Reds Demand
Answer Time
NEW YORK. Aug. 23-WVThe
American communist party today
demanded radio time from the
American Broadcasting company
to answer an ABC documentary
aired early this month.
The ABC program was titled
"Communism U. S. Brand."
William Z. Foster, communist
chairman, said in a letter the
show "violated all standards of
honesty, simple fairness and ob
Jectiveness." He demainded that ABC "grant
us equal time, in the same spots,
to present a comparable program
which will permit those best
qualified to do so to tell the story
of 'communism U. S. Brand'.

a letter from Foster, and would
not comment until one has been
delivered.

A record high number of employes are expected to be at work

to reports from 796 representative employers as gathered by local

: 1 Increases of IX per cent in the number of employes between May
and .mid-July will ; be followed by further gains averaging Va per

the j predictions are accurate. With
the end of the harvest season, em
ployment in food processing and
other seasonal activities may drop
but this i wUl be offset partly by
holiday gains in trade, service and
related lines..

gon. Payrolls for the first half of
the year have not been completely
tabulated but Indicate a total of
about $436,000,000, well above the
same period last year, when aU
previous records were broken. The
total for 1948, commission officials
estimate, will run considerably
over $900,000,000, as compared to
$864,000,000 last year. $799,000,000
in 1944 and $2564)00.000 in 1940.
Employment prospects by main
industry include:
Construction 5teady increase
of 10 per cent since May will be
followed by further gains during
summer and early falL Skilled
craftsmen are in demand but
there is no shortage of unskilled ,
workers.
Food processing September
wiU be the peak month with at j
least 5,000 more jobs then in July.
110 firms predict. Last year's high
of 30,000 may be exceeded if
crops and prices prove up to ex
pectations. Lumber and logging August
and September employment ex
pec ted to be fully up to last year's
record-breaking employment fig

ment has been gaining, steadily
during the early summer months.
