EATON United Press Correspondent Washington W Govern ment economists predicted today that close to four million Ameri cans will be out of work by the end of February. Labor Department forecasters aid one reason unemployment may shoot well beyond the pres ent 2,500,000 jobless figure is be cause of the warning boom In industrial expansion. AFL-CIO President George Meany, Indicating labor's concern over the job outlook, called on President Eisenhower to take immediate steps to bolster the nation's economy. In Seattle, top organizers of the Teamsters Union met to "dis cuss the unemployment situation which is increasing all across the country. Outgoing Teamsters President Dave Beck said today's meeting was one of a series called by him over the country's economic condition. Farm Research Is Beneficial To All, Magazine Claims Washington M The Agricul , tural Research Service (ARS) says in an editorial in the No vember issue of its monthly bul letin that agricultural research has benefitted everyone farm ers and consumers in work done primarily for farmers. "Sure, agricultural research is done for farmers," ARS said. "But it benefits them only when it helps to meet the needs and preferences of consumers. . ." , The service said Agricultural research has benefitted farmers "by shortening their work-day and lightening their labors" and has helped increase their pur chasing power. "It has elevated the dignity of farming, given farm young peo ple better educational, social, and business opportunities," it add ed. "All this farm progress has. benefitted the whole country. Farm labor has been released for producing other kinds of goods and services. To Meet A Demand "Our urban industrial econo my, with its high standard of liv ing, could never have come about except for the research develop ment of an efficient, technical, and specialized system of produc ing and marketing our farm and forest products." ARS said improvements in ag riculture just don't happen, but result from research undertaken because farmers and consumers want something better. To a large extent, it said, consumers' needs and preferences set the course and encourage farmers to apply the results. ARS pinpointed one commod ity which is now available year round because of research. "We eat lettuce without a thought," it said. "But year round lettuce took plenty of thought by scientists. Plant breeders had. to find out ways to develop disease-resistant vari eties. Other scientists had to find out ways of growing lettuce ef ficiently in both winter-crop and summer-crop areas. And they had to leam how to keep lettuce during long hauls to markets." ARS said the same can be said of nearly everything 'Amer icans eat. NETTING CONTRIBUTIONS Black Creek, Ont. (IP) A novel system of taking collec tions marked boat-blessing cere monies here. At the conclusion of the services, three outboard motorboats maneuvered among the craft nibored near shore. Aboard each boat a man held a long bamboo pole equipped with a net. As the boats moved from craft to craft, offerings were dropped into the outstretched nets. In other economic develop ments: The National Association of Manufacturers told a Senate House Economic committee Wed nesday the nation's economy was hindered somewhat by govern ment spending since "It is a with drawal of manpower, and other productive resources which might otherwise be used in ex panding the economy." The House Small Business committee summoned Treasury Secretary Robert B. Anderson, Federal Reserve Chairman Wil liam McC. Martin and other top government economic experts to hearings on financing problems of small business. Committee Chairman Wriht Patman (D-Tex.) said Wednesday more U.S. busi ness firms failed in September than in any September since 1953. The Commerce Department said the gross national product the output of goods and serv ices continued at a steady re cord high levels during the July September period. It said out put ran at an annual rate of 439 billion dollars during the period five billion dollars over the rate in the previous quarter. Tfhe Labor Department econo mists based their prediction for a rise in unemployment on the fact that jobless totals failed to drop significancy in September and October. Normally unem ployment dips to its lowest levels in those two months. February usually tops other months in unemployment be cause bad weather halts much outdoor work and the Christmas rush is over.

Rural high way traffic in Oregon showed a statewide decrease of 2.3 per cent for October as compared with October of last year, the state highway department re ported today. Most rural traffic counters in southwestern and central Ore gon showed decreased October traffic which was attributed in part to the curtailment of lum ber operations.
