Engineers'
Starting Pay
A temporary increase of about
$3OO in the recruiting salary for
graduate engineering positions at
the entrance level, grade ten, will
become effective April 1, 1952 J.
Earl Kelly, director of classifica
tion and compensation in the New
York State Department of Civil
Service, has announced.
The positions affected are those
of senior engineering aide, senior
draftsman, senior mechanical
draftsman, and senior architec
tural draftsman, totaling about
600 jobs of which about 435 are
now filled.
The new recruitment minimum
for professional engineers will
bring the New York state salary
of $3541 close to the average
starting salary of $3590 offered
by private employers in New
York and will exceed the federal
hiring rate by about $l3O a year.
State salaries for engineering posi
tions of higher levels were found
to be somewhat higher than fed
eral ranges.
Last week, the state civil serv
ice commission announced that
the period during which engineer
ing candidates for the annual ex
amination for professional and
technical assistant may file ap
plications has been extended.
Applications may be postmarked
Dec. 24 or filed in person on Dec.
26. The examination will be Jan.
12:
Information is available at Col
lege placement offices and at the
offices of the State Department of
Civil Service in Albany and
Buffalo.

Council Questions
Sally's Food Costs
Nittany Council last night
authorized its public welfare corn
mittee to investigate the prices
charged by Sally's for food sold
to students at the College.
The proposal was recommended
because men in the area com
plained that Sally's prices were
"exhorbitant."
It recommended that the food
prices either be reduced or that
the council get a share of the
profits.
In other business, the council
passed a motion enabling the
Barons, social group for the area,
to discuss the possibilities of hold
ing a series of six dances jointly
with West Dorm Council and the
Pollock Council.

faces, the AP said. Local police
reported no auto injuries to stu
dents resulting from the weather.
Classes Canceled
In Erie, public school officials
canceled classes yesterday " be
cause of the. zero temperature,
the AP said. Harrisburg had an
overnight low s , of zero Sunday,
coldest there for this early in the
winter in 61 years.
Hospital emergency wards were
busy treating injuries resulting
from falls over the weekend, the
AP continued, and phone. an d
water service were cut off in
parts of the state.
Ice-coated firemen stood until
dawn yesterday fighting a $lOO,-
000 fire in the- business district
of Glassport in which some 25
persons were driven to the street
in ze r o temperatures, the AP
said. Reports from the Chicago
weather bureau yesterday indi
cated a toll of at least 117 lives
from the cold weather since it
struck Friday.
Price Controls
Needed, Agree
Ilel Speakers
Some direct price controls are
necessary during the present Ko
rean emergency, all three speak
ers at the Hillel Town Meeting
agreed Sunday.
Harold P. Zelko, associate pro
fessor of public speaking, who re
cently worked with the Office of
Price Stabilization in Washington,
said scare buying and defense
production have drawn the nor
mal supply of products off the
market, thereby necessitating
price and wage controls.
Zelko said he felt the same as
Defense Mobilizer Charles Wil
son who said
o he hated and des
pised price controls but realized
they are necessary: Zelko pointed
out that while prices have risen
ten per cent since the beginning
of the Korean emergency in June
1950, one and one-half per cent of
the rise has occurred since OPS
went into effect in February.
Dr. George Brandow, professor
of agricultural economics, said a
compensating tax on scarce pro
ducts would keep demand down
and also help balance the budget.
Brandow, who worked with the
Office of Price Administration
during the - World War, said the
money supply must be controlled
to stop inflation. He added that
the government should' cut down
on the number of direct controls.
The disappearance of durable
consumer goods indicates inflation
Dr. Arthur Reede, professor of
economics said. He added that
production and price' controls are
both needed so there is no com
petition between these goods and
war industries for scarce metals.
With the present metal shortage
the five million, cars produced this
year should not have been turned
out, Reede said. He pointed out
that since We don't - have enough
controls, We cannot cut any.

Hog Farm
Hit Hard
By Plague
Swine' herds at the College have
received a serious setback as a
result of the outbreak of a dis
ease which swept through the
hog farm. -
. "Serious losses" have been
caused by the outbreak, Lyman E.
Jackson, dean of the School of
Agriculture, announced. The out
break has reached epidemic pro
portions, he said.
Pathologists of the College,
aided by tests conducted by the
State Department of Agriculture's
laboratories, indicated a variant
hog cholera virus is the disease
o'r g a ni s m responSible for the
losses.
This particular virus was not
curbed- by the customary vaccin
ation treatments given all hogs at
the College farms, Dean Jackson
explained.
Swine experiments are being
discontinued, as a result of the
extended losses, and no attempt
will - be made to replace the lost
herds immediately, he said.
Dean Jackson also said that
similar outbreaks have been re
ported in swine herds elsewhere
in Pennsylvania and in the mid
west.
Breeds included in the College
herds were Hampshire, Poland-
China, Yorkshire, Duroc, Chester
White, Berkshire, and Landrace.
New Phone Codes
Are Now in Effect
New codes for calling repair
service and for dialing other par
ties on the same line have gone
into. effect, J66se Caum, county
manager of the Bell Telephone
Company of Pennsylvania, has
announced.
Subscribers may call re p air
service by dialing 114 instead of
dialing the operator, he said. •
To determine the proper code
for calling another, party on the
same line, subscribers with two
or four- paity service should call
the operator. The new codes will
start with 119 instead of the pres-1
ent 30.
Multi-party subscribers will
not be affected by the change in
the party line code.

hand reached out holding a tray

Early tried the same thing, and
afterwards his shipmates won
dered why he was getting so fat.
"I was lucky," Early says..
Sweat and Swore
After spending some time over
India, Early was sent on his 50th
mission, the one which he thought
was his last. As his B-25 was fly
ing over Casino, Jan. 17, 1944, I.t.
was attacked by a host of ,FW
190s. The surprise 'attack was
timed perfectly, Early said, and,,
as a result, the ship was severely
damaged. During the air battle,
three of the crew were killed, and
Early thought to himself, "I guess
this is it." He tried to make him
self as small as possible.
He then went through the
stages of sweating, swearing, pray
ing, and freezing, that confront a
person who is facing death. All
his thoughts were about what he y
had done wrong. "It's too bad, you
don't get a chance to make up for
the things you did wrong," was the
sentence that kept racing through
his mind. It seemed that this was
the longest time he had ever
spent in the air, Early said. And
only a stroke of luck permitted
his ship and crew to return to the
base safely.
Early flew on more missions,
bringing his grand total to 85, a
remarkable record. Only,a limited
number of airmen are able to
boast of such a feat. 'Early was
then discharged June 17, 1945.
After working for a few years,
he decided to come to Penn State.
He matriculated 'at the College in
1949, and is majoring in transpor
tation.
