It finds the crop of trained youth still in short supply. However liberal art grads may fare, the American Chemical So ciety predicts, engineering com panies will get only two-thirds as many graduates as they need this year. The atomic age will only in crease the need for engineers, ac cording to the Engineers Joint Council, which represents 170,000 schools to induce youth to enter engineering courses And retired Gen Leslie R Groves, who headed the Manhat tan atomic bomb project during the war, contends that a principal reason for the current lack of students studying to be engineers is that too many high school stud ents aren't taught the funda mentals of arithmetic 3 Compete In Oratory mnmhrs nf Pidht eneineerine so- . lemons uMid.iy . given 1.11 cieties worried about the student j le shortage.- The big increase in .k..fT.. demand for technicians in the shortage. . h,i., ,,., ,rM. .i, crop of depression babies, now at college age; and the Korean War and draft which claimed students as they came from high school This year there will he 1.300 fewer graduates in chemistry than last spring the American Chem ical Society notes sadly. After a survey of college cam puses and of industrial companies, it reports the need for chemists, engineers and physicists is nine per cent higher than a vear aco. Talk of recession hasn't changed that picture, it holds. But it docs find the increase in the demand for scientific grad- uaies is levelling off. Last year's demand for grads was put at 25 per ceni nigner man in 1052. Colleges report vigorous recruit ing campaigns by corporations to get graduates to sign up for work wilh them. The chemical society says that this year the starting pay for chemistry graduates will average five per cent higher than last spring. At the regular Caital Post Amer ican Legion meeting at 8 o'clock Monday night Dr. Edgar Fortner, Jr., will conduct the annual elim ination oratorical contest. The. winner will go to the district elimination contest. The winner in 'the district contest will compete for the state championship, whose winnep will compete for the na tional championship against the winners from each of the 48 slates and Hawaii. In competition Monday evening will be: Louis O'Connor, senior from Stayton high school; Katherine Ru berg, junior from Salem high school, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Ruberg. 249 North 15th, Sa lem; Mac Baker, senior from Salem high school, son of Dr. and Mrs. P. D. Baker, 925 North 15th. Dr. Fortner states that the judges are outstanding Orcgonians whose names arc not made public until after the contest. This National high school orator ical contest is one phase of the American Legion's youth program. The subject to be used for the pre pared orations in the 1954 contest must be on some phase of the Constitution of the United States which will emphasize duties and obligations of a citizen to the gov ernment. The same subject and oration used in the department contest must be used in the na tional contest. A a3?
