done a great deal of counseling'
with teenage boys. Few column
ists would have had the courage
to take the unpopular position and
applaud the parents. I have
worked with delinquent boys for

raised in a home where he had
to go to school, hold down a job

New Jobs For Millions
Must Be Found In US
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP)-IMeany, AFL-CIO presidenl, that
President Kennedy's top labor ad- finding jobs for tlie rapidly in
viser says finding jobs for 26. creasing work force and for work-
million entrants in the work force
during the next decade is the
nation's No. 1 domestic problem
Arthur J. Goldberg, secretary
of labor, gave that figure in ad
dressing a banquet given in his
honor Sunday night by AFL-CIO
union officials whom he formerly
served as chief counsel.
Aides of Goldberg explained
that while jobs must be found for
26 million workers in the next 10
years, vacancies for about half
that number will open up due to
death and retirement among pre
sent workers. Thus, they said, an
estimated 13 million additional
jobs a.e needed.
Goldberg said that widespread
unemployment and dwindling job
opportunities are high on the list
of "unfinished business inherited
by the present administration."
Ail the. things that have been
swept under the rug during the
past eight years are rapidly
coming to light, he said
Goldberg agreed with George

Progress Big
School Need
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) The
people who run the nation's
schools were told today they still
have much to learn about tho
products they are dealing with
children, education, and the proc
oss of learning.
Dr. L, D. Haskew, vjee chan
cellor of the Univorsity of Texas,
said tlie schools must search for
new ways to foster and encourage
variation.
The process involved in learn
ing to read English by a 6-year-
old from a Spanish-speaking
home, he said, "is sharply dif
ferent from that involved when
the learner is the son of a college
professor of American literature."
Haskew told tlie American As
sociation of School Administra
tors that "the pressures toward
uniformity are great. But uni
formity Is an unfriendly host to
the process of learning."
All loo ollen, he said, "we
administrators sacrifice real ef
ficiency in the learning process
to pacify fellow-Rotariens who
hear that we are not teaching tlie
alphabet any more, or that we let
pupils get all the way through
first grade without reading classic
fairy talcs too grisly for even
television to use."
Haskew said the schools should
use every available facility, hu
man and electronic, to improve
education.

Old Volunteer
Passes Away
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP)-James
Leonard Hanborry's distaste for
liquor led him to volunteer fur
Dr. Walter Reed's Cuban experi
ments in 1901 which led to dis
covery that yellow fever was
transmitted by mosquitoes.
Hanberry, last survivor of the
29 soldiers who volunteered and
helped wipe out yellow fever epi
demics, died in the Veterans Hus
pital here Sunday at the age
ot 80.
The Spanish-American War vet.
eran said in an interview two
years ago that he didn't drink
and "MaJ. Reed (Walter Reed,
the famous Army doctor) told us
that booze and yellow fever don't
mix. Many of the other fellows!
indulged now and then, so I fig
ured I'd be better off than they
would."
Hanberry and the others sub
mitted to bites from mosquitoes
that had bitten yellow fever pa
tients. They contracted the dis
ease but survived.
In 1929, Congress awarded a
special medal to Hanberry and
tne otner volunteers.
Hanberry was a native of Den

lice officer after the wiir,

ers displaced by new production
techniques is a problem of major
proportions
Mcany, noting that the work
force climbed by an average
(20,000 annually in the past five
years, wondered how. if job:
couldn't be found for all of them,
could the much greater influx of
new workers be put to woiX;
during the coming decade.
"Maybe the answer is the short
er work week. I don't know,'
Mcany commented. "All I know
is that we have a new adminis
tration in Washington with fresh
ideas and I hope it can solve this
situation
Mcany went on to say that there
is something "basically wrong
when great American industries
can work at less than half their
capacity and still earn a hand
some profit.
Goldberg was due to confer to
day at a closed session of the
AFL-CIO Executive Council.
Tho labor secretary told news
men on his arrival here that Con
gress is speeding up its procedure
to push Kennedy's proposals
ahead. He said he hoped Kenne
dy s first major goal will pass
the House this week a proposal
for $1 billion extra unemployment
compensation aid.
Goldberg said he was very en
couraged with the way Congress
us handling Kennedy s proposals
and felt that legislators of both
political parties shore "a sense of
urgency" in spurring economic
recovery.

Spending By Government
Shows Tremendous Gain
NEW YORK (UPI) - The cost
of governing is rising even faster
than the cost of living.
Tax Foundation, Inc., a private
tax study group, reported Sun
day that federal, state and local
government spending more than
doubled between 1950 and 1960.
Ten years ago, governmental
pending totaled $70,334 billion.
Last year, the figure was $153
billion. And in fiscal 1961, it will
be almost $161 billion, the found
ation said in its 11th biennial pub
lication, "Facts and Figures on
Government Finance, 1960-61."
The federal government laid out
63 per cent of the total, Tax
Foundation said.
If legislators give in to cur
rent pressures for huge spending
increases at all levels of govern
ment, the resulting tax and ex-!
penditure totals will dwarf even
the startling figures in this book,"
