Unemployment No Longer
Presents Problem, Says
Economist for Institute
NEW YOKK, Feb. 13 (UP)
Unemployment In tho United
Slates "has been practically
wiped out" and the nation today
faces the problem of a shortage
of labor for the first time In
more than a decade, according
to William T. 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

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. At pres
ent logging operations arc at a
standstill duo to Impossible con

To Curb Disease of Shrubs
By PAUL F. 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.

BER. 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.

RED CROSS TELLS
i)
The William Pitt chapter of
the Daughters of the British Em
pire have been very active the
past year in the production pro
gram carried on by the Klamath
county chapter of the American
Red Cross.
The group, under the direction
of the committee composed of
Mrs. H. S. Cunningham, Mrs.
Jean Shiel, Mrs. Jennie Grover,
Mrs. Paul Keyes, Mrs. M. L. Fen
ton and May Phinney have work
ed approximately 527 hours.
During this time the following
articles were made: two boys'
shirts, 12 women's dresses, six
convalescent robes, two chil
dren's dresses, six layettes, 12
baby bonnets, four baby jackets,
six pair baby bootees, seven
crocheted shawls, one knitted
muffler, five knitted long
sleeved sweaters and 14 pair
knitted wristlets.
Due to the fact the American
Red Cross has been giving so
much aid to Britain, the organi
zation feels it is doing its part
in helping the country through
the American Red Cross. Since
