JUNEAU lR - God often sends his servants to strange places to do his work"
 The broad-shouldered pri e figeted in his chair, seemingly oblivious to the commotion around him in the Alaska State House of Representatives.
 He worked his stubby fingers endlessly. Quick, nervous smiles fitted across his face. touched by wintry winds of the Boring Sea.
 A few moments later, as he took his oath of office, Father Segundo Llorente, s. J., a native of Spain, became the first Roman Catholic priest ever elected to a state leg islature in the history of the United States.
 "Why did it have to be me, a man who has not yet completely mastered the English language?" asked the Jesuit Missionary, speaking with marked Spanish accent
 Conspicuously, and yet incon- spicuously, Father Llorente was man closely watched during the first few weeks of the legislative session.
 Then, a change in the attitude of the other members of the House and a change in the attitude of the members of the Senate be- came increasingly apparent, Very Devoted Member
 As House Speaker Warren Tay- Tor of Fairbanks puts it.
 We find him a very devoted member of the Legislature and valued man in committee work. He has the respect and confidence of all members of the House."
 Father Llorente, relatively small man with an infectious smile and a booming, hearty laugh, was elected by written votes from Alaska's 24th Election District.
 For 25 years, Father Llorente, 54, native of Spain, has been a missionary in the area, where the mighty Yukon River flows into the Boring Sea.
 Why would a Spaniard fore sake his sunny native land for the cold desolate tundra country of Alaska's Northwest Coast?
 AS a boy, always wanted to be a priest" Father Llorente ex- plains.
 "When I was about 19, I de- cided to become a missionary in some foreign land. got an Atlas and I decided to pick out the hardest spot in the whole world.
 ''I spotted Alaska and the more I read about Alaska, the more I liked it. I asked my superiors in Spaln to allow me to come to Alaska.
 They said only a visionary could dream up something like that. But I kept trying for three years, and finally they decided to let me come"

Soviet Journal Accuses U. s. And France of Air Piracy"

MOSCOW lB - A Soviet jour- nal accused the United States and France of lair piracy" allowing Warplanes to buzz Soviet trawlers and other vessels on the high seas.

A Civil Servant

Father Llorente serves as mar riage counselor and welfare agent for the state in his area, and q use those jobs to help and coun- sel them, not only as a priest, but also as a civil servant"
 Before the general election of last Nov. with the name of only one man on the ballot for repre- sentative from the district and an- other man conducting a written campaign, "The people began to talk"
 The people of the area wrote Bishop Francis Gleeson of Fair banks, Roman Catholic prelate for Northern Alaska and told the Bishop they planned to conduct Write-in campaign for Father Llorente.
 ''I got letter from my superior, who is next to the bishop, and he told me he was aware of the fact that some of these men were trying to elect me, and I had bet ter sit tight and don't wiggle."
 Father Llorente won with 210 votes to 186 for two other candi- dates.
 After the election, the bishop decided that this was all a mis- take. He said, if I knew then what I know now, 1 would never have allowed your name to used in any way whatsoever
 "So I said, all right, here is my resignation.'
 "The Eskimos told me if I re- signed they would swamp the governor and the bishop with telegrams and letters.
 ''So, I told the bishop these men are going to make a noise. The bishop said, 'okayy go to Juneau then.'"
 So Father Llorente, who de clared himself a Democrat, came.
 "I am not sorry I did, but l cannot help thinking how lone some I am for my people"

 "I had to struggle with the blub- Der and all the Eskimo foods. The throat didn't want to, but the stomach did. It was quite a strug- gle"
 Father Llorente sees a vast change in the Eskimos of today from those he knew when he first came to Alaska.
 "In those days, very few of them could speak English. They were all scattered. Now they have congregated in large villages.
 "They have councils and coun- cilmen. The children know the names of all the movie actors and actresses. They play cowboy and Indians"

next SeSSlon-you might under
standably humble it's more of
the same old bleeding heart"
stuff. But this warning comes
from Armour g. Co., a leading
meat-packing firm. Between
the summers of 1859 and, 1860
Armour closed six production
plants, reduced plant capacity
by more than 20 per cent and
cut $500 production workers
from the payroll.
Armour'S close downs were
not unique. But the establish
ment by the company and the
industry's principal unions of
an "Automation Committee"
in August of 1859 to study
the problems of workers dis
placed by the plant closings
and seek solutions to their
problems was a pioneering
move. Thus, of unusual interest
are some of the Committee S
findings on the workers posi-
tionS one year after lay-off, as
disclosed in Detroit recently by
E. L. Heckler, public relations
manager of Armour.
Few Find Jobs
/ A year after lay-off, tn e
unemployment rate of Armour's
former employees in East St.
Louis was Sc per cent, and in
Columbus and Fargo the rates
were between 25 and 80 per
cent.
! Forty-Seven per cent of the
former employees over As years
of age had failed to find jobs,
against 33 per cent of those
under As.
| In East st. Louis, 81 per
cent of the Negroes formerly
on the payroll hadn't found
any jobs at all, against SO per
cent of the whites.
Among the Armour Com
mittee's conclusions are: No
amount of contact or promo
tion will produce many jobs
when unemployment generally
is rising; no retraining pro-
gram on crash" basis will
do much good for middle-aged
individuals who have only
limited formal education to
start with; the fundamental
answer must be a carefully
planned, continuing education
program to help workers de-
velop needed abilities and skills.
Unless and until this is done

operation with all levels of
government-the hard core of
jobless in America will get
harder during each downturn,
become less soft during each
upturn.

The hard core of unemploy-
ment is softening. The num-
Der of workers out of jobs for
four months or more has de-
clined 100000 since early
spring. The number out of
work a half year or more is
shrinking too. What always
happens in business expan-
sions finally is happening: to-
tai unemployment is dropping,
the rate of joblessnesS is fall
ing, employers have finished
recalling laid-off workers and
are reaching into the labor
market for new employees. and
Labor Secretary Goldberg can
predict Significant inroads to
be made on unemployment"
without fear.
But just as the hard core
has become harder during each
recession since World War II,
SO the softening will be less
soft during this advance-for
we are creating pool of
chronically long-term unem-
ployed and of unemployables
Once strong and confident
workers in the steel, auto and
coal mining industries find
they are simply not needed in
their own increasingly auto
mated industries and they have
neither the education or the
training to switch to other in
dustries.
Problems Outlined
Men and women who only a
few years ago could earn at
least minimum wages in un-
skilled jobs are finding that
there just are not enough un-
skilled jobs to go around in
their own communities, and
they have neither the cash re-
sources nor the courage nor
the incentive nor the guidance
to pick themselves up and move
to where the jobs might be.
Older workers, Negroes, the
unskilled-these dominate to-
days long-term unemployed,
and they are on the way to
becoming permanently unem-
ployables in the 1960s.

Mr.. Bonner was cited as the

He urged organized labor to down
