to do some fast talking to get his
load of Canadian pigs past cus

Unemployment
Drops 400,000,
President Reports
WASHINGTON, UP)—'The White
House described as “nonpolitical”
Monday night’s TV-radio cabinet
session on the new European De
fense Alliance and the President’s
later speech on economic condi
tions.
Eisenhower reported in the
latter speech unemployment has
dropped 400,000 to a new total of
2,700,000. This put it below 3,000,
000 for the first time this year.
The employment situation is a
mpjor issue in many key indus
trial states.
The President’s discussion of
the unemployment situation came
in an address to members of the
National Industrial Assn, at a
Mayflower Hotel dinner here.
Eisenhower called 1954 “our
most prosperous peacetime year
in history,” but added that “in
certain industries and localities
some unemployment still exists
as the aftermath of war and in
flation.”
He went on to say “good prog
ress is being made” toward reduc
ing joblessness. He said “in this
month, it (unemployment) has
fallen from 3,100,000 to 2,700,000.”
White House Press Secretary
James Hagerty said the President
has received a tremendous con
gratulatory response to Monday .
night’s first televised cabinet
meeting in history.
The White House telephone
switchboard was flooded “all
(Monday) night” with congratu
latory calls and there were a
“great number”—no' one has yet
counted them—of telegrams Tues
morning, Hagerty said.
He said most of the messages
said, “Thanks for opening the
cabinet and letting us see how it
operates.”
