Manufacturing
Unemployment
Shows Increase
Washington, June 17 ili'i The
labor department reported today
that employment In manufactur
ing industries fell off 320,000 be
tween mid-April and mid-May for
its eighth straight monthly de
cline. The department's bureau of la
bor statistics said that although
part of the decline could be at
tributed to labor disputes, "most
of the drop reflects seasonal com
traction of activity and a continu
ation of declining demand for a
substantial number of products."
Manufacturing payrolls on May
15, it said, totaled 15,017,000 a
drop of about 900,000 below May,
1948 and of 1,700,000 below the
postwar peak of last September.
May Grow Higher
The decline in manufacturing
employment caused total employ
ment in all non-agricultural Indus
tries to drop 282,000 between mid
pApril and mid-May. In connection
with these figures, the depart
ment noted that unemployment
increased by about 250,000 during
the month to a postwar high of 3,
289,000. Some government economists
believe the June unemployment
total may reach 4,000,000. It was
revealed earlier this week that the
administration is working on a
program to combat unemploy
ment if the number of jobless
reaches serious proportions.
President Truman declined to
discuss the program at his news
conference yesterday. He said he
does not believe the nation is un
dergoing any unemployment cri
sis and indicated he would reveal
any plans he has in his economic
report to congress next month.

Fish, Game Men
Opposed toCVA
Seattle, June 17 HB Fish and
game men of the western states
were on record today unanimous
ly opposed to a Columbia valley
authority or any authority that
would take away from the states
control of its game.
Members of the Western Asso
ciation of State Game and Fish
commissioners wound up their
convention here last night after
passing an anti-CVA resolution
yand electing A. A. O'Claire, Mon-
tana game director, president for
'1950.
Along with( the presidency,
O'Claire becomes host to next
year's meeting. He said today the
annual session probably will be
held at Lake McDonald in Glacier
national park.
C. A. Lockwood, Portland,
game director for Oregon, was
elected vice-president, and Ben
Glading, Los Angeles, Calif., was
named secretary.
Resolutions Adopted
The fish and game directors
adopted a number of other reso
lutions, including:.
Opposing any control of game
in national forests by other than
the states.
Indorsing the Dingle bill, which
would tax fishing tackle and
equipment similar to the present
tax on ammunition, with revenue
earmarked for fisheries improve
ment Asking the federal government
to keep sheep fences off Wyom
ing ranges to permit free migra
tion of the nation's finest ante
lope herd.
Opposed levying fees on sports
men using recreational areas
within the national forests.
Asking the department of inter
ior to offer another solution than
the draining of marshes in Cali
fornia's San Joaquin valley.
Asking congress to remove the
20 per cent luxury tax on furs,
which are a source of revenue
to all western game departments:
Rare Persian
Gold Brought
To America
Chicago HP A royal treasure
of Persian gold from the period
500 B. C. has been bought by the
University of Chicago's Oriental
institute.
University officials said the
valuable collection was bought
from a European art collector for
an undisclosed price. It is the only
collection of its type in the west
ern hemisphere.
Thorkild Jacobsen, director of
the Oriental institute, said the
treasure consists of 53 separate
pieces of gold, each exquisitely
carved. He said It is an example
of the art of the last oriental em
pire before Greece and Rome took
pver cultural leadership.
It is from the period of the
Emperors Darius a)ci Xerxes and
survived the looting and plunder
ing by soldiers in the time of Al
exander the Great.
As Good as Today
Intricately designed, the gold
medallions are believed to have
been adornments for the vesture
of royal personages. They are the
work of Persian goldsmiths and
Jacobsen said they rank in crafts
manship with what the finest
modern jewelers could do today
with improved tools and micro
scopes. He said the treasure represents
an art supported by unlimited
wealth.
How the gold survived the last
2,500 years is supposition. But his
torians believe that some Persian
prince, fleeing from Alexander's
men, may have buried the treas
ure for safekeeping.
One piece is a complete neck
lace consrstine of 8 separate piec
es 20 lion heads, 53 granulated
beads and 23 other beads made of
two parts.
ine most prized single piece is
a four-inch winged and horned
lion. The ribs, muscles and feath
ers are chiseled to form the body.
Experts said it is a rare piece of
relief art work, the lion having
been cut away from the medallion
by hand.
The university said a micro
scopic examination showed that
small rings on the back of the
medallions, for the purpose of
sewing the medallions to clothing,
had been soldered with the same
quality of gold as the jewelry.
DENIES CONNECTION
Klamath Kails, June 17 Ul'i C.
E. (Red) Milhorn, Klamath Falls
policeman, today denied any con

Milhorn was held here for Sis

was near Eugene, Ore., at the
time of the Incident," he said. "I
was in a logging business with a
partner." ,
His attorney, E. E. Driscoll, said
he didn't think his client would
I waive extradition. "I want to see
if they have a case against him,"
he said.
TALKS HIS WAY OUT
San Francisco u A motorist
I here ran afoul of the law but
managed to talk his way out of
trouble. After crashing into a
motorcycle policeman, the driver
pleaded "temporary sun-blindness."
He was not held but the
officer was hospitalized with a
fractured collarbone.

Executive Shoots
Former Marine
Chicago, June 17 Ul'i Former
marine captain was snot early
today by a wealthy executive who
claimed he fired in self-defense
when the victim picked up a knife
and said "I slit 29 throats on Sai
pan and now I'm going to slit
vours."
Carl A. Moore. 50, general man
ager of the Lavan Smelting com
pany, admitted that he shot Rob
ert E. McCall, 41, also a Lavan
executive.
McCall was shot in the abdo
men. He was taken to a hospital
where attendants said his condi
tion was critical.
The shooting occurred -in
Moore's luxuriously furnished
home in Beverly Hills, a southside
suburb, after the men had spent
several hours drinking together.
Moore said McCall threatened
him with a butcher knife in a jeal
ous rage out of apparent love for
Moore s wife, Florence, owner 01
a swanky lake shore drive dress
shop.
Assistant state's attorney John
Long said there was "no love tri
angle" involved in the case, how
ever, since Moore has no interesst
in his former wife.
McCall, Long said, apparently
acted in a mistaken belief that
Moore planned to remarry her.
The Moores were divorced in
February, 1948. At that time,
Moore gave her a $26,000 proper
ty settlement.
