March and April, the BIS study
showed, with about two-thirds of

goods industries as textiles, ap-
parels, leather and tobacco.
The soft goods centers-main-
ly New York, New England and
some South Atlantic states-show-
ed the result in some rise Of job
tessness, the BIS commissioner
said. On the other hand, heavy
goods centers like the industrial
Midwest and Pennsylvania con-
tirued to operate at peak levels.
Unemployment Rise
Unemployment may very well
rise in the next few MONTHS"
Clague said, because many stud
