PANAMA CITY (AP) - The presi-

Booth, says an agreement should be
reached early next year to turn the
company's banana plantations over
to the Panamanian government.

services, were up 1.1 per cent, the
sharpest increase since a 1.2 per
cent rise in September 1974.
Before today's figures were re-
leased, James L. Pate, the Com-
merce Department's chief econo-
mist had said he didn't see any evi-
dence that a price bulge might be
coming.
Prices have risen 6.6 per cent so
far this year and were 7.3 per cent
above the level in November 1974. In
all of 1974, prices rose 12,2 per cent.
This November, the Consumer
Price Index stood at 165.6, meaning
that It required $16.56 to purchase
the same amount of goods and serv-
ices that sold for $10 in the 1967 base
period.

obtained Illegally collected evidence,
and that it illegally delved "into the
private personal life" of Jones.
Jones had applied for a private in-
vestigator's license in 1974, but was
denied the license by a unanimous
vote of the committee.
The petition contends Jones had no
application for a license pending at

all levels for people who want to
work; it's as simple as that," he
said, people in the area received
payments from the Oklahoma State
Employment Service. While die av-
erage handout was about $58 a week,
many received as much as $86 a
week, or $4 less than the minimum
wage, they said.
Bill Hanna, manager of the central
Oklahoma City employment office,
said the 7.3 unemployment rate re-
flects a tight job market rather than
an open market as the employers
suggested.
Workers in metropolitan Oklaho-
' ma City now total 339,400, up 2,600
over the October figure, he said.
The corresponding rise of unem-
ployed as well as employed people
was attributed to more people enter-
ing the labor markdt, many of them
for seasonal-jobs.
"The problem we have a lot of
times is salary scale, getting people
to work for minimum wage levels or
under," he explained.
"We find people that occasionally
prefer to wait until a better-paying
job .comes along. On the other hand,

But most of the presents, he

Senate.
Speaker Carl Albert said as far as
he knew Ford had not been con-
vinced of the idea. Albert added:
ing to enter trade schools and ap- "They haven't sold me at all. I imag-
prentice programs.
"The skilled laborer in this coun-
try is cleaning up. They are making
alot of money. You can't expect a lot
with just a high school diploma and
it's going to get worse."
For the more risky occupations
ine I'll be the last one to cave in."
Ford vetoed the tax-cut extension
because he said such a reduction in
federal income must be tied to a cut
in .spending.
Albert said the House Is "not going
to put down a figure and bind our-
selves by law 12 months in ad-
vance."
Asked whether he thought the Sen-
ate proposal could pick up enough
votes in the House to override a
Ford veto, he commented: "I doubt
it." The House was unable to over-
ride Ford's veto of the tax cut on
Thursday.
Chairman Al Ullman of the House
Ways and Means Committee said he
would support the proposal only if
Ford agreed to it in advance.
While the compromise plan calls
on Congress to reduce spending by
$1 for each dollar of reduced taxes
next year, it also says the pledge
would not prevent the setting of
higher or lower spending ceilings by
normal budgetary processes.
The compromise wai worked out
by Sens. Russell B. Long, D-La.,
Roth and others.
House leaders, meanwhile, contin-
ued their plans to keep the chamber
in technical session through the holi-
days. '
This will not mean any actual leg-
islative action in the House, howev-
er. It is a procedure under which a
handful of members can meet at
least every three days to legally con-
tinue the session while most mem-
bers take their Christmas vacations
as planned.
If members were to adjourn, Ford
could call them into a special session launched its probe into Jones' activi-
to act on tax matters, and this pro-
cedure prevents that.

"We expected that. We knew it

market."
i As for the former, Hanna conced-
ed that they might wait "forever"
for that acceptable job to come
along.
The only rules for those on com-
pensation, he said, are that they
make themselves "available for
full-time employment" and that, if a
"suitable" offer arises, they "at
leaat go out and see what the job in-
volves."

Ralph L. Bolen, chairman of the
overall committee, said a meeting of
the full membership to finalize the
report to the council is expected
about the middle of January.
After that, he said the group wants

fore it is presented to the city coun-
cil.
"We're going to try to get it there
before Feb. 1," he said.
Mayor Latting said it would re-
quire at least one month notice to
the Oklahoma County Election
Board before any special election
could be held. She said it is custom-
ary to spend about six weeks to two
months in a promotion campaign for
any proposed revenue measure or
bond proposal.
"That would put us on a very tight
schedule, but it would still be possi-
ble," Mayor Latting said.

ma .City agency, said demands are
"tremendous" for such positions as
unskilled warehousemen, plant
workers, maintenance men and the
like, as well as for well-trained and
more highly-educated workers.
"You have alot of people who just
don’t want to work — who have been
getting unemployment so long they
will, turn down a good job," Kopp
said.
"They all want to start as execu-
tives instead of work their way up.
They want to become vice president. Hke oil field work, common laborers
of a bank but don’t want to start out
as a bank teller.
'"Diere are plenty of positions at. a year mark, said he said.
Demand for people with secretari-
al skills is booming, as is demand
for salesmen, trained or not, said
Schonwald. r. . ....
Farther up the scale are the mid-
dle-management workers and execu-
tives who are also enjoying a high
demand,' especially in this part of
the country, according to employ-
ment agency manager Rose Mary
"I can't see where there's an un-
employment problem," said Mrs.
Cannon, whose service caters to the
college-educated.
'‘ Here again, applicants often wait
several months before accepting a
position. But the difference between
Mrs. Cannon's clientele and Hanna's
is that most of hers already have
jobs. "A’ good many are looking for
advancement. They already have
good jobs, so why should they take
anything that comes along?" she
said.
Kopp said the failure of the un-
skilled and under-skilled in finding
good jobs is often because they ig-
nore the potential of jobs — the
chance for advancement — and hold
out for immediate results.
"One particular young man, a high
school graduate, went to work as a
management trainee for $150 a week
for a chain outfit. Within 90 days he
had gone up to something like $225
or $230," he pointed out.
Often the ambition is there, but
not the know-how.
"A lot of people don't know how to
apply for a job," he said, adding that
an applicant should make an ap-
pointment for an interview and then
show up with a resume in hand and
properly dressed for the position.
"There's a fallacy that there are
not enough jot*," Kopp concluded.
