Unionist Hits Automation PORTLAND (AP) - There could be riot and revolution if automation produces nothing more than increased unemploy ment in the face of a growing work force, Al Hartung, president of the International Woodworkers of America, said here Tuesday. The number of jobless in the United States now exceeds the to tal work force of Canada, Har tung said, and he asked delegates to an 1WA Western Regional Council meeting to imagine an en tire nation being out of work. Automation is a No. 1 problem that is not being given considera tion, Hartung said in calling upon President Kennedy to create at once a commission to study the impact of automation upon the economy and the work force. "If the benefits of automation result in nothing more than grow ing unemployment in the face of an ever growing work force, the end result could be riot and revo lution," Hartung said. the Nile, the Congo.

We traded him (I mean her) in on an other bird which was guaranteed to be a male. Well, a male Is! supposed to have blue color- v ' big just above 2Si the beak and around the nostrils and the fe males are tan in that area. The bird that laid the egg had the blue coloring but we didn't know it meant anything. This morning I noticed the new bird's nosepiece. It was definite ly blue when we bought him but1 now it is turning tan. Can it be that we've been getting birds that change their sex or do some male birds lay eggs? What shall we do about this new bird? We've already named him Bud. Thanks for your help. JINXED Dear Jinxcd: Change the name to Rosebud and forget it. By the time a parakeet Is one month old you should be able to tell definitely whether It's a boy or a girl. If there is any white around the nostrils you have a lady bird. Parakeets don't change srx and boy birds don't lay eggs- You're welcome. Dear Ann Landers: I am des perate and I don't sec how any one can help me but I'll give It a try.

I have a mes sage for him: ' Your wife needs one night' out a week and some part-time help during the day. And you need some help in the restaurant so you can spend a few evenings at home. Don't say you can't afford to do It. You can't afford NOT to.' If you refuse your wife will land in a sanitarium and you'll have to hire a housekeeper and pay doctor bills. Your wife must have some relief and your chil dren need your love, affection and some guidance. Now get going.
