about it worried business and
government alike this week.
It was disclosed that the num
ber of workers drawing unem
ployment compensation in the
week ended Jan. 7 totaled 3.289.-
000. This was an increase of 228,
900 in one week.
Secretary of Labor Arthur J.
Goldberg called the situation
"very grave."
He estimated the January over
all total of unemployed at 5.5 mil
lion, up one million from mid-December.
'There is deep concern about
the unemployment compensation
area and a strong feeling that
the government must extend
help," said Goldberg after con
ferring with President Kennedy.
Ihe president was expected to
outline his views on this subject
and to propose actions to stimul
ate the lagging economy in a spe
cial message to Congress.
Free Food Augmented
President Kennedy has ordered
increased distribution o surplus
food to Ihe needy. This will in

Wartime Nazi
Slayer Of Jews
In Law's Hands
NAILA, Germany (AP) Police
have announced the arrest of a
mechanic suspected of having
helped build the "gas vans" used
in Nazi Germany's wartime pro
gram to exterminate the Jews.
They said Harry Wentritt, 55,
was an engineering specialist in
the Berlin headquarters of the SS
Nazi Elite Guard.
According to testimony at the
Neurenberg war crimes trials, the
gas vans first were used in the
spring of 1942 behind the eastern
front. They looked like closed
trucks and were so constructed
that at the start of the motor, gas
was conducted into the van, caus
ing death in 10 to 15 minutes, wit
nesses then said.
Officials said they ' understood
an investigation of Wentritt was
based on documents located by
German prosecutor Erwin Schuele
during a recent visit to Washing
ton archives.
Schuele is the head of the Cen
tral German War Crimes Investi
gation Agency which coordinates
the efforts of the 10 West German
slates.
Wentritt has been living near
this Bavarian town under his real
name with his wife and two children.
invenlories of unsold products,
laid off many workers. This was
particularly true in the automo
bile industry, where production
was down substantially from late
I960 levels.
Auto output for the week was
an estimated 98.846. While this
was 4 per cent above the pre
vious week, it was 43 per cent
below a year ago. when the com
panies were making up for cut
backs resulting from the steel
siriKe.
Production schedules for the
balance of January and for Fe
bruary were reported being cut
to match a slow sales pape.
The steel industry made a little
labored progress in bolstering out
put. Production last week totaled
1,499.000 tons, compared with 1,-
482,000 the prior week.
Living Cost Still Rising
The Labor Department report
ed the cost of living climbed to
another new high in December
for the 10th increase in 11 months.
The department's consumer
price index advanced a tenth of
one per cent between November
and December to 127.3 per cent
of the 1947-49 level. Higher costs
of food and shelter were mainly
responsible.
Robert J. Meyers, deputy com
missioner of labor statistics,
made the drab prediction that
living costs will go up one or two
per cent this year.
Retail trade took a beating
from the weather this week. Snow
and cold in the Midwest and
Northeast caused volume to sink
six to 10 per cent below a year
ago. ,
Upturn Expectation Holds
Despite the spate of gloomy de
velopments, the expectation ap
peared growing among econo
mists and business men that busi
ness is headed for an upturn
about the middle of the year.
Many believe this would main
ly result from depletion of top
heavy inventories and from pump
priming actions of the new administration.
A stimulating indication was the
announcement that a huge vol
ume of construction contracts
awarded in December $2,717,
701,000 nudged the total for 1960
to a record high of $36,317,629,000.

Cuban Refugee Problem Slated For U.S. Inquiry
WASHINGTON (AP) Secre
tary of Welfare Abraham A. Rib
icoff, 'under orders from Presi
dent ' Kennedy, flew to Miami
today personally to examine
the problems of Cubans who have
fled the regime of Fidel Castro.
The President, tn a letter Fri
day directing Ribicoff to take
charge of the Cuban refugee prob
lem, said he wanted "to re-emphasize
most strongly the tradi
tion of the United States as a hu
manitarian sanctuary to those
who are 'exiles for conscience's
sake.'
"In the present troubled world."
Kennedy added, "we cannot be
a peacemaker if we are not also
the protector of those individuals
as well as nations who cast with
us their personal liberty and
hopes for the future."
An estimated 1,000 Cubans per
week have been fleeing the Cas
tro regime, with most of them ar
riving in Miami:
More than 100,000 have come
to the United States since Castro
ago. Since the majority left ev
erything behind when they fled
Cuba, the refugees have caused
a heavy burden on public and pri
vate welfare agencies. About 40,
000 have settled in Florida.
Former President Dwight D.
Eisenhower made available a
special fund of one million dol
lars to aid Cuban refugees and
designated Tracy S. Voorhies as
his personal representative to
study the situation.
Kennedy accepted Voorhies'
gratitude for his work.
The White House said Ribicoff
would spend three days in Miami
surveying the situation.
