Sentinel Star 1975 Orlando. Florida Monday, August 4, Workers Surer Of Job Security By KEVIN P. PHILLIPS and ALBERT E. SINDLINGER A majority of the labor force now feels there is no longer any chance of being laid off, and only I 11 per cent worry about a "good chance" that they may lose their jobs. This represents a solid recovery from the nervous apprehensions of January and February.

This and other data on the changing psychology of the U.S. labor force emerged in cumulated nationwide Phillips-Sindlinger telephone polls taken June 10 July 2. HERE ARE the key findings: 51.4 per cent of the work force now feels total job security, up from just 38.8 per cent in February. Only 11 per cent now feel there is a good chance that they will be laid off, down from 26 per cent in February. For the first time since November, less than a majority of the population (now just 48.6 per cent) is either out of work (11.2 per cent, including those no longer looking) or to some degree worried about losing their job (37.4 per cent).

When the U.S. economy is reasonably healthy, Sindlinger surveys have usually turned up a profile like that of October 1973: 4.3 per cent were unemployed, 4.7 per cent saw a good chance of being laid off, and 6.6 per cent saw some chance. Meanwhile, 84.4 per cent said there was "no chance" they could lose their jobs. As of Feb. 13, 1974, 5.7 per cent of those questioned told us they were jobless, while another 5.4 per cent thought there was a good chance of losing their jobs and 14.5 per cent thought there was some chance.

BY JUNE 1974, our survey turned up these figures: 5.9 per cent said they were jobless, 7.4 per cent said there was a good chance that they would be out of work, and 16.5 per cent thought there was some chance. Still, 70.2 per cent thought there was no chance. By Dec. 1, 1974, automobile layoffs were rising in Michigan, and only 48.8 per cent of the work force felt secure. Our interviewers reported 7.9 per cent of those questioned saying they were out of work, while a record 28.5 per cent said they had a good chance of being laid off.

The psychological bottom came in February. Here are results for the Feb. 9-19 period: 9.5 per cent were, out of work, 26 per cent saw a "good chance" that they would lose their jobs, 25.7 per cent saw "some chance," and just 38.8 per cent saw no chance. SINCE THEN, optimism has slowly returned. The number of persons seeing no chance that they would be out of work climbed to 43.6 per cent in March, 46.2 per cent in April, 48.6 per cent in May, and 49 per cent in June.

Then in early July, public employment psychology returned to a positive balance for the first time since November. A clear majority 51.4 per cent told our interviewers there was "no chance" of being laid off. By our measurements, 11.2 per cent were already without jobs; another 11 per cent felt they had a good chance of being laid off and 26.4 per cent saw "some chance." Obviously, this is not, in itself, a bright portrait of a strong economy. On the contrary, unemployment is at postwar record levels and an additional 37.4 per cent of the work force still worries about security of their jobs. Even so, July's measurements represent a substantial recovery from winter's gloomy outlook.

Admiral Accused Of Misusing Plane ST. PETERSBURG (UPI) Retired Vice Adm. Malcolm W. Cagle, former commander at the Pensacola Naval Air Station, liked spending weekends at his Virginia farm and for at least six months during 1972-73 he put a Navy Transport plane to work as his personal shuttle service, it was reported today. The St.

Petersburg Times, in a copyrighted article by investigative reporter Dudley Clendinen. said the twin-engine C-131 Convair transport plane was also used for running such errands as picking up apples and steaks from Cagle's farm and flying his wife and family on junkets. Cagle emphatically denied the report late Sunday, saying he "made no trips solely for pleasure" although "on a few occasions I did combine some pleasure with business." (AP) AL HIRT, PETE FOUNTAIN ENTERTAIN At Louisiana Superdome opening Sunday 80,000 Attend Superdome Opening By AUSTIN WILSON NEW ORLEANS (P) Watching the opening of the $163 million Louisiana Superdome from seats a dizzying 17 stories up was like watching Mardi Gras from a Ferris "Somebody's gonna get killed," said a panting spectator who had toiled up degree grade to the top tier of seats. "'It feels like you're falling on your face." "JUST HAND me an oxygen mask and let me sit here for awhile," a woman with him said. "Man, ain't it something," said another man from a nearby seat.

"Exciting space," observed a young architect in the jargon of his profession. DIXIELAND MUSICIANS down on the floor gave way to the New Orleans Summer Pops Orchestra, which in turn stepped aside for Adler Ledoux's Cajun fiddlers. The Southern University band wound up the six-hour free show Sunday. All of it blared from giant speakers suspended from the stadium's roof 270 feet up. The musicians appeared ant-sized from the top seats, but six 22-by-26-foot television screens magnified them in close-up color.

Haute couture rubbed elbows with tank tops and cutoffs, youth with the elderly, roaming the miles of ramps, lining up at the portable beer stands under the 13-acre roof. "IT'S A typical Mardi Gras crowd," said John Pechon director of security for the Dome. He estimated that 80,000 people were inside the arena at the peak of the day's action. Much of the big stadium was locked away from public view: the plush private suites, convention meeting rooms, office spaces. Much of it an estimated $1 million worth was still unfinished: escalators and elevators didn't work, ceiling tiles hadn't been installed, and water fountains were dry.

The Mardi Gras crowd didn't seem to mind. Cars backed up a half mile waiting to get into the parking garages as others tried to get out, but there were no angry shouts and little horn tooting. THE DOME was four years in planning and an equal number of years in construction. It has been the subject of political controversy and two dozen lawsuits, and its financial dealings have been investigated by federal, state and local authorities. Its cost ballooned from the initial bid price of $93 million to the current $163 million.

Girl Drowns In Pool BARRICA A An 11-year-old Chicago girl drowned Sunday in the swimming pool at the La Quinta Inn, 5825 International Drive, Orlando police said. Lori Ann Sulton, daughter of Mrs. Pauline Sulton, was swimming with her mother and friends about 6 p.m. and apparently ventured unnoticed into the deeper end of the pool, although she could not swim, police reported. Her body was found in six feet of water a few minutes after she disappeared, police said.

Town Bankruptcy Teaches Lesson MEDLEY, (P) When the tiny town of Medley went bankrupt seven years ago, it stirred little interest. But it's getting publicity now as the last municipal government in the United States to go broke. "It's all right, I guess," says Emmet Chaffin, the town's 75-year-old mayor, of the publicity. "Being that everything is worked out." MEDLEY, A town of 500 west of Miami, has been pointed at across the nation, especially by New York City where spending has exceeded income for many years. had it tough for awhile," Chaffin recalls.

"We were about $1.8 million in debt and we had $31 in the bank. They almost abolished us as a town." The town had been incorporated in 1949 when its 34 property owners voted to govern themselves to escape Dade County zoning officials who didn't want them to build homes right on the bank of the Miami Canal. MEDLEY SETTLED down until the early 1960s when its policeman started adding to the town's financial coffers by running a speed trap on a short stretch of the Palmetto Expressway. The Florida Highway put a stop to it. But Medley's real trouble started when town officials decided to fill in muck lands and lure 0 Funeral Notices BORI, EDUARDO F.

"Then we'll be able to determine which schools the children will be Mrs. Fowler said there are no definite plans on how to help the Vietnamese children assimilate into the school system.

But in 1966, Medley's creditors complained and a grand jury investigation ensued. MEDLEY WAS found to be deeply in debt. Chaffin took over as mayor, but it was a hopeless cause. The city admitted legal bankruptcy in May 1968 when it still owed $762,000 to 73 creditors. For the next five years, Medley's revenues were turned over to a court-appointed trustee.

In July 1973, Medley was in the black. "I SUPPOSE we're in about as good a financial shape as any town in Dade County," Chaffin says. The improvements are more than just fiscal. Medley has developed a park, built a recreation center and plans a new town hall next year none of it with borrowed money. "We pay as we go now," Chaffin says.

Paper To Give Up Trash LANTANA (UPI) The National Enquirer, the weekly tabloid that las tmonth sent a reporter to wade through Henry Kissinger's trash, says it will comply with a Secret Service request for return of documents it found discarded in the garbage. The newspaper reported last month some documents apparently discarded by Secret Serveice agents could be of value to a potential assassin.
