Arriving in Japan with four other U.S. Cabinet members to attend the fifth annual Cabinet-level conference of the two governments, Secretary of Labor Willard Wirtz, 54, and his wife Mary left the rest of the gang at the doors of their Western-style rooms in Kyoto's elegant Miyako Hotel and headed for the Japanese wing. Beds are all very comfy at home, but when in Japan do as the ... A thin tatami mat, please, and they couldn't be more comfortable stretched right out there on the floor.

They have been spurred by publicity about the Government's campaigns to help them find work. Under federal sponsorship, such personalities as Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz, Astronaut Frank Borman and Mickey Mantle are making televised appeals to businessmen to hire young people.

That has its good side: Negroes now find it much easier to land production-line jobs in the South, and unemployment has ceased to be the headache it was for all kinds of workers just a few months ago in Los Angeles, Seattle and Boston...
Bounced a Bit. When Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz went to Bal Harbour to argue the "good sense" and "good results" of the guidelines, the labor barons were hostile. "We bounced him around a bit," one official said of the private meeting with Wirtz. A.F.L.-C.I.O. President George Meany, 71, issued a pronunciamento that sounded like a declaration of independence from the Democrats. "I'm quite sure the labor movement is prepared to make its own way politically," harrumphed the old Bronx plumber. "I don't buy the idea that we have no place to go. Some...
