Predicts Unemployment Rise By DAYTON MOORE Catted Pml Staff Correspondent Washington up) Leon h. Keyserling, top economist in the -Truman administration, predicted Wednesday that unemployment will increase 'greatly this year. The former chairman of Mr. Truman's Council of Economic Advisers took issue with President Eisenhower's recent optimistic re- Politics Said Major Factor In Korea War WASHINGTON W Senate in vestigators said " Tuesday five American commanders believe f political considerations were per mitted to overrule military neces sities" in the U. N. struggle for victory in Korea. In reporting on Its long study of why the United Nations failed to beat the North Korean and Chi nese Communists decisively, the Senate internal security subcom mittee suggested that the reasons be kept, in mind in developing Formosa policy. v A Its unanimous report was based on testimony taken from Gens. Mark Clark and James A. Van Fleet. Adm. Charles T. Joy, and Lt. Gens. George E. Stratemeyer and Edmond M. Almond in a ser ies of public hearings last year. All five held senior commands in the Korean theater at one time or another. ' j Testimony of th; commanders, the subcommittee . said, showed they thought victory in Korea was "possible and desirable," and that the means to achieve it would not have resulted in World War IHf The investigators reported that another conclusion drawn by the officers, all of whom are now5 re tired, was that "failure to win in Korea has jeopardized our position In the Far East". ' s The subcommittee recommend ed that the record of its hearings be brought at once to the attention of the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services Committees, which are considering President Eisenhower's request for support of his fight-if-we-must policy in the Formosa Strait All five commanders believed' that .possible subversion at home was eamong the factors which de nied them victory, the report stat ed. It said the officers "supplied some clues to possible subversion in government departments but were unable to make specific charges. ! port which was highlighted by a forecast of "a high and satisfac tory level of employment and pro duction within the current year." Keyserling told the Joint Con gressional Economic 'Committee prospects are the 1955 gain in pro duction will be only about 3 per cent, half of the increase required to, sustain a high level of employ ment. "With automation and technology on the march," he said, "hard core unemployment is bound to in crease greatly well within 1955 un less the economy .expands more rapidly than any current signs now indicate." . The CIO also charged Mr. Eisen hower with "fallacious reasoning." "When some economic analysts see neither depression nor inflation in sight, they conclude the econ omy is healthy," Stanley H. Rut- tenberg, CIO economist, said. "The economy still lags behind the levels necessary to promote maximum employment, production and purchasing power." Keyserling expressed doubt that the rate of the recent business up turn can be maintained throughout 1955. Production of new models of autos earlier than usual was a major factor in the recent upturn, he said. As to the importance of this factor, he agreed with business re ports issued Tuesday night by the Commerce Department and Fed era! Reserve Board. Both reported business was good last month with the upward trend continuing into this month. They did not make any longer range pre dictions. Costa Rican Rebels Jailed " - - ' ' !

W Ira Hayes, the tragic Indian Marine, will rest in Arlington Cemetery among a host of other heroic Americans. The Marine Corps announced in Phoenix Tuesday that the Iwa Jima flagraiser's body will be in terred in the military burial gound at Washington, D. C. It will lie not far from the re cently dedicated Marine war mem orial, surmounted by the figures of the six Marines who raised the Stars and Stripes atop Mt Suri- bachi when United States forces defeated the Japanese there - in 1945. Hayes, 32, was found dead Mon day on his native Pima Indian Reservation. He had died of ex posure and drinking too much al cohol. Funeral services will be con ducted in the Vah-Ki Presbyterian Church at Casa Blanca near the Home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe E. Hayes, at a time yet to be announced. Hayes lonely death ended a tor mented existence for the ex-ma rine. He couldn't find his place in the everyday world and wandered from his reservation home and back again. h He tried to work in some of nation's big cities but liquor al ways tripped him. Since the war he .ha"d been arrested 49 times in Phoenix for drunkenness. Hayes went to Washington last November for the Marine mem orial dedication and then came home to the reservation for the last time. RODENT CONTROLLER NAMED PORTLAND (UP) - G.

Feb. 8 For Far East LONG BEACH. Calif. tf Three heavy cruisers and eight destroy ers are scheduled to leave Los Angeles - Long Beach harbor Feb. 8 for Far Eastern waters, the Navy said Tuesday night. The vessels would help to make the 7th Fleet in Formosan waters a formidable aggregation, indeed, but a Navy officer denied that this is an emergency or reinforcement move. Rear Adm. Roland N. Smoot, commander, Mine Force Pacific and senior officer afloat here, said: - "This is not necessarily rein forcement, nor is it incident to anything which -has occurred re cently. It is a routine rotation, planned and scheduled for months." He said that the occasion - of the sailings, in fact will be used for a Navy exercise, an "opposed sortie" in which he will command a mock enemy opposing the de parture. The ships scheduled to sail are the cruisers Los Angeles, - Roches ter and Baltimore, and the de stroyers Mansfield. De ' Haven, sole. Kiebee and Shelton. ' The Baltimore is due here Wed nesday, along with eight destroy ers. They are part of 33 ships be ing transferred ' from the East , to the West Coast Thirteen arrived previously, with 11 to follow. Statesman, Satan, Oregon, Thura Jan. 27, 195S-Sec l-7 Bonneville Dam Spillway Repairs Near Completion PORTLAND (J) -Repairs on the Bonneville Dam spillway and still ing basin will be completed before the annual Columbia River freshet in spring, Army Engineers said Tuesday. Most of the repair was on the giant concrete baffles below the spillway. They have been pounded by downrushing water through the past 17 years. . There was some destruction, but the baffles withstood the battering better than the dam-builders' had expected, Col. James U. Moorhead, district engineer, said. The original expectation was that the baffles would need restoration after 15 years, he said. These lasted 17 years, and the expectation now is that they can go an even longer period next time. The repairs themselves will be completed Jan. 28, and removal of the cofferdams around the baffles will follow. That will take another six weeks.
