Step Forward Engineers Told

"America cannot maintain a standard of living nine times that of the rest of the world and still keep them as friends," said Murray Wilson, consulting engineer from Salina, to a meeting of the National Society of Professional Engineers last night. He made an appeal to the engineer to "take a leading role in showing other peoples of the world how to help themselves."
Mr. Wilson stressed that the engineer should and could remain a professional worker if he would "stop and analyze what a labor union membership would mean in comparison with the ideals of a professional worker. The uniformity of unions as applied to an engineer is ridiculous," he continued.
N. B. Butcher, consulting engineer at Salina, called the NSPE "an attempt to form a unified group of professional engineers," and stressed the function of the society as a "form of communication between the non-union engineer in industry ad management."

Moscow Eulogizes Stalin On His Death Anniversary
Moscow—(U.P.)—Mourning banners edged in black fluttered from Moscow buildings today on the first anniversary of the death of Premier Josef Stalin.
Newspapers carried photographs and lengthy eulogies of the premier who died one year ago after a brain hemorrhage.
The eulogies made it clear Stalin is definitely secondary to Lenin in Communist history, and statements of public figures in recent months have showed that individual leadership has given way to a supreme doctrine of collective leadership.
Diplomats today recalled the tenseness of Stalin's last days and the swift developments that followed his death.
The months that followed saw the rise of Georgi Malenkov to the premiership, the swift reorganization of the government and its pronouncement of unity, the sensational ousting of L. P. Beria, development of the "peace campaign," and announcement by Malenkov of a drive to increase production and distribution of consumer goods and foodstuffs.
Observers here believe these major developments form the basis of Soviet policy now and in the foreseeable future.
Throughout the long articles praising Stalin today there ran the same theme—he is the continuer of the policies laid down by V. I. Lenin. Newspapers and the Soviet encyclopedia use the same expression.
Nearly $80 million worth of cotton is sold to the automobile industry every year.

Ever wonder what you'll be like when the class of '54 holds its 10th reunion? If you started to work for one of the Bell System companies after graduation, here's a pretty good idea.
INTERESTING, RESPONSIBLE WORK: Perhaps a Commercial Manager, the company's representative and spokesman to as many as fifty thousand customers. Or a Transmission Engineer, helping to provide the telephone needs of an entire state. Or a Supervisor in the Traffic Department, responsible for the speed and quality of local and long distance service in several cities and for the personnel relations of a large number of employees.
WE MAKE SURE THERE ARE PLACES TO GO: The number of college men hired is related to the number of administrative and technical positions expected to be available in the next 10 or 15 years. It is our policy to fill these positions from within our organization.
ARTS, SCIENCE, BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND
ENGINEERING GRADUATES are among our particular needs. The specific degree is not as important as the total effect of your college training.
