P-l predicts $21 -million loss
without operating contract
SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Post-Intel
ligencer would lose more than $21 million
during the next five years if a joint operating
agreement between the P-l and the Seattle
Times is turned down, according to Hearst
Corp projections released Tuesday
Lawyers for Hearst, which owns the P-l.
sought to have their figures introduced as
evidence at Justice Department hearings on
the proposed joint operating agreement
Lawyers representing opponents to the
operafing arrangement and federal anti-trust
lawyers objected to the admission of the fin
ancial projections as evidence They also
objected to testimony about them from Harri
son Mitnick, Hearst treasurer and controller
"Mr Mitnick is not an economist He has not
run a paper What he is is a financial officer I
object strongly to all such testimony," said
William Dwyer, a lawyer for the opponents
Dwyer called the projections speculative’
and said they were based on "pessimistic
assumptions ”
Administrative law judge Daniel Hanscom
allowed Mitnick to continue testifying and said
he would settle the question of the projections
as evidence later
During his testimony Mitnick was not asked
specifically how much the paper would lose
between 1981 and 1985
After the hearing ended, Hearst Corp
lawyers allowed reporters to look at the
projections, which showed the $21 million loss
Before granting a |oint operating agreement,
U S Attorney General William French Smith
has to decide whether the P-l is in probable
danger of failure
Under such an arrangment all but the news
and editorial departments of the two papers
would be combined The papers are
specifically asking for exemptions from certain
anti-trust laws as provided for in the
Newspaper Preservation Act of 1970
Hearst officials have said previously the
paper lost about $14 million between 1969 and
1980
CETA locates jobs
despite funding loss
By MARIAN GREEN

Eugene's CETA organization
is winning the survival game
Last year. Pres Ronald
Reagan eliminated CETA's
public service employment pro
grams, which accounted for 60
percent of the Eugene agency's
budget, says Doug Booth, dir
ector of Eugene's CETA pro
gram
To survive. CETA changed its
emphasis to compensate for the
loss of the public service
programs
Those programs were de
signed to "put people to work in
public services until the econ
omy got better," Booth says
And while Reagan proposed to
acheive the same results with
tax cuts. Booth says that policy
didn't work because Reagan
cut the temporary jobs prior to
creating the permanent ones

"People are out of work, and
It's worse in Lane County
because the timber industry is in
so much trouble," he says
CETA now works closely with
the private sector to determine
where the majority of the jobs
will be during the 1980s, so it
can concentrate on training
eligible people for those areas,
Booth says
Last year, seven out of 10
participants in the CETA private
industry training program found
permanent employment with
those businesses
CETA is working with the
local management of the Hilton
Hotel and the Eugene Perform
ing Arts Center to train em
ployees for jobs when those bu
sinesses are completed
"Right now, Oregon's whole
recreation industry is probably
one of the leaders," he says
CETA also trains eligible peo
ple for the retail, medical and
government sectors, he adds
To be eligible for CETA’s
programs, persons must be of
low income unemployed or
under-employed and Eugene
residents, Booth says
Surprisingly, more than 75
percent of the 1980-81 CETA
participants were not on any
kind of aid. but approximately
99 percent were economically
disadvantaged. Booth says
CETA s remaining programs
which include adult and youth
employment and training pro
grams and the private industry
training program also felt the
federal cutbacks but managed
to get almost the same funding
as last year — about $2 million.
Booth says
