JOHNSON (Continued from Page One) cause our labor force grew more rapidly than in earlier years, at the same time that new technology was raising productivity and changing demand for skills, Johnson saidHe said the labor force expanded by 1.1 million last year and annual increases are expected to be even greater in the future. “As we look ahead, he said, “annual growth in the latter years of the 1960 s is unlikely to step up to over 1.4 million, a third larger than last year and nearly twice the number of additional workers we had to absorb annually in the preceding half decade ... To meet this challenge, he said, “there must ... be an active. manpower .policy—to complement our new national attack on poverty.

American Tourists Robbed Os #500,000

NASSAU, Bahamas (UPI) — Authorities feared today that four hunted bandits managed to flee the Bahamas shortly after they ambushed six American tourists and robbed them at gunpoint of $500,000 in jewels. The entire Bahamas island police force was mobilized in an attempt to track down the masked gunmen who staged the sensational holdup in downtown Nassau early Sunday. Police believed the bandits were Americans. ' The tunmen, wearing hoods, set up the robbery by ramming their stolen car into,a taxi carrying the six Americans from a Nassau casino to a launch back to Paradise Island where they were staying. There were no injuries. Police Commissioner Nigel Morris said the loot included necklaces, a diamond ring and bracelets. He said little money was taken. Morris identified the victims as Mr. and Mrs. Garfield Kass and Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Berger both' of Washington, D.C., and Mr. and,.Mrs. Howard Gould, of Cincinnati, Ohio. The commissioner said Mr. Gould and Mrs. Berger are daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Kass. Kass was involved in real estate until about a year ago when he sold his holdings for a reported $45 million and retired. Gould was identified as an attorney. - The Americans were returning from* the Bahamian Club to . their.. .quarters... aU .Huntington.

the American women cry out, arrived moments after the bandits roared off the wrong way down a one-way street in central Nassau. Detectives were assigned immediately to International Airport and to check ships leaving the island. a * ■ It was not known immediately whether the robbers had time to | reach the aiport before the police watch was set up. There are frequent flights to the United States and a steady flow of boats to the nearby islands. Failure to find the bandits hours after the holdup led to fears they may have succeeded initially in escaping the police dragnet. The stolen care they used was found abandoned later.
