A prediction of five million or more jobless soon was made by two national surveys but they dis agreed on what happens next.
 The Public Affairs Institute said nothing in sight indicates a halt in unemployment trends The American Federation of Labor said "a serious business recession is al- most impossible
 The Institute recommended the cuts for the low and middle income brackets, emergency public works, revival of the Civilian Conservation Corps and other federal actions to spur business.
 The AFL, however, found the prospect good. It said wages should keep moving upward to increase consumer buying, but suggested in- creases be based on increases in productivity. It urged cooperation by unions with management to cut out waste and reduce expenses, and opposed government tinkering.
