Get double your money back) I New Jobs Needed To Keep Pace with Bigger Labor Force Washington, May 9 (U.R) American business will have to spend $500 million a month to create enough new jobs to keep pace with the growing labor force, the U. S. Chamber of Commerce said today. It estimated that 50,000 new jobs must be created at 510.000 each every month to employ jobseekers. Citing the "important role" played by the businessman, the chamber said he is neither the governor nor director of the econ omy but is "thought" of more realistically as a "go-between agent." Emphasis Placed "He assembles manpower, ma terials and machinery and organ izes them into a productive unit catering to the free choice of his customers." it said. The chamber placed great em phasis on the government's role of encouraging business enter prise. "Government policy and the attitude of leading government officials," it said, "may be far more important in determining economic growth and progress than is commonly realized by government officials them selves ..."

Woods urged a one-year extension of federal rent controls today, say ing there would be an "intoler able rise" in rents if controls are permitted to lapse after June 30. Woods also said no relief is in sight for millions of low and middle-income families who "so desperately" need housing. He said most housing construction since the war has been priced to meet the needs of higher-income families. A few years ago, a test well proved there hi oil under the great Con tinental Shelf that extends out into the Gulf of Mexico, and although the well did not produce much, it started one of the most unusual and expensive drilling programs in history. So far, in the search for underwater oil, aerea drilling platforms have been built, similar to the one above, as far as 10 miles ofTshore and in water as much as 65 feet deep. They are set 00 tubular steel pilings driven 250 feet through the ocean's bottom, for they must be strong enough to withstand Gulf hurricanes. The story behind this operation is the story of risk. ..and of deter mination to do everything possible to find oil for the growing needs of motorists, farms and indutmcs. Each underwater field costs millions of dollars more than any of equal size drilled on land, and although oil has been found, not enough has been produced yet to repay more than small fraction of the costs. Meanwhile, the money being risked is creating many jobs, spread ing tti hundreds of large and small businesses ... and helping to keep our economy free, competitive and wrong. Tenth Family in Need of Fire Help Local Red Cross workers made a plea today for the help of another burned-out family in the community. This is the 10th family which has lost its entire belongings by homes burning this season. In this case, dishes, especially cups, saucers and plates, pillows, stoves of any kind, and beds are l,adly :icut Other household items, they added, could be used. Since the service has no way of storing supplies or equipment, and because there have been the largest number of such calls in the history of the service here, the help is especially needed, it was said. The workers stated they have tried to help every one of the families which have come to their attention. Response to the other calls have been gratifying, they said. However, more assist ance is now needed. Those having contributions are asked to call the Red Cross office, Medford 2-4405. Since storage facilities are not avail able they are asked to leave their telephone number or address, 30 the items may be picked up.

The story behind deepwater oil Governor Requests Oregonians to Eat More Turkey Salem, Ore., May g UJ!) Gov. Douglas McKay asked Ore gonians to eat more turkey to bolster one of Oregon's important industries. McKay aid Oregon's S10 mil lion turkey industry is in jeop ardy, with fresh turkeys retail ing for as little as 9 cents a pound. Said the governor: "In comparison with other meat prices we have known in the past 10 years, turkeys are about the best buy we have seen. I certainly do not intend to prescribe to anyone's diet but it seems to me that the big fowl constitute a bargain that the housewife, seeking cheap yet delicious food, would find hard to pass up." Recession Alarming McKay expressed alarm over what he called a recession in Oregon turkey business in recent vears. He said income has fal len from $19,218,000 in 1945 to $9,927,000 last year. In the same period Oregon s turkey popula tion fell from more than 3 mil lion to 1,593,000. McKay said he was speaking of meat birds, because in the mat ter of hatching stock Oregon is still holding an enviable posi tion. Free Beer Finally Solves Many Thefts Philadelphia (U.R) Knitting mill owners suspected more than moths lay behind the dis appearance of $2,500 worth of sweaters. Detectives found the sweaters had been disappearing in drib lets for nearly three months, but could not figure out how. They settled down to a policy of watchful waiting and were re warded when they stopped a man leaving the plant with a Dackage containing eight sweat ers. The "mystery" cleared up i then. He explained he and some j friends had been buying the j sweaters by trading beers to a thirsty night watchman. j The watchman, 61 -year -old James Rafferty, was charged with larceny and removed from further temptation. It has been estimated that pre historic Indians lived from about j 400 to 1400 A. D. in the area now j set aside as the Petrified Forest National monument in Arizona.
