Land Records
To Be Modernized
WASHINGTON, UP*—'The gov
ernment is going to modernize its
public land records for the first
time since it began them in 1812.
That’s the year it set up the Gen
eral Land Office.
Director Edward Woozley of the
Bureau of Land Management an
nounced Monday award of a $108,
405 contract to York (Pa.) Tabu
lating Service to get the job start
ed. It will key punch, verify and
sort some six million tabulating
cards and make them into a con
trol document index.
This job is to be completed by
June 30, 1956.
A second phase of the moderni
zation calls for a total revision of
the basic federal land records for
the 17 western states over a period
of five years at an estimated cost
of five million dollars.
“The modernization program
will constitute the first innovation
since 1812 in a records system
that has become badly antiquat
ed,” Woozley said.

Labor Shortage Is
Expected Problem
In Machine Age
WASHINGTON, »>—The head
of a leading electrical firm said
Tuesday the nation’s major prob
lem in the Machine Age is more
likely to be a labor shortage than
mass unemployment.
Don G. Mitchell, chairman and
president of Sylvania Electric
Products, Inc., said he does not
share fears that automation, or the
growing use of labor saving ma
chinery, will result in fewer jobs.
Instead, he said, it will create
more employment.
“But I am concerned,” he said
in testimony prepared for the
Senate-House committee studying
automation trends, “about the
strong probability of a labor short
age in the years ahead unless the
rate of mechanization is in
creased.”
Mitchell said government data
shows industry employed 44 mil
lion workers in 1947 and 50 mil
lion in 1954. Yet, he said, if pro
duction techniques had ’ not pro
gressed in the interval, 58 million
workers would have been re
quired to handle the 1954 output.

increasing costs, and we need ad
ditional money to increase pro
duction.”
The raise brought the price for
St. Lawrence customers to $131
a ton, delivered in New York.
