[3 [Financial Cris Meagre Salaries For Professors Is Causing Concern A Vancouver, Jan. 24-- (CP)--At the University of Brit- ish Columbia, some lecturers sweeps out the classroom, assistant professors get less than the janitor who less than plumbers and full professors with a string of degrees little more than bricklayers. One lecturer with a B.A. and M.A. drew a salary cheque ast month for $190, less deductions. waterfront office, a husky fearnings of $290. A law professor said: "We do not ask opulence, but only sufficient to 'meet the rise in living costs and [release us from financial worries l which prevent proper attention to 'our academic progress." | Herein lies the plight of the university--Canada's third largest, 'with 6,000 students -- and of all universities, says U.B.C. | President Dr, Norman MacKenzie. "If we hope to continue to keep good men and women, more money 'will have to be procured for their (professors') salaries," he said. "All our trained and qualified staff should have their salaries in- fcreased at least $1,000 a year. In- ldividual faculty members should have additional increases." May Incerase Grant (At Victoria, Education Minister 'W. T. Straith said the government fgrant to the university may be in- Beased this year to permit salary icreases.) "On its staff more than on any- thing else the excellence of a uni- versity depends," Dr. MacKenzie said. "If you can't get the best men you would be just about as far ahead without anything." One science professor said: "My department alone has lost three ex- cellent men since 1947. One who was getting $4,200 a year here went for the University of Minnesota for | $8,000. The second, making the same salary here, is getting $6,500 at the University of California. he third turned down a promotion to full professor here to go south as only an associate, but at $7,000." Dr. MacKenzie added: "Many 1 now have been offered double or briple their present salaries to go Isewhere and have refused. They ave remained at U.B.C. because of interest and loyalty and the hope that conditions might improve. Small Increase Cited "If they lose this hope, we are likely to lose the best of them." Between 1939 and 1949 the cost living went up 63 percent, The rage industrial wage in B.C. climbed 84 percent, But faculty alaries increased only 18 percent in the same period. Dr. MacKenzié said the financial risis in Canadian universities be- comes more acute as income from ndowment drops because of lower interest rates ahd bequests and benefactions - become fewer and maller because of increasing in- come and succession taxes. U.B.C. did not want to increase tudent fees. Many students were finding it tough enough sledding as it was. "We must look fo governments," id Dr. MacKenzie, : Critics "Tax" Proposed To Chancellor By EDWIN S, JOHNSON London (CP)-Hard-pressed for new source of revenue to meet the mation's mounting financial com- [mitments, Hugh Gaitskell, Chi@cel- lor of the Exchequer, has been of- fered a list of ideas to consider be-~ fore the next budget.

Report From . Westminster By ALAN HARVEY London, Jan. 24--(CP)--Remem- ber the dear, dead days when na- tionalization seemed pretty impor- tant political news? Well, there's little space for it now in Britain. Defence of the West has become the main preoccu- pation. War, rearmament and Commun- ism are the key themes of the Brit- ish press. Reflecting this trend, one newspaper recently gave over its feature columns to an imaginary Mr. Grim and a Mr. Hopeful, argu- ing for and against the prospects of a major war. In the correspond- ence that followed, a majority of readers took a hopeful view. Most of them somewhat dubiously based their good cheer on the thought that Stalin is happier the way things are now. Another paper devoted a series to "My plan for peace," as outlined by various well-known personalities, Books are not lacking on the gen- eral theme of resistance to Com- munism. In one just published -- "Policy for the West" -- Barbara Ward of the Economist outlines a triple task -- a system of joint de- fence, maintenance of stability and economic expansion in Europe, and a concerted program to raise stan- dards among backward peoples, particularly in Asia. Newspaper correspondence col- umns, recently engaged in a dis- cussion on whether or not hatred is the chief appeal of Communism, have since found adherents for the theory that power, rather than hate or money, is the chief lure. Some readers supported the idea that "Marxist-bred vanities" are an important factor. Another found it strange that the world should be obsessed with Communism "when there is hardly a real Communist left in it," and suggested that 'those called Krermlinists instead.

Mark Clark said Tuesday thee American soldier is being taught how to fight better in the dark and in the mountains and he invited Canada to send her soldiers to learn whatever the U.S. Army has to offer.
