DECEMBER 26. 1962
An Automated Society
With the warmth and joy of Christmas be
hind, and the frenetic gaiety of New Year's still
to come, there is a sort of pause, a hiatus, in hu
man affairs a time for looking both backward
and forward, for revaluation and contempla
tion. Looking backward can be more productive,
if done constructively, than looking forward, for
the crystal ball is always foggy. But looking for
ward is more fun, and educated guesses as to
what the future holds can help prepare the way.
For instance, in its 18-month look ahead, For
tune magazine sees a rising tide of prosperity,
with the gross national product rising by $50 bil
lions to an annual rate of $615 billions in mid
1904. TTHIS may well be true. Fortune has called the
turn before.
Still, however, lessons of the recent past lead
one to doubt just how widespread and general
this prosperity will be. Will it spread to the un
employed coal miner, jobless because a machine
can do his job better than he?
Or will it spread to the youngster who, for
whatever reason, never finished school, and with
out learning and without trained skills, finds
himself unwanted and unneeded.
WHAT of the millions of elderly people at
tempting to live in comfort and dignity on
tiny incomes, or on the contributions of their chil
dren? Or the "Arkies," beating the unfamiliar
pavements of Chicago in vain search for work?
The list goes on. It is a miserable list in this
richest and most affluent nation in the world's
history. Is it beyond our social ingenuity to cre
ate the kind of society where no one need go hun
gry, or have to depend on grudging welfare hand
outs for necessities and creature comforts?
Call it bleeding-heart do-goodism if you will.
The fact remains that a tremendous effort will
be needed if we are ever to reach a point where
no one has to wonder where his next meal is
coming from.
'T'HE words automation and cybernetics are rel-
atively new ones. It is our belief that their
significance has yet to become fully realized.
The industrial revolution, by substituting ma
chinery for muscle power, created technological
unemployment, but it also created an expanding
economy which, in the long run, in turn created
more jobs than were eliminated.
There is reason to doubt that an industrial
civilization based on the computer, the automatic
control, the one-man factory, is going to create
new jobs at the same increasing rate new jobs
needed for our rapidly rising population.
COME thoughtful men, indeed, envision a soci-
ety where there is a desperate demand for a
few highly trained, highly skilled technicians,
but virtually no need for anyone else, in the pro
ductive industries.
If anything approaching this kind of society
comes about, it will require a sharp revision in our
traditional ways of thinking about work, leisure,
productivity, and social necessity. It may even be
come necessary to subsidize unemployment, not
merely as a way of easing a man over a short,
difficult period, but as a matter of economic and
social policy.
It is not a pleasant situation to contemplate,
in large measure due to our ingrained respect for
work as such, for the "dignity of labor," and our
traditional contempt for non-productive mem
bers of society.
DUT if a computerized, automated society docs
bring the widespread technological unem
ployment, more or less permanent in nature, that
some men believe, it will result in a real revolu
tion, not only in our way of life, but in our way
of thinking.
There are signs that it is on its way. A level
of unemployment which ranges from -i 1 2 to 0
per cent of the work force, ami shows no signs
of diminishing, is one such sign. So is the reduc
tion in the number of rural people, as automa
tion of a sort machinery and chemicals has
reached the farm.
So are certain recent labor disputes among
the Railroad Brotherhoods, the Longshoremen
and others which are over the issues of auto
mation and fcatherbedding. The recent Kaiser
steel labor proposal is another straw in the wind.
THE challenges of an automated civilization
are formidable, but they can be met.
They can, that is, if they are faced with calm
and with rational thinking, and with facing of
facts as facts, not as disturbing hallucinations.
A largely automatic industrial base could be
so productive that it could support the entire
population in comparative luxury. But it would
not do so as long as we continue to view work
as an end in itself, and non-employment as scine
thing faintly reprehensible.
MEW concepts of education, recreation, and all
other phases of non-productive activity will
be required if such a society is to come about
peaceably. So will new concepts of the role of
work. And the actual, physical readjustment of
millions of people to a radically new social en
vironment w ill be wrenching.
In the loner run, however, we feel that the op
portunities afforded by a wealthy society, with
much leisure lime and the facilities to make intel
ligent use of it, could outweigh the potential evils.
It remains to be seen if this hypothetical au
tomated civilization is just around the corner.
But there are manv j&'ho believe it is inevitable

Political Leaders
Worrying About
1964 Candidates
Washington - lUMi - Even
before new governors and

leaders have begun to worry
about nominating "attractive
candidates" fur 196-1.
Practicing politicians have
talked with increasing ur

about the need to recruit what
are called attractive candi
dates, particularly for chal

"How long could that go
on?" I inquired.
"Exactly," he nodded, "It
went on just long enough
to prove ihe old axiom that
injustice always boomer
angs on the perpetrators.
The public felt that since
the insurance companies
were offering a third of
what was right, they would
ask three times as much as
they expected.
"It finally grew into a
mischievous game between
the accident lawyers and
the insurance companies
but the motoring public, of
course, pays the price in
end. because auto insurance
rates are pretty much based
on how much the compan
ies have to pay out In claims
each year."
"Can anything be done
about it?" I wanted to know.
He shrugged. "I don't know
what. The motorists lie about
the injuries they suffered, the
garages connive with them in
padding repair bills, and ev
erybody seems involved in a
gigantic conspiracy to defraud
the insurance companies on
the theory that unless you
ask for a tremendous amount,
you won't get anything."
"I don't suppose passing 8
law will make any differ
ence." I ventured.
"It's not a matter of law,"
he said, "it's a matter of pub
lic morality. Injustice breeds
more injustice, and everyone's
caught up in it. Meanwhile,
as usual, the lawyers get fat,
and the public pays the pi

the party label In national
elections. Growing numbers
of voters have become addict

Noted in 1956
Ticket - splitting was most
conspicuously deinonstr a t e d
in 1856 when the Democrats
won control of Congress while
Dwight D. Eisenhower was be
ing reelected to the White
House by a landslide ma
jority. There was another unusual
demonstration in 1960 when
the GOP gained 21 House
scats while President Ken
nedy was winning the White
House for the Democrats.
Ticket splitting was again
common in the elections last
Nov. 6. Among 27 states
which elected both governors
and U.S. senators, 12 elected
a governor of one party and a
senator of the other.
Outside the South, where

In the Day's News
By FRANK
Question for today:
(As this is written, there is
no BIG news on the wires.)
Where does the regional
name DIXIE (as applied to
the Deep South) come from?
TUHS inquiry is suggested by
an Englishman, Sir Wol
stan Dixie, who broke into
the news last week with the
statement (made in London)
than an ancestor of his, John
Dixie, landed in New York
with the Dutch in 1638 and
tried to grow tobacco in what
is now Harlem. He adds:
"That didn't work out, so
he took his people to Caro
lina and Georgia. He and his
family had marvelous names
as employers, and that was
why everybody talked about
DIXIE'S Land."
THERE appears to be some
thing, at least, to his claim.
William Rose Benet, in his
Reader's Encyclopedia, says of
Dixie:
"The term was popularized
by the song DIXIE, written
by D.D. Emmett, and first
sung by Bryant's Negro Min
strels in New York City in
1859 Originally, how
ever, Dixie referred not to the
South but to Manhattan Is
land, and this use of the term
was said to be current for
about 50 years before the song
was written.
"According to the account
usually given. Dixie w a s a
slave-holder of Manhattan Is
land who removed his slaves
to the Southern states where
they had to work harder and
fare worse, so that they were
always sighing for their old
home, which they called 'Dix
ie's Land.'

Pope Praises God
For Lack of Wars
At Christmas Time
Vatican City-'IPI'-Pope John
XXIII praised God today for
the first Christinas in many
years without wars or threats

peace.
The pontiff, 81, In high

mans and pilgrims in a week

Vatican s Clementine hall.

"Tuesday was the first
Christmas in many years
perhaps 30 on which there
were no wars or imminent
dangers of war anywhere In
the world.'' he said In his im
promptu speech.
"This is a great grace of
God. especially considering
that only two months ago
there was a most grave dan

life in exile and is described
as an anti-Communist leftist.
In this he has the company
of other Latin American lead
ers, including President Ro
mulo Betancourt of Venezue
la and former President Jose
Figueres of Costa Rica.
At one point in the cam
paign, Bosch threatened to
withdraw from the election
altogether, contending that
his candidacy had been dam
aged by a charge that he was
a Marxist-Leninist. He suc
cessfully fought down the
charge and the United States
has announced he will have
its support.
A land unused to democ
racy still must face many pit
falls before it can be said
that democracy safely has
been established.
The Dominican republic
has a strong Castro element
which was, however, badly
split by revelation that Castro
had extended hospitality to
Soviet missiles.
But the new government
must contend with the usual
ailments of Latin American
nations, not the least of which
is great poverty and a high
rate of Illiteracy.
For the United States, the
stake in a democratic Domin
ican Republic is perhaps high
er than it should be. But great
efforts have been expended to
JENKINS
Louisiana DIX'S Land, and
then shortened the term to
Dixie. In time DIXIE came to
mean the entire South. In the
early 1800 s, it was a term
which showed the longing of
Negro slaves for a place
where people were thought
ful of others."
T'HE World Book, however,
does give a nod to Sir Wol
stan's claim. It adds:
"According to still another
story, a man named Dixie, or
Dixy, who lived on Manhat
tan Island, was good to his
slaves. He had to send some of
them South, and they became
homesick for 'Dixie's Land.'
"From this use, Dixie came
to mean any place where Ne
groes were treated with kind
ness and consideration."
TiHERE S still another ver--
sion.
Some people contend that
the name given Mason and
DIXON'S line in some way
started the use of the term
Dixie. Everything considered,
however, it doesn't sound too
plausible.
Both Mason (Charles and
Dixon (Jeremiah) were Eng
lish surveyors. In the 1 700's a
boundary quarrel arose be
tween Pennsylvania and
Maryland. They agreed to set
tle the dispute by having the
land surveyed. They called in
Mason and Dixon, who sur
veyed the line betweeen the
years 1757 and 1763. The line
was named after them.
Before the War between the
States broke out, an imagin
ary lengthening of this 1'ne
came to be thought of as the
boundary between the freee
states and the slave states. La
ter on, it became thought of
as the boundary between the
North and the South. So there
could be something to the con
tention that Dixie was derived
from the Dixon of the Mason
and Dixon line.
INCIDENTALLY, Mason and
Dixon set up milestones to
mark the boundary they were
surveying. Through the years
souvenir hunters h?'-e made
off with a considerable num
ber of these stones, using
them as doorsteps and curb
stones.

Support for the Game
Commission
To the Editor: I thought
that the article by Milt Guy
mon, of the Oregon State
Game Commission, was very
good, except it left out the
most important part of why
poor hunting was had during
the deer season of 1962.
Hunters have got to realize
that the game department
does not control the amount
of deer killed in the state dur
ing the season. It is the hunt
ers themselves who show a
good or bad take of big game
animals, and should take the
blame of their failure instead
of shoving the blame onto
someone else.
I would like to relate this
experience I had while hunt
ing in the Klamath Falls area.
I had hunted for six hours and
only encountered three other
hunters, while the roads were
over-loaded with those hunt
ers who never get out of their
cars. What would be the deer
killed if hunters couldn't
carry loaded guns in their
autos? The game commission
would really get racked over
the coals about the poor hunt
ing conditions in the state.
