undated with request for them. Not wish-
ing to become involved in a commercial en-
terprise, Notre Dame broached commercial
breeders to install the system. Dr. Foster
agreed.
Notre Dame supplied the first initial nu-
cleus of germ free pregnant rodents and
from that beginning, in the space of 6 years,
the overall production at Charles River has
quadrupled.
In 1960, Dr. Foster started the Mouse
House, again because of a demand no one
else was readily equipped to fill. He brought
in as manager his younger brother, Sumner,
32, a economics major from the University
of Michigan.
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN EMPLOYEES
From a bare few employees in the begin-
ning and through the early 1950's, Dr. Foster
now employs 115 people, 108 at the breeding
stations in Wilmington, and 7 at the admin-
istrative headquarters he has set up on
Beacon Street, Brookline.
The demand is still growing because more
and more money is being poured into re-
search.
"The biggest demand is for the small
animals," said Dr. Foster, "simply because
they are cheaper, and in the early period of
research, before important findings are made
one way or another, cost and size are factors
to be considered."
"Later if the research develops favorably,
the larger animals, like the primates, will be
used," he said.
Charles River is the Nation's largest breed-
er of the germ-free animals, and there are
only a few such operations in the Nation.
The germ-free status at birth is assured
by performing a Caesarian-section-type op-
eration on the female and passing the
progeny still encased in the placenta, into
a germ-free isolator. Highly deft techni-
cians, their hands encased in sterile arm-
length gloves built into the isolator, massage
the infant rodents to stimulate the respira-
tory system. Similar safeguards are in effect
regarding their lacteal feeding if no germ-
free female is available.
The startling proof of the existence of the
germ-free status is that if a rat or mouse
died in the isolator, there would be no de-
cay or corruption of the body since there is
no bacteria present. The relict corpse would
merely desiccate.

the New Frontier
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OP
HON. E. ROSS ADAIR
OF INDIANA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Friday, September 28, 1962
Mr. ADAIR. Mr. Speaker, a very
timely and penetrating article on dealing
with the situation in Cuba and also our
hemispheric relations appeared recently
In the Berne Witness, Berne, Ind.
I include it herewith:
CUBA, THE NEW FRONTIER
President Kennedy need not look far for
the New Frontier. It is only 90 miles off
the tip of Florida, the State where J.F.K.
likes to bask in the sunshine during the
long winter weekends.
It is no wonder the patience of Congress
and the Nation has been strained when they
know Russian arms, equipment, and tech-
nicians, are being brought to the island
outpost and yet nothing is being done about
it?due to lack of leadership.
This seems especially dilatory in view of
the fact that we send our young men and
foreign aid all over the world to fight com-
munism, and then permit them to set up
their bases right on our doorstep, or are
these merely fishing outposts? How gullible
can a person get?
Is it surprising the rest of the world ques-
tions the judgement and wisdom of our
young and inexperienced Executive? What
has happened to U.S. foreign prestige J.F.K.
talked about in his campaign?
The Bay of Pigs fiasco is one of President
Kennedy's creations. Let's hope this New
Frontier and the country's security is more
challenging to Presidential leadership and
the administration in Washington, than
playing politics and the concern for the next
election, or the America's Cup races off
Newport.
TIME TO LOOK AGAIN
The agonizing reappraisal of American for-
eign policy which was mentioned by the late
John Foster Dulles seems to be the most
pressing order of business for this country
today.
In Dulles' time, his comment was brought
on by actions of some of our allies. In this
period of the Nation's life, the obvious flaws
in a policy conceived and executed by Ameri-
cans I require immediate examination. The
policy may not have been a total failure, but
it must be subject to criticism in the light
of What has happened, and is happening,
in Cuba.
Seldom has a country been such a helpless
captive of its own designs. Unless the words
of the President and the Secretary of State
mean nothing at all, the United States dares
make no move in any spot in the world for
fear of Red retaliation in some other place
where we have prior commitments. Cuba
may not be defended because the Soviets
would strike Berlin. Berlin may not be
shielded because of South Vietnam. Action
In South Vietnam might provoke counter-
action by the Communists against Turkey.
And ,ad infinitum,
This is, of course, ,an excercise in perpetu-
ally excusing any Red thrust, or any act
by ahrushchev to slice away still another
bit of territory.
Such a policy benefits the Communists,
not the United States. If our commitments
are so interwoven as to leave this Nation
helpless, then it is only simple wisdom to
reduce them enough to provide some room
for maneuver, diplomatic and possibly mili-
tary. If what Secretary Rusk says is true,
our 'allies are an embarrassing hindrance
rather than an asset in international affairs.
The planners of policy in Washington
might also look again at the Organization of
American States. This is a sort of localized
group of nations whose interests lie pri-
marily in the Western Hemisphere. Ever
since Castro came to power in Cuba, the
United States has attempted to obtain sup-
port from these countries against the Red
dictator.
For the moment, take a realistic view of
these nations. The "ABC" powers?Argen-
tina, Brazil, and Chile?are supposed to be
the strongest in Latin America. What could
either Argentina or Brazil do about a real
external threat? What government might
be in power in Argentina at a crucial mo-
ment? A review of the other smaller nations
is even more depressing.
The United States of America cannot dump
its responsibilities onto such weak shoulders.
If our State Department does not under-
stand this simple truth, the people of
America and the rest of the world are not so
easily deluded. Whatever action is finally
taken in regard to Cuba will have to be car-
ried out in spite of the OAS, and not through
its impotent hands.
The world's greatest nation, spiritually,
economically, and militarily, must not be-
come the victim of its own poor policy. That
seems to be our fate when our obligations
will permit no latitude, and our alliances are
based on wistful hopes rather than reality.
There has to be some basic flaw in a
policy which will not permit us to defend
a position 90 miles from our own shores.

Eighty-seven Million Jobs: A Construc-
tive Solution to Unemployment
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OP
HON. ROBERT F. ELLSWORTH
or itatredS_
IN THE HOUSE Ol'EflRE8EFDAiiVES
Monday, October i, 1982
Mr. ELLSWORTH. Mr. Speaker, our
colleague, the gentleman from Missouri
[Mr. CURTIS] has written a new book,
"rughty-Seven Million Jobs," that has re-
ceived national attention since Its publi-
cation in New York a few days ago. I
take this opportunity to share with the
Congress a review of the Curtis book that
appeared in the Christian Science bforil-
tor last Saturday, September 29. / take
this opportunity further to commend the
book itself to my colleagues, as well as
to those in the executive branch who are
concerned with finding a constructive
solution to unemployment:
PiOPIX AT WORK?JOISI: Too MAN? SWAIM
(By Ed Townsend)
NEW TORN.?"We have a serious ,problem on
ow hands. We have jobs going begging and
we have people unemployed who would like
to work.'
Representative Tuosiss 11. Coarse of Mis-
send, senior Republican in the House and
a member of the House-Senate Joint Eco-
nomic Committee and of the House Ways and
Means Committee, makes this statement In a
book, "Eighty-seven Million Jobs," published
this past week by Duel], Sloan & Pearce?the
result Of 2 years of late evening Considera-
tion of a national problem that could become
a national crisis.
The book is provocative; It will be debated
widely in the weeks ahead. What it outlines
as "a constructive 80110,10; t9 uuccoploy-
tame' will .lind support in: some quarters,
will be scoffed at or challenged in others.
Nevertheless, the book is important. It
focuses new and needed attention on the
basis of problems too often considered only in
terms of statistics.
Unemployment persists at a level of about
5 percent of the civilian labor force. Meth-
ods of counting the jobless differ. Unions
contend that the Government's figures are
too conservative?that If allowanli are
made for those working only part tinft the
number idle would be about 6 million and
the percentage around 7 percent. Whichever
is right, there is almost universal agreement
at le 1,041,1st:ouch too, high.
Moreover, long-term unemployment?the
kind that really huits?has been increasing
steadily in recent years. Today there are
more than 500,000 men or women who have
been jobless more than 26 weeks and nearly
1 million who have been off jobs for more
than 16 weeks!. _
Conservatively, there is a large pool of
nearly 4 millilon men and women anxious
to go to work, according to Mr. Cuails, while
hundreds of thousands of jobs remain un-
filled because properly trained workers can-
not be found.
1:11.e problem, he says, is one of
imbalances.
"Many employers, knowing the workers
they need are not available, do not even
bother to advertise for them," Mr. Cowrie
said in a recent discussion of the problem.
The openings are for skilled workers, usually
for specialists. The job seekers?the unem-
ployed in today's labor market?are largely
vpsdrilled or semiskilled.
Pox instance, 000,000 more persons could
be employed In the field of health Services
alone if they were 'available; according to
Mr. CURTIS. Many parts of the country are
desperately short of teachers and other
school personnel. In many 'cities,' It is al-
Moat- impossible to find competent, full);
qualified secretaries.
idPreever, according to a survey by the
Missouri Congressman, there is a severe
shortage of automobile mechanics, tailors,
wiles ?CleSks,? shoe repairers, office workers,
social and. welfare workers, scientific and
technical workers, and Other classifications
of white-collar and eub rofessional work-
ers?shortages that can be found' even in
areas* with long and persistent unemploy-
ment.
However, a jobless coalminer or steelworker
cannot be fitted easily into any of the short-
age jobs. Usually, they lack the basic educa-
tion and background necessary for retrain-
ing. Too often, they are not adaptable.
And many of them are reluctant about Mak-
ing a new start in an entirely different field
Of employment.
"Too many people simply don't want to
train for the jobs that are available," Mr.
CURTIS comments, adding, "There is no magic
cure-all for our problems, but ? ? ? we must
Winch a, vast program to upgrade the skills
of our people so that they can fill the many
hew jobs being created in our highly devel-
oped and increasingly service-oriented
Society and leave their old jobs to-be filled
by others, perhaps today's unemployed with
their lesser skilla"
This would mean training and retraining
programs on a greatly expanded basis?and
with attention to developing needs. There
is entirely too much stress now on training
and vocational programs directed toward
skills little needed now or becoming obsolete,
says Mr. CURTI& There is entirely too much
thinkingi n terms of today or the past. too
Little in the new an challenging terms of
tomorrow, he adds.
"The technique of matching idle workers
with unfilled jobs Is in Its Infancy. Bo, too,
is our system of training and retraining
lurierleana to till tliejobs that must be filled
in the Alt-Weil. Boit tilttiOA WP,e.re to realize
our economic potential," Representative
CURTIS states,
The need is for a broazi ri.z.huffling, to up-
grade workers "energetic and ambitious
enough to try to improve skills or education."
Today's big waste is the underdeveloped
worker. Today's wrong technique is to try
to train the untrainable?or to pass over
him as untralnable. Tie answer, as Mr.
Coarse sees it, is not to try to retrain the
possessor of the lowest skill for newly emerg-
ing skilled jobs but to engage in a sweeping
retraining program, upgrading workers all
along the line.
It's not an easy program. It takes consid-
erable cooperation all bong the line, from
workers and their unions, companies, and
governments at all levels. It's only part of
a solution. But it's a step that can be taken
in a "free enterprise approach to our prob-
lems," according to the Congressman.
God Help Us
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. SAMUEL L. DEVINE
OP OHIO
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, October 1, 1962
Mr. DEVINE. Mr. Speaker, occasion-
ally Members of Congress receive
views from their constituents that are
of an unusual and outstanding nature.
Such is the expression of Charles K.
Hartle, of my district, reflecting the
thinking of some of the folks back home.
Mr. Hartle's observations, in my opin-
ion, are certainly worthy of the atten-
tion of my colleagues in the Congress:
GOD HELP Us
(By Charles K. Hartle)
Who can watch something die and not
feel .anguish? Who can see cherished love
diminish without the deep-down ache of ab-
ject emptiness? Who could be a passenger
ln a vehicle accelerating downhill toward
disaster and not want to scream out, "God
help us?"
What do you think about when you read
and hear reports from Cuba, Berlin, Vietnam,
British Guiana, Peiping, London, Moscow,
and Washington, D.C.? Are the American
people aware of the encircling threat to
Western freedom? Of course we are and
it's frightening. But, even more frighten-
ing is a cold, calm appraisal of our national
posture in this age of global "cat and
mouse."
Nationally, we are puzzled. No matter
how clearly you and I may see a particular
threat and no matter how strongly we may
believe in a given action, the United States
of America is puzzled. Our change of heart
in Laos, our redefinition of the Monroe Doc-
trine in light of the Cuban situation and
our tacit support of U.N. aggression in Ka-
tanga are examples sufficient to make the
point.
You've read in fiction of the great white
knight in shining armor seated upon a mag-
nificent stallion. Regularly, he meets what
seem to be insurmountable odds. Scowl-
ing, unshaven, illiterate barbarians close in
from every side. The great white knight
starts this way and that, uncertain for a
moment where to turn, what to do.
But, just as the last chance for action
nears with the enemy at swords' point on
all sides, be finds the necessary courage and
resolve. Lowering his face plate and un-
sheathing a heavy blade, he rears back on
his mount and shouts in defiance of the
enemy. Before a determined charge, the
circle of terror melts away.
