the Jackson County Chamber
of Commerce, warned local
organizations to be on guard
against unethical fund raisers.
"Although there are many
honest fund raisers," McNeil
cautioned, "there also are
some men in the business who
use reputable community or
ganizations as fronts for high
phone solicitation which is
used by "shady promoters"
to high-pressure local resi
dents into contributing. "Some
operate'out-of-their-hats' pay
their phoneman as high as 35
per cent commission on funds
collected and add on at least
an additional 15 per cent for
themselves," he noted.
"Unfortunate experiences
with 'hit-and-run' fund raisers
can easily be avoided," the
chamber manager added, "by
following a few simple rules.
Prospective donors can pro
tect themselves by following

response to a telephone ap
peal. Printed or written de
tails should be sought before
any commitment is made.

gang of solicitors."
The chamber's warning was
prompted by an article in the
January issue of the American
L e g i on Magazine entitled
"You Can Beat the Phoney
Phoneman" by Ralph Lee
Smith. Although of special in
terest to Legionaires, Smith's
article of the methods used
by unscrupulous fund-raising
promoters concerns business,
patriotic, fraternal, civic, wo
men's, church and all other
community groups which have
occasion to raise funds for
worthy purposes, McNeil said.

Welcome Waiting High School
Graduates at Many Colleges
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press Correspondent
: Washington, Jan. 16 IPi
High school graduates with
good records will have little
difficulty getting into college
this fall.
While some big-name insti
tutions are swamped with ap
plicants, there are hundreds
of respected schools in every
section of the country where
the welcome mat is out.
These facts which may
surprise worried high school
seniors and their parents
emerged from a nationwide
United Press survey.
Although college enroll
ment climbed this year to- an
all-time high of ,048,000, the
survey showed there are still
thousands of empty beds in
college dormitories across the
land. Many schools are actu
ally suffering a shortage of
students, and are scrambling
hard for qualified candidates
for the next, freshman class.
Factors Outlined
Educators agreed that three
factors have helped to create
an erroneous public impres
sion that all colleges are over
crowded: 1. People have been read
ing about the "tidal wave"
of students 'that will hit U.S.
colleges a few years from
now, and have gotten mis
taken idea that it's already
here. This "tidal wave" is not
a figment of imagination; col
lege enrollment can be ex
pected to double within the
next decade.
But the pressure on higher
education facilities won't be
come critical until the early
1960 s when college enroll
ments begin to reflect the
sharp jump in the U.S. birth
rate which occurred after
World War II.
2. Anxious high school sen
iors, who share the popular
belief that it's already very
hard to get into college, have
been driving registrars crazy
by making applications to as
many as 15 or 20 institutions.
This growing practice of
"multiple application" has
misled many schools into
thinking that they have far
more candidates than they
can accommodate.
Last-Minute Vacancy '
The student who has been
"accepted" by several schools
obviously can attend only
one of them; at the others, he
becomes a "no show" who
throws enrollment expecta
tions out of kilter and some
times leaves a last-minute va
cancy in the freshman class.
This problem has become so
acute that many schools are
beginning to get tough with
requiring substantial deposits
with applications, or fixing
early deadlines for a show
down on matriculation.
3. Pride keeps many schools
from admitting publicly that
they have room for more stu- j
dents. There is a widespread 1
feeling that the "prestige of!
the institution requires the
dean to boast about how many
applications are pouring in,
even if he is secretly beating
the bushes for freshmen.
Quotes From the News
' By UNITED PRESS
New York Lt. Gen. James M. Gavin, in chiding persons
who looked for a gimmick in his decision to retire:
"It is very impressive, to say the least, to what extent
honesty of purpose and sincerity in adherance to a principle
are subject to searching examination."
Washington Vice President Richard M. Nixon, in calling
for equal job opportunities for Negroes and whites:
"We cannot afford any longer to deny to the United
States of America the intelligent contributions many persons
could make if they had a first-class education."
Tokyo Lt. Gen. Arthur G. Trudeau, new U. S. Army
research and development chief, on the United States' ability
to match Russia in missile development:
"I don't think there is anything we can't meet or -surpass."

West Coast to Use
Stewardesses Soon
Seattle The new 40-pas-senger
Fairchild F-27 trans
ports which will be placed in
service by West Coast Airlines
this summer will carry stew
ardesses for the first time in
the company's history, ac
cording to John Beard, per
sonnel director.
The company started seek
ing applications from prospec
tive stewardesses this week.
West Coast has used men as
flight attendants since opera
tions began in 1946.
West Coast's first steward
ess training class will start
within a few weeks and grad
uation is scheduled sometime
in March. The first of the six
Fairchild two turboprop
planes are expected to be put
into service sometime in July.
Among stewardess require
ments are age between 20 and
26, between five feet, two
inches and five feet, eight
inches in height, single with
a high school education and
either two years college or
two years business exper
ience in public contact work.
awards program sounds more
like a back-lot donnybrook
than a glittering tribute to
1957's best performances.
No Commercials Scheduled
There are other changes.
For the first time since the
program has been telecast
there will be no commercials.
The film industry is picking
up the tab.
On top of this, academy
prexy George Seaton has
asked the Theater Owners of
America to close their pop
corn palaces March 26, the
nisht the awards will be tele
cast. Wholesale resignations
were threatened and for a
time it appeared the show
might be picketed.
Selection of winners be
came almost secondary to the
brawl.
Seaton says changes were
made "in keeping with what
our viewers have indicated
they want."
Duplication Cut
Most of the cuts were made
in duplication of awards for
color and black and . white
achievements. There will be
only one winner, for instance,
for costume design whether
it be for a color movie or
black and white epic is im
material, so to speak.
Such paring will speed up
the TV show which dragged
terribly when a procession of
unknown technicians and spe
cialists trouped to the stage
to accept their awards.
Other reductions were in
the music category, short sub
jects, writing, cinematogra
phy and art direction.
FREIGHT TRAIN DERAILED
Tuscaloosa, Ala. (IP
Workers attempted to clear
the tracks near here today
where 32 cars of a Gulf, Mo
bile and Ohio freight train
were derailed by the collapse
of a wooden bridge. No in
juries were reported and 53
of the 122 cars cleared the
bridge before it gave way
Wednesday.
