APRIL 4, 1961 A 13 Job Outlook for College Graduates Declared Dim on Many Campuses Recruiters Active But Fewer Jobs Said Available Editor's note: This Is the first ot two - aispatcnes sizing up job pros vtets for this year's cron of col lege graduates. It deals with the overall ouuook ana tne recruiting now under way on campuses. The second story will report what re cruiters are looking for this spring and the salary prospects of the dune graauate. .... By EVERETT R. IRWIN ' UPI Correspondent The job outlook for college graduates this recession year is not so rosy bn many cam puses as it was in 1960. But prospects are brighter than in the 1957-58 business decline, a United Press Inter national survey showed today And older generations would have been downright delighted at the employment opportunities open to the youths who will pick up their sheeDskins in June. , Business and industry re cruiting are in full swing on campuses across the nation. To find out what is happen ing, United Press Internation al checked 76 college and uni versity placement bureaus and dozens of state and private employment agencies from Maine to California. ; In general, the survey showed: 1 '. -There are as many or more . recruiters than a year ago on : most campuses. - - Employers Choosier i U nn!lAUA -fcwci juua aic Dvounuia at one-third of the institutions . checked. . - , -A Employers -are choosier arjout tne students mey nire and are putting greater stress on grades and specialization. -Despite the softness in de . m a h d, graduates generally will-start at higher pay than those who moved into the working world a year ago; Placement officers at 25 of the !76 colleges reported that fewer jobs are available this spring than last, Their esti mates ranged from a "slight dip'! at Syracuse University to 25 per cent decreases at North eastern University and "half the "job offers" at the Univer sity of Maryland. Thirty-two schools expected the number of jobs to be about the same as in 1960. Only seven reported more jobs in sight.. Twelve declined to make an estimate, most of them on the grounds It was ' "too early to tell." The schools with the most optimistic outlook were the University of Oklahoma, Uni versity of Kansas, American university, Adrian uonege, Northern Illinois , University and Eastern Illinois Universi ty. The latter two principally produce teachers, in demand throughout the nation. ; . Findings Similar : The findings of the UPI sur vey paralleled roughly a pre liminary . check of 34 New York City area schools by the metropolitan New York Col lege Placement Officers Assn. In that survey,. 15 schools. re ported a drop of from 8 to 25 per cent in the number of jobs available, 17 reported about : the same number of jobs as last' year, and two saw a 10 per cent increase m jod oppui- : Twenty-seven colleges re ported 'more recruiters on campus this year than in 1960, . and 33 told UFI they naa or expected as many as a year ago.

Gen. Robert Y. Thornton said Monday. Robert F. Rittenhouse, board director, asked the question in regard to designa tion of several such areas on Klamath lake. Thornton said that to set aside a given area for testing amounts to legislation and "impairs the rights of others to use the waters of Klamath lake."

(UPI Telephoto) Vast Markets Declared Open For Enterprising Home Builder Salem-(UPI) -Three self-proclaimed "serfs and peons" of the migrant farm labor world picketed outside the legisla ture Monday while a commit tee groped for a law to safe guard both these workers and the perishable crops they harvest. The testimony before the Senate Labor and Industries committee came on a bill to curb- farm picketing during harvest season. Solutions Suggested Chairman Alfred Corbett (D-Portland) said farm elec tions machinery may be the answer, and a labor spokes man suggested the solution may lie m arbitration of the wage and work condition dis putes. , i The migrant workers, al most completely unorganized, had no spokesman of their own at the hearing, but while it was going on three farm laborers paraded outside car rying signs that read: , We the serfs and peons of the U.S.A. demand equal rights, social justipe, full rights to picket."

There is an unbelievable market- ;of 40 million better quality .homes for existing homeowners. This, he said; is a relatively sophisticated mar ket that must be offered a new product outstandingly superi or in amenities and in value to. what it now owns, "and at a reasonable price. It is estimated that 40 mil lion present homeowners can afford to exchange their pres ent homes for new and more desirable ones, even at a cost of 50 to-70 per cent more than their old houses presently are valued. . . ' . : , ; More Rental Apartments Rental apartments have been booming in recent years, but Marqusee sees even fur ther room for expansion This demand will reflect increased redevelopment in central cit ies, scarcity of vacant sites in adjacent areas, and the desire of an increasing number of homeowners to forego the re sponsibilities of home mainte nance. ' The real estate executive believes that homebuilders can profit by the experience of the auto industry with com pacts. Certain types of house holds, .increasing in propor tion to the total population, require and can be sold' an honestly compact house, he declared. Timber Taxation Hearings Reach Complete Impasse ' Salem-OIPll-The House Tax committee hit a complete' im passe on timber taxation Mon day pight, and splintered off into sub-committees in an ef fort to achieve bills a major ity of the committee can ac cept. ' ' ', Chairman Richard Eymann said he will name a subcom mittee to revamp the Indus trial Forest association timber tax plan for a value tax on Western Oregon trees that would triple in the year of harvest. ' Reps. Victor Atiyeh and R. R. Raymond were named to amend the IF A plan for a sev erance tax on Eastern Oregon timber. ' It was a moot victory for the IFA plans, however, and a series of votes indicated Rep. W. O. Kelsay, chief sponsor, lacked the strength at present to pass them out of committee without any changes. Eymann and Rep. Clarence Barton, seeking a wider sell ing rate scale, that would place stiffer taxes on fast tim ber cutters, held their own during the committee voting. - They indicated they will make further tries to incorpo rate .the sliding scale princi ple into whichever bill finally wins committee approval. It was the committee's first real effort to reach any final decisions on timber taxation, considered one of the session's most pressing problems. This market includes the aging, . the young rr.arrieds, childless couples of all ages and, in fact, single adults pre ferring home ownership. Marqusee emphasized, how ever, that in this market tra ditional concepts of houses and rooms may have to be re valuated. He sees a market here of 10 million units. Vacation Area Demand More and more leisure-loving Americans are becoming interested in homes away from home, including vaca tion cottages at the shore or in mountain and lake regions. The consumer purchasing power is available, he declar ed, and such housing has the ability, to compete successful ly for' the dollar with other tess attractive, or rewarding possessions. V . He concluded that the clue to the future of the home building industry lies in its ability to expand its markets in these directions. . And he said this could be done through better and greatly increased programs. careful site selection, expert land and community develop ment, creative design and en gineering, efficient production techniques, skilled business management and Imaginative marketing programs, .

Mark Hatfield said it might be unconstitu tional. Elwood Taub of the Inter national Woodworkers of America said . the bill was evoked, not for crop protec tion, but because of the "pros pects of organization" for farm workers. He said that it would cut the roots of the bar gaining process. Bill Said Needed Chief sponsor Lyndel New bry (R-Talent) said the bill was needed because farmers are the only people for whom a brief strike can bring "loss of their total annual produc tion."
