Columbus, Ohio, April 27—(UP)—A world already organized by unemployment before the legion of American college graduates who will leave the tranquility of the campus in June to seek places and start careers.

The school has made a survey of employment who forecasts for its graduates of 10 colleges and universities, and whose degrees, severe and immediate struggle.
Conditions at other large universities are thought to be no different. Everywhere was reported an oversupply of overtrained workers in the professions Young industrial engineers, if they obeyed instructions, were approximately $80 a month.

County Attorney Investigate Causes When Hospital Refuses Information
Oklahoma City, April 27—(UP) —In the investigation in the death of two University of Oklahoma co-eds was ordered today by county attorney Lewis R. Norris. The dead girls were Virginia Wykoff, junior of normal, and Nancy Kirkman, senior of Alabama Culpa Falls, Texas, listed at Oklahoma general hospital as Mrs. Frank Lee.
City officials refused to accept the certificate until after a conference, as a city ordinance state contributing as an act of death of death must be shown, they said.
Dr. W. B. Bizzell, president of the University of Oklahoma, said the women's deaths had caused "grave concern" at the school. He would not reveal the causes of death as reported to him.
Death certificates submitted at noon today after an investigation had begun said the deaths had been caused by general "sepsis" blood poisoning.
SCHOOL 'CONCERNED'
The hospital refused to reveal the causes of the deaths.
Mills Criticizes Bonus Bilp
Because the certificates do not mature until 1945 the treasury secretary charged the bill "is designed to pay at least $3 million" and there was a currency shortage, and said such inflation as proposed in the Patiman plan would be "fatal to the treasury." The statement that the way to credit to work was by making public confidence.
Lawyers are too numerous and many scarcely make a living and none of the 1931 graduate architects here has obtained employment. Half of the graduated teachers will find all positions filled. About one fourth of the electrical engineers will find employment, the university reported.
Only those receiving the degree of doctor of philosophy can look forward to an economic work with certain places for them, and most of these follow highly specialized and unusual employment. The departments of journalism reported that the most glamorous outlook. Newspapers are not increasing staffs.
Mills said proponents of the measure would "set the presses to work printing dishonest dollars and to deliberately adopt this instilent and essentially dishonest device, to my mind, be worse than an act of financial bankruptcy. It would constitute moral bankruptcy."
He appeared before the house way and means committee for the administration in opposition to the bill which provides for immediate payment of adjusted service certificates through the bank of $2,000,000 in new currency.
Dr. James L. Tryon, director of admissions at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, consulted from 10 to 15 students about graduate engineering work yesterday afternoon. He also met with the engineering faculty to talk over work offered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for graduate study.
Washington, April 27—(UP) —Passage of the Patman $2,000,000 bonus bill would impair private and public credit, prolong the depression, and mean payment of "dishonest dollars" to the veteran. Secretary of Treasury Mills charged today in a statement bristling with criticism of the measure.
Dr. Tryon left last night for Denver. He is visiting engineering schools particularly for the purpose of consulting engineering graduates about further academic work. His last trip here was two years ago.

President Hoover Urges Reduction of Expenditures
Speech Before Convention of Governors Says Land Tax Is Not Fair
ADJUSTMENT NEEDED
Richmond, Virginia, April 27 — (UP) – President Hoover urged on the nation the necessity of adjusting taxation and government expenditures as “the surer way” to do so. Mr. Hoover addressed the twenty-four conference of governors here this afternoon after coming by motor and train from Washington. The President gave the governors, gathered from all over the country, a carried home and applied through every phase of government from the town council uplift. Among his recommendations was a plea for lower taxes, elimination of duplication in taxation, and more efficiency.
"One of the taxes which is responsible for a disproportionate part of the hardship of our present tax system is the present property tax." Decreasing prices and decreasing income result in an increasing burden on property owners in rural and urban communities which is becoming almost absurd.
"The tax burden on real estate is wholly out of proportion to that of other forms on property and income in the state. We cannot afford today than tax relief, for I believe that it can be demonstrated that the tax burden on the farmer today exceeds $10 billion."
Mr. Hoover pleaded for co-operation in every phase of government. He emphasized that the stability of the country can be maintained only "through cooperation."
