Decline in Number of Employers Coming Under Compensation Law Salem, Ore., June 15 (U.R) For the first time since the war there has been a decline in the number of employers subject to the unemployment compensation law, the state unemployment compensation commission said today. There was a slight recover In recent weeks, but about 700 few er firms were on the commis sion's books early this month than one year bko. Responsibility Placed A large part of the decline In new registrations and a material rise in exemptions because of 1949 1 e g i s 1 a tive amendments probably was responsible for the major part of the decrease, the commission said an analysis showed. Some of the decline came from a rise in liquidations and consolidations. Liable reporting units June 1 were 16,075 or about 6,000 more than the pre-1945 average. Firm openings during the first five months of 1950 numbered 1,404, as compared "with 1,751 for the same period In 1949. In addition to this decline of 347 in new registrations, the number of concerns exempted from cover age was 170 greater than for the same period a year ago. Other Changes Officials said other changes in status also may have been brought about by the recent leg islative action, but it is difficult to estimate the full effect of re quiring contributions only from EGG PRODUCER TRIANGLE MUING CO.

The lumber and construction fields accounted for more than half of recent voluntary closings or liquidations. Registration rises continued from the last months of the war until late in 194B, when a peak near 17,000 was hit. There was a drop early last year, but the number regained ground last summer and early fall. There was another drop last winter because of seasonal de clines and with the new year ex emptions period and the amend ments, but subject firms still re main nearly 60 per cent above the prewar and wartime levels.

SEE YOUR ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR On New Fighters Washington, June 15 U.R) The air force begins extensive tests this week on three new jet "penetration" fighters to deter mine the best one for attacking deep in enemy territory. The planes are the McDonnell XF-88. the Lockheed XF-90 and the North American YF-93A. a modification of the "sabre" which holds a world's speed rec ord of 670 miles an hour. Powerful Punch Sought The air force is striving to de veloD a fighter, packing a pow erful punch that can fly 1,000 miles or more inio enemy ter ritory to attack both aircraft and ground targets. The latest version of the F-84E "thunderjet" has a 1,000-mile combat radius when two 230 gallon gas tanks are added. But the air force wants to get this "penetration" without using wing tanks. Comparative tests on the three experimental fighters at Ed wards Air Base, tvluroc, Cal., will last about three weeks. Each al ready has made successful flights individually. Range Considered Factors to be considered In clude range, speed, maneuvera bility, rate of climb, distance re quired to takeoff and land, oper ating ceiling, and stability and control characteristics in flight. Cockpit design including pilot comfort, and modification possi bilities also will be consdered. All three planes, larger than present jet fighters, have swept back wings and speeds close to that of sound. Designed speeds are secret, but have been esti mated from between more than 600 to more than 700 miles an hour, depending upon altitude. The XI- -88 and XF-90 are about the size of twin-engine transports. Each has two J-.f4 turbojet en gines and a takeoff weight of 30, 000 pounds. The YF-93A is larger and more powerful than its predecessor, the all-purpose sabre. Youths Plead Innocent In Redding Murders Redding. Cal..

Central l VIRGINIA United Press Hollywood, Jane 15 (U.R) Ann Sheridan, who's been sec retly sponsoring a "skid row" boys' club since 194 7, came out in the open today to fight Los An geles' current "rat pack" hys teria. "Have to," t h e beauteous redhead said. "We're broke. All this news about 'teen-age Virginia. attacks has bePherwa chop ped off our donations. "Nobody wants to give money to boys they think are sneaking up on people in the dark." A wave of 'teen-aged gang ter rorism has been responsible re cently for a scries of robberies and beatings, characterized by the newspapers as "rat pack" at tacks. For three years Annie's been shelling out money, food, tele vision sets, clothes, and jobs to Mickey Finn's youth clubs. Finn, a handsome, 27-year-old police man, has a local ' Boys Town" set-up in the heart of downtown skidrow. "And the kids are crazy about her." he said. "They know she really cares about 'em. We've had other movie stars down there. They make big promises but that's the last we ever hear of 'em." Most of Finn's contributions have been dribbling in from businessmen and civic groups who think it's a good idea to keep underprivileged kids out of tangles with the law. "But the rat packs cut those off but good." Finn sighed. 'Now we've got nobody but Annie." Siie and Finn round up kids from the town's toughest districts for club meeting? on the top floor of an old business building. 'When we first started we had nothin'," Finn said. "Then Annie heard about it. She said she'd like to come down. I didn't pay any attention to that. I'd heard it from those movie stars be fore." "B u t darned if she doesn't show up. Not in mink and satin like those others. She had on a skirt and sweater. "Then she started talking to the kids ... in their own lan guage. Before long they were MacPHIRSON Cerrtip.adtnl telling her stuff they'd never even told me." For three years Annie kept her checkbook open and her pretty mouth shut. Press agents had strict orders to do likewise about the Finn club. "But I finally convinced her she had to talk about it," Finn said. "The boys need the dona tions her name would bring in." Mayor Asks Aid Of Citizens on Fireworks Safety Stressing that Medford has be come more densely populated and that fire risks are greater. Mayor Diamond Flynn has called upon residents to observe the ex isting ordinance concerning use of firecrackers inside the city limits. Asks Cooperation Flynn said he would like the cooperation of all the people in curbing flagrant abuse, rather than having to call upon city en forcement departments. Viola tion of the ordinance, he stated, throws an extreme strain upon police and firemen. He brought out the possibilities of loss of life and property. The mayor reported that many complaints come from people who are ill or of nervous tem perament and asked for consid eration of their feelings. It is the duty of every citizen to cooperate in refraining from bringing firecrackers into the city, Flynn declared. New Service Station Opening in Jacksonville Jacksonville.
