Hogan Collects $500
Al Detroit, Passes Up
Next Two Golf Meets
Dy the Assoeioisd Press

DETROIT, July 6.-Belting Ben
Hogan today counted his seasons
golf earnings at $2o,ls7.5o and
decided to pass up the next two
big opportunities to add to it.
The Hershey. Pa, star annexed
the Motor City Open and $4,000
yesterday, finishing with q 2-over-
par 73, one stroke ahead Of E. j.
Dutch Harrison Of Albuquerque.
N. Mex, in the playon that finished
the first Motor City competition.
Harrison, who won 81 900 for a
second place share with his 73, i'm
mediately prepared to move on to
Columbus, Ohio, for the Open meet
that starts there Thursday. But
Hogan will skip that affair, along
with q Pittsburgh test that follows
1t on the national tournament cir
cult. in favor of q few exhibition
matches.
The playoh was an anti climax to
the four-day meet, from the stand
points Of both fan interest and link
finesse
Although crowds of 10000 and
$4,000 had thronged the Meadow
brook Country Club fairways during
the last two days of the tournament
proper, only 32l spectators were on
hand to see little Ben take a two
stroke lead on the first hole and
never drop behind.
And the two principals, whose
share Of the extra days take made
but q small addition to their earn
ings, displayed a brand of golf that
was below the high standard set
over the last four days.
The afternoons best shot was fired
by Hogan on the par 5 17th green.
Ben had three-putted on the 18th
green and Harrison had evened
things. Then Hogan's drive hit a
tree and landed IS yards behind
Dutch's tee shot.
The National Open champ fol-
lowed with q shot out OF the heavy
rough and onto the green $50 yards
away. He sent his approach putt
within yard Of the cup and holed
it for q birdie 4. Harrison had to
settle for par, 50 Ben took the slim
lead that held up as the pair played
the final hole in par.

u. 5. Expert Predicts
Fewer Jobs in 1949,
Continued High Total
BY the Associated Press

The Governments top employ
ment expert today predicted fewer
jobs in 1949 but said the total will
stay close to 100000.
| Robert G. Goodwin, director of
the Bureau of Employment Security
said the new year will see some
slackening of the 194S record en-
ployment but that shouldn't worry
any one.
The number of unemployed Is
bound to go up" he said, as indus
try and business continue their
peacetime adjustment.
"The process In 1949," Mr.. Good
win said, will be one Of different
industries catching up with back
logs and postwar orders and ad-
justing to a somewhat lower level
of production and a competitive
market"
Calls Jobless Total Low.
The Census Bureau reported ear
lier in the week that employment
reached an all-time peak Of 63,-
842 900 In July.
Mr.. Goodwin refused to predict
how much unemployment will in
crease. He said the present 1,800,-
900 Is "abnormally" low consider
ing the size OF the labor force.
The transition to peacetime pro-
duction levels has and will continue
to be q gradual process so that it
hasn't cut across the whole econ
omy at once in 1948 and it won't In
1949," Mr.. Goodwin said.
Effect on Women Seen.
One effect seen by Mr.. Goodwin
Of gradually shrinking employment
in 1949 is that women and older
workers probably will find 1t in
creasingly hard to get jobs.
Mr.. Goodwin's bureau, part Of the
Federal Security Agency. runs both
the Governments job-finding en-
ployment service and the unemploy-
ment insurance plan He estimated
the employment service put 12,000.-
900 workers in farm and factory
jobs in 1948.

ket developed an easier trend in the last
session OF the year today. With trading
expanding over the low volume of other
days this week. losses which ran to nearly
2 cents in wheat were recorded.
Some selling in wheat came from the
southwest and apparently was caused by
offerings Of fairly large quantities of cash
wheat. There also was selling by traders
who did not want to hold grains over the
tomorrow.
