Harader, Treasurer Walter J. Storey. Assistant Editor TUESDAY 1 JURCIt 14, 1961 Job Retraining Surveys on the unemployment problem generally bring out one recommendation which leaves out in the is job retraining.

U. S. Sen. Joseph S. Clark and Secretary of Labor Arthur Goldberg both mentioned retraining "of the jobless is important.

The idea is that workers displaced by automation and technological change be retrained to do other types of work, We have hundreds of coal miners in the district who have lost their jobs because of automation. Probably there are many railroaders, construction workers and our share of steehvorkers who have been laid off because machines produce what they once did. What should these idle men he trained to do? There are few available jobs not only in the Fayette County erea but in the Greater Pittsburgh district. An unemployed man may have many skills but there are not many' jobs open. The few jobs that are open are for professional men--engineers and physicists.

Jn our surge to find industry for our land above ground, we might be missing a good bet not seeking some firms that arc interested in acreage below the surface of the earth. There's no question that we have plenty of spare. New plants that move into the area want a hard core of trained men and use this cadre to train the newcomers. If a man has a basic skill, using his hands to work, he can tie trained in almost any field. No one yet, from the state or national level, has told us in what fields the unemployed should be trained.

If we are told what long-range training programs will be needed, what types of jobs will be open in the next few years, then a program should be established to train our manpower. not take (he cart before the horse. Put It Underground Abandoned mines finally are being put to use, industrially. A West Virginia firm has taken over a couple of deep bituminous mines and raises chickens for sale as broilers. The constant temperature of about )0 degrees is beneficial to the growth of the birds.

In the Pottsville area of anthracite coal there is a drive to have government funds made available In drain, clean out and concrete the underground pits. The plan would give some temporary employment to many miners and also Ihe mines would lie a shelter in case of an emergency. Such a plan could be used in the bituminous fields of Western Pennsylvania. U'e have many, many mines that have been closed because the coal has been depleted: Properly drainer! and cleaned these pits could be converted into underground shelters. Or maybe there are corporations which are seeking underground areas in which to store their records far down where they will he safe.

Castro's Move Cuba's Fidel Castro has not overlooked Puerto Rico in his effort to export to other Utin lands the only i he knows well--revolution. To this end, he is deliberately seeking to confuse the world as to the true status and sentiment of the Puerto Rican people. He tries to suggest they are held in colonial bondage by the United States. As if to emphasize his sympathy for their alleged aspirations to independence, he actually has named two former Puerto Ricans to the Cuban U. N.

delegation. Responsible Puerto Rican officials in San Juan and in this country are alarmed and pained at this situation, and anxious that people both in the United States and abroad should understand the real circumstances. To begin with, Puerto Rico todny is a commonwealth, a self-governing state whose people chose freely a decade ago fo remain in association with America. In last November's election, nearly 60 per cent supported the party which stands for commonwealth status. About 32 per cent wanted the even closer ties of statehood.

Only 3.6 per cent, some 24,000 of the 788,000 votes recorded, favored the so-called Independence party. It is now legally dead as a party until it can muster 10 per cent of the registered voters on new petitions. Thus beaten, the pro-independence advocates have nothing left but to demonstrate. What Puerto Rican leaders fear is that demonstrations helped along by Castro's agitators and coupled with Cuban antics in the U.N. may give outsiders a distorted picture.

Some U. S. newspapers evidently unwittingly played the agitator' game last December by reporting their phony complaints as if they wrre broadly representative of Pnerlo Rican sentiment. The is a the Independence group is today a frustrated fringe movement. Moreover, the earlier Nationalist party, now extinct and down to less than 300 sympathizers, is reduced In efforts at subversive violence.

It was this group a once tried to kill former President Truman, and shot up Congress-. The really impressive fact which all the world should be told again and again, is that--excepting election years--the Puerto Ricans can have a new vote on their status, including independence, any time 10 per cent of the voters petition for it.

Stung somewhat by publication in this space of the cute remarks attributed to John F. Kennedy during the last campaign, Nixon support a insisted that he got off a lot of good cracks, too. So, to give the GOP equal time and space, a search lias heen made for the best sam- PETER EDSON pies of Nixon wit and humor.

The staff of Texas Sen. Ralph Yarborough's sub-committee on freedom of information has provided basic raw material on this, in Volume II of its monumental report on 1060 presidential campaign documents. Volume I contained all of Kennedy's campaign speeches. The full title of Volume if is 'The Speeches. Remarks.

Press Conferences and Study Papers of Vice President Richard M. Nixon, Aug. 17 Through Nov. 7, 1060." It is 1,118 pages of printed text, roughly 1.270.000 words lhat he spoke in 118 days. This doesn't include the great debate or special television and radio appearances, which will be Volume III.

When nil this material is out and indexed, it will be the greatest compilation on campaign oratory and two presidential candidates' minds ever assembled. NIXON'S I1U.MOU IS QUITE DIFFERENT from Kennedy's, so don't kick for the same approach. Here are some of the choicer Nixon passages that drew laughter and applause from his audiences: "Now. you often hear how different the people from the states are, and they are kind of different For example, in North Carolina where I went to school. I had to learn to like Ihings like turnip greens and black-eyed peas and hominy grits, and 1 know, too, that as far as our accents are concerned.

Ihey differ a little. -Mine is Midwestern and others may have more of the New England type. I'm not thinking of anyone in particular at the States Picnic, Long Bench, Oct. 12K This is the V.P. at a luncheon meeting in New York.

Oct. 5: "Well, this has been a very interesting day in many respects It's the first time I've ever been introduced twice (by Governor Rockefeller and the head of the New York Columbian League) bu! it couldn't have been done by two nicer fellows." (Laughter and appiauce). Continuing: "There's only one trouble with the Kalian-Americans. "They've made great conlribu- lions. I realize; in music and the like, they've made great contributions in politics, but there ought to be more (of them) in the Republican parly--that's the only- trouble." (Applause).

SOME OF NIXON'S HUMOR was unconscious, perhaps, in slips of the tongue like this one at Portland, Sepl. 13: "I say the President was right in what he did. (Answering Khrushchev on the U-2 incident). When you are confident of your strength, when you knw you are right, you maintain your dignity, you do not answer insuU with insult, as President Eisenhower did." THIS ONE, ALSO, IS PRETTY SUBTLE.

Many and pitiable were the moans of dismay at the snow and ice accompanying last week's playoff game for the Uniontotvn basketeers.
