Federal Clumsiness Displayed In Handling Unemployment Situation By PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON. The way the great, clumsy federal government goes after a problem Is sometimes really amazing. Consider the handling of this Increased unemployment situation, for example. It ha taken seven months to get the White House machinery In motion to tell government procurement agencies where to place their orders to help relieve unemployment In a dozen scattered areas of the country. And now that It is done, there are consider able doubts over whether "the program" will do much good. The fact that there was a ser-1 came apparent last January. Ks-, rSVCnOlOQIST timaied unemployment was l.-i ' 41.000 in December. It Jumped to 2.600.000 in January and 3.221, sllghtly for the next two months. Then it started to climb again In May, passing the 4,000,000 mark in June. During this period, labor union representatives in Washington were insisting that unemploy ment was really much higher. They based their contentions on reports from local unions whose members were feeling tne pincn Nobodv paid much attention. in May, nowever, Bureau oi Employment Security, which ov ersees state unemployment Insur ance benefit payments, put out a list of 10 labor market areas where unemployment was over 12 percent of tne laDor lorce. These areas were New Bedford dence, R. L: Bridgeport and Wa lerbury, Conn.; Utica-Rome. N. Y.; Scranton-Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; Mich., and San Jose, Calif. These reports were based on actual nose-counting statistics of claims paid by the states and could not possibly have been more accurate. This was no sam ple survey poll. In the meantime, the President had sent to Congress his mid year economic report, calling at tention to this problem. He had given Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer the Job of inves tigating unemployment condi tions. And he had given Dr. John R. Steelman, his assistant, the Job of "co-ordinating" there's that word again government buying in critical unemployment areas. So Secretary Snyder and half a dozen of his top aides climbed Into airplanes and Pullmans and went scurrying about in all dl Makes Plea For Office Nuisance CHICAGO, Aug. 18 UP A psychologist fixed his searching eye today on that well known phenomenen the office nui sance. The apple polisher, said Prof. A. C. VanDusen, is that way be cause he feels Insecure. The Northwestern university psychologist told the National In situte of Commercial and Trade Organization executives not to fire problem employes, but to de termine why they tick off kev. "Actually, it all boils down to the workers basic needs, Van Dusen said, such needs are ap nroval and recognition, a feeling of emoiional security, accom plishment and contribution." And if somebody in the organi zation regularly causes his em ployer mental anguish, maybe it s tne fault of the boss, him self. Van Dusen urged the execu tives to consider their own atti tudes toward the office force. There ought to be an "atmos phere of approval" In every of fice, he declared. The boss should be quick to acknowledge a Job well done. When something is done wrong, the bos should he sure the cm nloyee understands why it isn't satisfactory. He shouldn't set a vaeue, hard to follow office policy. He should stand behind his subordinates when they are right. If there a a change to be made which directly affects an indi vidual employee, that person reel ions to discover where the should be forewarned and given unemployment was.

They found most of the unem ployment was right where BES had said it was last May. Stand By For Miracle Of course that would have been too simple. Just think of all the "staff meetings, interdepartmen tal conferences and determina tions of operational procedure on a high policy-making level" that would have spoiled. So now the program has been "activated." as they say in Wasn Ington jabberwocky. Armed forc es and general services procure ment officer and 18 other--agencies that do some of their own spending of government money have all been writing letters on While House stationery. They have been told that wherever pos sible, they should channel their orders into the designated dis tress areas. They have been reading in the papers for the past month that they were going to be asked to do this. But gelling a leer on While House stationery is suppos do this. But getting a letter on Stand by for a miracle. Actually, the program may not do much good, even If It works. In the dozen distress areas are perhaps 200,000 unemployed workers. Even If all of them could be put back to work on gov ernment orders tomorrow, total U.S. unemployment of 4.000.0O0 would be reduced by only five percent. And, - Van Dusen said, subor dinate should be given respon sibility when they're ready for it. Custom Slaughtering and Curing Have your animal slaughtered onH cut by us.

The gain i a sign that business men are stocking up on goods at last tor tail anu mrislmas sales. Finance official here predict ed today this uptrend will go on with perhaps some interruptions right on up to Christmas itself. 'Ine rejuvenating effects on the economy of increased inventory buying can be judged by the fact lhat the Commerce department singled out a cutback In that buy ing as the prime cause of the 19-49 dip in business. A Federal Reserve board re port showing an $0,0U0,0U0 in crease in loans to business men by leading city bank during the week ended August 10 mirrored a virtually country-wide improve ment. All districts shared in the ex pansion except the Cleveland dis trict, where there was a $7,000, 000 downturn, and Boston, where the loan volume was unchanged, officials reported. The big gains were $38,000,000 in New York City and $20,000, 000 in the Kansas City district. At New York, the loan increases extended to a wide variety of Business fields, officials said. With business men ordering more goods to sell in turn to their customers, factories can be expected to step up operations and in some cases recall workers laid off when order thinned or stopped. Truman Scores Probt Of Gtntral Vaughan (Continued from page 1) DRUNKS PENALIZED Municipal court Judge Ira B Riddle reported the disposition of the following cases today: George Harrison Bowman, 54, Roseburg, pleaded guilty to being drunk on a public street and was committed for ten days in the city Jail in lieu of payment of $20 fine. Pleas of not guilty, entered at the time of their arrest Aug. 16, were changed to guilty today by Walter Emll Cox, 47, and Alfred Nichols McCarthy, 62, both of Eugene. Cox paid a fine of $20 on a charge of being drunk on a pub lic street and McCarthy paid a total of $30 on charges of drunk and disorderly. said that, he will go before the committee and make a full state ment on all matters with which his name has been connected," the President said. "I suggest, as the chairman of the committee has done, that you gentlemen and your editors, in common f,rness, suspend judg ment on General Vaughan until he has been heard by the com mittee." Senator Hoey asked during the hearing yesterday that senators withhold statements denouncing Vaughan. He spoke out after Sen ator Mundt IR-S.D.) had called Vaughan, among other things, a ' finagling bargainer." The President made it clear that he does not approve of the way the hearings have been handled. Nima Used Unfavorably Vaughan' name has come up repeatedly at hearings of the com mittee which is looking into ac tivities of so-called five percent ers persons who help In seeking out government contracts for a fee usually five percent. His name has come up In con nection with gifts of several home freezers, activities in be half of a California race track seeking to get a building permit when materials were scarce, and efforts of a New Jersey. molasses firm to get a permit for addi tional scarce sugar, after the company had been accused of vi olating a sugar rationing order in 1946. Mr. Truman said "most of the favorable testimony" concerning Vaughan has been held behind closed doors while the unfavor able side has been produced at open hearings. The hearings, he went on, have been behind closed doors "par ticularly if they were friendly to Vaughan." He went on to say that much of the unfavorable stories have resulted from "leaks" from with in the committee. Some of the newsmen took is sue with the President, saying that virtually all the recent hear ings have been public. The Weather U. S. Weather Bursau Office Roseburg, Oregon Mostly cloudy today.
