Commie Editor
Ends Sentence
New York, July 2 W) John
W. 'Gates, editor of the Daily
Worker, was released from jail
early today after serving a 30
day sentence for contempt of
court at the communist con
spiracy trial.
Some 40 demonstrators gath
ered in front of the federal
house of detention at 7 a. m. to
greet Gates only to learn that
he had been released shortly af
ter midnight. The demonstration
was planned by the Civil Rights
Congress.
Three other defendants, also
cited for contempt, have been
sentenced to jail for the dura
tion of the trial.
Gates, however, returned to
the detention building at 6:45
to be present at the wel
come demonstration.
Inside the building, three
other defendants, also cited for
contempt, gazed through the
mesh and barred windows at the
proceedings outside. The three
were jailed for the duration of
the trial.
Gates waxed indignant over
the early hour he was freed.
It's a dirty trick to avoid a
demonstration," he told news
men.
Gates was hoisted to the
shoulders of several marchers
and paraded across the street
from the prison.
The marchers carried placards
which read, "Welcome Johnny
Gates." The placards also de
manded the release of the other
jailed defendants.

Firecrackers
Aroused Cops
There's nothing like putting
a firecracker under the cops to
get 'em into action. Douglas
Heider, 260 W. Ewald, can tes
tify to the truth of that today.
In the wee hours of Saturday
morning, a car slowed down in
front of the Salem police quar
ters, and a package of crackers
was tossed out. Two startled
foot patrolmen watched helpless
ly as the car sped north on High
street.
But at that moment, a detect
ive in a prowl car spotted the in
cident from Chemeketa street,
and he gave chase. The fleeing
auto raced through a flashing
red light at North High and Cen
ter and turned east, but the de
tective managed to jot down the
license number.
The 1949 model car eluded the
officer, but it was found parked
behind the Greyhound bus de
pot a few minutes later. Inside,
evidence of firecrackers -was
found, so police established a
watch.
At 3:00 a. m. Heider returned
to his car, and he was arrested
for reckless driving and shooting
fireworks in a city zone where
such action is outlawed.
He was fined $50 in police
court on the driving charge, but
the firecracker shooting charge
was continued.

Employment
Above Last Year
Washington, July 2 (U.R) Juno
employment statistics were more
encouraging than expected, giv
ing rise today to some optimism
among business and government
experts alike.
Three facts stood out in the
census bureau s survey of the
labor force:
1. The number of jobless hit
a seven-year high of 3,778,000,
but this compared with a predic
tion of 4,000,000.
2. Non-agricultural employ
ment showed a slight increase
after a six-month downward
trend.
3. Actual employment was
above last year and had absorb
ed about two-thirds of the 1,400,
000 high school and college
youths who traditionally choke
the labor market at this time of
the year.
Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney,
(D-Wyo), chairman of the joint
congressional committee on the
economic report, was one of the
first to become optimistic about
the June employment statistics
after the census bureau announc
ed them yesterday.
He said on the senate floor
that "there are coming from va
rious quarters indications that
the decline in prices has now
reached a level bringing in new
demands which will, in turn.
have the effect of halting unem
ployment trends which appeared
earlier in the year. At least, it is
to be hoped so."

stayed on the job until the corn

After the war, Dimitrov re
turned to his native country and
became premier with the bless
