ployment will jump considerably
this' month and next, mainly be
cause of seasonal factors, and
possibly top the 1954 peak of
3,725,000 jobless, government
economists predict.
The number of unemployed
probably will climb by 750,000
persons between December and
February, they said. That would
bring the total to around 3,500,-
000. They added that the ranks
of jobless might be swelled. by
1,000,000 persons, and raise the
total to about 3,800,000.
Express No Alarm
However, these economists ex
pressed no alarm. In citing sea
sonal factors for the indicated
increase, they said unemploy
ment usually reaches its peak
in the first two months of the
year. "Winter lulls in construc
tion, mining, farming and the
post-Christmas doldrums in many
factories, transportation, and
trade cause the jobless increase.
President Eisenhower told
Congress last week that the 1955
economic outlook is good.
There have been general predic
tions that business will pick up
in 1955 over 1954 levels.
Automobile production is get

not think the industry can keep
up the current high production

$64,000,000 Sought
The annual March of Dimes
drive, which will be climaxed
on January 31 with the Mothers'
March; seeks to raise $64,000,000
in the nation to care for an esti
mated 94,000 past, present and
1955 victims of polio.
- Big share of the funds will go
toward costs of hospital, medi
cal and rehabilitation care of
patients. V .
However, $9,000,000 will be
set aside for the purchase of a
standby supply of the new Salk
vaccine now being evaluated at
the University of Michigan.
Thousands of school children
took part in nationwide testing
of the Salk vaccine last spring.
If it proves effective, it will be
licensed by the biologists control
laboratory of the National Insti
tutes of Health. -Supply
To Be Available
When the go-ahead comes, the
National . Foundation plans to
make its supply, available to all
first and second graders in pub

in the United States plus all
children through the fourth
grade in the 1954 vaccine field

"While the Foundation tells
us that possibly 18,000.000 chil
dren may receive protection next
spring, there are approximately
48,000,000 children under the
age of 15. So new cases must
be expected in 1955," Smith
said.

Air Force Officer Donates
$25,000 To Japanese Kids
San Francisco (U.PJ Think
of it an Air Force captain with
$25,000!
More than that, he donated
the money to charity.
The officer, Capt. Cullen W.
Irish II, leaves for Japan today
where he will "have the pleas
ure" of watching t Japanese or
phans benefit from these dol
lars. '
He gave the money to the
children of two orphanages .as
a gesture of international good
will. .Won Money in Contest
'Actually, Irish and his wife,
Desse, had twice that amount,
money they won in a contest
sponsored by an automobile
manufacturer. ,
Just one year ago Irish re
turned from a tour of duty in
Japan as a provost ' marshal.
They visited 'a Vallejo, Calif.,
auto agency to buy a new car
and while there Mrs. Irish filled
out a contest blank and dropped
it in a box.
The couple moved to Otis Air
Force base, Mass. Six months
later they received a telephone
call from a representative of the
Own Contracts O
NO
309 EAST MAIN - Modford'.
auto firm telling them they had
won $50,000 to be donated to
any charity of their choice. T
They gave $10,000 to the Air
Force Aid society; $10,000 to
the Chico State Medical school
in the name of Irish's father, a
retired Army doctor now prac
ticing medicine in Los Angeles,
and $5000 to the Veterans of
Foreign Wars Home for Chil
dren at Eaton Rapids, Mich.
To Help Japanese
' The remaining $25,000, they
decided, should be used to "help
maintain the maximum .friendly
relations with the - Japanese
people."
This is important, Irish said,
because he and his wife had
learned to admire and respect
the Japanese for their "friendli
ness, honesty and industry.".
: '. The couple conferred with the
State Department and Japanese
diplomats in Washington, then
agreed to give the money to two
orphanages in Japan with CARE
as administrator of the fund.
Then Irish requested and was
granted a new - assignment . in
Japan "so I can have the pleas
ure of watching the money be
ing spent.".'
