Labor Market Trends

Midsummer, as is usual in Phoe-
nix, finds the employment oppor-
tunity picture not too good. Many
workers are unable to find jobs.
Openings listed with us during the
month of June totaled 986, but
2,374 new applications for work
were received during the same per-
iod.
Figures show a 1870 increase in
the number of new applications for
work, comparing this June with
June of last year. The active file
of work applications (applications
of workers available for, and seek
ing jobs) has increased $50. This
active file of 1924 workers can be
interpreted to indicate approxi-
mately 800 unemployed, non-agri-
cultural workers. AS contrast to
these increases, which indicate
more workers unemployed and
seeking jobs, there is a 14% de-
crease in the number of job open
ings the office received during the
month. It is encouraging to note,
however, that placements of work.
erS in jobs only decreased $50.
One of our major manufacturing
plants has been forced to lay off
approximately $50 m e n, mainly
skilled workes. Howeve, this is ex-
pected to be a temporary condi-
ton. The entry into the labor mar
ket, of high school and college
graduates, as well as of those seek
ing summer employment, spreads
a little thinner the available jobs.
Agriculture
The melon harvest is on, and de-
pending somewhat upon the mar
ket, the weather, and other miscel-
laneous factors, should continue
through most of July. The potato
crop was to be harvested by mid
July. Approximately 1000 seasonal
workers have been employed dur

Washington Week
BY Charles L. EgenrOad

Washington, D. C.-The strange
division of Congress on much OF
the Truman flair .deaP program
is claimed on the American people
by most Congressional observers.
This group, in a discussion of
Congressional activity, or inactiv-
ity, are agreed that members of
Congress are much more realistic
about the 1948 election returns
than is President Truman and his
advisors. =
They point out that many Demo
crat Congressman who won seats in
States which Truman carried by
very Scant majorities and in other
instances in which Dewey actually
was the winner.
Since members of Congress win
only on the popular vote and not
by any misleading advantage in the
electoral college, they keep sharp
weather eye on what the folks back
home are thinking.
Mail Tells the Tale
This consideration, the observers
said, has been emphasized by a
strangeness in the mail bag re-
ceived during the present session.
For example, one Congressman
remarked recently that he has re-
ceived a lot of letters from con-
stituents who admitted ruefully
they hadn't voted in the PRESIDENT
al election last year, but they GER
tainly were going to vote in the
next election.
Most of the 435 members of the
House of Representatives and many
of the Senators who face elections
in 1850 are from areas where any
sizable change of mind by those
who did not see fit to vote in 194S
would create hazard.
Many Congressman, these OBJ
servers contend, are convinced that
most of the 45,OOO,OOO who failed to
vote in 1948 are not in favor of the
Truman spending program.
Salons to Sample Sentiment
That is why, they say, so many
Truman program bills are resting
in Committees and why the bills
which have been passed have at
tracted some strange voting COM
binationS.
Quite a number of Congressman,
according to those who get around
on both sides of the Hill, are going
to let Mr.. Truman's program re-
main quietly in Committees until
the second session of the 81St Con-
greSS.
In the meantime, those who were
elected on Democrat tickets that
barely squeaked through in 1913,
will go back home and feel the
pulse of the people, both those who
voted in 1948 and those who didn't.
In other words, President Tru-
man is discovering that Congress
man elected on the Democrat ticket
by a majority of only half the eligi-
BILE voters doesn't necessarily mean
that he is going to do exactly as
President Truman described in a
talk in Reno, Nevada, on Septem-
Der %, 1948 when he said:
eff anybody in this campaign
wants change, I am one who
wants that change. I want change
from a Republican to a Democrat
Congress. want Congress to vote
along with me-to vote for the peo-
pie. want you to send to Congress
Congressman that I can work
with"

ANOTHER CLUE

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Dec. 1i- G}-Hopes that searchers may have rieked up the trail of Francis 5 Brownfield, missing pilot rose to- cay. even as the people of An chorage were preparing a benefit program for the mans family.
 Pilot Don Sheldon and trapper George Blair reported from Tal- keetna, 100 miles north of here, that they had sighted what ap- reared to be some sort of lean to, collapsed by the wind" in the Talkeetna mountains. They said they were unable to land their plane and investigate, due to the rough terrain.
 Brownfield, father of six child ren, has been missing since Sept, I. One other member of the hunt rarty, Pat ODonnell, survived a a. day trek through the wilderness of the Talkeetna area.

 Sheldon said he thought it might be possible to land helicopter about a mile and a half from the sighted shelter. Bitter cold and oeep snows would make further ercund search difficult. Officials Of the Tenth Rescue Squadron indi- cated the report would be investi- gated as soon as weather permits.
 Tonight's party for the Brown field family, a smorgasbord and dance, is the climax to a program designed to raise funds to return the Brownfields to Sequim, Wash, where the missing pilots parents live. Donations already in the fund total nearly $l,400.

TRADE DEALS
 ARE MADE BY
 N. Y. CHANTS

NEW YORK, Dec 1A HR-The New York Giants today traded four players, Willard Marshall, Sid Gordon, Buddy Kerr and. Sam Webb, to the Boston Braves in ex- change for shortstop Alvin Dark and second baseman Eddie stanky.
 Thus the Braves, who were ex- pected to trade wholesale following the reported dissension during the past season, and the Giants. who also were expected to shake things up wholesale, broke out with the biggest deal of the major league meetings.
 The four-for-two swap gave the Braves hard-hitting outfielder in Marshall, another slugger in Cor don who has played the outlield and third base, a smooth-tieiding shortstop in Buddy Kerr, and a relief pitcher ill webb. Both Kerr, cro-time regular shortstop for the Giants, and Wet, were in New York Manager Lco Duroahee's dos- roG-e ard figured to move.
 In Dark and Stanky, tN2 Giants got crack keystone combination which led Boston to the pennant in 194S.

 BASEBALL

NEW YORK, Dec. 14-tR-The 5rowsy winter baseball meetings V ere slow waking up but when the shot came it was corker-a deal between the St. Louis Browns and Philadelphia Athletics involving s1o0,0O0 and six players.
 Connie Mack's pennant- anxious Athletics shelled out the S100,00O plus four players to the Browns to get one of the American Leagues top infielders, third baseman Bob Dillinger, and a good outfielder Paul Lehner.
 The $100,0O0 was the welcome part of the deal for the Browns whose president, Bill Dewitt, said, ' cant make any money at the gate. I've got to make it selling my best players"
 But the Browns also receive vet eran third baseman Frank Gustine and three rookies-shortstop Billy Demars and outfielders Ray Cole man and Rocco Ippolitto.
 Two other transactions earlier ir the day involving the Boston Braves, Pittsburgh Pirates anc Chicago Cues were tossed into 2 subordinate category by this fancy American League swap.
 The Braves disposed of two play CTS, sending pitcher Bill Voiselle tc the Cubs for infielder Gene Maucf and cash and handing over out fielder Mary Riekert to the Pirates for more than Sl0,0o0' plus a minor leaguer to be named later.
 Several other deals-in-the mak- ing, considered red-hot, cooled off considerably. Red Patterson, New York Yankee publicist, announced that "a matter of 23-year-old rookie pitcher" stood between the Yankees and Washington complet- ing a deal involving second baseman George Stirnweiss of New York and first baseman Eddie Robinson of Washington.
 Clark Griffith Washington PresidenD insisted no deal unless we threw in Don Johnson, one of our most promising young pitchers, Patterson said We couldn't see it. so he called the whole thing off. I'd say the deal was dead"
 In a secret meeting yesterday the National League decided to uphold the minor leagues who voted to re- tain the bonus rule. The American League, on the other hand, voted to repeal the controversial rule.
