ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington - (Special) -When Attorney General Rob ert F. Kennedy urged Con gress to autn orize creation of a Youth C o nservation Corps, he cit ed as a favor able example of success in this field an Oregon for estry work camp s e t up in Lane County by state and county authorities in 1061. "Twenty boys took part," Kennedy advised the Senate Labor committee. "They were neither juvenile delinquents nor 'All Americans,' but more or less average youngsters from impoverished families, who had begun to lose serious interest in schools. "These boys worked on full - scale Forestry Depart ment projects that summer -clearing and pruning, thin ning and park-building. Offi cials agree that the program was a total success. The boys did one-third more work than average adult crews, accord ing to State Forestry Depart ment estimates.

This was held up as a prime example of what the Kennedy Administration would like to encourage throughout the country through a YCC pro gram patterned largely on the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) of the Roosevelt Ad ministration. President Ken nedy has this proposal high on his legislative priority list for 1063. This is the first major bill to be taken up in hearings by both Senate and House. Among its numerous sponsors are Sen. Maurine B. Neuberg- er. Rep. Edith Green and Sen. Wayne Morse. The YCC would be com posed of young men from 16 to 22 years of age who would enroll for six months at a time and serve up to two years overall. They would be paid $60 per month and re ceive subsistence and health care. The administration wants to start with 15,000 boys the first year and build up to 60,000 in each of the next four years of the program. The YCC boys would be used for conservation work in the national forests and parks and other recreational areas pri- n1iig'iT"""'"JA'tiriitr w - tm.

When half the members of the Kennedy cabinet went to Capitol Hill last week to urge approval of this bill, they cited two primary reasons for reviving what was a depression-era program: 1. There are about 700,000 out -of - school unemployed youths, and the number is constantly rising. This is not only true in the cities but also in rural areas due to the de cline in agriculture labor re quirements. The national average for high school dropouts is 33 per cent - but the average for farm boys who fail to finish school is 61 per cent. Agri culture Secretary O r v i 1 1 e Freeman said this is especial ly serious because nine out of 10 farm boys will have to find work outside of agriculture, yet many will lack education al credentials or skills to com pete in the skilled labor mar ket. 2. There is a vast accumu lation of laborious tasks that would help conserve many natural resources and im prove and extend recreational facilities for an outdoor-conscious expanding population. Interior Secretary Stewart Udall noted that the CCC from 1933 to 1942 planted two billion trees, built five million erosion control dams and 18,000 new waterholes and reservoirs, erected 38,550 vehicular bridges, 3,116 look out towers, and 2,290 shelters, developed 53.31!) camn- grounds, struncr 88.AR3 milps of telephone lines, performed forest stand improvements in 4 million acres of forests and Dlant disease and insert npst control work involving 22 mil lion acres of timber. Internior agencies would use YCC boys immediately on construe tion of trails roads and other park visitor facilities, restoration of his toric sites, beach erosion con trol, archeological explora tion, well drilling on Indian reservations, range and soil Improvement programs, water impoundment and other wild life habitat improvement, such as collecting samples and field data in study of effects of pesticides and herbi cides on fish and wildlife, Udall testified. "We have an enormous backlotf of rennirempnts tn initiate an adequate program of tree planting, thinning, Drunine. insect anrl Hicoace control, and fire prevention measures," Udall added. Freeman said there is enough work suitable for YCC boys in the national forests to keep the entire 60.000-man Cnms hnsv for five years. He said there are 89 camps which could be in operation within 30 days with facilities for 7200 boys; and within 4 months another 60 camps could be operational lor anotner 4000 boys. "The emphasis of the YCC work program is on develop ment of basic and fundamen tal attitudes and job ex perience in constructive, meaningful work rather than on vocational training or the imparting of specialized skills," said Freeman. "It of fers the rievrlnnmpnt nf a sense of responsibility toward work and fellow workers. It offers a sense of accomplish ment and of self respect, and a new interest in self im provement. It offers a chance to save mnnnv as a cturf tn. ward independence. It offers nope, ccriamly both the so cial and economic values to be gained by this program of help to youth at tins most critical age will far outweigh the cost." Labor Secretary W. W il- Dennis the Menace LOCK AT THIS1 HE'S flEEU SAVlrtf jV'itSON CAN mi HIM SQMfe AWE AVWMCej lard Wirtz, whose department would administer the YCC program, estimates the cost per boy at $3,985 annually, not counting cost of materials used in work projects. The proposed federal budget for the coming fiscal year in cludes $60 million to start the program with 15.000 boys. The proposed YCC is one half of the administration's Youth Employment Act (S. 1 in the Senate and H.R. 1890 in the House). The other half would be called the "Home Town" Youth Corps, which would provide job opportuni ties in urban areas for boys and girls from 16 to 21. It's features will be covered in a subsequent article. These twin programs are major parts of the Kennedy Administration's attempt to give what Robert Kennedy calls "this new Lost Genera tion some real hope in order to prevent a shattering ex plosion of social problems in the years to come." Mongrain Makes High Score on Time Test Ashland - Philip Mongrain, Southern Oregon college stu dent from Medford, achieved the highest score in the Time Current Affairs test which was taken by the students in Dr. Arthur S. Taylor's classes. Mongrain placed in the dis tinguished classification with a score of 95 out of a possible 105 points, and will receive a prize from the Time, Life cor poration which sponsors the event.
