Ray Snde?on, labor market
analyst for the employment serv'

earlier prediction that unemploy

30,000 by mid-January. He as
serted that the situation would
get worse before it gets better,
exceeding last winter's unem

Proper Sleeping Bag
Suggested lor Season
Los Angeles (IP) A lot
of boys may spend their camp
ing trips shivering because well
meaning parents give them
warm-weather sleeping bags un
suited for chilly nights.
Percy Friedman, president of
Canvas Specialty Manufacturing
Co., shakes his head over such
a prospect, although he empha
sizes the well-meaning parent
doesn't know what he's letting
his boy in for.
Friedman said "the average
parent wouldn't dream of send
ing his boy on a mountain hike
in sneakers, yet will buy his
boy a summerweight sleeping
bag and send him out to shiver
on the cold ground."
His advice to parents who
want to buy their sons such
equipment includes the recom
mendation to decide first where
it will be used and at what sea
son. Another suggestion is to avoid
sleeping bags that are to small.
Most youngsters will outgrow the
child's size in one season, and
really need a full-size.
The best covering for wind
and moisture-resistance is closely
woven fabric such as poplin,
army duck or nylon-cotton,
treated to make them water re-
pellant. Cotton flannelette is
the most popular lining, although
another recommended is Milium,
or some other insulator fabric.
A warm filling, such as duck
or goose down, or DuPont Dac
ron fiber-fill, also is important. ,

said, "and the country can use
men like Oppenheimer and Con
don." As for the schools. Urey said
the nation's education budget
"must be doubled."
"We need a thorough over
hauling of the primary and
secondary schools," he said, "and
it can't be done except through
the federal government because
of the enormous number of
hurdles in the way.
Local Pressure Groups
"A lot of people are suspicious
of 'government meddling,' but
what would the government do
that would be so terrible? It
might interfere with local pres
sure groups whose children have
finished school and who want to
cut education costs."
Urey said the schools have suf
fered at the hands of "profes
sional educators, most of whom
didn't do too well in school them
selves." "A lot of them have little back
ground in language, science,
mathematics or literature," he
said, "but they've got a lot of
theories about education."
He said more emphasis must
be put on grouping students so
the brightest can move ahead.
Urey said his own projects at
the University of Chicago's En
rico Fermi Institute are staffed
by teams made up in substantial
part by foreign graduate stu
dents. "A country of 170 million peo
ple should be able to produce
more of its own scientists," he
said.
Wash and Wear Suits
Developed in Florida
Miami Beach (IPI If hubby is
the type who splashes gravy or
soup on his suit, here's good
news.
The Florida fashion industry
has come up with wash and wear
suits even washable dinner
jackets.
The "wash 'n' wear" theme
highlights more than 350 lines of
resort fashions shown by the
Men's Apparel Club of Florida
at its eighth annual international
premiere.
Rudofker, manufacturer of the
washable tuxedo, claims the
fully-lined jacket will dry wrinkle-free
after a complete cycle
in an automatic washer.
Also prominent are multiple
piece matching beach and swim
sets. An example is a five-piece
outfit by Arrow which includes
a zippered jacket, shirt, swim
and walk-length shorts and a
cap, all done in multi-colored
ivy-league stripes.
Another carry-over from wom
en's fashions are the father and
son outfits with matching beach
jackets, shorts and sport shirts.
Colors of sports shirts are as
wild as ever loud prints and
geometrical designs. The most
popular colors in the conserva
tive lines are gray and canary
yellow.
For the dandy, the Florida de
signers have come up with just
about everything except lace.
One sport shirt has a fancy
piping of gold lurex. There's also
a line of "bandanna" shirts with
unusual kerchief collars. Fabrics
are more feminine, including
silks and satins.

Atlas Missile Believed
Nose Cone
Washington (IP) Testimony
before a Senate hearing on the
U.S. missile-satellite lag indicat
ed today that the Atlas continent-spanning
missile fired suc
cessfully Tuesday was sent up
without its nose cone.
Maj. Gen. Bernard A. Schriev
er, Air Force ballistic missile
chief, told the Senate Prepared
ness Subcommittee a complete
Atlas was not used in Tuesday's
test firing or in either of the two
earlier unsuccessful tries.
His statement further indicat
ed that the major problem con
nected with the cone is to pre
vent it from burning up when it
reenters the earth's atmosphere.
"Except for a full-scale, all-the-way
test which is proof of
the pudding we are fully con
fident that we have the nose cone
problem in hand," Schriever
testified.
Call To Unity
Senate Democratic Leader
Lyndon B. Johnson called upon
Americans today to unite and
work as they did after Pearl

of Russia in the missile race.
"We have to spend our days

the Texas Democrat said.

Farm Labor Group
Salem (IP) An inter-agency
committee on agricultural labor
was formed by Gov. Robert D.
Holmes today in an effort to
solve Oregon's chronic farm
labor problems.
The governor named Mrs. Ce

Agriculture workers constitute

migrate from other states and
Mexico to assist in seasonal farm
