The rise in job layoffs has
reached the point where one Of
every Is workers covered by I'M
employment insurance is now
drawing compensation In the
United States.
The latest spot check made
across country by the Social
Security Administration indicates
that the 40 States are issuing
jobless checks to more than a.
OTIS. 900 persons and $685. 900 others
are asking for similar benefits.
The cost. according to the sur
vey, runs to nearly $137 ,000. 900
monitor an average Of more
than $40 weekly for each worker
covered by this vast unemploy-
ment payroll.
The survey by no means gives
the whole picture of the rise In

Rhode Island Leads.
Leading all States In jobless pay
ments is Rhode Island, which
today Is paying unemployment
compensation to one Of every four
workers. That's roughly "a per
cent of the total covered by ur1-
employment insurance.
Next In line are Maine and New
Hampshire. which issue benefits to
one out of every eight covered
workers. Massachusetts, is runner
up with one out of every nine of
its insured workers receiving
payments.
RegionaIly. the survey shows
that New England leads all other
areas In the number OF unem-
ployed workers who are now re-
ceiving State unemployment-in-
surance payments.
The figures indicate that ell six

- Counter-Spy Reports Charge
Reds Hold Many U.S.. Jobs Here,
Work Under Russian Embassy
CopIon Trial Hears
Army Coptoin Named
In Secret Document
By james ], CuIIinone

Secret reports of 10 Justice
Department counteragents, who
kept track of Communist Party
activities in the District of Co
lumbia were being read today to
the jury trying Judith Coplon.
suspended Justice Department
analyst, on espionage charges.
One section of the report indi-
Gated that the FBI was keeping
track of what went on at the So
Wet Embassy by referring to the
fact that the agency was able to
acquire a copy of a Communist
Party members application for
employment filed at the Embassy.
The report did not say specifically,
however, that the Justice Depart
ment had planted counter es-
pionage agents within the En-
baSsy.
%. The Federal counteragents re-
ported that Washington Com
rnunists, many of whom allegedly
hold responsible positions in the
Federal Government. receive in
structions from attaches at the
Soviet Embassy and the Bulgarian
Legation.
AT least one of the 10 counter
spies Is himself a member of the
Communist Party here, the secret
report read to the jury by De-
tense Attorney Archibald Palmer
disclosed.
Names of more than score of
District residents whom the coun-
terspies reported are active in the
Communist Party. were read by
the defense attorney. He read
them so rapidly. however. that
those present in the courtroom
could not catch the exact names.
The names may not be available
in typewriter form from the
court records until late this after
noon.

1t was noted, however, that
one of the men named was iden-
tilted as an Army captain station

The report was pried from FBT
files because a data slip" refer

was found In the purse Of Miss
Coplon when she was arrested
with her alleged Soviet confeder-
ate Valentine Gubitchev in New
York on March 4. She is accused
OF taking classified information
from Government files.
The FBI documents have been
introduced into the trial over the
objections of the prosecution who
claimed that revelations in them
would harm national security.
The first report read today-the
third such document-said the
Washington Bookshop. which has
been on Attorney General Clark's
list Of subversive organizations, is
still q headquarters for the Com
fnunist Party in Washington. 1t is
located at 916 Seventeenth street

the role of an alcoholic aristocrat'
who loves not only beneath her
station but beyond her power to
act the part convincingly.
Granting that the environment
is not morally suitable to Lady
Hattie Considine, Miss Bergman
overplays her relation to it almost
to the point of burlesque at times.
It leaves one thinking that Joan
Crawford would have been bet
ter choice for the role.
This is not good for Under
Capricorn" but not even such an
artful drama designer as Hitch
cock can do anything about It.
The big scenes of his costumed
adventure simply get away from
him. Even the matinee trade
which enjoys suffering with
heroines outrageously victimized
by fate is likely to have its grave
doubts on this occasion.
* X *
Under Capricorn" is one OF
those period fictions which give
noveIists such as Helen Simpson
the notion they are revitalizing
history. The writing trick in
volved is that of setting primi-
tive stage, mixing up the new rich
and the old aristocracy socially,
and setting off one explosive mis-
alliance that threatens to blow
everyone to bits. All this lends
itself naturally to Technicolor
which makes it that much more
irresistible to film story buyers.
Miss Bergman's place IN this
high-powered romance. with its
political overtones. is that OF the
wife OF an Australian tycoon who
once was her family's stable boy
back in Ireland. He (Cotten) is
a handsome one, and ruthless
success in business. Despite all
this, his life is a failure. The mur-
der of his wife's brother after the
elopement has sent the pair to
Australia as sharers of crime.
Neither his wealth nor her beauty
and charm can win them social
acceptance, even in that relaxed
atmosphere.
Miss Bergman's response to this
is to immerse herself in alcohol,
which works as an opiate at least
until young, reckless Hon. Charles
Adare (Michael Wilding) comes
out from Ireland. AS an old ad-
miring neighbor boy would for a
woman less beautiful than Miss
Bergman, the Hon. Charles sets
instantly about redeeming Lady
Hattie. He reawakens her pride,
restores her social prestige by fax
