Employment Security
Commission Issues
Preliminary Report

A most significant fact in the
preliminary report issued by Ray
mon L. Maxey, Statistician of I'm
employment Compensation Division
of the Employment Security Com
mission, is the increase in number
of workers covered by unemploy-
ment compensation in Arizona. In
the quarter ending September 80,
1916, the monthly average of work.
ers reported was approximately
1000, as compared with employ
ment of 1888 for September 1945,
which was a period before the full
impact of VI Day caused the lay
off of employees at the war plants.
Since November 1945 there has
been a steady increase to reach
the total of $1,000 in September
1916, due primarily of the estab-
lishment of many small new busi-
neSSeS.
In 1910 the monthly average of
employed workers covered by un-
employment compensation was co.
308, and by 1941 the number had
increased to 8,844. During the war
years with plants operating at full
capacity, the highest monthly aver
age of 95,312 workers was reached
in 1913, and dropped to 83,685 in
1945.
Mr.. Maxcy pointed out that the
high employment throughout the
State is reflected in the number of
claims filed for unemployment
compensation and readjustment al
lowances by unemployed workers
and veterans. During the month of
November 1916, 1861 initial claims
and 8,315 continued claims for un-
employment compensation were
filed within Arizona, as compared
with 2,842 initial claims and 15,845
continued claims in November 1945.
The amount paid out in unemploy-
ment compensation was $4,000 in
November 1916, as contrasted with
$147, 1870 in November 1915.
Approximately 5000 men were
inducted into the armed services
from Arizona and it is estimated
that there are now $4,000 veterans
of World War II in Arizona. Due
to the heavy influx of veterans,
$222,066 was paid to unemployed
veterans and $29,126 to self-em-
ployed veterans in November 1916.
The total number of veterans paid
these allowances during the month
was 4,289, representing $50 of the
veterans in the state. The total
amount of payments of $251, 1872
was dropped from $537, ,544 in Au-
gust. A year ago, in November of
1945, unemployed veterans received
$77,777' and self-employed veterans
$3,937.

On Christmas Eve, a party COM

companied a group of Christmas

rection of Mr.. Stewart.
At 7:30 Christmas Eve, the Sum-

mas Customs. The seven scenes
depicted were: The Nativity,
Choice of Christmas Tree, Orna-

DR.. Ellis, the pastor of the CAL

Calvary Church has agreed to
make this an annual affair be-
tween the two churches. He stated
that the joint service has helped
his church beyond expression from
the standpoint of racal under

Nelson said in his sermon: "There
was no discrimination in the stable

not object to any one coming into

Views of the Press

the job. MT. Landis told reporters covering the National Aviation Clinic in Oklahoma City that he suspects there is too much haste in today's air tranSport-in schedules and perhaps even in vital mainte- nance of equipment.
 This is a disturbing suspicion, and the CAB, because of insuffici- ent personnel, finds itself unable to check on air carriers as thoroughly as it would like, the agency should be permitted to add skilled techni- cal investigators. The safety bu- reau of the CAB would learn more from pre-hight inspections than it did last Friday, for instance, at an eight-hour public hearing on the causes of the recent crash near Stephenville, Mild. A question mark as large as that posed by the CAB chief cannot be allowed to hang over the air transport industry.
 It is inconceivable that major air carriers would knowingly permit maintenance crews to become even a little slipshod in preparing to- days air giants for service, but it is also tragically plain that the ''re- cent record" which MT. Landis was discussing must be replaced by the safety record toward which avia- tion has been striving.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Starch Is Food

I like starch, not starchy foods but lump starch that is used for clothes. am 671a inches tall, weigh 129 pounds, have no appetite at all, but eat five cent box of starch nearly every day. (Mrs. F. R. O. AnSwer-I am astoniShed that anybody can buy anything anywhere for 5 cents lump, piece or box. Starch is starch, in potato or in 8 cereal or in anything made of flour or in laundry starch, corn starch, ice cream etc. If you eatnn starch, ice cream, etc. It is virtually the same in caloric value as so much sugar or candy would be. If you eat la lot of it you get all the calorieS you need and have little appetite for other food. But, like the kids eating candy or Sweetened fountain bever- ages, ice cream and other pap, you |get little or no mineral matter, vita mins, protein amino acids, etc., which are essential for good nutri- tion. So, if you continue the bad habit you inevitably suffer nutrit- ional deficiency disease.
 My mother asks about various veins. Which is best, cutting and tying or injections alone?

New Mexican Politics 1y 1Aonaas Stokes

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. Oct 1s-The nervous anxiety of politicians here particularly Democrats they stood around waiting to hear what President Truman would say about meat is evidence of the importance of that subject in politics here, as in all the cattle country.
 Lifting of controls might be the thing that would give the Democrats this state again After the speech the Democrats nightly relieved. For they are hard pressed this year for the every where else-continuing government restrictions which had come to be symbolized in the one word, meat.
 Republicans did not take the Truman action too hard They say the issue already is settled for pur poses of the forthcoming election. The President finally did what they had urged for long time. And they still point to the long hggng and haggling in Washington as proof of indecision there. Cattemen now are largely Republican here anyhow and further more, the issue seems to have become powerful with rank kand-fe voters, despite the fact that meat hasn't been so hard to get here as elsewhere.
 Republicans are in higher spirits here than at any time in the New Deal years. This state stuck to Franklin D. Roosevelt all his time in Washington.
 Chief interest nationally centers in the contest for the Senate seat now held by Dennis Chavez. He knows he has fight To the usual handicap in this year of dissatisfaction with the Democratic admins tration in Washington, which has alenated oldline Democrats the Senator nss another-a split in the top ranks of his party into bitter personal feuds Nearly everybody is mad at somebody else, several somebodies else.
 The Republican champion against Senator Chavez is the modern conquiStador, Patrick J. Hurley. He also has the flair of the gay cabaero with his hand some face and figure and his turned-up mustachios He carries about him the glamor of the warrior and diplomat who served the Roosevelt administration as troube-shooter in so many world theaters, lastly as ambassador to China. He gave up that post some months ago with one of his characteristic two-gun explosions that shook Washington for days. He is stressing his differences with the State Department over policy in China by demanding Ian American
