Work Week

BY the Associated Press

The factory work week dipped
0.4 hours during January
to 40.l hours, the Labor De-
partment said today. 1t was the
second successive month of de-
cline.
The drop for January was
described as slightly more than
seasonal. and the Bureau Of
Labor Statistics said there
would be reason for concern If
there is a continued drop in
February.
However, the January work
week compares with one of 39.7
hours in January, 1862. e.
Along with the dip in the
work week, average weekly
earnings dropped about 81,
from $98.42 in December to
$97.44 in January. Weekly
earnings for the previous jan
uary we're $94.88.
Hourly wages remained at
the same $2.43 average level
that they were during Decem-
Der. compared with $3.50 in
January, 1862.

arise over the next year or
two." Mr.. Mcnamara said.
Sources said the impending
withdrawal Of Bats from Eu-
rope is evolutionary. They said
the advent of improved heavy
B-52s able to travel 10000
miles and the completion of a
force of tanker airplanes for
refueling aloft have reduced
the need for the Bats in ad-
vanced positions.
Economy Is Motive
Part Of the impetus for pull
ing back the medium bombers
certainly is financial, since the
Defense Department has been
searching for ways to cut down
spending overseas and stem the
gold dollar drain.
There also has been a morale
problem, sources said, with B-47
crews shuttled overseas for 30
day tours away from their
families every few months.
The lessening Of Importance

tiations with Spain over renew

Kennedy Wants Capitol.
As Youth Showcase

President Kennedy told Con.
gress today that Washington
should take the lead in show
ing the country how to develop
its youth.
In his special message on
youth, Mr.. Kennedy said:
THE Nations Capital should
be a leader and example in CIV
ing young people full oppor-
tunity for the full development
OF their capacities, whether
they are living in their own
homes or must be provided for
in other settings.
II hope that Congress and
the District Government can
cooperate to make a wide
range of high quality services
to children and youth avail
able in the District"
Mr.. Kennedy added that he
already had indicated concern
"over the urgent need to pro-
vide improved services for chill
dren and youth" here, referring
to his press conference on
January "a and a White House
message on the District to Con-
gress a week earlier.
The President at his press

conference had urged Congress
to allow spending "for schools,
for housing, for changes in the
environment, for assistance to
young people who are neglected,
for orphans"
He said, in answering a ques-
tion on Thanksgiving Day vio-
lence at the new stadium, that
many young people are neg
lected in the District.
He also indicated a belief
that both Congress and the
White House in the past have
Shirked responsibility toward
the District and said he is
hopeful that something can be
done Ito ease the situation"
in the next year.
In his welfare budget mes
sage, Mr.. Kennedy asked Con-
gresS to approve aid to needy

HI-The National
Service Corps

The Youth Employment bill
should not be confused with a
second important proposal
the National Service Corps. d.. 4.
The National Service Corps is
designed for those citizens of
every age, young and old, who
wish to be of help-whose
present skills. jobs or aptitudes
enable them to serve their
community in meeting its most
critical needs and whose
idealism and situation in life
enable them to undertake such
an assignment on a volunteer
basis.
The logic and value of a
National Service Corps has been
demonstrated by the work and
success of our Peace Corps
overseas. 1t is equally clear
that the opportunities for SER
vice are also large here at
home. Although the United
States is the wealthiest Nation
the world has ever known, the
poverty of millions of our peo-
Pile, and the need for training,
assistance and encouragement
in numerous corners of our
country provide fertile
fields for those citizens with
the desire and the ability to
be of assistance.
:. This is not only a con-
structive channel for youthful
energy and idealism. Many Of
our senior citizens indicated
their willingness to participate
in this endeavor. The thousands
of mature and able persons who
stand ready to volunteer their
services to improve community
activities should be afforded
the opportunity to do so.
| 1, therefore, recommend legis-
lation to establish a National
Service Corps-a small care
fully-selected volunteer corps
of men and women of all ages
working under local direction
with professional personnel and
part time local volunteers to
help provide urgently needed
services in mental health CEN
ters and hospitals, on Indian
reservations. to the families Of
migrant workers, and in the
educational and social institu-
tions of hard-hit slum or rural
poverty areas.
This small task force Of men
and women will work in locally
planned and initiated projects,
at the invitation of community
institutions, and under local
supervision. The community's
chief goal should properly be
the development of the project
to the point where local vol
unteers or paid staff workers
could take over permanently
the tasks initially undertaken
by the eorpsnen; and it is to
be hoped that the example of
men and women rendering this
kind of full-time voluntary SER
vice would motivate many more
Americans to participate on a
part time basis. -.

W-FomiIy Welfare

The major changes in
the public welfare programs
which I recommended last
year and which the Congress
enacted represent a major
Federal contribution to family
welfare. To help reduce depend
ency and rehabilitate families,
the new law authorizes in
creased Federal assistance and
encouragement to the States
to improve their programs for
children, including families
where the father is looking for
work and living at home. .
My budget request for fiscal
year 1864 includes substantial
increases in funds for aid to
children through the public as
sistance and child welfare grant
programs and for improved
services to reduce depend
ency. / urge the Congress
to appropriate adequate funds

vital programs. go.

concern over the urgent need to

that Congress and the District
Government can cooperate to

H-Youth
Employment

While the number Of young
persons entering the labor
force will increase sharply in
this decade, augmented by an
excessive number Of school
drop-outs. many Of the tradi-
tional occupational opportuni-
ties for young and relatively
unskilled workers are declining.
For example, as a result Of
the archaeological economic
changes Of the last decade and
more. it is not likely that more
than one out of every 10 boys
now living on farms will find
full-time work in agriculture.

additional youth employment
opportunities is critical. The
