The sad fact is that many of the unem ployed are actually unemployable. They lack the skills which would permit them to take many of the jobs being created in an increasingly com- iiIpy sneiptv. A news release from U.S. Department of Labor begins this way : "Business and industry in the Pacific Northwest are engaged in a race against time in efforts to procure and train the skilled workers needed for this decade. The shortage of skilled labor is becoming more critical daily." e COAL miners are out and West Virginia operated with largely automatic macninery. we pro and Puerto Rican youths in New York can- not find work for they have only their hands, and lack the mechanical and mental skills to handle the jobs available. In every community in the nation there are high school drop outs who, because they lack a hiirh school dmloma and the knowledge and training which goes with it, are not qualified to do much of anything except prowl around and get in trouble. But high school graduates, and even more, college and technical school graduates, can prac tically write their own ticket when it comes to employment. A young man just out of engineer ing school can expect to start with a salary of $5,000 per year or more. THIS gap between the trained and skilled and educated, and those who are unemployable due to lack of skill, is apt to become worse in stead of better, unless some drastic steps are taken steps which Congress seems in no hury to take. The Manpower Development and Training Act thus far has proven to be wholly inade quate to the dimensions of the national prob lem. And because of this the unemployables remain so, and face a dim future of existing on a welfare dole of little use to anyone, least of all themselves, and a asset, to the society and We can foresee a day thousands of human beings will exist, genera tion after generation, on relief. IT IS NOT a pretty picture. Nor is it inevitable. a Riif if wmilrl annoar far more effective measures are taken. These, as a minimum, must include : Greater emphasis on education and train ing retraining where necessary at all age levels. A much stronger and healthier and f aster- growing economy than where 25,000 new jobs must be created each week just to stay even with the growth of the labor supply. A more realistic approach to the idleness which automation will bring, including such measures as a shorter work-week, longer vaca tions, earlier retirements, steps become necessary. THE only way in which such a program can be conducted is through the resources of the federal government. It industry, or the states or local governments, to take on. The problem is national in scope, and can be approached only on a national scale. Too, the federal government is committed to a policy of full employment, and, having assumed this responsibility, must live up to it. But Congress, dawdling along month alter month, feels no sense of urgency. Apparently the great mass of people in the nation, those who have jobs and a higher standard of living than any group in world history, have no sense of urgency either. But the unemployed the unemployable not only have a sense of urgency ; they have a sense of desperation. .

Mark O. Hatfield. Here it is in part: it nas come to tne attention of the undersigned that the fis cal policy of the State of Ore gon under your governorship is inadequate to care lor tne needs of the needy aged! I am enclos ing a $5 money order to start a collection for the State of Oregon. His reply stated, I am return ing the $5 postal money order which you forwarded and would suggest that if you know of needy persons you make such a contribution directly. I receive a veterans pension, W.W. I, and have plugged in my 76th year and am unable to give any financial assistance to anyone. My letter to Governor Hat field stems from more than two years ago when I met an old friend, 84 years of age, and two others up In the Siskiyous. The 84 year old man received $33 Social Security and a small amount from Old Age Assist ance. Last summer while in Oregon I again stopped to say hello. He is now 86 years of age (87 in December) and receives $40 Social Security and $13 O.A.A. Out of this grant some one must furnish free transpor tation to buy his groceries, such as he can buy. He also has to pay for his half of utilities. Our government has sent bil lions of dollars in aid to com munist countries. It would not surprise the un dersigned to see some of the old folks of Oregon crawling around on their hands and knees gath ering acorns due to the miserly amount of financial assistance given to some of the needy aged by hard-hearted legislation of Oregon. .

Peach St. Medford In the Day's News lr FRANK JENKINS In the little village of Gettys burg, a few miles north of the line that divides the state of Pennsylvania from the state of Maryland, an interesting event in tne history of our nation was commemorated last week. The event was the delivery of President Lincoln's Gettysburg acmress on Nov. 19, 1863, and the ceremony on Tuesday ended a three-day centennial observ ance of the ideas and aspira tions expressed by Lincoln In his "f e w appropriate remarks" which he thought "would be nttie noted nor long remem- oered. He was too modest. The less than 300 words which he uttered that day have lived for a cen tury and will continue to live as long as there is a United States of America. T INCOLN'S Gettysburg a " dress has been called the greatest utterance In American history. It is a classic of the English language. It is a classic not merely be cause of what Lincoln said al though what he said was exactly what should have been said at the time when he delivered his address. It is a literary classic because of the simple BEAUTY of its language. It contains only 267 words in ten sentences. But Lincoln chose those 267 words with such care and precision that ever since they have stirred the deepest feelings of our nation. A ND LINCOLN CHOSE THOSE 267 WORDS HIMSELF. He didn't turn the job over to a professional speech writer. He did it all himself. He chose them with particular and laborious care. Weighing each word as he chose it. Testing it. Savoring it. Making sure that it did Its part to carry the message he wanted to be carried to all the people of our land. Nor was he content with the first draft. He made five hand' written copies. He studied them all with me ticulous care, and eventually chose his second draft as com ing nearest to what he wanted to say to tne people of a war- torn nation roughly midway of a great civil war. It has been truly said that there is no excellence without labor. Lincoln labored long and hard on his Gettysburg address. WllE big point is that they l were LINCOLN'S words.

It's time for another visit with Just Plain Jack, the heartwarming story of a young man s constant struggle to pro vide sat' .. .tory housing for his people. Mainly his wife. As we loin Just Plain JacK today, he is curled up with a good book: "An Abstract of Public Opinion Sampling on Selected Key Issues for 1964." The Beautiful Society Girl he married rushes in, all a-bubble. BEAUTIFUL SOCIETY GIRL: Oh, Bunny, I've found the per fect one for you next year! JACK: The wheat deal, Dear, or the test ban? Both look too touchy to me. We need a simple slogan on a hot issue. And the best Pierre's come up with is Cuba: "We've Held Our Own against this Commie Bastion 90 Miles from Our Shores It Hasn't moved an Inch Closer!"

I hope you and the children have a grand time, was LINCOLN'S thinking. He didn't just get up and read something that somebody else had written. He LIVED what he was say ing. What he was saying was i part of himself. OUR public men in these davs, of course, are BUSY MEN. Vast responsibilities rest on their shoulders. But the same was true of Abraham Lincoln. Vast respon sibilities rested on his shoulders. But he found time to write his speeches himself. A WORD in conclusion. Edward Everett, the most famous American orator then living, had spoken for two hours when Lincoln arose to speak. His address has long since been forgotten. But Lincoln's 267 words still live in the minds and the hearts of all Americans, E Moving openly in Somalia, the Russians closed a deal to help equip a Somalian army of 20,000 which, according to West em experts, is far larger than the country needs and which, it is feared, is Intended for use against Somalia's neighbors, either Ethiopia or Kenya.

MIRROR IMAGE He is a short, chunky, near bald man, with a shrewd eye, an aggressive jaw, and a ready joke for nearly all occasions. His beliefs are firm and ex plicit, in every realm, from the economic to the psychological to the esthetic. He is a man who knows his own mind, and expresses himself freely and pungently. In economics, he believes that the economic factor is the most important in human life. Ideals and spiritual qualities are all very well in their place, but it is money that makes the mare go. What most deeply influence men's decisions are their eco nomic needs and drives, i In psychology, he is suspi cious and disdainful of any Freudian Interpretations. Psy choanalysis should be banned, he believes, because 11 holds that unconscious psychic fac tors determine our conduct and he will have no truck with such mystical interpretations of life. In esthetics, he is against all "modern" manifestations. He despises abstract art as a corrupt, degenerate and infan tile activity; he will have noth ing to do with music that is not traditional and familiarly melodic. In literature, he pre fers facts to fancy; he wants a "message" to be got across, in plain, everyday language. Indeed, "practical" is the keyword of his nature. He will use ideology when it suits his purposes, but what he wants to tee is a huge industrial machinery operating at top productive power, a high stan dard of living, and an admin istration that is cool and effi cient, with emphasis on tech nical and scientific develop ments. He is ardently nationalistic, although he may pay lip-service to such concepts as "humanity" and "brotherhood." He wants his nation to be first in every- tning, irom missiles to mara thons; and his entire foreign policy is based on national self- interest. What is good for his country, he firmly believes, is good for the world. He is, in short, a completely modern man: pragmatic, mate rialistic, bourgeois in his atti tudes toward Uie arts, uneasy in the presence of psychological subtleties, utterly convinced that with the right political party in the saddle and the economy booming, most of the people's problems would be solved. What he mast dislikes are in tellectuals, fanatics, artists who will not sensibly serve the needs of the community in clear and simple terms, people who will not work hard at their jobs, beatniks of all sorts, religious cranks, promiscuous and im moral citizens, and those who flirt with alien creeds. His name: Nikita Khrushchev. Do you recognize him in yourself? may be had from the fact that in the Sinai clash with Israel, the Israelis captured more than 300 Soviet -built T-34 tanks, about 600 guns and about 4,000 Soviet-made jeeps or tanks. Moscow also has delivered to the U.A.R. submarines, destroy ers and torpedo boats. But despite this outlay, local Egyptian Communists continue to rest in Egyptian jails. in macK Africa. Uunea bought some 8,000 rifles and some armored vehicles from the Soviet Union and then pro ceeded to kick out the Soviet ambassador. Iraq also so far has been a costly . Soviet mistake. The country has modern T-54 Rus sian tanks, Mig-21 jet fighters and boviet transports. Yet Iraq oil continues to flow to the West, Kuwait is still "unliber ated" and the most use the weapons have has been against the Kurds who receive at least the tacit support of the Soviet Union. Afghanistan obtained both THE TWO EUROPES--III I talked about Eastern Eu rope in the two preceding arti cles. My main point was that the change of generations coin cides with the realization that thermonuclear war has to be and probably will be avoided and that this is weakening the discipline which binds Eastern Europe together under the au thority of the Soviet Union. In the West I visited Rome, Paris and London omitting Bonn, where it seemed to me too early to get any clear view of what is to come after Ade nauer. There is no doubt, I soon real ized, that in Western Europe today President De Gaulle is the pivotal figure. The initia tive is in his hands. There is little reason to think that the initiative will pass to London or to Bonn. This is not because General De Gaulle is universally loved, or even admired. It is, so I venture to think, because he has seen more of the future than most of his contemporaries, and so much that .happens seems to bear him out. . T ET us begin with domestic J politics in the western con tinent. Nobody whom I saw in Paris pretended to believe that General De Gaulle has set up a government which could be made to work without General De Gaulle. France today is a free coun try in which representative dem ocratic government has in fact been suspended. Yet no one who has visited Eastern Europe would think of France as a totalitarian dictatorship. It is rather an enlightened mon archy, and there is in France little of the fear which would make the general's opponents, of whom there are plenty, drop their voices and talk in a kind of code language for fear of being overheard. So far as I could make out, the general's chief instrument to retain his' power apart from his enormous personal prestige, is that he has seized for him self a monopoly of radio and television. His opponents, in cluding the Communist Party, are free to print and to talk. But they are cut off from a mass audience by the govern ment's monopoly of broadcast ing. The Gaullist view is, I think, that representative government with its parties and its factions is no longer workable. In the modern age it is unable to pro vide good government with suf ficient authority and independ ence. Representative govern ment with its parties did not work in postwar France. It has not worked in postwar Italy. Probably it will not . work in "I'm going straight.

Yet Cuba is re ported shopping around in West ern Euroope in an attempt to reduce its dependence upon Russia and Castro has sided with Red China in refusing to sign the partial nuclear test ban.

Today and Tomorrow By Walter Lippmann , fCl 143 The Washinelon Pest post-Adenauer Germany. What will come next the Gaullists ds not profess to know. But they insist that it must be something which overrides parties and factions and establishes a con tinuous national authority. ' HPHE central political tendency in Italy constitutes a tacit acceptance of the Gaullist find ing. The parliamentary system with two-party government, as it comes down to us from the 19th century is, say the Gaul lists, now unworkable. It led to Mussolini and to Hitler and might then have led to Stalin. The Italians are trying to work out what is In reality a suspension of the two-party sys tem. They are trying to form a coalition of all the parties and factions which believe in democracy, or more accurately in personal freedom. This in the inwardness of the so-called "opening to the left.'' The Italian center-left coali tion is intended to comprise the Catholic Party insofar as it is progressive and liberal and the Socialists insofar as they are not Communists and totalitari an. I do not know whether such an Italian coalition can be form ed successfully. But I have yet to talk to an Italian who had any plausible idea of an ac ceptable and workable alterna tive. A POPULAR front govern " ment would be unaccept able, and a center-right gov ernment would be unworkable. If what is wanted is a strong government which is also demo cratic, then there can be no popular front with the Commu nists. Nor can there be a front with the rightists, who include what is left of fascism. In the field of theory and doc trine, moreover, the Italian at tempt anticipates, correctly, I venture to think, the main tend ency among the masses of the people on the Western European continent. The Democratic So cialists are abandoning their Marxist ideology, particularly of the class struggle, and the Christian Democrats are mov ing away from their former close collaboration with the feudal remnants and the pluto cratic lobbies. As the Socialist parties in Western Europe are ceasing to be Marxist and as the religious parties are becoming more Christian, there is a prospect that such a coalition in Italy, and after the 1965 elections per haps in Germany, will provide an alternative to the kind of personal rule practiced by Gen eral De Gaulle. But it will not be a revival of representative democracy as it comes down from the 19th century. S .1 I A. stick-up now-a-dayi and all ya and oar parents let ns down!" B
