CONGRESS ASKED TO HELP JOBLESS YOUNG PEOPLE By U.S. Sen. Clair Engle (D-Calif.)

i President Kennedy is asking the Congress to make a direct ' assault on the ills of those American youths who are not only 1 out of school and out of work but down on health and down on luck. Unemployment among the nation's ' youth is more than double that of adult unem- r , • ployment. The nation’s youth constitutes onesixth of all the unemployed although they rep- r w| i resent only one-fourteenth of the total labor } force. 'W ® I At present rates during the 1960’5, seven and one-half million students will drop out of school without a high school education, thereby entering the labor market unprepared for any- iga thing except the diminishing number of un- BV skilled labor openings. a*" ln ’ to

In recent years our concern has been focused on the school dropout as the chief victim of unemployment. We have also become increasingly aware that many high school graduates without a specific job skill are not much better off than the dropout. The bleak fact is that there just are not now enough jobs—nor will there be- in the immediate future —for all who are able and willing to work. Unemployment at any age for any person is demoralizing, frightening and embittering. For the young person who experiences prolonged joblessness or a series of dead-end jobs broken by lengthy periods of being without work, it creates attitudes, work habits and loss of motivation and ambition that can deeply affect him throughout his entire adult life. The effects of unemployment are nowhere more depressing and disheartening than among the young. "Idle youth on our city streets,” said the President, "create a host of problems.” It is not alone that they are adrift and unable to find their way. The nation as a whole sutfe’-s because the economy is deprived of their great potential. The seriousness of the problem requires and justifies some kind of action bv the Federal government as an emergence measure for the present -.'nd. continuing untiL future needs| »••• AUvVilv - <n»»n

New School Seeks To Interpret Life

By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International For half a century, Freudian psychiatry has tried to interpret human life in terms of the instinctive drives which man shares with the beasts. Now a new school of psychiatry has arisen in Vienna. In a strange echo of words that Jesus spoke 2,000 years ago, it is saying that man does not live by bread alone .. .that his deepest need is not to achieve sexual fulfillment but to find an authentic meaning for his existence. ' This new school of psychiatry, which takes man’s spiritual nature seriously, is known as “logotheraphy.” Its founder and chief apostle is Dr. Viktor E. Frankl, professor of psychiatry at the University of Vienna, and president of the Austrian Medical Society for Psychotherapy. A layman’s introduction to Dr. Frankl’s thinking is now available in the form of a paperback book entitled "Man’s Search For Meaning.” It begins with a vivid autobiographical account of Dr. Frankl’s experiences as prisoner No. 119,104 in the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz, It was there, in the shadow of the gas ovens that his wife, father, mother and brother died, that the Viennese psychiatrist came to appreciate the philosopher Nietzsche’s words: “He who has a WHY to live for can bear with almost any how” Dr. Frankl survived Auschwitz because he discovered that life always has meaning, even when it seems to be bounded on all sides by suffering. Nor is this meaning something which man invents to kid himself along, a sort of sel-constructed carrot on the stick ..of existence. “If .the meaning that is waiting to be fulfilled by man were really nothing more than a projection of his wishful thinking,” says Dr. Frankl, “it would immediately lose its demanding and challenging character. It could not longer call man forth or summon man. "The meaning of our existence is not invented by ourselves, but rather detected.” Since Dr. Frankl is writing a book of psychiatry rather than religion, he does not argue about what name should be applied to the Ultimate Source of the meaning which man "detects” in his existence. But his own name for it is God, a word which he uses often unashamedly in his psychiatric texts. He avoids any attempt to ex-

' The 88th Congress is acutely : conscious of this and it has ( given first priority to the Youth . Employment Bill, which con- ' tains the President’s program. ' The House and Senate Labor Committees have already completed hearings on the legislation—and we have some hope of seeing it passed this spring. I particularly favor Title II of the Youth Employment Bill —which sets up a Local Area Youth Employment Program, the so-called Home Town Youth Corps. Under this title, youth employment projects would be developed on, a local level to provide jobs for unemployed boys and girls. Under this program, young and eager ‘ hands and minds would be put to work in public libraries, at hospitah. at settlement houses and other voluntary agencies, at municipal recreation and park centers, etc. Title II this year contains an improvement in one important respect over its predecessors—it emphasizes part-time employment to permit the inclusion of work-study or school-work programs. The Youth Employment Program will give manv thousands of currently unemployed voung persons a chance to find employment, to be paid for their services, and to acquire ski'ls and I work experience that will give j them a solid start in thy.r worL

press the meaning of life in general or abstract terms. “The meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour,” he says. “What matters is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person’s life at a given moment .. .Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to the very real and concrete problems which are constantly being set before us as individuals.” Dr. Frankl flatly repudiates the basic Freudian doctrine that man’s main concern is to “gain pleasure and avoid pain.” He contends that the real primary urge is the “will to meaning” and that it is so powerful that “man is even ready to suffer on the condition that his suffering has a meaning.” He tells of an elderly patient who was overcome with severe depression because of the death of his wife. Dr Frankl asked him what would have happened to the wife if her husband had died first The patient replied that it would have been “terrible” for her. “You see,” Dr. Frankl replied, “such a suffering has been spared her and it is you who have spared her this suffering, but now you have to pay for it by surviving and mourning her.” “He said no word,” Dr. Frankl recalls, “but shook my hand and calmly left my office. Suffering ceases to be suffering in some way at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.” Rejects Freudian Notion Dr. Frankl also rejects vigorously the Freudian notion that human love is "a mere side effect, or sublimation, of sex.” “Love is as primary a phenomenon as sex,” he declares. “No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By the spiritual act of love he is enabled to see the essential traits and feature in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him.. .By his love, the loving person enables toe beloved person to make these potentialities come true.” FreucJ's warnings against “inhibitions” and “repression" have been cited by’many for years as an alibi for free indulgence of sexual appetites. But the man who now ranks as Europe’s leading psychiatrist IS no friend of libertines. “Sex,” says Viktor Frankl, “is sanctified a soon as — but only as long as — it is a vehicle of love.”
