Rittiner. ' Crater Greenhouse I Sold by Meadows ',' Mr. and Mrs. W. K.

A broadcast by the Pathet Lao clandestine radio in northern Laos admitted the leftists were facing "many dif ficulties" and called for at tacks to support Vientiane and against enemy barracks, army posts and positions in central and lower Laos. Premier Elected The broadcast came soon after the Laotian Assembly meeting in the right-wing rebel stronghold of -Savannak- het in southern Laos elected Prince Boun Oun Na Champ- assak as premier and Gen. Nosavan Phoumi, military leader of the rightist forces, as deputy premier. The British Foreign office announced in London it has ordered British mothers and young children to leave Vien tiane. Prince Boun Oum was re ported to have the full back ing of King Savang Vatthana who rules from his own capi tal at Luang Prabang. The Communist Pathet Lao called Boun Oum a "punnet" of the United States and ord ered its guerrillas "to increase their efforts, to attack the enemy in the rear and to an nihiliate the enemy forces." Getting Soviet Aid There was no indication the rival neutralist government of Premier Quinim .Phoisena in Vientiane would pay any at tention to the election of Prince Boun Oum or take note of the fact the king was back ing him. Quinim is getting steadily increasing aid from the So viet Union in preparation for what is expected, eventually to be a showdown between the leftist-leaning neutrals and Phoumi's right-wing forces.

Million More Seen To Be Unemployed Washington - IUPD - Another million workers are virtually certain to lose their jobs in December and January, push ing unemployment over 5 mil lion, government economists predicted today. . No drop was in sight before March.

The economists painted this dark picture after the Labor Department announced Mon day that unemployment climb ed by 452,000 last month to 4,031,000, a postwar Novem ber record. The jobless rate fell a shade from 6.5 to 6.3 per cent of the labor force. Seymour Wolfbein, a depu ty assistant secretary of labor, said he foresaw "nothing in Wrong Name Listed For Fire Chief In an article about the Cen tral Point Volunteer fire de partment in Sunday's Mail Tribune, the wrong name was listed as fire chief of the de partment. The fire chief is Donald D. Turner, who has served as chief for the past six years. the offing which will bring unemployment down before the end of winter." He said the November fig ures supported -earlier pre dictions that unemployment would not drop until March, falling then to 5 million. He noted that joblessness usually jumps in January because Christmas workers are laid off and cold weather curtails out door work.
