...notably the switch from bombers to missiles, have already seriously hurt many industries and localities. Aircraft companies alone abolished nearly 50,000 jobs between 1962 and 1964, largely as a result of declining military demand. In small communities such as Port Clinton, Ohio (pop. 7,000), which stands to lose 2,000 jobs when the Erie Army Depot closes next year, such shifts can be ruinous. The committee therefore urged continued research and government help to soften the impact of changing military technology. This, rather than any likelihood of widespread unemployment as a result of disarmament, is the Administration...

The capital's mood was reflected by a businessman who said, "We've been kicked around too often. Let us lose 200 million people if we have to, and have done with it. Our national honor is at stake...

Some experts predict that Germany's inland waterways will gradually lose ground to trucking and pipelines. Shipping Expert Walter Marquardt, deputy head of the Transport Ministry's inland shipping section, questions the gloomy forecasts, noting that "traffic predictions have almost always proved too low." Even if inland shipping's share of commerce fails to grow proportionately, says Marquardt, it is still bound to increase in absolute terms as growing factories-in Germany and elsewhere-require ever greater amounts of the ores and bulk raw materials that the slow-chugging barges still carry so economically...
