Pacific Coast Gets
Rain; New England
Area Still Parched
By United Press International
Rain washed the Pacific
Coast and Great Plains today
but failed to touch tinder-dry
forests and fields from New
England to the Southwest.
Thunderstorms dumped near
ly an inch of rain on northern
California during the night, and
a third of an inch fell at Lem
mon, S,D,
Scattered fires ate through
prairie and woodland in New
York State, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania and Missouri.
Foresters feared the blazes
would flare into infernos be
cause of the dry conditions.
Agriculture experts and
weather observers started to
total up the economic loss and
fire danger wrought by the
long drought across the Midwest
and Great Lakes states.
An area-by-area look at the
situation:
Northeast: Most of New
York's woodlands and forests
closed to public because of
fires. Rangers reported 63 new
fires Monday, 204 so far this
month a record number.
Woodlands also closed to pub
lic in New Hampshire and Ver
mont. More than 100 new fires
Monday in Massachusetts.
Great Lakes: Pennsylvania
reports 68 fires this month. One
has been burning for seven

OREGON
Tax Reduction Said
Solution To Unmployment
Bv YVONNE FRANKLIN
Mail Tribune Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON The Admin
istration's tax cut bill is only a
drop in the legislative bucket of
need for federal action to cope
with the crisis of unemployment.
according to testimony of ex
perts before a Senate subcom
mittee studying the effects of
automation on unemployment.
The crisis, in human terms, lies
in the loss of 40.000 jobs each
week due to automation.
Senate Labor and Public Wel
fare members have been listen
ing for weeks to industrialists;
experts who install and program
the new computor systems; la
bor leaders; economists and
many others who are disturbed
over the social consequences of
the technological revolution.
Prof. Charles C. Killings
worth, a Michigan State econo
mist, described with chilling
graphs and picture slides com
pletely automated plants where
not a single human being was
in evidence. He described the
computor system and how it
works, not only in some in
stances to control all the opera
tions which go into the making
of a product; but, should some
thing go wrong, operate auto
matically to repair and correct
itself untouched by human
hands.
Fraction of 'Iceberg'
He thought the 6 per cent un
employment figure was but a
fraction of a vast "iceberg" of
illiterate, jobless, unskilled
Americans, living on a bare
subsistence level. He contended
that the tax cut bill would de
crease unemployment by 1 per
cent at most.
The Administration has fail
ed to take into consideration
that a bottleneck to increased
growth in the economy lies in
the unmet need for highly skill
ed, literate manpower to meet
the changing job market, and
for jobs that now go begging.
He pointed to the changing
job patterns, with the decline
in blue collar workers in goods
producing industries and the ac
celerating rise in white collar
jobs in the services-producing
industries.
He maintained that adapting
the labor force through educa
tion and training to changes in
the job market was crucial to
the survival of American so
ciety. He said that the funda
mental effect of automation is
to increasingly push down the
demand for workers with little
training while rapidly pushing
up the demand for workers with
large amounts of training.

plant and equipment, without
large increases in our invest
ment in human beings," Kil
lingsworth said, "seems certain
to enlarge the surplus of under
developed manpower and to
create a shortage of the highly
developed manpower needed to
design, install and man the
modern production facilities."
In Oregon, a recent Lane
County skills survey seems to
bear this out. It reported that
an indax of the rapidly changing
economy is that the community
already has an oversupply of
unskilled and under - skilled
workers and is facing critical
shortages of people trained to
do technical and skilled work,
such as accounting, clerical
work, plumbing and installing
electrical systems and equip
ment. Almost to a man, the witnes
ses before the Senate subcom
mittee said that the problems
caused by the technological rev
olution are simply too big for
the individual states, industry
and labor unions to deal with.
They contend that the Gov
ernment needs to meet the cri
sis of unemployment and the
need to train people for an
automated world with massive
planning and legislative action,
right now, rather than with the
present leisurely patchwork ap
proach, to provide the skilled
and qualified labor for the new
space pge.
Most pleaded for more Feder
al aid to education, and asked
for:
Bigger federal programs to
aid education at all levels.
Re-evaluation of the second
ary and vocational school sys
tems by the States to hold the
drop-outs. They pointed to suc
cess of work - study programs.
More extensive loan programs
for collage students to provide
needed brainpower for the jobs
that go begging today as well
as future needs.
Guidance counselors at the
junior high level to motivate
youngsters not only to stay in
school but to prepare for the
space age jobs.
Increased salaries to attract
more qualified teachers.

to provide extraordinary educa
tional help to minority groups
who have not only been de
prived of educational opportu
nities particularly those now
in the South and those who have
migrated northward and west
ward in search of jobs because
of the agricultural revolution
but deprived of job opportuni
ties because of race.
Future Described
The automation experts de
scribed the future: automated
medical law and other libraries.
Phone systems transmitting
data by electric impulses.
Banks and stores working to
gether to eliminate the need to
carrv moncv, using automatic
devices which simply deduct the
amount of purchase from your
bank account.
Hospitals which have pro
grammed computers to diag
nose human illnesses.
Instant language translation,
say from Kussian into English,
Computers in cockpits of air
planes which perform naviga
tion duties.
Inventory control.
Some companies are even
using the computer for decisions
on such matters as where a
plant should be located and
whether Tom Jones or Bill
Brown should be promoted. And
on and on.
Automation was described as
perhaps leading to a Golden Age
for Americans freeing the
common man to enrich his new
found leisure life, as did the
ancient Greeks for the few,
with new growth of the mind
and spirit.
But Congress was told in ef
fect by the witnesses to hurry
and take a sharper look at the
other side of that golden coin,
whose face will increasingly
show new millions of the illiter
ate and unskilled, black and
white, thrown upon the dump
heap of our society unless
