Importing Mexican Laborers How do people in Adams county feel about continuing the bracero program, of importing Mexican laborers to work on farms, —for a maximum of six months, without their wives or children, and only if American labor is “not available.” ? Each year about 700 migrant workers — either native Americans of varied backgrounds, or Jamaicans, or Mexican, are imported into Adams county. Usually these workers have been native Americans, for the most part, because migrant labor was available in this area. Occasionally, other groups have been brought in, but generally, other areas of the country have “benefitted” more from the bracero program than this area. The average migrant worker, an American citizen, works less than 130 days, with a yearly income of less than SI,OOO. Our migrant workers include families with a long background in migrant working, as well as farm laborers who used to work in specific loctions, such as cotton areas, but who have been replaced by machinery, and have “gone migrant.” These native Americans, white, colored, or Spanish-speaking — with their families, find tough competition from Mexican men, imported without their families, for harvesting. The families of these men might act as a “social brake” if they accompanied them. They are housed in dormitory housing, of very low standards, for the most part — housing that native American families could not use. The bracero law, to import the Mexican migrant workers called braceros, was originally a war measure, passed at the height of World War II to provide labor when we had none available. It has been extended five times, mostly to the benefit of farmers in the states which border Mexico. Bracero labor is not fair to the braceros themselves. Just saying this does not solve their problem, though — the problem of Mexican farm laborers should be realistically attacked through the Alliance for progress program, and attacked on a mass scale by both Mexican and American know-how. ° Second, the bracero program of importing these laborers should be terminated as long as the United States has a surplus of migrant workers of its own citizenship. A careful investigation shows that such termination will not be harmful to agriculture. The California legislator, Burt Talcott, who favors extending the program, admits that many California crops must be harvested within a 2 or 3-day period or be lost. But then he turns, and uses this short employment period as “proof” that American farm laborers won*t do the work, because 25% worked ‘less than three days on a job! He also points out that California is the leading tomato-producing state, having passed Indiana several years ago. He wants bracero laborers, brought in at the expense of leaving countless American migrants unemployed, to harvest their tomatoes more cheaply, so they can undercut Indiana tomato prices! We need more farm employment for our migrant workers, more education, so that they can move into other fields; better health standards, so they are able to work; better social standards, so they become better citizens. •That is why every major religious group opposed extension of the bracero law, P. L. 78; its why the National Catholic Rural Life Conference, session of which was held in Fort Wayne a few years back, emphatically urges Congress to reject efforts to rive P. L. 78; and Protestant and Jewish groups are joined in the same fight.

pointment of the commission Monday as part of his message to Congress asking that the Interstate Commerce Commission step into a prime example of the impact automation can have — the railroad work rules dispute. He said the commission would outline the effects automation is likely to have during the next 10 years and recommend governmental action. The commission “should undertake the most comprehensive review of this complex and many-sided subject ever ventured,” Kennedy said. He gave the commission until the end of next year to complete its study; Act Is “Too Limited” Kennedy said that last year’s Manpower Development and Training Act is “too limited” in scope to “provide the full answer” to a problem of the magnitude of that posed by unemployment in an age of rapidly advancing technology. A Labor Department report this month blamed automation as the chief cause of wiping out 775,000 production jobs since 1957. Here are some of the problems of automation age unemployment that the presidential commission must face: — The Labor Department’s manpower report which Kennedy submitted to Congress in March said that U.S. manufacturers had an output in 1962 that was 20 per cent above that of a half-dozen years earlier but employed 1 million less production workers, about 7.5 per cent of their work force. —Railroad unions say that 670,000—railroad workers have lost jobs since 1947. The disputed new work rules would eventually cost about 55,000 more jobs. Many Lose Jobs —Labor Department statistics show that as many as 35,000 jobs a week are lost to machines. Some of these persons get new jobs created by machines but by no means all of them do. ---The United Auto Workers Union has lost 168,000 members although more people are buying more cars. , —The steelworkers union ha s lost 200,000 members since 1956. —The mine workers union partly blames machines for the loss of 500,000 mine jobs. The Labor Department says mining employment has dropped by a fifth just since 1957. One of the problems of automa-tion-caused unemployment is that the workers replaced by machines usually are unskilled or only semi-skilled. Jobs they can fill with no further training are scarce so a retraining program is a vital necessity. The Labor Department has reported that in 1956, for the first time in labor history, white collar workers outnumbered blue collar workers.

0 o 20 Years Ago Today 0— 0 July 23, 1943 — The board of public works and safety has ordered strict enforcement of the onehour parking limit ordinance on Second street, from Jefferson to Jackson, and on Monroe street, from First to Third, J. R. Manning, 48, of near Bryant, escaped injury and possible death when he leaped from his stalled auto shortly before it was struck by a Pennsylvania freight train at the Adams-Jay county line road crossing south of Geneva. Funeral services will be held here tomorrow for Mrs. Clara Fuhrman-Hendricks, a native of Adams county, who died several days ago at her home in St Petersburg, Fla. Union township will consolidate its three school bus routes into two due to a shortage of bus drivers and gasoline rationing. Palermo, capital of Sicily, has been captured by Americans as four-fifths of the island is now occupied by Allied forces. Egypt Completes First Submarine CAIRO (UPI) - Egypt, displaying its military might on the 11th anniversary of the coup that put President Gamal Abdel Nasser in power, today announced it has built its first submarine and will test it within 15 days. But Nasser’s plans for extending the United Arab Republic appeared to be all but finished for the present. He charged in a speech Monday night that Syria, which was to have joined Egypt and Iraq in the new U.A.R. by September, “has been converted into a vast concentration camp.” He said he would never federate with Syria as long as its Baathist party rulers remain in power. He did not mention* Iraq, also ruled by the Baathists. Chief of Staff Gen. Ali Amer, reviewing today’s parade of So-viet-equipped troops, declared that the armed forces were getting “up to date heavy equipment and guided missiles.” He did not say how the submarine was developed but German scientists have aided in the construction of missiles here. (In Munich, Germany, the designer of the famous World War II fighter planes, Willy Messerschmitt, confirmed Monday that he is helping Egypt build a supersonic fighter.) A two-stage rocket and possibly a space satellite were among the other achievements expected to be displayed today. x But die future of the enlarged U.A.R. did not look good. Nasser told a crowd of 100,000 jammed into Cairo’s Al-Ghuma-rhia Square that “Arab liberty, freedom, and dignity are suffering a crisis” in Syria, where Baathist President Louai Attassi and Premier Salah Bitar crushed a revolt last week and obliquely accused Nasser’s propaganda organs of fomenting it. (Reports from Syria today said Bitar and Attassi may have to step down because more militant Baathists oppose the attempts they have made to federate with Egypt, even though they posed conditions Nasser apparently found unacceptable and fought Nasserites within Syria.) Mets Seek Waivers On Jimmy Piersail NEW YORK (UPI) — Jimmy Piersall, ’ one of the major league's biggest drawing cards because of his colorful and zany antics, may have clowned himself out of baseball. The New York Mets announced Monday that they have asked waivers on the 33-year-old outfielder for the purpose of giving him his unconditional release. If Piersall isn’t claimed within 72 hours, he is free to make a deal for himself as a 12-year major league veteran. In addition to his clowning, which didn’t go over too good with the Mets management, Piersall batted only .193, with 10 runs batted in for the last-place Mets sinee arriving May 23. Piersall came to the Mets from Washington in the deal which permitted Gil Hodges to take over as Senators’ manager. He is believed to have cut short his Met career during a clowning episode before the game wjth the San Francisco Giants last Wednesday at the Polo Grounds. He apparently injured himself while running the bases during the Giants’ infield drill, sliding into the bases to the pleasure of the crowd. Also, he called a bunch of youngsters onto the field during pre-game workouts to give autographs.* Piersall came up with a leg injury and has not played since. Asked if he was counting on Piersall for some help the rest of the season, manager Casey Stengel recently said: “Well, how can I? He didn’t show us anything, before he got hurt.” Piersall’s estimated $37,500 salary and the fine showing of outfielders Joe Hicks and Joe Christopher, both recently recalled from Buffalo, also made Piersall expendable.

Population Os 331 Million Predicted BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UPI) — Two business experts said today by the year 2000 the United States could be faced with a population of 331 million, a labor force of 142 million, a gross national product of $2 trillion and a scarcity of basic agricultural crops. Joseph L. Fisher, president of Resources for the Future, Inc., and Hans H. Landsberg, director of its resource appraisal program, made the forecast in Indiana University’s summer Business Horizons quarterly. Both men said the forecast were not iron-clad but merely a

systematic projection of present .trends and possibilities developed so particular industries 3 maj l plan their own course of development. <5 The “look” at the, future included the possibility of a “moderate scarcity” by the end of the century in farm products, although surpluses will remain the rule for some years. They based their prediction on higher demand for certain crops, due to increased population and proportionately lower increases in yields as more land is converted to timber use, highway construction, outdoor recreation and urban and surburban development. Other “clues’ found in the researchers’ study indicate an increasing scarcity of fresh water in the west, and more dependence on imported metals such as iron, copper, lead and zinc.
