Congress debates hiring operators for automatic elevators
In a House appropriations debate the panel approved funding to staff eight of the Rayburn Building elevators with 16 operators on a trial basis. Critics warned against overautomation while supporters argued operators would prevent accidents and keep doors from closing on passengers. The vote was 244 to 149 to hire the workers. In Harrisburg, 1,800 impoverished youths will get summer jobs through eight Youth Corps projects totaling $949,849 with most funding from the federal anti-poverty program.
