They will be graduutinir from high schools with the choice of either (fointr 1o work permanently or preparing for college. Now, probably more than ever in the past, that decision may be the biggest they ever make. Secretary of Labor W. Willartl Wirtz issued a statement over the weekend which indicates that the young man or woman with only a high school education will find the competition stiffer than ever. He said jobs are going to be harder to get, especially for the h'- million new workers who would not be going on to college between now and 19G5. ' His agency's newest manpower re port, "Young Workers: Their Special Training Needs," calls for immediate ac tion programs to forestall the corrosive and frustrating effects of chronic unem ployment on non-college bound youth in the next three years. He noted that increases are expected to be especially large in the three years ahead. lie said Oregon had 60,700 young people from M to 19 years old in its labor force in 19(H). By 19G5, it is predict ed this figure will reach 75,000 and by 1970, the figure is expected to swell to 80,400. These figures are particularly signifi cant in Oregon where they will account '.iar a high proportion of the total labor rforce. Now, out-of-school youth in this ;age category account for more than 12 THE LIGHTER SIDE: Gay, Little Sport Is Place-Dropping By DICK WEST " WASHINGTON (UPI) Place dropping is a Say little sport, the rules of which are very similar to those of name-dropping. "The main difference is that In place-dropping the players win ' points for where they have been, rather than for who they . have been with. - It is possible to place-drop and name-drop at 1 ho same time,' but tills tends to get complicated and Should only be attempted by the moro advanced players.

For example, Monaco has a rating of 30 points in the fashionable cate gory and Samarkand is worth 50 points for remoteness. Scores In Both Categories '. Sonio places, such as llyannis Port when the Kennedys are at borne, are classed as remotely fnshionublo and are scored in both categories. - A player must, of course, he able to drop the place into a con versation in order for the score to count.

The figures also show that the com petition for non-skilled jobs will be tre mendous. Meanwhile, the shortage of personnel in many skilled occupations will continue to grow. This all adds up to the need for more training of one kind or another to occupy these young people. The conclusion is clear. If the choice is there, any young person with the chance should continue his education after high school. In many cases this might mean work ing, as well as going to school, but it will be. worth the extra effort in a world which is becoming more and more spe cialized. Any young person who has to supple ment his income for school by working won't be alone. Wirtz says in his report a growing number of young people are remaining in school, even though they are working at full or part-time jobs. As a matter of fact, in Oregon, G6 per cent shared their time between education and employment in 1900. This figure ranked sixth in the nation. , In college or trade school, this is no easy row to hoe, but the benefits to be reaped will be felt for a lifetime. Going to a formal college would be extremely difficult under these circum stances, but the choice of additional training isn't limited to such colleges. The number of trade schools is burgeon ing, and Douglas County's Umpqua Com munity College is tailor made for those wishing to start without the financial burdens of a formal, four-year college.

His peasant management com mittees have taken over more enced military men in making de fense policy, especially in the area of weapons decisions. Fuzzy, innocent and naive are White's words for the defense egg heads of whom, he wrote: "The very fact that some of the strategy makers refer to their jobs as thinking-about-thc-unthink-able is in itself a revelation of the weightless dreamland in which they move and have their in fluence. . .

Forced A Show than 2.5 million acres of. Al geria's richest farmland, and the government has seized scores of enterprises, including movie houses and hotels. Eventually, it is planned that more than six million acres of land will be collectivized, with the profits divided between the state and the peasants. The heavy hand of government has fallen both on Moslem and French owners, despite French protests that such action violated the accords by which France agreed to Algerian independence. Ben Bella also has declared that he does not intend to let matters rest there. Cuban Pattern lie has said that just as Cuba solved its problems, "so will we solve Ihem." To demonstrators chanting "profiteers into the sea" in down town Algiers this week he j pledged that Algeria will have "socialism a la Castro." It seems fair at this point tn recall that Castro also promised land to the peasants, that he de clared "we are not Communists" and that he pledged not to con fiscate private industry. It is also fair to point out that Ben Bella operates under enorm ous pressures, from the landless peasants, from the two million unemployed and from the slate of his treasury which could not oper ate without more than SI million per day from the French.

The term is French. That area of the world, as you. will remem ber, was once a part of French Indo China. It means the Plain of Jars, or the Plain of Pots. How did it get its name? No one knows. It is a fairly wide, flat plain, and at one point it is covered with huge'' stone jars, as tall as a man's shoulders. More than 100 of these stone pots are located near one of the strategic air fields in Laos.- Who chiseled them out and why? It's a mystery. They have been there some 20 centuries. Countless wars have surged around them most of these wars, prob ably, as meaningless as the pres ent war in Laos. It's a strange world. It always has been a strange world. From Washington: Rep.

Now how does all this fit into the spending debate It is important because a good many governors, especially some who are getting shot at for pro posing higher budgets, claim that a substantial part of the increase they seek is compelled by these "built-in" escalations. Though the same argument is made now and then at the federal level, it tends to get drowned out by other points. Nevertheless, budget specialists on all sides of the spending debate do agree that automatic escalation is not uncommon to the federal budget.
