Labor Market information
Statement For Phoenix Area
BY HANS G. JOHANSEN,
Manager, Arizona State
Employment Service
nNTORER 10A7
EMPLOYMENT TREND


AS anticipated, total employment
in the Phoenix area increased
slightly as the effects of regular
seasonal immigration to the area
began to be felt by various in
dustrieS. The overall increase was
paced by improved employment
within the agricultural, construc-
tion, manufacturing, service, trans
portation, and other public utility
industries which more than offset
slight declines in wholesale and
retail trade and in the finance in
Surance and real estate industries.
UNEMPLOYMENT
Unemployment declined slightly
during the period partially as a
result of the improved employment
picture. The unemployed decrease
was evidenced by a decline in the
number of contacts made by job
seekers as well as by substantial
decrease in the number of workers
actively seeking employment thru
the local office. Approximately 46
per cent of those actively seeking
employment are veterans and %
per cent women.
MIGRATION
Increasing immigration into the
area was noted and was shown by
a total of 982 new work applica-
tions from Immigrants as compared
to 69S for the previous month. APP
proximately Al per cent of total
of 895 new veteran APPLICATIONS rep
resent immigrant veterans and 281
female Immigrants are represented
in 791 total of new female work
JOB OPENINGS ,
Improving job security within
the area is shown by the number
of job openings received during
the month-1298 compared to the
BOT openings received during
August. Two hundred forty-seven
of this total remained untitled at
the end of September as compared
to 2O8 untitled openings on Septem-
ber 1st. Current openings exist for
male bookkeepers, dental technic-
ianS, mechanical craftsmen, COM
mercial artists, playground direc-
tors, building foremen, bricklayers,
carpenters, painters, tile settlers
and mechanics. Openings exist for
female bookkeeperS, social workers,
registered nurses, stenographers,
typistS, general office clerks, wait
reSSeS and domeSticS.
VETERANS ACTIVITIES
Veterans calls for service at the
local office during the month
averaged 1883 per week as against
a weekly average of 1914 calls dur
ing August. However, new veteran
job applications taken during the
month increased to 1876 compared
to the August total of 1876. Veteran
placements for September num-
bered 455 considerable increase
over the August total of 242.
HOUSING
Housing remains critical and in
creasing immigration will further
tax existing facilities. The list of
home seekers grows daily despite
the increase activity in residence
construction.
FUTURE EMPLOYMENT
TRENDS AND NEEDS
The upward trend in total en-
ployment is expected to continue
during the next month. Slight gains
are anticipated in contract con-

unilateral action to promote cessation of the
war between the exploiting Dutch with their
American trained and equipped armies and
the Indonesian people and their republican
form of government. 1t is clearly evident
that America intended to make no demands
rudely on the Dutch We only asked mildly
for some temporary cessation of hostilities
and offered our offices as medators. And
so far as is known, there was no word of
censure of the Dutch for their unwarranted
action.
The demands for action by the United
Nations originated with Australia and India.
Russia attempted to make it mandatory that
the Dutch withdraw to their original posi-
lions which would have been fair to the peo-
pie Of Indonesia, but this failed. However,
precedent has now at long last been estab-
llshed, and in view of the professed support
of the u. S. and Great Britain of the United
Nations, these two powers may feel bound to
place more rigid limit on their unilateral
activities henceforth.
Let us hope so at least.

WHY NOT FEDERAL AID FOR SCHOOLS?

the adults 2O64 years In New York, 100 adults edu-
Gated 80 children while in Mississippi the same NUMBER
of adults with onefourh the per Capita "oohe were
required to educate "a children
The wealth distributed in New York is derived from
the national market as a whole. This production is
not limited to the labor the people within its own
state The activities of its great corporations reach
into the earnings of people everywhere.
National defense is the function of the nation as
whole-the federal government The health education
and general welbeng of all citizens is therefore the
concern of government.
"FodaraI aid is not contrary to the American trad-
ton Congress has enacted some 60 laws in support
education. The Land Ordinance OF 1855 reserved
the "lot No Is of every township for education
1.-THE arguments for the larger unit for tax pur-
poses within our state apply to federal aid Many
districts within formed late out of
territory with little railroad property or other
utility wealth. Residents of richer districts receive
the benefits of the larger tax payments made by
the utilities Those in the poorer districts receive
very little of these benefits yet their production
contributes much, times more, to the profits
of these corporations To say these districts should
not share equally in the benefits accrung from
these taxes is inconsistent with the democratic
ideal. Just as detrimental as the inequality within
states is the inequality of production and income
between the states.
In 19SS194O New York spent S156 on each child in
average daily attendance-1See plus of its capita
income
ITO spend that much per -$156-Mississippi
would have to 1870 of its per capita income for
education per child in average daily attendance
THE bad effects of poor education cannot be con
fined within the state because people have achieved
the habit of disregarding state lines. Particularly of
late years migration has been great.
"Montana's production is chiefly raw material This
is prOcessed outside the state The larger dividends
are therefore distributed elsewhere"

POLIO VACCINE IS DEVELOPED
BY CHEMIST

Palo Alto, July 81. (UP)-Development of a polio
vaccine which may make deadly infantle paralysis
as mild as chicken pox was revealed today
The first successful poliomyelitis vaccine was
disclosed by DR. Hubert S. Loring, Stanford univer-
slty biochemist raising sciences hopes that perhaps

MASSIVE doses of virulent polio virus have been
administered by Loring to experimental laboratory
anlmals-and they have survived The next stems
lead toward developing similar vaccine for hui
mans.
DIX months ago Loring isolated the first pure"
poho virus from which the experimental vaccine
was developed.

the local autonomy selfrue of the schools would
be threatenedone by federal bureaucrats the other by
state bureaucrats appointed by the Likewise
must agree that there is need for consolidation
of districts.
However, in looking over various bills introduced in
the 10Th to provide greater fund equalization
through federal aid there is proviso the
seemingly must have missed. For instance, SIT by
Mead of New York and Aiken, Vermont in its very first
section under Title 1 stated:
Section 1. The funds authorized to be appropr-
ated pursuant to the provisions of this act shall be
used to help maintain the educational systems and
educational programs within the several states; it
being the expressed intent of the congress that
visions of this act shall be so construed
courage local and state initiative and responsibility
and to explicitly states and their local
subdivisions the organization and administration of
schools, the control the processes of education
the control and determination curricula of the
schools, the methods of instruction be employed
in them the selection of personnel employed by the
state and its agencies, and the selection of
books and materials of instruction, and shall not be
construed in anyway to demit state in the defin-
ton of its education program"
Similar wording to the above is to be found also in
s. 1S1 and s. 619-two other bills before the 10Th con-
gress having do with education in general and voca-
tional education.
The intent of the authors of these bills seems very
clear the absolute preservation of state and local
rights in matters dealing with education something
not to be found anywhere in the late lib 124.
Further in his blast federal aid to schools in
havenot states Governor Ford apparently to
chief executives from the industrialized sates)
"You manufacturing states with large payrolIs
are fed by US and materials. Don't say
we're getting something for nothing from the fed
era government because without us you could not
exist"
Whether the governor inconsistent in this is
not particularly pertinent What pertinent is the
thought expressed concerning the so-caled raw ma
terals states. We here in Montana all aware
OF what it means for mineral, timber and other
wealth to be constantly exploited with little return to
Montana. We know that taxes such production are
low. We know that the only way have an oppor-
unity to share in the proceeds in federal appropra
lion OF funds to help maintain states economy.
Nothing New About Federal Aid -.
Federal assistance to states to help in maintaining
he schools is not innovation
The case for federal aid recently summed up by
J. M. Peterson tax expert for the Montana Farmers
Union in an authoritative pamphlet "Tax Facts and
Figures, Handbook for the Tax Student of Montana:
"The ability of any state to maintain high level
If social service depends essentially the wage and
ncome level of its people.
"But many states, chiefly because their production is
confined largely to material simply afford

needs is reorganization ana conSoll-
dation to make them self-supporting,
and with that, the state can do the
job.
With both salient points | find
grounds for some agreement. To be
sure, federal aid, without proper re-
straints could impose a bureaucratic
dictatorship on our schools, similar
to that proposed by the governors

the last legislature. In either case,
