FAIRLY EASY, TOO Stockton, Calif. DPD Stock ton's new "escape-proof" jail suffered its first setback : Tuesday two men escaped. Donald Emery, 19, and Wil liam Nooner, 25, climbed over a fence via a catwalk normal ly patrolled by two guards. The guards were presiding over a recreation period in the jail yard. IT'S ALSO SPRING : London-(UPD-Robert Robert son, 34, was. fined $22.40 for speeding and careless driving after he was seen kissing his wife while driving at 50 hour. "My wife snuggled up to me and kissed me," he told the judge, "so what could I do but kiss her back." iallzed fields over students who show only a broad, gen eral education. In a year when many col lege placement officers report a "soft" job situation, gradu ates in the lower half of their class and liberal arts students with no specialty are finding the job hunting difficult. . These general trends show ed up repeatedly in reports from placement officials of 76 colleges and universities to United Press International. They were reflected, too, in checks made by UPI reporters with dozens of state and pri v a t e employment agencies from coast to coast. Pays Keep Rising But the survey also showed that despite fewer jobs for graduates in many areas, start ing salaries will continue their upward trend this recession year. In general, 1961 graduates appear to be signing up at 2 to 5 per cent higher pay than their 1960 predecessors. Engl neering graduates command almost double ' the starting salary of 1950 graduates, Northwestern university re ported. Dozens of schools surveyed by UPI said recruiters are seeking interviews only with students in the top one-fourth or one-third of their class. Harold Dreher of Cleveland president of Dreher Employ ment Service and president of the National Employment as sociation, said jobs definitely are fewer, "It's not going to be easy for the liberal arts major," he said. "This is a world of spec ialists." . : , Spokesmen for the Univer sity of Oregon and the Michi Ban Employment Security Commission expressed belief that, although the economy is soft at the, moment, some firms are looking ahead to the future - trying to "fill their pipe lines" . with potential executives they might not be able to hire when competition for graduates is more intense. Training Programs On the' other hand, several placement officials reported that, companies were paring down their young executive training programs. ; Most placement bureau's re ported engineering graduates - particularly electrical and electronic engineers - most in demand. They're followed closely by science specialists- physicists and chemists - and by mathematicians and ac countants. i : At the University of Texas the demand for teachers is up more than 100 per cent , over last year. California teacher recruiters are offering $2,500 a year above Texas levels and have invaded states as far away as Georgia. Beginning engineers are being hired at an average monthly wage of $520 at Northwestern university, $550 to $600 at George Washington Damage Suit Filed In Circuit Court Paul - E. Hewitt, Central Point, "is seeking damages from Jerrold L. Murphy, Eu gene, as a result of an auto truck accident Oct. 11, 1960, on Ditch Creek rd. ncr Wi-mer. Hewitt is seeking general damages of $2,500 and special damages of $69 in a first cause, and $2,112.40 general damage and $1,902.50 special damages in a second cause. Hewitt charges that Mur phy forced his truck off the road, and into a ravine where the truck and trailer rolled o,-er. Hewitt suffered severe in juries, lost a load of logs, the truck was damaged, he lost the use of his truck for haul ing logs, and suffered other property damages, according to the complaint.
