Kennedy
County Camp in Plea to Congress
By A. ROBERT SMITH

Washington Correspondent
Washington - (Special) -When
Attorney General Rob

Corps, he cit

of success in

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. But, most im

portant, they all returned to
school with increased en
thusiasm." 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-

marily; but one-third of the
Corps would be available for
cooperative projects with the
states in state parks, for
example, for which the state
would pay half the cost.
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."

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."
