State Increase
In Jobs Expected

Increased employment in Michi-
gan In 1916 was forecast today,
but material shortages and labor
disputes have dashed hopes that
pre-V-J Day levels will be at
tanned by March, Edward L.
Cushman, state director of the
U. S. Employment Service, said
today.
CuShman predicted that De-
troits pre-victory employment
mark of 983,0 would not be
reached before July.
"Detroit's employment IL now
approximately 800, ,0OO," CuSh-
man revealed, cor SO per cent
under the peak war employ
ment and 2 per cent under the
previous peacetlme figure OF
8l9,50O In l94O."
225,0O0 JOBLESS
Unemployment in the Detroit
area has now reached 225,000
persons, Cushman added, an
equivalent TO the peak unemploy-
ment following VI Day and its
mass layoffs.
Job opportunities on file with
the USES" he said, "have
shrunk TO about $500, the low
est since 1888, while the daily
traffic OF job seekers in local
Offices Is about 1880, Of whom
5000 are returned veterans.
"NOnagricultural employment
for the entire state Is slightly
In excess OF 1857 900, about 81
per cent under the war peak
and per cent under the pre-
war figure"
Unemployment fol the entire
state, Cushman said, affects $780,
300 workers, concentrated mainly
in the 10 larger industrial areas.
Afichfgans employment record
was set in November, 1943, when
2 291 800 persons were working
and only $500 men and 1000
women in the states labor force
were unplaced. Detroit's employed
at that time included 826,0 600 men
and 472,000 women for a total of
l,298,000, and the jobless num-
bered 1000 men and 5000 women.
Labor disputes and material
shortages have Cancelled plans of
AIT Detroit employers 70 increase
their forces by 10000 workers in
the next three months, Cushman
said, and have also wiped out an
additional 10000 jobs.

I'm tired, very tired, of travelling
the chief of staff told reporters
during pause in the volley OF queS-
tions. For that reason, he explained,
he is foregoing an inspection trip to
Alaska-"at least for a long, while
yet" Alaska is the only Army area
outside the United States he hasn't
visited.
He thought the United States
forces in Germany are adequate" to
do the job. "The boys naturally
want to come home" he remarked,
but he wouldn't venture to suggest
when. That's up to Mr.. Byrnes

ber of miles, he recalled he has
crossed the Atlantic nine times by
air and once by ship. The last was
his trip four weeks ago OH the Queen
Mary to Southampton, England.
The general didn't dodge any
questions but he wasn't giving on
things he thought better left unsaid.
That included the controversy over
Trieste.
He saw very little to worry about
in the personal relations between
the Russian soldiers and our men,"

Gen. Eisenhower was asked to
comment on reports that he had
questioned the policy of trying top
Nazi military leaders.
what I said very carefully" he
replied, was that it was none of the
Army,s business, but that of the In
ternational Tribunal. The Nuern-
berg decision was rendered after
serious consideration"
The Army is doing "a good job"
in Germany, Gen. Eisenhower COM
mented. The chief problem in the
reconstruction of the Reich, he be-
lieved. was the difficulties in making
improvements, repairs and construc-
ton. Materials are scarce because
of shortages in the United States.
I'm the year and half since I
had left Germany, I was amazed at
finding the morale of the Army re-
