PROBE Cumberland
Unemployment Crisis
Nv the A.socioted Pre,a

BALTIMORE, Aug. 5.-Half a
dozen agencies were taking aim
today at the unemployment crisis
in and around Cumberland.
Harry Novick. from the Bureau
of Employment Security. part
of the Federal Security Agency in
Washington, came to Baltimore
to get preliminary information on
Western Maryland's industrial
city.
He conferred with William H
Mahaney. chairman of the State S
Employment Security Board.
The Commerce Department in
Washington described the Cum
berland situation as serious"
Maryland's Legislative Council
set up a special five-man COM
m1ttee to study the situation.
Gov. Lane said in Annapolis
he would meet with the. group
early next week.
The Governor said, meantime,
that he expects new developments
sometime next week on his in
quiries about the employment
situation at the Amcelle plant of
the Celanese Corp. of America,
just outside Cumberland. He did
not elaborate.
Heavy layoffs at Amcelle since
the first of the year are the main
cause Of Cumberland's difficulties.
The plant employed as many as
10000 in a long period of peak
production during and just after
the war.
Between $500 and 1000 have
been furloughed now. Other
plants and the Baltimore g. Ohio
Railroad have cut their forces to
the point that there are now an
estimated $500 in Allegany Coun-
ty without jobs.
The situation will come to a
head Monday when Mr.. Novick
and Mr.. Mahaney go to Cumber-
land to start an on-the- spot sur
vey of conditions.
They will be accompanied by
Louis j. O'Donnell, assistant to the
Governor.
The Department of Commerce
already has designated cumber-
land a distress" area.
A department spokesman in
Washington said the Cumberland
study is-designed to get first-hand
information on business and en-
ployment, to discuss with local
leaders plans for improving the
situation and to formulate recon-
mendations for Government ac-
ton. go
Federal agencies are making
such studies in line with President
Truman's plan of channeling Gov.
ernment contracts, where possible,
into the distress areas.
The special Legislative Council
Committee was set up at the sug-
gestion of Senator Kimble. Repub-
lican, of Allegany County. He pre-
viously had reported to the council
that the situation in his area is
critical

Swine Flu Season
Has Now Arrived
teontlnnsd 10 - -

Since no vaccine has been dis
the Foundation made these
recommendations to protect swine
from the disease:
Get rid of old straw stacks and
other unsanitary matter around the
hog yard; keep hog houses we'll
ventilated; protect the animals
from undue exposure to cold and
dampness; prevent piling at night.
Having swine checked for lung
worm, if it is suspected, also is i'm
pOrtant, because veterinarians have
found that these parasites are con-
nected with the spread of the dis
ease.
If, despite the owners precau-
tions, flue gets into the herd, good
care of the animals is essential
the bulletin points out. Because
swine in a weakned condition may
be easy prey for other diseases.
