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 -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. Only, five reported a
arop-ott in recruiting. -.-:

Zoning of Waters
Declared Illegal
, Salem -WPD - The State Ma
rine board has no authority to
zone waters for testing racing
boats or holding speedboat
' races, Atty. 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."

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."

10 Million Homes Possible
r This economy market, plac
ed by Marqusee at 10 million
units, includes shell houses,
finished houses and complete-it-yourself
houses that should
be, produced through the de
velopment and use of ingenu
ity, imagination, new methods
of construction and new build
ing materials.
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.

criminate against farm work
ers on a right-to-strike that is
allowed all other workers.
Later, Gov. 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." The committee took no fi
nal action.

for their big part in the
Savings Bond Program
From the very start 20 yean
ago, the U.S. Savings Bond
Program has been lucky In
having the dedicated support
of thousands of American
women.
Their wonderful cooperation
has ranged from the War Bond
tours of Hollywood's brightest
' stars to helping to operate the
Savings Stamp Program for '
the Nation's small fry.
The ipecial talent ot
American women
Studies have shown that Amer
ican women tend to be con
servative with dollars. Their
long look at future security is
apt to be pretty practical. So,
for them, Bonds and the Sao
lngs Bond Program are a
natural,
, Thousands of husbands and
fathers owe their Payroll Sav-
fflffa nest egg to the rnftatnos
of their wives. Many a boy and
girl wouldn't have a full Sav
ings Stamp book, but for mom.
And many Bond would not
be sold, but for the army of.
women volunteers who ' put
their it.rength behind the Sao
- ings Oond Program,' s
