Chicago Tribune published interview with Dr. Thomas O. Paine, NASA Administrator, in which he said average age of space employees had risen rapidly as result of cutbacks in aerospace employment. "We're going from a bunch of rather swinging young engineers doing things in the forefront of science and technology back to an older, more conservative group, because young people get laid off first.'" Continued cutbacks in technology and research could cost U.S. leadership in these fields. "Russia is coming on strong and is spending a greater percentage of her GNP on space defense and technology than the U.S. is." (C Trib, 7/5/70)
