Million Jobless
Listed, Shanghai
Shanghai, Aug. 10 W) Shang
hai's unemployed total 1,000,
000 persons, the communist mili
tary control commission an
nounced today.
Of these 250,000 are indus
trial workers, 650,000 are "pau
pers" and the others are classi
fied by the communists as "land
owners, wealthy farmers and
lawless elements," who fled to
Shanghai from the interior and
are not employed.
Thus the city s unemployed
population numbers a sixth of
the city's population.
The commission said those
with homes elsewhere would be
sent to them.
Those without homes are to
be sent to north Kiangsu and
north Anhwei provinces to be
settled on new farm areas. Only
the destitute are to have their
transportation paid.
The announcement said "all
public bodies and charitable or
ganizations are requested to co
operate with the government to
carry out the plan."
The communists, who appear
to think the nationalist block
ade will last indefinitely, say
they hope ultimately to move
3,000,000 persons out of Shang
hai to farm areas to ease the
burden caused by the loss of sea
commerce.
Sears Building
Well Energized
Electric underground wiring
for the new Sears building on
the Capitol Shopping Center
could furnish service to a couple
of city blocks of the usual size,
according to Byron Simonson
president and general manager
of the Electric Corporation, 1270
Wilber street, which made the
connections.
This is sufficient to furnish
the establishment with 11,000
volts of energy. In the store are
installed 2000 feet of indirect
fluorescent strip lighting, which
are separate from 400 four-foot
fluorescent fixtures. There are
200 floor outlets for showcases
and other parts of the store
where electricity is used in vari
ous ways.
Electric Corporation has been
in business at its present loca
tion for three years.
