Carnegie Corp. Finds
Its Grants Decreased
By College Promoters
By the Associated Presi.
NEW YORK. Dec. 11.—The late
Walter A. Jessup, president of the
Carnegie Corp. of New York, said
in a report made public yesterday
that "in many instances it now ap
pears that managerial ability ratter
than educational leadership is the
chief consideration in the selection
of academic presidents.”
j Mr. Jessup, who died last July
| alter he had completed the cor
poration’s annual report, announced
total grants during the fiscal year
of 1943-44 of $5,873,215, Including a
$5,000,000 grant to the Carnegie In
stitution of Washington.
Commenting on the decrease in
corporation grants to colleges and
universities, Mr. Jessup found that
“10 times as many dollars are ex
pended on higher education today
as were spent 30 years ago.”
This money, he said, has come
from increased tuition fees, private
donations, tax levies and funds from
scores of foundations, as well as
the colleges' own business enter
prises.
"At any rate there is ample evi
dence that the college and univer
1 sity executive has become an effi
| cient enterpriser," Mr. Jessup wrote.
"From force of long tradition and
practice he must be constantly on
the lookout for great benefactions.
Today, to satisfy his professors or
to secure what is commonly known
as recognition, he must also peddle
small jobs to the foundations or to
industry.”

Well, the Japs finally have ad
mitted they had an earthquake.
Personally, I don't know how they
noticed they had one at all, what
with the heavy
B-29 bombings
and violent trem
ors that have
been coming out
of the Japanese
Admiralty in the
past few weeks.
In fact, there's
been so much
quaking going
on among the
officials that it
wasn’t until one
of the admirals
stepped out for
a breath of
fresh air that he Gr»cie Alien,
noticed there was an earthquake
going on in the rest of the country.
The whole situation brings up a
very interesting problem. The Japa
nese war lords plan to escape to
Germany in a submarine if things
go bad. The Nazi war lords plan
to escape to Japan in a submarine
if things go bad. Say, it might be
good business for some one to open
an under-water drive—somewhere

Ex-Capone Hoodlum
Weeps When Ordered
Back From Front
By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN,
War Correspondent of The Star and
Chicago Dally News.
WITH THE UNITED STATES 1st
ARMY, Dec. 11.—Ten years ago a
Capone hoodlum stood before a
Chicago judge and unflinchingly
heard himself sentenced to Joilet
Penitentiary for what was politely
called "manslaughter.”
Every since D day in France that
same mobster, always with the
same deadpan expression of the
hard-boiled “ex-con,” has been up
in front of the front lines, acting
as armed guard to a team of artil
lery spotters. Paroled to the Army
on condition that he behave him
self, he has regained his self-respect
and the admiration of all his fellow
soldiers. But until the day before
yesterday nobody had ever seen any
emotion on that rugged mug of his.
A few days ago somebody noticed
that he was not looking very well
and when the doctor took a look at
him he found a heart condition that
shocked him. Obviously, the man
had had a pretty dubious heart when
he entered the Army and had not
helped it any by going through
months of almost daily fighting. In
this job you are under fire most
of the time and they are generally
shooting right at you.
The doctor’s verdict called for a
good long stay in an evacuation
nospital and that was when Dead
pan first showed emotion. His
colonel got a frantic call from the
hospital and a couple of hours later
the man showed up himself.
“You just can’t do this to me,
sir,” he said. “Tell them they’re
nuts. The outfit needs me and I'm
okay. Tell them to leave me alone.’’
He was crying like a baby.
The colonel talked sensibly to him
and finally got him to go back to
the hospital on the promise to let
him come back "in a few weeks.”

DETROIT, Dec. 11.—With an ap
peal for help from other CIO un
ions, the United Retail, Wholesale
and Department Store Employes’
Union today carried its strike at
the four Detroit area stores of Mont
gomery Ward & Co. into a second
regular workday.
August Scholle, national CIO rep
resentative in Michigan, called on
all CIO affiliates in the area, includ
ing the United Automobile Work
ers, to lend "moral and financial
assistance in the strike.”
A company spokesman’s statement
that "business was up to normal”
Saturday, when the strike began,
and that “business will go on as
usual,” brought from a union

ipokesman an assertion that "we’re
toing to shut the four stores down
ight."
Mr. Scholle said there was little
loubt the UAW-CIO would "co
iperate,” since, he said, the Execu
ive Board of the auto workers’
inion voted this year an appror
>riation of $25,000 “to aid in labor's
lght against Sewell Avery (company
ward chairman) and Montgomery
Ward.”
“The CIO is lifting its no-strike
pledge in this instance in order to
protect the wartime system of set
tling labor disputes embodied in
the functioning of the War Labor
Board," Mr. Scholle said.
Mr. Scholle said the current dis
pute marked the first unqualified
lifting of the CIO no-strike pledge
since shortly after Pearl Harbor,
although strikes at the company’s
Chicago stores earlier this year were
given “tacit approval” by the parent
DIO.
Roy Scoggins, Detroit regional
director for the store employes'
union, attributed the strike to the
company’s refusal to accept a WLB
directive covering union mainte
nance of membership, dues, check
off, seniority provisions, back pay
demands and arbitration of griev
ances.
Over the week end Mr. Avery said
the Detroit strike was unjustified
and enunciated a “permanent com
pany policy" of “trying to preserve
the right of an employe to join,'
or not Join, or to resign from a
union.”
