Asia Tensions Ease, Military Leaders Sav By ROBERT EUNSON TOKYO (ffl Informed military sources disclosed Wednesday the inaocmna crisis had thrown Amer ican forces on the alert in the Pa cific against an explosive outbreak of World War III but they said the danger point was passed three weeks ago. . Since then, tensions have eased markedly, the sources said. But they pictured Russia, with 3o army divisions and 700 jet Domners poised in the Far East as capable of mounting a massive attack on Japan. The advent of summer with thaws and mud probably has cut down Russian mobility in Siberia., they said. .: , me military ' tension obviously was tied in with diplomatic deci sions under debate in Washington ana other world capitals over the French crisis in todochina. A . decision to intervene, the sources said, could have reopened the shooting war hi Korea and possibly touched off Russian at tacks on Japan, the cornerstone to control of the Pacific. With the : threat of war eased. the sources reported military com manders studying redeployment of Allied ground forces in the Pacific There was speculation that the six U. S. divisions would.be pulled out of Korea in time, leaving 20 South Korean divisions to guard the truce line. U. S. commanders long have shown concern over tie- ing down so much American ground strength in the line in Ko rea. ' Plans also are under considera tion to pull the U. S. 1st Cavalry Division out of Hokkaido, leaving . . . 5 . Japanese xorces to guara ine main island closest to Russia. Japan is building up her ground forces to six. divisions under an accelerated defense program. Unemployment Fails to Take Usual Rise By STERLING F. GREEN WASHINGTON () Nearly a million more Americans held jobs in June than a month earlier, the government reported Wednesday, and unemployment held virtually stable instead of taking its usual sharp June rise. . Total employment climbed to 62, 098,000, the highest level since last ' October but still about a million below the record for June achieved a year ago. Secretary of Labor Mitchell and Secretary of Com merce Weeks announced. The cheering news on the unem- , ployment side was that joblessness, at 3,347.000 persons, increased only K.OQQ irom May, despite the re lease of large numbers of students into the market for jobs. This was the smallest increase for June in the last 15 years. Even in 1944. at the height of war production acti vity, unemployment increased 150, 000 in June. Students Added On the government's books, an unemployed person is defined as a person out of a job and looking for a job. A student in school is not classified as. unemployed, but when summer vacation comes and he starts looking for a job, he is added to the unemployment total until he Ends work. Thus the totals for unemployment and employment . can ootn increase at the same time. - - The cabinet officers, in a ioint statement carrying findings of the census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, reported "an up swing of employment in agricul ture, ana to a lesser extent on non farm payrolls. Factories Unchanged In the nation's factories, where the 11 months old business slumn nit naraest, employment remained unchanged from May to June -at 15.800.000. In the plants makine au- tos, home appliances and other durables, there was a further de cline of 64,000 workers, but this was offset by the seasonal rise in soft goods employment textiles. clothing, shoes, leather and similar industries. - Farm hiring accounted for the bulk of the substantial gain from May s total of 61,119.000 employes. Nearly 800,000 more workers held farming jobs than in the previous month. . . . Construction Booming But there also were gains in the booming construction1 industry,' in food processing, and other seasonal industries. "After allowances for seasonal factors, -the downtrend in non-farm employment appeared almost com pletely halted in June, although the level was 1.800.000 under the peak for the month attained last year." the secretaries said. . At this leveling-off point the un employment rate for the country's 65,445,000 civilian workers re mained at 5.1 per cent ; , Wednesday's figures represented findings as to the fore part of June; the announcement said that as the month progressed "there was a further easing of unemploy- ment among adult workers" not shown in the report.

Heltzel, public utilities commissioner, as defendant in the suit, ... ' . The r railroad charged that the commission exceeded its authority in ordering the installation. It said the cost of installing the signals should be shared by the city be cause the signals will provide functions not related te increas ing safety. v ,"" v The commission's . order was made under a 1907 state. law' which gave the state authority to require railroads to erect signals at dangerous crossings. ' In its complaint, the railroad charged that -the law was misin tcrpretated by the commission. It said t that much of the danger which - exists at ; the crossings is caused by factors which the rail road is unable to change, such as road gradients and buildings which obscure the view, and that the railroad should therefore have to pay only part of the cost of put ting up signals. '-. r Many of the t crossings where signals were ordered are along Twelfth -Street where railroad tracks run along the city street The railroad has been instructed tc put up signals at 12 of its 15 downtown crossings. The PUC order came last April after a several-days c hearing ' in which the city of Salem officials presented evidence and witnesses designed to show the necessity of additional signalization at the crossings. .The matter has been one of out-standing controversy be tween the railroad and Salem res idents..
