SENATOR SPEAKS OUT FOR PRESS (Continued Jrom page 1) blamed the sharp rise in in­ flation to the fact that the output per man-hour has not increased as much as com­ pensation per man-hour. Continuing, he pointed to this country's lowest average an­ nual rate of increased productivity since 1965 of all the major industrialized western countries -- 2.1 per cent. He cited 5.3 per cent in West Germany, 6.6 per cent in France, 7.9 per cent in Sweden and 14.2 per cent in Japan Percy stressed his belief that for national productivity to increase, labor and management must cooperate. "Each has a stake in doing so", he continued, "because everyone benefits from productivity increases". He concluded with an ob­ servation that Labor Unions with whom he has talked were responsive to his ideas. In response to a press question on chances for early legislation on the dock strike problem, he answered seriously that it "must be done" in the interest of mid­ west farmers. Recalling his rap session just an hour previously with students at McHenry County college, he challenged any other college to present a higher percentage of registered voters (about 69 per cent). He spoke with enthusiasm of his visit with these young people, insisting that they are well able to reason out today's problems if given the facts. The Senator pointed out that it was this age group that started the two-party system in the South, and also led the early Civil Rights movement in the fifties. Recounting several areas in which blacks have been elected to positions of leadership, he smiled in ob­ serving that "the South likes it". Continuing his comments on youth, Senator Percy declared that the young were "right on the war from the beginning. Vietnam has weakened us". He said it is only necessary to translate to youth more in­ formation on the problems to be met in solving common' goals. The subject of drugs is the one on which the Senator feels youth is not well informed Asked about his position on the SST, he told the press it was a program he favored heartily a few years ago. Percy said he realized his support was a mistake, adding that he recently worked just as hard to defeat what he referred to as a "flying Edsel". On the subject of pollution, the Senator said the govern­ ment can, and is, doing something about this serious problem, but he pointed out that the real answer rests with the public. Percy said he favors national health insurance, which he commented is a certainty. He asserted that "now it just depends on what kind of program it will be". The Senator referred to the lack of doctors throughout the country as a real "health crisis". The Press conference con­ cluded, a social hour followed IMMUNIZATION PROGRAM SET FOR JAN. 26 (Continued from page 1) are preventable by im­ munization.
