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.

dens or the railroad, or'(2) a pri
vate purchaser in some way could
force the state to open a road onto
the highway. '
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.

into the White House car with her.
Major Eisenhower is stationed
at Ft. Belvoir, Va., south of Wash

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.
Hagerty showed up at the hos
pital a little later. He said he
would meet with the newsmen at
Walter Reed to keep them in

early Friday. 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

Boston heart specialist who has
been a consultant on the Eisenhow

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

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. He
told his hosts in a brief talk that
he also enjoyed the entertainment
provided.

Columbia River
Ebbing Slowly j
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Columbia River flood waters
continued Friday to ebb slowly
from high levels reached earlier
in the week. 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.
That crest is not expected to
cause any trouble downstream.
The lower Columbia crested ear
lier in the week, and the lower
channel is expected to handle the
water without incident.
