ARCHITECTS CITE
EMPLOYMENT GAIN
Conditions in New York Re-
ported to Be ''DistinCtIy
Better"

Employment conditions among archi-
tects in the New York metropolitan
area are distinctly better" according
to q report of the Architects Eaner-
gency Committee, Of which Jucian T..
Smith Is chairman.
Nearly 5000 jobs have been provided
and 5000 900 raised by the committee
since it was organized six years ago
under the headship Of Julian Clarence
Levi, Fellow of the American Institute
of Architects and Mr.. Smiths prede-
cessor, to relieve the plight Of archi-
tects and draughtsmen forced out Of
work by the depression.
The committee will eventually be
transformed into permanent organi-
zation for the service of architects in
the New York region, Mr.. Smith an
nounced. Meantime, it will continue to
function as an employment aid at its
headquarters in the Architectural
League, us East Fortieth street.
1.-The economic situation of many
architects and architectural draughts-
men in the metropolitan area became
increasingly difficult as the years of
depression went on and would have
become desperate indeed but for the

committee and their friends says the
