court here late Monday as ne heard
a i2-month sentence imposed upon
him for possession Of counterfeit

After pleading guilty To the
counterfeit charge brought by q

complimentary opinions about slot
machines.
He said that even by In
vesting nothing hut slugs In
the mechanical gambling de-
vices. profit was impossible.
He said that a net take" of 81

was a high average Of income. He
said that all things considered. the
long average seemed to be a re-
turn of about a dozen coins for
every hundred deposited In a slot
machine. He said he was thor

On the other hand, figures on
Tacoma's housing shortage which

On the basis OF the new hirings
due here, the housing vacancy
list (which is nonresident in
family units) and the number of
local unemployed believed avail

need for 1000 new housing units
Arbitrarily, II was estimated
that half that number of new
units can he built by private
investors within the year.
On that basis the request to

Changes Of Plants To War Production
Bring Sharp Unemployment Increase

Washington, d. c. ULNS).-War-
time industrial changes are bringing
sharp increases in unemployment, as
predicted by spokesmen for organized
labor.
This is indicated by gains in unem-
ployment insurance benefits paid dur
ing January as the result of lay-offS
because of conversion of plants to war
production and curtailment of non
essential Industries as we'll as normal
seasonal factors.
Benefits at Record High
The state and territorial unemploy-
ment compensation agencies paid Il
total of Sal 100000 in benefits cover
ing Approximately four and one-half
million man-weekS of unemployment.
This was 4S per cent above December
payments and the highest December
January rise on record
At least 900, 400 workers received
one or more benefit checks during Jan
uary, nearly two-thir(ls more than in
the previous month.
This exceptionally large increase,
Federal Security Administrator Paul
V. McNutt said. resulted from the
growing pinch of priorities unemploy-

More Teamwork Urged
By Nelson For Victory

Washington, ID. C.-War Production
Director Donald NJ Nelson appealed
to management and labor i'm q nation
wide radio address to devote more
brains, more muscle and more team
work to the job of turning ont war
materials so that the United Nations
can lick the Axis in the shortest pos
sible time
He revealed production 'scOre
boards" will be put up in each plant
to stimulate healthy competition for
production records.
He called for joint labormanage-
ment committees in each factory to
which any man may submit ideas and
suggestions for doing the job better
He also proposed that ''production
soldiers be recognized for meritori-
Gus service by being given awards of
merit" This plan is already being con-
sidered by the Army.
Another plan endorsed by Nelson is
to give workers reports on distinguish
ed field performance of the ships, guns,
planes and tanks they produce. Fulton
Lewis, Jr., radio commentator, has adj
vocated the latter two proposals re-
peatedly in his broadcasts.
