In Bend, producing center for
the Deschutes potato, the spuds
are not too plentiful at the pres
ent time, although stores still
have enough on hand to supply
retail customers. The Deschutes
potatoes are also a fall crop, but
a small amount held in ware
houses are still available for loca)
consumption. 1 , t, . ;
Meanwhile, canned sweet pota
toes are fast disappearing from
shelves in stores throughout Ore
gon and victory gardeners are
thinking about planting more
spuds.
Citizens who want to eat Ore
gon potatoes may have to grow
their own this year.
Trap Traitor

England's top traitor, Norman
Baillie-Stewart, above, has been
captured by British troops in
Holland. The once proud officer
of the Seaforth Highlanders,'
who disappeared from England
following a -five-year prison
term for selling military secrets
to Germany, finally was Identi
fied as the voice broadcasting
anti-British propaganda from
German radio stations
of the county agriculturist in Red
mond. In addition, a probable 10
cars will be available for ship
ment after planting is completed
the middle of June.
Plantings this year may run to
4,500 acres, more than 20 per cent
higher than a year ago. Up to
May 1 of this year 1,946 cars of
last year's crop have been shipped
out of central Oregon. This In
cluded a part of Crook county
production as well as that from
Deschutes county.

CHIEF CAUSES
OF IN-LAW TItOUBLE
What are the chief causes of
friction btwoen a married couple
and their in-laws?
1. Having to share one home.
The difficulty here is that, how
ever similar the background of
the couple may be, there are
Infinite variations of custom and
habit and methods of doing
things. The wife wants to handle
her household In her own way,
her husband's mother in another.
The woman who has been run
ning her own home for many
years finds it intolerable to be in
a subordinate position in her
son's home and ' often tries to
seize the reins from the younger
woman's hand. In many cases,
her intentions are good. She
feels that she knows best and she
genuinely wants to help. In other
cases, an element of jealousy or
semsnness is ner motive. .
2. Where the parents live with
their married sons or daughters
because of need for financial sup
port, mere is apt to be resent
ment on both sides, if great tact
is not exercised . The dependent
parents are alert for slights and
take any discussion of money as
an indirect slur upon them. .
3. The tendency durine the
early months of adjustment to
"run home to mother" always
leads to trouble. At the first
quarrel, the wife or the husband
rushes to mother to complain and
to demand sympathy. The
mother, unless she is very wise
indeed, sides with her own child.
Not only that, but she usually
regards the fact that her child
came to her with- coniucal
troubles as an excellent excuse
for interfering in matters which
can only be solved by the two
people in question.
But of all these problems, the
worst is undoubtedly caused by
the interference of the in-laws In
bringing up of the,grandchlldren.
To each generation the methods
of the succeeding one with child
ren seem fraught with disaster.
"We did not do it that way in
my day," they say. "You will
ruin your child's health."
...
The war bride must realize
from the beginning that her hus
band's army pay is small. She
is married "for richer, for poor
er," and it Is her Job to live on
his pay without discontentment
or complaint. The fifth rule for
any war bride is, "Be willing to
live on your husband's financial
scale to save him ' embarrass
ment." '
The girl who gets a job while
her husband Is at war and learns
to support herself, is helping her
nusoana more man merely by
carrying the financial burden.
After the war, many servicemen
will want to finish their educa
tion, so that they will be equipped
for a profession. The war bride
who is able to support herself
for a few years while he is pre
paring to support ner lor life,
will be of immense help to her
husband.
The woman who has a job often
proves to be a' more understand
ing wife afterwards than the wo
man who has always lived at
home. She will be, from per
sonal . experience, familiar with
the conditions under .which her
husband earns the living that
supports them, and the difficul
ties under which he must labor.
She will be better able to grasp
the problems of his daily life
when he discusses them, and far
less likely to make unreasonable
financial demands on him.
Also, by keeping busy herself,
she will be better able to stand
the strain of separation. The
woman with nothing to do is
rarely happy and has too much
leisure for brooding and self
pity. The woman who is active
and busy, who is employing her
faculties at a useful job, has less
time to worry. Then, too, she is
making herself alert. It is the
woman who lets herself rust,
once married, who becomes a
