Livingston, econo mist for the Alexander Hamil ton Institute. Livingston, also director of the bureau of business condi tions of the Institute, whoso em ployment figures uro used by several federal agencies, told the United Press in an interview that unemployment tho num ber ono problem of this country since 1030 has virtually dis appeared and a full solution of whatever remains of tho prob lem today "Is the matter of only a short tunc In view of tho cur rent trend of affairs." Tho 1DH) census disclosed, ho said, that at the end of March of that year there wore only ft, 110,0(10 persons In tho United States who desired, work but hod no form of employment, ' "Slnco tho census was taken there has been a further sharp decline In unemployment. An estimate based an reports of in creases In employment In various Industries Indicates that there were 3,441,000 fewer persons un employed in December, 1040, than in March of the same year. This means that of tho 3,110,000 persons roxrtcd by the census as unemployed in March, only 1,600,000 were unemployed In December. That compared with a peak unemployment of 16,407, 000 In March 1933. "An unemployment figure of only 1,000,000 is indicative of practically full employment slnco there arc always a number of persons who are temporarily out of work ns tho result of vari ous factors, such us tho process of changing from one job to an other or the seasonal character of some kinds of work. Even In September, 1020, when prc deprcssinn prosperity was Bt its peak and there was obviously no lack of work, 2,768,000 persons were unemployed." Livingston estimated total em ployment at present at a record around 50,000,000 persons, mod erately above the monthly peak of 1021) nnd more than 4,000,000 over the 1020 average, Ila asserted that thcro is a distinct possibility that the sup ply of workers soon may prove 133 So .8th Dial 5188 on that thing?1 to be Inadequate to handle the volume of busineaa which promises to develop as result of tho government's big arming program, pointing out that a shortage of skilled labor already has been reported by the na tional industrial council. TO SPRAGUE RIVER Lee Hose ly, manager of Hosely Logging company, accompanied by Mrs. Hosely left Sunday for the Mayo clinic at Rochester, Minn., where he will undergo special treat ment for a aerioua hip Injury. Hoscly't injury goes back to Inst summer, when ho felt a sharp pnln while working on one of hit logging trucks. He dis regarded the Injury and worked rm during the remainder of the summer under great difficulty. This winter he was forced to seek treatment and an X-rny re vealed that his hip bone wns broken. He was immediately sent to the Klamath Valley hos pital where hit hip was placed in a cast. After several weeks he re turned to Sprague River, where ho suffered a relapse. Ho sought the advice of specialists, who advised him that the only pos sible hope for a cure was the special treatment administered in the famed Mayo clinic. It is believed that a silver plate will bo inserted near tho break. During his absence the Hosely Logging company will be man aged by Masters, tho timekeep er and Claude Malllson.

EWWG CORVALLIS, Ore., Feb. 13 iJP) A disease which caused shrub lovers much trouble has been curbed. It threatened California's stately Monterey cypress, its chief host, and so badly infected the Pacific northwest's nursery stocks of Oriental arborvitae which are ornamental trees that they were unfit for sale despite the clamoring of gard eners. The disease recently was re ported by J. A. Milbrath of the Oregon State college botany de partment as an "undescribed foliage blight, known locally as Berckman blight. After experimenting, he said it could be satisfactorily con trolled by one application of red copper oxide or basic copper sulphate. Milbrath warned gardners however, that to be effective it must be applied before infec tions are initiated and spread by early fall rains. Arborvitae infected were vari tles of the Orientals, including Berckmans' pyramidal golden cedar and others of the hardy conifers" by" gardeners for orna mental plantings trees, shrubs and hedge material.

Finds Way Related species of conifers were found to be immune al though the blight affected pyra midal Italian cypress. Milbrath said the disease is characterized by blighting of small branches, causing them to turn reddish-brown. Limits of infection are indicated by gird ling of larger branchlets. Small branchlets fall from the plants, leaving a tangle of dead gray stems. Infected foliage also turns light gray and reinfection continues until the plant dies. Plants sprayed before fall rains will be cured by one appli cation, since the fungus is not systemic and depends upon new infections each year for survival.
