Many Applications for Jobs With U.N.
PPLICATIONS for jobs with United Nations closed on Saturday, October 19, and they are now being looked over by the New Zealand advisory com-
mittee. Every application will be sent to New York, irrespective of its prospects, and the work of the advisory committee is not to eliminate, but to make recommendations. The committee comprises a representative of the Public Service Commissioner, a representative of the Department of External Affairs, Sir Thomas Hunter (representing the University) and A. T. Donnelly (representing the public), Not more than 20 jobs will, it is understood, be available for New Zealanders, but about 1,500 people asked for application forms, and as we went to press, about 200 applications. had been sent in. Each application takes 16 pages, being a duplicate of an 8-page form, and two copies of a recent photograph have to be supplied by every applicant. W. N. Pharazyn, New Zealand representative of United Nations, told us after seeing some of the first applications to come in, that many of them seemed to him to be "possibles." There were a good many from young people whose only experience after their school years was in the forces. No distinction will be made by United Nations between men and women-equal pay for equal work is to be the rule.
