This is an important point to re

believe v that . Social.. Security
benefits - are a form, of . - welfare
payments and. are therefore bas

Instead the Social . Security
program is a work-related pro

because both the ' right to and
the amount of evry Social Se

work a person' does.
One of the most important re

tion of this Congressional session.
Crises in Vietnam, ;the Congo,
potentially - in Cyprus, and in
other troubled areas may force
Qongress to give more time to
foreign- affairs , than it did at
the last session.
MorevT, the chief divisive
issue of Congress, national elec
tions, is out of fhe way. With
increased demands being made
to spend more Federal funds for
domestic. Inflation v and-to curb
excessive deficits, our overseas
expenditures could get a more
careful review.
Chairman Fulbright of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee has suggested as much in
recent days by calling for for
eign aid requests to be presented
in separate bills according to
function. This would give Con
gress more leeway to" weed out
charitable donations to other na
tions as distinguished from more
essential expenditures based
upon U. S. interests.
After a year in which the na
tion escaped both a major war
and a repression, important
questions arise on 'how to main
tain American security and pres
tige in a world with a short
memory, for past favors extend
ed. The real questions come
over what we should regard as
vital to our national security
and what we should not. Spe
cifically, we find ourselves los
ing allies in many areas, be
cause we are often in the posi
tion of an intervenor in a fami
ly fuss. As we become involv
ed in the affairs of many small
nations, more and .more we in'
eur the wrath of former allies.
Equally important is the ques
tion of whether we are over
extending our economic re
sources, The dollar is straining
under the burdens already im
posed upon it. There is a real
limitation in the extension of
our efforts. Nations, once help
ful friends, ate mindful of the
excuse that the U. S. will solve
their -problems, be they military
op , economic,, but we must not
count upon' them when their
self-interest is at stake.
What has been said in Con
gress since the midil950's about
this drain upon our resources
and its - inevitable creation of
greater problems becomes clearer

grows, weaker, .and sooner or la.
ter, a choice must be made. '
Like til great problems this is
one. of keeping values , in .per
spective, and. using.- materials
ana resources to balance our
world, national, and individual
interests. Men by nature place
a different emphasis on 'values..
It is certain, however, that ,if
the world wants peace, security,
and happiness these must begin
in the minds and hearts of ..men.
The abundance of dollars con
ferred upon other nations can
not create of itself the neces
sary ingredient. ' '
The esteemed columnist Wal
ter Lippman summed up the.
problem in succinct fashion
some days ago. He said: "We
cannot put Africa and Asia ' in
order according to our ideals of
order , . . there is no true na
tional support for these vent
ures." At least two Senate com
mittees, Foreign Relations and
Armed Services, will be weigh
ing the wisdom of our actions in
the days ahead.

Hollar Says Record-Setting Labor Force Needed
Can North Carolina create manager of 'the. State Employ
ment office here.
He said that the . chance of
providing employment for nearly
1C0 new workers a day is a like
ly ! reality assuming "that the
relatively high production of
goods and services continues in
the State," and that1 "we have
continued scientific and techno
logical achievements." .
The ESC study also assumes
that no armed conflict will oc
cur which will alter the State's
present rate of economic growth.
Hollar said that during the
sixties more workers will be
employed by every major North
Carolina industry, except agri
culture. Rural, farm residents
were 50 per cent fewer in 1960
than in- 1940, and although the
stale may or may not maintain
ijs position of having the largest
farm population in the nation
thi? number of farmers and farm
workers may drop another .30
per cent by l!l70. '
Yet despite migration, which
36,000 additional jobs each year?
' A new publication called
"Challenge, of the Sixties" pre
pared by the State Employment
Security Commission, -forecast's
that by 1970 an estimated 2,000,
000 Tar Heels will be on the job,
a gain of 36,000 workers during
the '60's.
By simple arithmetic that av
erages nearly 100 new workers
each day, every year. :
Using data and methods from
the Census Bureau and the U. S.
Department of Labor, the agen
cy predicts a population of 5,
300,000 persons in North Carolina
by 1970, and .believes the State's
labor force -will increase during
the decade two and .,' one-hair
times the gain experienced dur
ing the prior 10-year period.
This represents a population
increase of 17 per cent, and a
record-setting labor force, ac
cording to William A. Hollar,
her husband,
during the '50's, North Carolina's
labor force is rapidly changing
I in nom composition ana skuis.
"Each year during t'his dec
ade," explained Hollar,, "an av
erage of 91,000 youngsters' will
become 18 years old, and the
number entering the labor mar
ket from the 18-24 year-old age
"i-oun will probably increase by
50 per cent over the I960 level.
"iiy 1970 it is anticipated that
37 out of every, TOO persons in
the labor force will be women.
Old people will' retire' earlier.
Young people will stay in school
longer."
By- 1970 the ECS predicts a
75 per cent gain over 1960 in
college enrolments. The large!
number of students reaching 18 j
years will contribute considera-l
bly to these rising enrolments.
College enrolments and enrol
fleet the greater emphasis on
education and more .stringent job
requirements.
Hollar sairl that rather than
indicate any alarming increase
