VVHATS THE MATTER WITH HER ? ( JFK More Cautious Prophet On Reducing Nation's Jobless By WILLIAM J. EATON United Press International Washington (UPI) Presi dent Kennedy took office in Jan uary, 1963, with high hopes of slashing the nation's jobless rolls to 4 per cent of the work force by mid-1963. Now that his self imposed deadline is past, Kennedy is a much more cautious prophet. He foresees a reduction in the pres ent 5.5 per cent jobless rate to 5 per cent by early 1966 if Con gress approves his economy stimulating tax cut. The most recent job figures, for August, indicate that un employment fell below 4 million for the first time in eight months. But the seasonally ad justed rate of unemployment, the key indicator, was virtually unchanged at 5.5 per cent of the labor force. How could the President, aid ed by an array of top econo mists and the government's vast data- collecting machinery, have been so far off in his earlier estimate? No Simple Answer The answer is not simple. But a fast-changing technology, a flood of teen-age job seekers and the lack of spectacular economic growth have been major factors. Most economists involved be lieve the administration has taken all the steps advisable to hold down the unemployment rate despite the inability to roll it back to the pre-recession level of 1959. Kennedy is reluctant to use certain stimulants such as a general lowering of interest rates for fear it might further weaken the U.S. balance of pay ments position or lead to fur ther losses of gold. No Unanimity Noted There is no unanimity on the long-range answer to the prob lem. Chairman Waller Heller of the President's Council of Economic Advisers has argued that step-ped-up demand is the basic answer. They would spur con sumer buying power by encour aging business investment and public spending. Others primarily federal He. serve Board Chairman William ; Mcc. Martin Believe that so called "structural unemploy ment" is the major cause of nagging joblessness. In their view, the major prob lem stems from changes in technology or market forces 3-Alarm Blaze In San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) - A four story apartment building at the corner of Steiner and Hayes streets burst into flames Satur day, and a fire engine rushing to the scene collided with an auto. The three alarm blaze was brought under control about 45 minutes after the first alarm was sounded by 140 men man ning 30 pieces of equipment. There was no Immediate Indi cation as to what caused the blaze, or estimates of damage. The auto and the fire engine collided at the corner of Van Ness avenue and Hayes street. Taken to Central Emergency hospital were Elaine Barrett, 20, Venice, Calif., and Nancy Hoppe, 20, Los Angeles, occu pants of the car. Both were in serious but not critical condi tion. William K e n n a, a fireman standing on the rear platform of the truck, suffered a "hip contusion." He was released after treatment. FOR THE FINEST IN DINING Dining Room Open 5 pm to 11 pm Sundays till 10 p.m. CLOSED MONDAYS far Bwiquiia I Partial MEDFORD Time - that leave workers stranded in an obsolete industry or out of work because machines have replaced them. Coal mining, with its pockets of long-term jobless in Ken tucky, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, is frequently cited as a prime example of the Mar tin theory. Better Education - The solution, If you accept this view, is better education, retraining and improved labor markets so job openings can be matched up sooner with the right worker. Kennedy's program has pro ceeded along both lines of at tack on the theory that both faster economic growth and bet ter job preparation are needed to get an edge in the battle. But here are some of the problems Kennedy has encoun tered along the way: Swiftly changing technology. The Labor Department has re ported that productivity is in creasing at a more rapid rate than in the late 1950's. Output per man-hour is rising at the rate of 4.5 per cent a year. This indicates that business invest ment in machines, and resulting manpower economies, are ad ding to the jobless problem. The Labor Department esti mates that 1.2 million jobs are lost each year because of new machines or more efficient methods. Surge of Youngsters Teen-aeers. The surge of youngsters into the labor force in recent years, coupled with a growing scarcity of unskilled jobs, has led to skyrocketing teen-age unemployment. It was as high as 18 per cent this spring and now hovers around the 15 per cent level three times the national rate for all age groups. Lack of skills is cited as a ma jor reason for the teen-age problem but some economists contend there would be jobs enough if the economy had more zip. The bumper baby crop which immediately followed World War II now is coming into the labor force with millions more expected to be knocking at em ploycrs' doors in the next few years. A recent Labor Department study said the high postwar birth rates will increase the number of job-seekers in the 14-24 age group by about 3.3 million between now and 17. This is double the increase dur ing the preceding five years. Finish High School Since jobless rates increase as education declines, President Kennedy and members of his cabinet have been urging youngsters to finish high school Driver Cited After Medford Accident John Gray Ucrlings, Central Point, was cited by Medford police Friday night for not hav ing a driver's license in his possession after a two-car col lision on North Riverside ave. at Walnut st.

Growth and jobs. An AFL CIO economist has worked out a chart indicating that it now takes three times as much economic growth than it did a decade ago to create jobs, fig ures compiled by Nathaniel Goldfinger show that one job was created lor every $10,326 increase in the gross national product after the '53-'54 reces sion. The comparable figure was $31,728 following the '60 61 business slump. He believes this indicates that more money is being invested in machines but fewer men are being used to increase the GNP. Some economists contend the change reflects a greater oro- portion of spending in industries wnich use less manpower tn their production processes. For example, big construction pro jects use about 20 per cent more workers per dollar of outlay than missile manufacturers. A greater percentage of the mis sile funds goes for more ex pensive materials, design and engineering work rather than production line hands. What's the answer? Would Start Solution The president believes his $11 billion tax cut and other econ omic legislation will start to solve the unemployment dilcm ma. His critics contend that an entire package of legislation, plus a 35-hour week, are re quired. Other observers contend that Congress is in no mood to ap prove a massive public works program or even pass half of Kennedy s requests. These ob servers say that the jobless problem must arouse greater national concern before it can be attacked with any hope of early success.
