ttovote 0ur Polaris Fleet The United States and the free world are relying to a major extent today on the success of the Polaris submarines to keep the peace. The U.S. Navy has made amazing progress in developing a fleet of nuclear submarines: with the commissioning of the Alexander Hamilton last week. we now have 29 nuclear powered subs in operation. But more important, perhaps, is the fact that in 30 months since the first Polaris submarine joined the fleet, the Navy has been able to develop and commission 12 of these critically- important craft.. Of all the war deterrents we have, the Commu- nists hate and respect our Polaris submarines most. For in each Polaris ship, the Navy has n secret base for launching 16 Polaris nuclear - missiles. . These ships can be dispersed all over the face of the world, far under the ocean. Even if one or two might be knocked off by the enemy by some chance shot, it would be impossible for the whole fleet to be wiped out. Furthermore, with nuclear power, the subs can remain submerged for weeks at a time. -This Editorial Continues On Page Two News Briefs International ELECTION BOYCOTT PLANNED BUENOS AIRIB IAP! - A political alliance ot Peronisls and u.nions representing 2.5 million workers has ordered its followers to boycott Sunday's presidential elections.

In doing so. he is gambling that the heightened civil rights crisis will boost their chances. President's Program The Prmident's job opportunity package would heel up two existing programs, It would also raise the money figure on other programs which the President sought earlier this year but which have yet to be enacted.

The accent at the proposals ls on youth. ln brief. the President is asking lor: -Broadenlng ol the Manpower Develop ment and Training Act ol 199. a three year program to retrain workers lor new jobs. -Additional lnada to nurture, a new welfare program, authorized in 1967. un- der which reliel recipients can be re- quired to perform community work or take training in retum lor relief checks. -Enaciment of three new programs - youU1 employment. vocational education and adult literacy - on a larger scale than was envisioned earlier ln the year. The youth 'anploymmt Drotrlm would set up a tederal Youth Caiservation Corps and a hometown youth corps lor state and local work projects. The vocational education program would provide federal aid lor job training tn schools. The literacy progrln would pro- vide lederal assistance to provide the equivalent ol an ellitb grade education ltr adult llllteralu. In his civil rights message to Congress, President Kennedy argued that employ- ment opportunities play a major nie in determining whether other civil rights gains by Negroes will be meaning,lul. Dimensions Of Problem 1'he decision to hook the job training proposals into the civil rights program grew out ol the series ot White House civil rights meetings which the President had been holding since racial tensions reached crisis proportions. lt became clear. amon other things, that the tensions H were moimting in the North as well as the South. and that unemployment was largely at the core ot the Northern problem.

There are twice as many unemployed Negroes as whites. and the unemployment rate for ymths hctwecn 16 and 21 ls' slightly more than double the overall un- employment rate.

All of these are skills that com- mand high wages ashore. Yet our Navy pays these men one-half or less than they would receive for similar work ashore.

The temptations of shore life, with high pay for the skills that the Navy has paid heavily for, can at times turn a skilled Polaris sub crewman into a civilian worker at great loss to our nation. Obviously something has got to be done about the military pay scales for these specialized skills and requirements.
