University A great majority of employers contacted are optimistic, at least for the immediate business. future. The University of Notre Dame, which finds employment demand "somewhat less this year but not as much less as anticipated, observes, "The majority of employers with whom we have talked appear to feel that the period immediately ahead will be good for business, but many are still un-cap-and-go- - certain.

Regarding the -outlook- for women graduates, Ohio- State- University reports, "The most opportunities are for girls who can combine secretarial skills with their major studies.

As usual with the capture of a spy in the United States, the agent had operated very successfully, delivering, according to reports, top atomic bomb secrets to Russia. Gold, whose family name is Goldnitsky, "has admitted his contacts with Dr. Klaus Fuchs, the imprisoned British atomic scientist, and has givenTTdetalled account of his activities, the announcement said. Gold was reported to have received written and oral information concerning atomic projects in this country and delivered them to agents of' the Soviet Union. "I thought that I would be helping a nation whose final alms I approved along the road to industrial strength. Particularly was I taken with the idea that whatever I did would go to help make living conditions far more advanced along the road as wd know them here in the United States, Gold said. The charge against Gold said that he did "conspire to obtain "documents, sketches, writings, notes and information relating to the national defense and with intent and reason to believe that it was to be used to the injury of the United States and to the advantage of, a foreign nation, to wit, the Union of Soviet Socialistic Republics . . As a sidelight, they also noted that, d in a manner, a Russian spy has admitted that living conditions in the Soviet are not on a standard with the United States. back-hande- Friends To millions in Canada and the United States it seems like only yesterday that the nations newspapers carried headlines of the birth DRAFT LAV: of the Dionne quintuplets.

Ce-cil- 16-can- five-ye- ar con- tract, hailed by labor and management alike as an important stabilization move in the labor world, has been signed by. General Motors Corp. and the CIO United Auto Workers. In, the eyes of many, the most startling thing about the contract was not Its terms and duration, but the fact that both management and labor are happy about it. The' agreement includes a four cents an hour increase, $100 pensions for retired workers, and a cost of living formula. The union estimated immediate benefits total 19 cents an hour. presiWalter Reuther, UAW-CIdent, described the agreement as "the most significant development in labor relations since the mass production industries were organized.

The East German Communist government charged Americans with spraying potato bugs over East Germany from planes. According to jfeports circulated by radio from Soviet dominated East Germany, the American planes flew over forbidden areas of the occupied zone, that is, outside the prescribed air corridors to Berlin and spread potato bugs. In all seriousness the Germans reported: "Fotato bugs were found In bunches up to 100 after an American plane had passed. There is great indignation among the population about this criminal plot. American airmen laughed The and one said he didnt know there was a potato bug east of Kansas. heartily AIR FORCE: Asks 200 Million Backed by Secretary of Defense Johnson, air force leaders had asked for $200,000,000 increase in the budget to cover the purchase of new aircraft and the modernization of existing tactical and training planes.
