ance claims showed new claims

ceding week.
Continued claims, representing
idle workers who have been on
the rolls at least a week. also
had dropped another $4,000 to a
total of 2.072.000.
Since the Commerce Depart
ments census figures of Thursday,
showing employment was up to
almost 60,0O0.000 while unemploy-
ment fell below 100000, there
have been additional signs of i'm
provements. The census figares

Meanwhile, the President t's
