Unemployment In
March Highest
Since 1941
WASHINGTON, UPI — The gov
ernment reported Tuesday unem
ployment rose by 25,000 in March.
This took the ^otal to 5,198,000
—the highest in 16V£ years.
The regular monthly report
of the Commerce and Labor De
partments also showed a rise in
employment for March, making
the total of those at work
62,311,000.
President Eisenhower said the
• figures indicate a slowing up ofj
the decline. He issued this state
ment: “The figures released by
the Departments of Commerce
and Labor show a pickup in jobs
in March and a leveling off of
unemployment. These statistics
indicate a slowing up of the de
cline.” V
The report explained the in
crease in both employment and
unemployment as resulting from
seasonal increases in outdoor
work. There were on the other
hand further cutbacks in the
manufacturing employment.
With the opening of outdoor
work opportunities, additional
people*come into the labor force.
The March unemployment tally
is the highest since the 5,620,000
recorded in August 1941.
The rise in unemployment is
contraseasonal. Normally there
is a moderate drop in the job
less total at this time of the year,
usually.
The proportion of the unem
ployed to the total labor force
rose in March from 6.7 to 7 per
cent.

how their old-fashioned vegeta

Navy Officials Disagree
On Russian Sub Threat
To U. S. Security
WASHINGTON, UP) — Two
high Navy officials disagree over
the threat to U. S. security from
Russia’s submarine fleet.
Vice Adm. V. W. Davis Jr.,
Deputy Chief of Naval Operations :
for Air, says: “We are not in a i
‘deadly peril today’ of large num-1
bers of Russian submarines lying
off our coast threatening us with
missiles.”
However, Rear Adm. Hyman G.
Rickover, Chief of the Navy’s
Nuclear Propulsion Program, says
the possibility of Soviet subs at
tacking with atomic or hydrogen
missiles “is the gravest immedi
ate threat that faces the United
States.”
These views were made public
Monday in censored testimony
released by a House Appropria
tions Subcommittee. Davis tes
tified Feb. 21 and Rickover on
March 3.
The trouble with a skeleton in a
closet is that it doesn’t stay there.
