Manpower Needs

The Engineering Profession in the developed countries has greatly increased in numerical strength in recent years but the future pattern is not clear and forecasts of manpower needs in industry are unreliable. Nevertheless, statistics indicate that the United States has, relative to the industrial population as a whole, a clear advantage in technological manpower in the Western World though Russia may, perhaps, be even stronger. The difficulty of evaluating the evidence is stressed. In the world as a whole international co-operation tends to reduce the inequalities of distribution but an enormous task lies before the developing countries which need to produce and retain many more engineers.

The Future

John’s funeral was held in Trenton and the whole town turned out to say goodbye. Tributes weregiven; respect, love, and admiration were expressed. John’s charitable giving and lifetime achievements were shown. He left a void in the community, in the engineering profession, and at the heart of the East River bridge project, which was quickly filled by his son Washington. John’s life is summed up. He wasn’t particularly interested in happiness. He was a seeker and a believer. He was a thinker and an ideas man, and as such, he always had his eyes fixed on the future and on the opposite shore, not—sadly—on those around him, especially on his son Washington.

The Future

A symposium on the future of the International Latitude Service (I. L. S.) is to be held in Helsinki in July 1960. My report for the symposium consists of two parts. Part I, denoded (Mk I) was published [1] earlier in 1960 under the title “Latitude and Longitude, and the Secular Motion of the Pole”. Part II is the present paper, denoded (Mk II).

Second-epoch photographs have now been obtained for nearly 850 of the 1246 fields of the proper motion program with centers at declination -20° and northwards. For the sky at 0° and northward only 130 fields remain to be taken in the next year or two. The 270 southern fields with centers at -5° to -20° remain for the future.
