Newspaper Page TextWhite Collar Workers Show Gain On Number Of Factory Laborers Tuei., Nov. 28, 1961 The Newt Review, Roseburg, On. 13 By SAM DAWSON AP Butiiwii Ntwi Anilyit NEW YORK (AP-la many factory, the front office men and women are fast overtaking the production worker in numbers and also in percentage of total operating eusta. Since 1947 the number of blue collar workers has dipped 4 per cent, due largely to an average 3 per cent a yea' rise in output per manhour that often means more goods froir fewer men and women on the production lines. In the lame period the number of nonproduction workers lias gone up 63 per rent. This has had a Hg effect on overall manufacturing overhead both in total costs and in their inflexibili ty in the business cycle. In 1347, salaries counted for one fourth of total factory pay rolls. Now they are more than one-third of the total. And average annual salaries in I960 were $7,300 in manufacturing industries, compared to annual wages of 4.700. The gap of $2,600 compares with a difference of $1,900 in 1933 between average I white collar salary and blue col lar wage. I The verv increase in productivi ty, due to mechanuation and au tomation, that has let factories; hold the line o- decrease the i number of production workers has' built up much o' the increased' demand for the white collar work-! er. I This is shown in the S5 prr ' cent increase between 1952 and I960 in the number of professional and technical workers. ! I Mechanization and record keep ins for such things as pensions, ' tax withholding, hospital insur- jance, has meant more paper' work. Clerical workers are the 'largest group of white collar em ployee, but their increase since 1 1952 has been 13 per cent, quite modest compared with the gains . in the professional and technical ends of manufacturing. One reas on for the more modest growth of clerical rolls may be that here, too, much of the work is done increasingly by machines. Sales workers, managers, exec utives and proprietors also have increased in numbers in the last decade. All of this is a big part of the reason that overhead costs have risen so persistently in recent years, the Chase Manhattan Bank. New York, notes today in its re view of business. As far as production lines alone are concerned, the rise m output per man hour of work has been fairly steady in the last decade as new machines and methods took over in the factories and better plants wer built. But count in all manufacturing company costs both blue and white collar and the rate of growth in productivity has slowed notably since i955. The bank's economists think this could be due to the rapid increase in the num ber of nonproduction workers. They say ontpu per salaried employe has fallen off sharply. putting a drag on over all outp.4 per man-hour. The increase in payrolls per man-hour over output per nun hour came in tw spurts the Korean War sent both wage and salary unit costs higher. The other was between 1955 and 1H.'8 when productivity dropped while salaries continuec to rise, al though wace costs per unit of output were held down by mecha nisation. Hisht mw the business recovery is increasing productivity latter than employe compensation. The bank economists think maintain ing this trend could play a hi: part in setting the duration and strength of the upturn. Sutherlin Folks Make Trip To Visit First Grandchild By MRS.

No Accountant Ever Looked Like Joan In A Swim Suit HOLLYWOOD fAP) Should a, starlet think abou other figures' besides her 35-19-35? Yes. says Joan Freeman, who can handle these figures and the other kind, too. And get this: She wants to be a certified public accountant. No CP A ever looked like Joan in a bathing suit. But if it's a publicity stunt, she i is going to extremes to put it across. She is taking six hours ! of accounting and economics at: VCLA every week. I tracked down the budding ac countant at 20th Century-Fox dur ing a lull in filming of "Bull Stop." the ABC series. How did Joan happen to favor financial studv? I 1 was taking a theater arts course at VCLA," explained the I brown-haired beauty. "I realized that the requirements included lighting, set-designing and all 1 kinds of stage craft that offered much work for few units. So I'd be working all day. then coming back to school at night to appear in plays. That was too much for so little credit. "I looked through the catalogue and a business course seemed more practical. I figured if I did make a go of acting it would help to know what to do with money. 1 might not be able to keep any of it, but at least I'd know where it was going. Economics is tough, but I'm enjoying accounting." So are the male accounting stu dents, no doubt. Price-Waterhouse might well send its talent scouts out to ee her. Can you imagine a doll like Joan handing out the envelopes at the Oscar fest? Right now her mind is more on hopes of being on the receiving end of awards. She is off to a good start, scoring some good dramatic moment; in "Bus Stop." She still lives with her parents in Burbank and drives to work in the family ear. Joan prepares her own income tax return, which is pretty good for a 20-year-old who is also a girl.
