them"

TO NATI0NALISTS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-R =
The Army and Navy Journal SAID
today that the United States mas
stopped assisting the movement OF
Chinese Nationalist troops from
South China "as result of open
ing talks in the conference of Big
Three foreign ministers in Moscow
State Department officials said,
however, that the decision on
American assistance in transport
ing the Nationalist troops from
South to North China still rests
with Gen. George c. Marshall.
These officials, who asked not
to be identified, said the State
Department directive to the War
Department on troop movements
in China, made public Tuesday,
is still entirely valid.
This directive said Gen. Albert
c. Wedemeyer, U. S. army COM
mander in China, may transport
Nationalist troops into Manchurla
at his own discretion.
It added, however, that this
privilege holds only for Manchuria.
If Wedemeyer wishes to help
transport Chinese troops into North
China, it added, he must obtain
the approval of General Marshall,
President Truman's special envoy
to China.

DOWNWARD TREND
IN JOBS HALTED

RALEIGH, Dec. 22.-R-North
Cardinals downward trend in en-
ployment, which began in 1913, has
been halted temporarily and the
wav paved for larger employment
in the near future, the United
States Employment Service said
today.
A survey concluded in $50 larger
and more important plants on No
vember IS showed 247, 127 workers
regularly employed. This was one
per cent more than the total en-
ployed by the same firms 80 days
before, but was ia per cent below
The figure for the same date in
1914.
The survey, reported by Robert
NJ. Du Bruyne, acting state director
Of the Employment Service, showed
that war production has almost
ended in the state. This was in
dicated, Du Rruyne said, by the
Insignificant numbers of workers
reported in plants formerly engaged
in producing ordance and Access
sories aircraft and parts and other
exclusively war products"
Industries which indicate an up
ward trend in employment, said,
include metal mining, food and
kindred productsen tobacco manu-
featuring, textiles, apparel, furni-
turne and finished lumber products,
tobacco processing, leather and
leather products, professional and
scientific instruments, trucking and
warehousing for hire, transporta-
ton, and retail general merchan-
disc.
The downward trend in employ
ment in North Carolina began in
the spring of 1943, Du Bruyne said,
due to selective service with
drawsls and transfer Of workers
10 war plants in other state. It
continued with the end of the war
and the consequent recoversion,
however, it never has reached an
acute stage in the state, and actual
y there have been enough jobs
Tor all displaced workers who did
not plan to continue in war-develop-
ed skills.
