Headlines about unemployment

Detroit and
New Bedford
have made de

ing. Events,
however, are
sometimes
mora import
ant than sta
tistics. I, for
one have been greatly encour
aged by the recent withdrawal
of President Truman from the
race. My more optimistic feeling
comes from the fact that a num
ber of the other contestants for
the Presidency are more con
servative than Is Mr. Truman.
And a more conservative out
look 1 whatiWe need to encour
age capital Investment, which
la the source of all jobs.
According to the U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics, there has
been a decline In employement In
such Industries as clothing, food,
lumber and textiles. In the cloth
ing Industry there are about
60,000 fewer jobs today than a
year ago. Likewise, there are
about 65,000 fewer food jobs, 20,
000 fewer lumber, and 75,000
fewer textile jobs.
The answer to the unemployed
worker In a consumer-goods in
dustry Is a Job In a defense In
dustry. By late 1952, It may be
difficult indeed for the consumer-goods
Industry to find lald-off
workers. They may have been
snapped up by defense industries
and paid wages that consumer
foods companies will find diffi
cult to meet.
Beit Bels for Jobs
In Defense Industrie
Best job bets for 1952 will be
In the defense industries, al
though, In the long run, more
secure employment is to be
found in consumer-goods indus
tries. The production jobs today
on the increase are in such in
dustries as heavy machinery,
metals, chemicals, and paper
to mention a few. For example,
there are today 200,000 more
jobs in machinery plants than
there were a year ago, about 100,-

The college senior with a me
chanical or electrical engineer
ing degree is In very short sup
ply now and can, therefore, al
most write his own contractl A
recent survey of 125 companies
reveals they will offer beginning
engineers salaries ranging from
$225 to $500. Manufacturing
companies expect to hire more
non-technical college graduates
this year than last with starting
salaries ranging from $300 per
month upwards. Best bets for
the non-technical graduate will
be in the accounting and manu
facturing fields. Salaries for the
college senior in 1952 will be
about 10 higher than those
offered to the 1051 graduates!
Increase In Earnings
Should Increase Savings
What does this picture mean
to the United States? Actually,
there Is a boom today In certain
Jobs compared with the boom in
stocks of 1929. Employment is
high. Savings are above normal.
Wages may rise another $15
billion, from $165 billion this
year to about $180 billion next.
After increased taxes, this could
mean about an $8 billion increase
in people s earnings, and should
further increase savings. The
cost - of - living, however, has
reached present highs because
most people are doing as little
work as possible for their cur
rent high wages.
We are experiencing' a "wage
workers' prosperity;" but some
day this wage bubble will burst
as have the stork market bubbles
Expert on Burns
Frostbite Check
San Antonio, Tex. U.F9 Dr.
Karl Eric Hogeman, a Swedish
surgeon who specializes in the
treatment of burns, is traveling
across the United States check
ing on something that sounds en
tirely different but isn't frost
bite. .Frostbite and burns are closely
allied. Both are injuries of the
skin caused by extremes in tem
perature. Some Connection
"I have long had an Idea that
there is some connection be
tween them," Dr. Hogeman said.
"On my trip to this country, I
am talking with specialists in
both conditions to learn what I
can about them."
Dr. Hogeman, while in San
Antonio, conferred with Lt. Col
Robert B. Lewis at the Air Force
school of aviation medicine in
San Antonio.
Col. Lewis, head of the depart
ment of pathology at the school,
won the Wellcome military medi
cine award last year for his re
search on fast-warming of frost
bitten flesh. Dr. Hogeman want
ed to take a bit of his findings
back to Sweden.
Plastic Surgeon
A plastic surgeon with a pri
vate practice in Stockholm, Dr.
Hogeman joined the University
of Lund in Malmo, where he is
opening a center for the treat
ment of skin injuries.
Hfe visit to the United States
is something of a first-aid mis
sion. In case of war, in which
it is entirely possible that Swe
den will have an atomic attack,
Dr. Hogeman and his assistants
want to be well-briefed on skin
injuries resulting from radiation
burns.
Adelaide, Australia (U.R) A

of the train was hauled off at
the next stop and arrested for

of the past. Americans should
realize this and begin to save for
the rainy day. The wage earner
ought to plan to buy a little life
insurance, then purchase a home,
and build up savings accounts.
There never was a better time
for the graduate of any school or
college to get started on a job.
Business and government des
perately need men who can
think, who have learned how to
get along with people, and who
nave such character trails as
faith, integrity, self-relance, In
itiative, drive, and good health.
But young people must do much
better work than they are now
doing in order to hold their jobs
when business again declines.
However, as I said above, I am
feeling more optimistic now be
cause there is a chance that the
political pendulum may be
swinging toward common sense,
away from nonsense!
Spain Seen Valuable Ally
Because of Anti-Red Stand
Dublin (U.PJ An Irish dele
gate who called on the Council
of Europe to support Spanish
membership In Western defense
has repeated bis urgent advice
to the West that Spain would be
a valuable ally because lt Is
"overwhelmingly antl - Commu
nist." Former Senator James Cros
bie renewed his warnings given
at the last session in Strasbourg
of the European Consulative As
sembly In an interview with the
United Press.
He noted that amongst the so
cialist representatives at the
Council of Europe there was a
distinct hostility towards Span
ish participation in Western de
fense plans.
Asked for his attitude towards
Spain's proper role, Crosble
said:
Surely It is perfectly obvious
that Spain Is overwhelmingly
anti-Communist and has given
every indication that she is pre
pared to suppress Communism
within her own frontiers, and
also to resist Communist aggres
sion from outside."
Socialists Hostile
He added: "It therefore would
appear to be improvident for the
rest of free Europe to spurn the
political, economic and military
support of Spain."
Discussing the general atti
tude towards Spain at the as
sembly meetings, Crosbie
stressed that "amongst the so
cialist representatives at the
Council of Europe there was a
distinct hostility towards Span
ish participation In Western de
fense." Explaining their attitude,
Crosbie went on: "This may
arise from the remains of bitter
feelings on the Spanish civil
war and perhaps also from a cer
tain amount of misunderstand
ing of the Spanish problems and
the difficulties which face the
present regime within Spain.
"It is admitted that under the
terms of the statute of the j
Council of Europe, Spain does i
not qualify for membership. But
the question would seem to be,
therefore: Should the rest of
Europe lose a valuable ally for
the sake of mere formula in gov
ernmental machinery?
Suggests War Out
"A way out of this Impasse
could possibly be reached if the
Franco government were to rati
fy and put into effect the Coun
cil of Europe's convention of hu
man rights.
"When we talk of democratic
government it must be realized
that the forms of democracy
which exist in those countries
constituting the Council of Eu
rope did not always exist and In
given cases only grew up after
centuries of struggle and en
deavor. "A case In point would be

struggle started with Magna
Charta and continued until the
