Job IPm PhWs Finding cent. "That's a 50 per-cent lag," said Mrs. Elizabeth S. Fisher, executive director of the Registry. "It's scary when you think of all the good people who will have trouble getting jobs." As of the first week in January, the Registry had 3,742 Ph.D registrants for 399 vacancies.

These figures include people who have jobs and are looking for better ones, as well as those who are entering the job market for the first time. Educators report it is most difficult to get jobs in English, history, philosophy, political and religious studies. "The fields easiest to fill are in math, sociology, anthropology and psychology," said Mrs. Ruth A. Armstrong, head of the office of teacher placement at Yale Graduate School.

than we ever did from Ph.D's looking for jobs in community colleges," said William A. Harper, director of public relations for the American Association of Junior Colleges. Dr. Alfred Livingston, executive vice-president of Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland agreed. "In the past six months, we've had a definite increase in the number of applicants with earned doctorates, persons who are probably preparing for university positions," he said.

The profusion of Ph.D's was forecast almost six years ago by Dr. Allan M. Cartter, chancellor of New York University, in an article written for the American Statistical Association. "No one believed it Cartter said. "1 wish they had listened.

Demand for Ph.D's also ex-eeds the supply in astronomy, earth sciences, some areas of biology and some medical scienes, but these are relatively small fields. Mrs. Armstrong said Yale had dropped geographic preferences from its registration cards for job applicants, "one interesting consequence of all she said, "is that people who have wanted to stay on the east or west coasts will find they have to go to the midwest to find work. This is good in a sociological way. It's spreading the talent, attitudes and customs across the country." Another effect is that many Ph.D's will take jobs at junior and community colleges instead of the more prestigeous four-year institutions.

"We are getting more letters ting the curricula. "There's a freeze in filling new positions," said Dr. Ralph Keller, director of the placement service at Stanford University. "At the freshman and sophomore level, we've dropped some required courses like Western Civilization and English," courses that had provided jobs for large numbers of new Ph.D's. "The supply of Ph.D's has caught up with the demand," Keller said.

"Colleges are no longer hiring as many professors as they once did." Nancy Clancy, who has charge of the American Historical Association's professional register, said she has 245 jobs listed by 175 schools, compared to last year's 403 jobs by J97 schools, a number then considered low. However, not all areas of history feel the pinch. While there are too many historian specializing in Modern Europe and the United States, said Mrs. Clancy, there are jobs available in African and Asian hislory. She also pointed out 880 doctorates in history were awarded last year, despite an association study that snowed only about 500 jobs would be available.

According to U.S. Office of Education statistics, the number of Ph.D's awarded annually has tripled in the last 10 years from 9829 during the 1959-60 school year to 29,300 in 1969-70. The Cooperative College Registry in Washington, a placement service for college teachers, reports the number of Ph.D candidates is up 25 per-cent over last year and the number of job vacancies is down 25 per "Now I'm worried about their personal discouragement. When most of them started working for their degrees six and seven years ago, the job market was much different. Now a much larger proportion of them will be taking jobs as a stop-gap, hoping something better will come alongVery frequently, it doesn't." In a recent paper on scientific trends for 1970-85, Dr.

Cartter said, "We have created a graduate education and research establishment in American universities that is about 30 to 50 per cent larger than we shall effectively use in the 1970's and early 1980's, and the growth process continues in many sectors. The readjustment to the real demands of the next IS years is bound to be painful." WASHINGTON (AP) The uncertainty of the job market has a new meaning for Ph.D's these days: Prospects Highly Depressing. In almost every field, jobs are scarce for the hundreds who have studied four to eight years for a onee an all but certain ticket to academic or professional success. And edu- say the forecast for the next decade looks bleak. "Jobs are tight now and going to remain tight," said Robert L.

Colleges and universities, citing increasing financial burdens and cutbacks in federal funds for scientific research, are dropping research projects and cut a ir Bbby 16) Second Front The Pensacola News 2A Thursday, January 14, 1971 Pollution Replies Received ir os in) ft I Two Principals In Alleged Plot LEWISBURG, Pa. (AP) -Robert G. "Bobby" Baker, smiling thinly and tight lipped, surrendered today to a U.S. Marshal to begin a prison term for cheating "I shall and I shall do it with "honor," Baker told newsmen' ias'n he strode through the snow into the Federal Courthouse, ending his four year battle for freedom.

Baker, the Washington influence peddler who once boasted that Lyndon B. Johnson was "the best friend I ever had around the Capitol," wore sunglasses despite the gray morning peppered with freezing rain. Inside the' building he took off the glasses and slipped them into the inside pocket of his grey pinstripped suit and rode the el-, evator to the fourth floor office of Marshal John Buck. There he introduced himself and was taken out of sight.

By PETER BEHR News-Journal Gannett Service WASHINGTON GNS The Nixon Administration has obtained 202 replies from 250 industrial, plants which were asked to divulge details on the wastes they discharge into waterways and municipal sewers. These are the first replies in what will become, later this year, a national industrial waste inventory covering, 10,000 plants one out of every three in the nation. The inventory is considered a crucial part of the expanding federal campaign against industrial pollution. No new threats to public health were discovered in a quick, cursory inspection of the industry replies, said the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). U.S.

Steel, Armour and Borden Inc. were among the companies which did not answer the FWQA's appeal for facts on industrial wastes. The government's questionnaire was voluntary. Some of the replies are filled with details on the dumoing of mercury, arsenic and other potentially hazardous substances. Others disclose volumes, temperatures and characteristics of huge industrial discharges.

But many other company replies give, in effect, no more than name, rank and serial number. David D. Dominick, acting director for water quality in the EPA, said he was very much encouraged by the number of replies to the questionnaire. It remains to be seen whether EPA will try to double check the truthfulness of the industry replies, or seek new legislation to make replies compulsory, he said. Dominick renewed EPA's pledge that the replies will be open 4o public inspection, even-though some industries objected sharply to public disclosure.

The purpose of the sampling of 250 industrial completed Jan. 7, was first, to discover industry's response to the appeal for information, and second to perfect the form of the questionnaire, said Water Quality Enforcement Officer Jees Lewis. The full inventory of 10,000 industrial, plants will play a key role in determining federal ef- Continued on Page 3A) Forecast llllilBillplWS 4. ties of the surrender, which apparently include the signing of commitment papers, his depu- ties would drive Baker the ap-, proximately three miles to the high-walled U.S. penitentiary on the outskirts of this central Pennsylvania community.

Baker, 42, lost his last bid to avoid jail last month when the U.S.' Supreme Court refused his appeal for a review of his conviction on charges of larceny, income tax evasion, fraud and conspiracy. He said he drove here from his Ocean City, home this morning with his family but declined to identify any of them. Asked what he planned to do in prison. Baker replied, "I have no idea." Warden Noah Aldrich said Baker would be held at the main penitentiary, a maximum security institution for about a week. He would then be transferred to nearby Allenwood Farm, a minimum security facility, and part of the sprawling Lewisburg complex.

Here are held many of the nation's draft dodgers and income tax evadors. It is at Lewisburg that James R. Hoffa, the leader of the million-member Teamsters Union is serving a jury-tampering sentence. For nearly four years, Baker, in repeated appeals, staved off starting a one- to three-year sentence imposed after his April 1967 conviction on seven counts of theft, income tax evasion and conspiracy to defraud the government. The onetime secretary to the Democratic majority in the U.S.

Senate a post Johnson helped him get had been accused in a 1965 indictment of. underpaying his income tax in 1961 and 1962, taking the money across state lines, helping another person falsify his federal income tax returns, and pocketing about $80,000 in funds that he had solicited as political campaign All this Baker now a real estate developer in Ocean City, Md, steadfastly denies. He contends that some of government evidence which helped convict him was tainted because it had been obtained by wiretapping, which' the courts nontheless have upheld as legal. Baker came to Washington in 1942, a poor Senate page boy from Pickens, S.C. His quick wit and ambition charmed Johnson, the Texas Democrat soon to become the Senate majority leader.

While Johnson was leader of the Senate, Baker's activities gained momentum. As the appointed secretary to Senate Democrats, Baker carried out a moonlighting career as an undercover representative for several business interests, includ- ing freight forwarding, a Puerto Rican meat dealer, and vending machine company. Baker later testified that Johnson urged him to drop his outside business activities, but Baker ignored him, PENACOLA AND VICINITY: Mostly cloudy this aftornoon thrDugn Friday nioht witti a ehanc of showers this afernoon, but becomlno somewhat mora llkalv lata toniaht and Friday.
