Mon., Mey 6, .9491 Unemployment Oil Decline During April, Report Unemployment declined by 15, 200 during April ai compared with a drop of only 5,100 during the same month of 1948, the Ore gon State Employment Service reported today. Twenty-four local offices listed 50,300 persons actively seeking Jobs as of May 1, about 9,000 more than reported a year ago, but In six areas Baker, Pendle ton, The Dalles, Medford, Grants Pass and Toledo fewer were without work than in 1948. Spring recovery in agriculture. construction and lumbering were given as the main reasons for the slate's rapid turn toward nor malcy, but some sections contin ued to cope with many more workers than jobs. Many new comers still were making in quiries at employment offices. Nearly 70 per cent of the job seekers were in the Portland- Ore gon City, Eugene, Salem and Coos Bay areas. In six districts Leb anon, Roseburg, Bend, Baker, Hood River and Toledo last month's unemployment decline was more than half, but Freewa ter reported more idle workers than on April 1. Unfilled non-farm job openings Increased to 1,242 from 1,002 a month before, but most of the gain was in trade, service and construction in the metropolitan district. Lumber and logging list ed 111 opportunities as compared with 82 on April 1, while construc tion outside of Portland had only 20 jobs to offer. A year ago 2,389 unfilled openings were reported. Early harvests and other farm, construction and mill jobs were expected to make further gains in employment during May. The number of those filing unemploy ment claims has declined steadily from the 68,000 February peak to 27,000 last week.

The city council of Atlanta, Ga., has restored la masks their original. function as the trappings of pageants and buffoonery. It has ordained that they shall be born, at least In Atlanta, only on festive occasions such as Hallowe'en. Anyone ignoring the order will be subject to a $200 fine and 30 days in jail. This decision was late In com- lng. But when It did come it couldn't have happened in a bet ter place. For a gang of Atlantans, some 30 years ago, began wear ing masks on occasions that were far from festive. Beneath a silly surface of titles and rituals such as little boys use when playing "secret lodge," they conducted a campaign of terrorism and mur der. Their treacherous idea spread. Soon many states had similar gangs of men, and women, too craven, ignorant, bigoted, cruel people who aped the terrorism and childish ceremonies of the Atlanta founders. They became, in some states, the ruling politi cal power. At last the revulsion of sensible people drove them un derground and nearly destroyed them. But since the war they have reappeared in some sections of the South. Now things are going to be dif ferent, at least in Atlanta. These people wno ciaim to oe 100 per cent Americans may no longer niae ineir prouu iaces from other Americans. They may still prefer to carry on their brave work under the protection of darkness. But they will no longer be able to frighten, beat and murder in faceless anony mity. These people who profess to be the Drotectors of our American in stitutions will now find it harder to flout the law which Is the key- stnnp of those institutions. For Atlanta, at long, long iasi, has unmasked the Ku Klux Klan, Mrs. J. C. Harper Claimed by Death Mrs. James C. (Lola May) Harper, 67, 130 N. Parrott St., died at Mercy Hospital Sunday, May 15. She was born at Echo, Ore., March 4, 1882, and was married to James C. Harper at Vallejo, Calif., on August 15, 1931. She had made her home In Oakland, Calif., for about 10 years before moving to Van couver, Wash., where she resided for five years. She came to Rose burg with her husband about four years ago. Mrs. Harper was a member of the Baptist Church. surviving, besides the widower. are two brothers and two sisters: R. J. Gray, Roseburg; Thomas J. Gray, Oakland, Ore.; Mrs. Ida Brooks, Vancouver, Wash., and Mrs. Katherine Fullcrton, Roseburg. Funeral services will be held In the chapel of the Long & Orr Mortuary Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Concluding services and Interment will follow In I.O.O.f. Cemetery at Oakland. THREE FORFEIT BAIL Three persons forfeited ball in Municipal Court Saturday morn ing in lieu of payment of fines.

He would not say definitely that he would support any over all reduction if it appears later that appropriations will exceed revenue, but said in an interview he is giving it "some thought." Tax Limit About Reached Rep. Woodruff (R-Mich) told a reporter: 'The president ought to take some cognizance of the situation and forget some of his ambitions along the lines of new and wide spread social security. ine people already are taxed about to the limit. I'd like to know what legerdemain he feels ne could use to reach out and grab $4,000,000,000 more out of tneir pockets. Woodruff is a member of the House Ways and Means Commit tee, where tax bills get their start in Congress. He said he was sure enough Democrats on the com mittee would go along with Re publicans to prevent a tax hike. Three Coures Open Chairman Douehton (D-NC) said he doesn't want to be put in the position of warring with the president. And he wouldn't fore cast what his committee will do. But he said his own position Is well known. "When it looks like we are go ing to spend more money than we've got," he said, "economy is in order and important." Three coures are open. Dough ton said: 1. Cut appropriations; 2. boost taxes; 3. resort to "deficit finalnc ing," which means going deeper in debt to pay for government expenses. And, he said, the responsibility for the choice rests on all the members of Congress," not on Bob Doughton and not on Harry Truman."

Farm Labor Ample But Strawberry Picking to Start Farm labor is ample In prac tically every section of the state for the coming week but by May 23 thousands of workers will be needed to start picking a better-than-average strawberry crop, the Oregon State Employment Service reported today. Ontario, where 100 sugar beet thinners are needed, was the on ly one of the 17 local offices re porting a labor shortage, but most Western Oregon areas expected to need additional help by June 1. "All reports indicate an above normal crop of berries despite re cent frost damage in some sec tions," said Earl R. LovelL OSES director, "Fair weather has made it possible for growers to put their patches In good shape so that picking conditions should be ; even better than for last year's ; record crop. If the weather con-1 tinues favorable, we will be able to offer several weeks' employ- ment for many migrant families I in addition to the available local i labor supply." ! With big acreages in two near-. by areas, the Portland district ex pects to need 1,000 outside fam ily groups for berry harvests. Cabins are available at Hillsboro, while many farms also offer cabins, tents, camping and trailer i space.
