No Critical Unemployment Seen For West WASHINGTON. OB The labor department foresees no critical unemployment In the west, generally, during the win ter months. It warns, however,' that lobs will decrease In most section" after the first of h v;ar. or the Seattle, Wash., area, for Instance, the Bureau of Employ ment Security says unemploy ment Is "not expected to reach very substantial proportions." In contrast, increased unem ployment is anticipated in the Tacoma and Spokane areas. De spite a 20-per cent drop In agri cultural employment between July and September in the Spo kane area, the September labor surplus there is described as "only slight." That at Tacoma, where a couple of plywood mills closed, is called "moderate." At Portland, Ore., a "small" further decline in employment is looked for after the first of the year, with a layoff of workers in the seasonal food processing in dustry. In California, as may be ex pected because of their differing Industries, sharp contrasts are found in the larger labor mar kets. San Diego's situation is ex pected to improve by the first of the year. The labor market In Los Ange les is expected to be determined by the extent to which reductions are made in forces engaged in primary and fabricated metal pro duction and in shipbuilding. Further declines in construction and service employment at San Francisco are expected after the first of the year. Official Guide Names Foun Leading Golfers Of 1949 NEW YORK, Dec. 5 OP) Charles It.
