conoimists (Predict Four Million Will be Unemployed in February
One Reason Is Waning
Boom in Industrial
Expansion, They Say
BY WILLIAM J. 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 Roads Declines
Salem (IP! 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.

was shown on U.S. Highway 30
between Astoria and Pendleton.

Ochoco on U.S. Highway 26,
down 13.1 per cent; Pilot Butte
