PRESIDENT kennedy IN c0nnec-
ton with his discussion of the
railroad dispute.
Mr.. Kennedy made it clear
however, that he is not merely
thinking of the switch from
coal burning locomotives to
diesel-powered engines, which
planted the seeds of the rail
dispute by making obsolete the
work of firemen.
The President said he wants
the most comprehensive review
ever made of this complex sub
ject. In stressing breadth, he
seemed intent upon neutraliz-
ing a difficulty of some previ-
Gus studies.
Many businessmen have at
tackled other studies as making
a bogeyman out of automation,
of treating it as an unprece-
dented force that has wrecked
jobs singlehandedly.
New Climate
Henry Ford II registered such
a dissent as a member of the
Presidents advisory committee
on labor-management policy in
a report on automation Janu-
airy II, 1862.
This time, Mr.. Kennedy en-
phaSized he considers automa-
ton desirable, that he does not
consider it frighteningly new,
that 1t is merely one factor in
unemployment.
These disclaimers are in keep
ing with the new climate in
which automation is being dis
cussed. While some still speak
Of millions being displaced by
machines, many others have
drawn encouragement from
recent developments.
Chief among them are the
Kaiser Steel Co. long-range
plan to share savings resultive
from cost-cutting at the Fon-
tana (Calif) plant, and a mar
thine union agreement with Pa
cific shippers.
Both of these plans are fl
nanced by savings resulting
from automation. Employers
are encouraged to automatic,
both to ease the strain on hui
man backs and to enrich the
funds from which workers draw
benefits.
Kaiser also has a provision

predicted F. w. Dodge,

lysts. Last october, Dodge
projected 1868 contracts at

the concern anticipated a
17.2 per cent rise in heavy
construction contracts this
year along with a is per
cent drop in residential
awards. Currently, it ex-
poets only a 3 per cent gain
in heavy construction pro-
jects, but thinks residential
awards will be up 5.3 per
cent.

for retraining employees who
are displaced by machines, but
with the rising demand for
steel this spring, the system
hasn't been used very much.
Another new development has
been the extended vacation plan
first installed in the can in
dustry, then in steel, and now
being sought in aluminium. The
idea is to spread work by CIV
ing long term employees 81
month vacations every five
years or so.
A third recent development
has been the 700 batting aver
age by new Federal retraining
programs in getting graduates
back to work.
These developments are lust
beginnings, however. The mari
time program is the only one
that has been in full operation
more than a year. There also is
disagreement over their cost
and effectiveness.
Attenuation is spreading more
and more. Few workers can feel
forever secure
Smaller and Cheaper
The practice of using punched
tape to run machines has been.
refined to such a degree that
all kinds of shop and office
machines can be adopted to it.
Similarly, computers are no
longer restricted to the mono
lithic, bulb flashing giants of
cartoons; they are available in
small, relatively cheap models.
There are also small robot
machines with finger-like ap-
pendages that can be trained"
to do assembling, sorting and
other tasks requiring dexterity.
Because of these trends,
workers are uneasy. Union
negotiators are being pressed
to give priority to job security
in new contracts.
This was a major issue in
the 1858 steel strike that lasted
116 days and in the costly dock
and newspaper strikes last win
ter.
These conflicts point up the
urgency and breadth of the
problem.

Religious Affairs
Churches Urged to Aid
Birmingham Victims

The Montgomery County
Branch of the National Associa-

Colored People has appealed to
churches in the county to help
raise funds to aid church in
Birmingham, Ala, that was vir-
tuaily destroyed by a bomb.
In letter distributed by its
church committee headed by
Rev. Thomas H. Brooks, the
NAACP proposed that this Sun
day be designated Birmingham
Day in area churches, and that
special offerings be raised in
behalf of the 18th Street Baptist
Church, target of the vicious
bomb attack that took the lives
of four girls and injured many
others.
"By this act we shall convey
to our brothers in Christ that
we who are removed from the
horrors heaped upon Birming-
ham believe that He will over
come and build again." the
letter said.
Contributions will be mailed
to the pastor of the Birming-
ham church, Rev. John Cross,
on Oct. Z along with the names
of the donors, the appeal noted.
Announcement of the appeal
followed a decision by the Whea-
ton Ministerial Association to
send a contribution of $50 to the
Rev. Mr.. Cross as an expression
of sympathy for the church

who lost their daughters in the
