skill. 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

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.
