Employment High Despite Big Drop In Auto Industry WASHINGTON ( The gov ernment reported Friday that the number of auto industry jobs has dropped by almost 200,000 but overall nationwide employment has increased to a near record 85V4 million. The report by the Commerce and Labor departments fixed em ployment in May at bs.zjh.ovo, a record for the month. This was close to the 6514 million peak for any month set in August last year. Unemployment in May rose slightly from an estimated 2,564, 000 to 2,608,000 although a decline usually occurs at this time of the year. This was attributed to an early flood of students looking for summer jobs and some increase in auto and other manufacturing layoffs. As compared with last year em ployment is up ZVi million and unemployment is up only about 100,000. The auto Industry's estimated 200,000 unemployed means that roughly one out of every four or five regularly employed workers are now idle in that industry, which was hard hit by a slump in car sales. Friday'! survey showed a con tinued drop in the ranks of the factory work week. It declined by .3 of an hour in May to 40 hours, a more than usual early summer decline. The work week is down by .8 of an hour from a year ago, reflect ing a loss of overtime hours and short work weeks. Due to the shorter work week the average weekly pay of factory workers fell by 59 cents to $71.40 in May., . i. Roseburg May Acquire " 16 Acres For New Park (Continued From Page One) .

' Because of geographical fea tures, most of the access paths are out, and Farrell has served no tice that the city wouldn't grant right-of-way to a private purchaser because such a road would cut the city's eight acres just to the north into too small sizes for practical use. That would leave the highway for access. The Highway Commis sion has designed the new freeway for fast moving of traffic, and doesn't want side roads pushing new traffic onto and across the highway. So the commission applied for the aite. Farrell said the city would de velop the site as a picnic area if the commission grants a lease as promised. Enfield commented that the tract would make an Ideal park. If the city acquires lease of the property, it may be the second park site to come into the hands of the city this year. Both are in north Roseburg. The first, of course, is the 163- acre site at the western edge of uie va nospitai grounds, ins con veyance of the property to the city recently was approved in both houses of Congress. The bill, spon sored by Rep. Harris Ellsworth, is awaiting the signature of President Eisenhower. The 16-acre tract was to have been one of several parcels to be pui to punnc auction Here June 15, umera include an eight acre parcel at the Veterans Hospital, a 2Vi-acre portion of the Mcdford military Reservation, and nine parcels adjacent to the Cottage drove and Dorena reservoirs in Lane County. All are open still to private bids. The remainder of the tracts are scheduled for sale at 2 p.m. in the Hotel Umpqua her. Iran Seises Oil Fields Operated By Russians TEHRAN. Iran lv Using the same nationalisation 'law that drove the British from her oil fields, Iran has taken over Soviet oil works in Khuryan, 165 miles east of Tehran. The Soviet Embassy promptly registered a complaint. A Foreign Ministry spokesman replied that the government had acted under the 1951 law nationalizing tha oil industry. The spokesman said troops had been "ordered to take over instal lations which Included six oil drill ing machines, a radio transmitter and two electric power plants." Foreign Ministry sources said they did not believe the Russians would raise much fuss since the Shah and Empress Soraya are to visit the Soviet Union soon. up and her son, Maj. John Eisen hower, leaped out. "Mother, he said, and climbed into the White House car with her. Major Eisenhower is stationed at Ft. Belvoir, Va., south of Wash ington. At the hospital, Eisenhower was taken to the presidential suite on the third floor. Mrs. Eisenhower, dressed in a black silk dress, entered the hos pital with her eyes downcast and tier face drawn.

White House physi cian Howard M. Snyder was called to his bedside at 2 a.m. The press secretary said the President has not been in severe pain but that there was some soreness. Hagerty said he did not know how long the President would re main hospitalized. Before the diagnosis, Hagerty had suggested that Eisenhower might go to his Gettysburg, Pa., country place Saturday. He had said also that engage ments were being made for the President for Monday, including a meeting with Senate Democratic and Republican leaders about the foreign aid bill. There was no immediate word as to any change on Monday's plans, but the decision on hospital ization seemed to place them in doubt. Hagerty told newsmen he per sonally had sent word to Vice President Nixon regarding the President's distress. All members of the Cabinet came to the White House for the scheduled 9 a.m. meeting with Eisenhower. They were given word there of his "stomach upset," and told (he Cabinet session was postponed. The nress secretary was asked specifically whether there had been any consideration of sum moning ur. raw uuuiey wnitc, Boston heart specialist who has been a consultant on the Eisenhow er case since the President's heart attack last Sept. 24. He said there had not been. In reply to another question, Hagerty said this is the first time Eisenhower has suffered such a "stomach upset" since last Sept. 24. That day, before the While House announced the President had suffered a heart attack, his aides characterized the ailment as a "digestive upset." Eisenhower attended Uio annual dinner of the White House News Photographers' Assn. Thursday night. The meal served to him was especially prepared by the hotel on instructions from Dr. Snyder. It differed from that served to other (jucsts chiefly in the absence of a rich soup and a sauce on a filet mignon. The President left the affair about 11:10 p.m. Ho appealed to enlov himself at the dinner, held at the Sheraton Park Hotel.

Danger cased all along the river from British Co-, lumbia to the ocean. Diko patrols were maintained, however, lest sodden embank ments give way before the reced ing but still-high waters. The Columbia and its tributaries in British Columbia continued to fall, and the cities of Creston and Trail, B. C, reported the worst of the danger over. The upper Columbia crest, mov ing downstream into eastern Washington, was expected to pass Trinidad, Wash., Friday, raising the river there slightly more than six inches.
