should make demand upon
Russia and her satellites to
cease forthwith To- make such
shipments and impose a COM

the demand is not complied

The United States ought to
state that what is going on in

just before bed time is fol

easily and quickly detect
coughs. sneezing, low or high

quicker at night than during

Such night trips will return

Work Life Span Declines

rate of increase in our life expectancy.
It's true that our overall life expec-
fancy is still rising, but the gain dur
ing the past decade has been a scant
IL years, to 66.6 years. In contrast, the
increase in life expectancy since 1900
has been a whopping 1874 years. The.
leveling off in improvements in prolong-
ing life may be only temporary, but
the fact is there has been little recent
progress in extending the life expec-
fancy Of a ~2O-year-old mar and virtually
none in extending the life expectancy
of our older people.
These, then, are the explanations for
the striking decline in work life
expectancy = accelerated trends toward
longer schooling, earlier retirement and
only a small increase in overall life
expectancy.
What are the implications?
At the younger ages the trend toward
longer schooling is fine. We face
tough, overwhelming" problems in pro-
viding young workers with the right kind
Of training to fill jobs in our era and
in financing the training.
At the older ages the trend toward
earlier retirment flashes signals Of deep
trouble - economic, social and politi-
cal. We are not, as Garfinkle says
bluntly, using ''the working abilities and
experience Of the older retired persons"
We are not needing their wishes and
needs '1for more adequate income a
well as the desire for recognition"
Every day, the ranks of older persons
wanting to work, needing to work and
yet unable to find employment are swell
ling. Their numbers will increase no
matter how prosperous our economy I'M
til we face squarely the challenge Of
their training, retraining and usefulness.
Employing both Duh young and
old for jobs in our modern society al
ready is one Of our giant manpower
problems. We are only beginning to
grasp the scope Of the task.

The infamous Gesell Report
which would use the armed forces
to compel racial indignation in
communities near military install
lations is still around. Unless &C
ton is taken to thwart this un-
American monstrosity it, like a
snake, is going to strike stealthily
and suddenly.
Interesting indeed is the COM
ment that General George H.
Decker, retired Army Chief of
Staff, has made regarding this re-
port and the Pentagon's efforts to
involve service commanders in
promoting off base indignation.
Said Gen. Decker:
Throughout the history of III
armed forces, officers in uniform
have consistently refrained from
participation in local political mat
tiers. Rightfully, their concentra-
ton has been on the development
of the forces required for success
full accomplishment of missions re-
lated to national military securi-
ty. Should policy dictate that they
become involved in the affairs of
the local community in connection
with obtaining equal opportunity
for all members of the armed
services, there is the danger that
some may become involved in
other political matters as we'll.
This would in my judgment tend
to degrade the integrity of the
armed forces to an undesirable de-
gree"

For the first time in the Goth century,
the prolonged uptrend in the length Of
a mans working life in this country has
been reversed. A baby boy born now
has a work life expectancy Of Ala years,
a significant six months less than the
work life expectancy of a baby boy
born in 1850. The new born today also
can expect to live outside the labor
force for another 25-2 years, an all-time
high span.
The length Of a mans working life
is a key indicator of the economic and
social development of a nation. This
striking decline" defies many of the
comfortable assumptions we have made
about our gains in length of life in
this century.
The implications are extremely COM
plex," warns Stuart H. Garfinkle of
the Labor Dept.'s Office of Manpower,
Attenuation and Training in an exhaus-
tive report Analysing the trend. ct e
economic, social and POLITICAL effects
of developments accounting for the re-
verSal will become substantially great
er in the year ahead"
Why the unauthorized drop in work
life expectancy? What are some of the
implications?
A first reason why is the accelerated
trend toward longer schooling.
In 1900 the average young man start
ed work at Is; that was when 40 per
cent Of our work force was employed
on farms and a long working life is
part of the tradition on farms. Today,
the average age is II and increasing
numbers are waiting until q or %, when
they have completed college, to enter
the work force.
A second reason why is the dramatic
lowering in the retirment age, an al
most astonishing change" says Gar
finkle, which Of course reflects in large
part the development of retirement pro-
grams under social security and private
pension plans.
AS recently as 1850, only 50 out Of
every 1000 men "a years old left the
labor force before they were a year
older. Today the retirement rate be-
tween GA and SIS is 234 per 1000 -
nearly a triple increase in n decade,
indicating that close to one-fourth of men
counted age 81 retire by the time they
are 65. In addition, there is a tremen-
dous switch from full-time to part-time
work between these ages. At 81 the
proportion working part-time is IA per
cent; at IS it jumps to 81 per cent.
A third reason why is the declining
