Here's a tip for a bright school kid who'd like to stump his teacher: Ask her to name the fastest growing profession in the U.S.A. May be she'll say the teaching profession, which certainly is growing fast. Maybe engineering. Maybe chemistry. Maybe medicine. Maybe any one of a dozen others. Hundred to one, she'll still be wrong! By revelation of no less an authority than Arthur B. Foye, president of the American Institute of Accountants, we learn that certified public accounting leads all other professions in rate of growth. In a San Francisco speech last week, he reported that America has 51,000 CPA's today—against 20,000 in 1940. The complexities of modern business and government have made CPA services indispensable almost everywhere, he declared proudly, and pointed out that a CPA has been appointed Commissioner of Internal Revenue and another is mayor of Los Angeles. CPAing is a clean, honorable calling, and one is delighted to know that so many people are doing well at it. Yet the news is somewhat disquieting too.

CPAing is a clean, honorable calling, and one is delighted to know that so many people are doing well at it. Yet the news is somewhat disquieting, too, in a way. Gone forever seem the simpler days when all a corner grocer needed to keep track of his business was a stub pencil, a single-entry ledger, and a working knowledge of simple arithmetic. If the details of living have become hopelessly confusing for our generation, it is reassuring to learn from Mr. Foye that business schools are turning out CPA's in droves. But just thinking on the situation is enough to drive a body out of his wits! Othman's Views on Washington Scenes By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN WASHINGTON.--I have a sad little story today about our warehouse full of poison pills in Indo-China. We meant well and I don't begrudge the $389,250 that we taxpayers spent trying to make easier the lot of the natives. Only we sent 'em stuff that was likely to kill 'em. This was by mistake, of course, but I'm still inclined to resent it. The trouble, as developed by inquiries of Rep. Charles Brownson (R., Ind.) and his investigating committee, began because a large proportion of the Indo-Chinese were infected with hookworm. No wonder they didn't feel like fighting the Reds! They just felt tired, through no fault of their own. So the Foreign Operations Administration, which buys everything from paper clips to five-ton trucks for the Government, put the order in with a New York drug company. This was for 3,000,000 vials, containing five pills each, at a cost of $389,250. Hexyl-etceters, it turned out, is exceedingly potent stuff. Get some in your mouth and it'll sear the tissues, like lye. So the specifications called for each pill to be wrapped in a tough gelatine cover so the medicine wouldn't be available until it reached the intestines. The GSA contracted with the Food and Drug Administration to inspect the pills. They had a gelatine cover all Office of Industrial Resources said he wasn't sure the GSA asked FDA in behalf of FOA to make sure the pills were properly covered. John E. Murphy, the FOA controller, said he was certain the FDA was so requested. Came another plaintive cable from Indo-China. What to do with the warehouse full of pills that seemed to be growing more poisonous by the minute? In stock, this communication reported, were 2,550,000 vials, all deteriorating. "What happened to the other 450,000 tubes?" demanded Rep. George Meader (R., Mich.) at the hearing before the investigating committee. "They were administered while the shipment still was fresh," said Hingher. He meant it wasn't the pills that spoiled, but their gelatine wrappers. These couldn't take the tropical climate. "We're any people seriously burned?" asked Rep. Brownson. Murphy said there was no record of this. "How come the Food and Drug Administration inspected these pills but not their coatings?" asked Rep. Meader. Murphy said that was a mystery to him, too. "Well, how could they inspect the inside without first inspecting the outside?" insisted Rep. Brownson. Murphy couldn't answer that one, either. Neither was he sure whether we'd tried to get our support in the future. Then in by the people in the N receive a tuition from the pupil of grades 7 and 8 schools.

Wilbur William Hingher of the SONGS OF A SONNETEER By R. LOUIS SCOTT "LEG-MAN'S LAMENT!" When Persia's sad tent-maker sipped and sang In quatrains that were terse and to the point; He did not have to heed the fire-gong's clang Nor at the copy-desk his stuff disjoint To match the city editor's pet woe: He could with attar of the rose anoint His morning-after: no one bade him show Where he cadged themes—nor whence he stole his style He took the cash—and let the credit go! But he who writes today must reconcile The gory details to his sheet's dead-line: Then when his yarn is "blued," his frigid smile To Hades' depths would editors consign—Ah!

NOTHING PLUS NOTHING EQUALS NOTHING! The Publisher Comments In order to inform the voting public on the coming election for an increase in the tax benefit of the operation of the High School and new Junior High Schools, the Board of Trustees lishing a series of articles containing facts of the status of the High School. These facts are all pertinent, but there should be brought out some of the "agin" facts regarding a tax. First there is no time limit on the proposed is so worded that once the tax is voted through continue indefinitely and the public loses control proving, disapproving or revising the tax at any date except through the medium of a very lengthy cedure of petitions etc. to place the issue back ballot. It is true that the present board will, no doubt only that portion of the tax that is required. They have to take the entire 50c but can use any port as the expenses demand. But, will future Board vigilant with the taxpayers' money. Another factor to consider is that at some the present wild tendency to increase taxes, with no thought to a stopping point, the taxpayer must halt. This stopping point is controlled by the tax ability to pay for that which he deems a necessity ever the taxpayer desires is his for the asking bills must be paid by him out of his pocket through medium of increased taxes. There is also the necessity for a retrenchment in all public offices. For a period of over years all government agencies have spent with a cy toward wastefulness. It is time that these same be required to settle back and operate on a b like basis. Making them knuckle down with a d budget is to make them realize the value of a dollar. These are all facts for the voters' consideration. Only you the voter through the use of your votrogative can make the decision. Which ever w A question raised in some quarters pertains to the institution of the Anaheim Union High night school education program. The program is a vital asset for the cultural and educational advancement of the community as its scope extends from the popular for-profit English and citizenship preparation for aliens to citizens in the making. Most of the cost of the adult education program is paid by state apportionment allocated on the basis attendance figures. The balance must be paid out into funds of the district. This year the deficit relied to be balanced by the district was $2,059. The fee received from registration fees, deposits, sale of prials, and income from state funds based on averaily attendance was $20,129. The expeditures incurring salaries, administration, and supplies amounted to $2,188. Some people raise the question as to what happens to the funds allocated to grades 7 and 8 for their part in the future. The junior high system, as voted by the people in the November 4, 1952 election, will be a tuition from the elementary districts for each of grades 7 and 8 enrolled in the junior high schools. The amount to be paid will be the average cost educating a child in grades 1 through 6. This amount not meet the costs of operating the enriched junior school program as prescribed by the voters. The need balance must come from high school district to support the proposed increase in the school tax. There is no other source upon which to draw. Many people are interested as to whether the teachers at the Anaheim Union High school district are paid than in other districts in Orange county. In addition to this teachers' salaries at Anaheim High are within the range of salaries paid in the high schools county. No school has a lower minimum which encourages to most top-flight teacher applicants. Two schools have a lower maximum salary which is a drastic economic measure when seeking them replacements or additions to the faculty for the long-student population. The average salary ranks among the nine union high schools of the county because of the high percentage of teachers on the staff faculty who have reached the top of the salary scale. This is the third in a series of statements from board of Trustees which have been purposely delayed so as not to confuse the issue with the gram in all public offices. For a period of over years all government agencies have spent with a cy toward wastefulness. It is time that these sam cies be required to settle back and operate on a b like basis. Making them knuckle down with a d budget is to make them realize the value of a dollar. These are all facts for the voters' consideration.

The use of your voting pre-position, which ever way you WASHINGTON, June 22 — Was Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer an unconscious instrument of soviet policy or an actual espionage agent or a loyal but misguided scientist? These questions, which were raised concretely in a letter from William Lisoum Borden to J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI, on November 7, 1953, started the re-examination of all records and files by the atomic energy commission in order to determine if the noted scientist could be given clearance or should be denied it as a "Security Risk." From January 1949, until June 1, 1953, Mr. Borden, now an assistant to the manager of the Westinghouse Company's Atomic Power Division, was the executive director of the joint congressional committee on atomic energy. A man with a brilliant war service as an army pilot and a fine record as a law school graduate, Mr. Borden had the complete confidence of the late Senator McMahon, Democrat, of Connecticut, who was chairman of the joint congressional committee on atomic energy. After many years of reading of the classified information and evidence to which he had had access while in the government, Mr. Borden endeavored to assess the degree of likelihood as to "whether he (Oppenheimer) became an actual espionage and policy instrument of the Soviets." Mr. Gordon conclusion was this: "My opinion is that, more probably than not, the worst is in fact the truth." Since that letter was written a special board headed by Dr. Gordon Gray, now President of the University of North Carolina and formerly Secretary of the Army in the Truman administration, has ruled unanimously on their findings of fact, but by a 2 to 1 vote has denied Dr. Oppenheimer security clearance too. The dissenting member, Dr. Ward V. Evans, a chemistry professor, thought that Dr. Oppenheimer had learned a great deal failed to report the facts promptly to his government, and even five months later did not tell the whole story, despite the urgent pleas of the security officer of the army. The scientist two months later, under pressure, finally disclosed what he knew to General Groves, head of the atomic bomb project. Then Dr. Oppenheimer confessed that what he previously had told the security officer was a lie. Lawyers say this constitutes a felony under federal law. Dr. Oppenheimer claims now he was an "idiot," to do what he did, and it is plain that the security clearance he got in 1947 in spite of all this derogatory information was given largely for expediency reasons, that is, General Groves felt he was so valuable to the atomic energy project he should be given the benefit of the doubt. Inside the government it was conceded at the time that Dr. Oppenheimer couldn't have gotten clearance on a military security basis alone and that the FBI director also had "Reservations." Another strange development occurred in June, 1949, when after Dr. Oppenheimer had testified under oath in secret session before the House Un-American Activities Committee that a certain scientist was a Communist, he wrote a letter for publication to a newspaper flatly contradicting his own sworn testimony, and later justified what he did on the ground that he didn't want to hurt the scientist's chances of keeping his job at the university where he worked, and besides the congressional testimony hadn't been released to the public anyhow. Dr. Oppenheimer has admitted contributing many thousands of dollars to Communist front organizations and causes prior to 1942, and that he associated with several communists and fellow travellers while engaged in war work. The record shows that as late as 1953 he had not terminated his meetings with a man whom he knew had Day Forecast KILLA Tensions are mounting, but keep your good temper and smile.

(Distributed by United Feature) Since that letter was written a special board headed by Dr. Gordon Gray, now President of the University of North Carolina and formerly Secretary of the Army in the Truman administration, has ruled unanimously on their findings of fact, but by a 2 to 1 vote has denied Dr. Oppenheimer security clearance too. The dissenting member, Dr. Ward V. Evans, a chemistry professor, thought that Dr. Oppenheimer had learned a great deal since his earlier indiscretions and wouldn't make the same mistakes again and should be given clearance. Now it is up to the atomic energy commission of five members to review the recommendations of the special board. Judging by the sentiment in Congress, if the Atomic Energy Commission does grant security clearance, the joint Congressional Committee on atomic energy will hold extensive hearings which so far as drama and public interest are concerned could conceivably overshadow the recent McCarthy hearings. This correspondent has just finished an examination of the 992 printed pages of the official transcript approximately 400,000 words of the testimony before the special board which heard all the evidence from the witnesses on both sides. This writer's conclusion is that the most charitable interpretation which can be placed on the strange and complicated behavior of Dr. Oppenheimer as revealed in the evidence is that he was never intentionally disloyal but that his actions, as disclosed in the official record, permit the inference by the board that he might unwittingly become involved in disloyalty because of his peculiarity standards of judgment when there is a conflict between loyalty to a friend and loyalty to his own government. The special board's verdict was that Dr. Oppenheimer was and is loyal but constitutes a "security risk" under existing regulations. Thus Dr. Oppenheimer admits now that he lied to a security officer of the United States Army in August and September 1948, and also refused to give him information about an attempt at espionage in this country by the Russian government because he didn't think the plot had succeeded, and because it involved a close friend whom he wanted to protect. Dr. Oppenheimer Women's Work horn and oboe, so an organ takes their place. Dr. Oppenheimer has admitted contributing many thousands of dollars to Communist front organizations and causes prior to 1942, and that he associated with several communists and fellow travellers while engaged in war work. The record shows that as late as 1963 he had not terminated his meetings with a man whom he knew had been accused of being a Communist and who had been involved in the original attempt at Espionage in 1943. In a nutshell, Dr. Oppenheimer felt he himself was a better judge than anyone else whether any security was being compromised by his acts. Some of his fellow scientists, who testified to their belief in his loyalty and who said they do not consider him a security risk, stated that they thought his standards had been wrong and that they wouldn't apply to them in the way he did. The official record contains many references to what is called a "pattern of conduct" which apart from the indiscretions mentioned above, caused Major General Roscoe Wilson-deputy to General Groves, and later to General Nichols of the atomic energy commission—to be disturbed about what he called Dr. Oppenheimer's "pattern of action" that early in 1951 he went to the director of intelligence of the air force saying he was worried about it. This referred not only to alleged retardation in the development of the H-Bomb by Dr. Oppenheimer but to his opposition to nuclear powered airplanes, and a course of action on other military matters that were deemed by General Wilson to be detrimental to the offensive power of the strategic air command of the United States. The Oppenheimer case can never be decided fairly on the basis of an incident or on what admirers or critics testify as to their personal impression of his loyalty or security from their own acquaintance or observation, but only on the basis of all the available evidence, direct and circumstantial, specific acts as well as views—the whole 400,000 words—which has to be examined before reaching a final verdict.

It's News You'll See It In The Bulletin Women's Work By CARL EIFERT United Press Staff Correspondent MILWAUKEE (P)-Phil Spitalny and his all-girl orchestra created a sensation in American entertainment, but this city boasts an all-woman orchestra that's even more unusual. It could be called Sister Marcina and her all-nun orchestra. It's real name is the Alverno All-Sister String Orchestra. The artists are 45 Catholic sisters. Forty-two sisters play in the string section, one plays the organ, another the piano and the other the timpani. Sister Marcina is the conductor. All are members of the School Sisters of St. Francis, part of the Franciscan order. The sisters, most of them teachers at Alverno College or students for the sisterhood, gave a concert recently at the Milwaukee Auditorium. One of the stagehands said afterward he was used to seeing orchestras rehearse but that he was "surprised we didn't have any tiffs of any kind." Sister Cherubim started the orchestra in "1908 or 1909" as a string ensemble. She stepped down in 1935. Then the present head of the college music department, Sister Xavieria, became the conductor. In 1945 Sister Marcina took over the baton. The nun, who has a master's degree from the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, explained there are not enough sisters who have enough lung power to play wind instruments such as the French horn and oboe, so an organ takes their place. But it takes a skillful musician to make the organ a satisfactory substitute for brass and woodwind sections. Sister Presentia fits sister Marcina's requirements of being a "good organist who can think fast and move quickly." The group is, according to Sister Marcina, the nation's only all-nun orchestra. The conductor said "people tell us we should take to the road, but we have no time for it."
