(St Story on Fag 2) Hammarskjold Deplores Aid To Congo Factions Blast Obviously Aimed at Russia United Nations, N.Y. -0IPD-U.N.

In Washington Wednesday, President Eisenhower also scored Soviet intervention in the crisis-torn -African repub lic and warned that a serious situation would develop if Russia continued to provide The Congo government with planes ana equipment. The secretary general sug nested a temporary disarming of Congo troops which he said "under the present circum stances, arc an obstacle to the re-establishment of law and order . . . .He called for a $100 million international aid fund to bol ster the Congo economy when order is restored.

Employment in agriculture was rising with the start of the fruit harvest, he noted. But at the same time, the lumber industry was experi encing reduced hours and some layoffs brought about by low Wholesale lumber prices. The mixed trends, Patton said, showed up in employ ment service activities as a decrease in non-agriculture placements and an increase in unemployment compensa tion claims over the same pe- rinrl a venr ni7n. nnrincf August, an effort was made in Washington, Ida ho and other parts of uregon to recruit pear pickers, inis recruitment, Patton said, pro duces only a small portion of the needed help.
