Mr.. Forand already has expressed
his support of the provision to give
jobless benefits to Federal work
ers.
Chances aren't too strong that
the 81st Congress will have enough
time to enact such legislation in
the few weeks it will be in session.
However, the bills sponsors feel
that hearings will pave the way for
quicker action on the measure
when the 82d Congress convenes
in January.
Federal employe groups are par
ticularly interested in the bill.
since Government workers have no
form of unemployment compensa-
ton benefits at present.
EMPLOYMENT - Government
employment increased by $4,000
persons during September. 1t now
totals 1904, 400.
In Washington, Federal employ
ment rose by 800 during the
month, for a new total of 218,800.
An interesting note is that while
the defense agencies added 44.600
new workers. this was offset some
what by the 10000 reduction in
personnel made by the monde
fense agencies. The Agriculture,
Interior and Post Office Depart
ments led in the number of reduc-
tions.

Three National Armies
To Battle Reds Forecast
BY the Associoted Press


Anh-Communist allies of the
French in Indo-China are ex-
pected by American officials to be
reorganized soon into three ma
tional armies with an ultimate
total strength of 10000 or more.
The military reshuff1e has been
favored by the United States to
help cope with Moscow trained Ho
Chi Minis revolt. Diplomatic in
formants forecast an announce
ment from Saigon and Paris, pos
sibly within the next few days,
that it has been put into effect.
The anticipated immediate re-
suit is to shift more prestige and
authority from the French to
former Emperor Bao Dai, chief
of the new state of Wet Nam,
and the kings of Laos and Cam
bodia. The reported plan is to
give them command of their own
forces. which would fight with the
French as equals and allies rather
than as colonial subordinates.
All this is calculated to mean
wider popular support and higher
morale, and later on more man
power, for the American-sup-
ported fight to keep strategic
Indo-C China out of Communist
control. The State Department
has been following the policy of
promoting nom -Communist Asiatic
nationalism.
Meantime, despite the French
reverses along the Red China bor-
der, American diplomatic officials
say they are cautiously optimistic
over prospects for halting Hos
advance along the new defense
line in the Red River Valley.
American arms are being sped to
the new fighting front under pri-
critics second only to shipments

Prices Highest
Since 1913

Washington-The Federal Reserve
Board told Congress prices are
higher now than any time in history
except for the all-time peak reached
in August and September 1913.
The board feared SERIOUS prob
lens OF gray markets and spiraling
prices"
Even before the attack by the
communist north Koreans, IN June
Is" the board noted. prices were
rising and we were i'll a potentially
inf~lationary situation. Because Of
developments i'll the past few weeks,
it is imperative that steps be taken
10 reduce or defer civilian demands
and to lessen inflationary p%ressures.'
As indicators OF the trend, the
board cited record sales OF automo-
bile and houses, and the price in
creases that started in March and &C
celebrated after the Korean invasion.
Prices of % basic commodities adj
vanced III per cent IN one month
after the fighting began. while the
all-commodity index OF wholesale
prices rose I per cent. the board re-
ported.
Consumer prices are now higher
than at any other time. except for
4 short period in the latter part Of
l948," the board said.
The expansion OF mortage and con-
sumner credit was described as one
OF the major inflationary factors,
with 000,0OO,0W annually in the
last 4 years and the home mortage
debt more than doubling since the
end OF World War III.

Cincinnati is one OF the hotties

figure out the odds have tabled the
Reds at $50 to | against their win

but this Cincinnati club will bear

pitching department. They also have
some pretty good h%itters. Manager
Luke Sewell is doing a great job and
i'll case you've forgotten. Sewell is
the same BOSNIAN who skippered
the St. Louis Browns TO their only
pennant in 1914.
Here are the odds OH other teams
in the National league, as OF today /:
Philadelphia, 2H to | against their
winning Boston and ST. Louis are
3 TO l.; Brooklyn, 3 to l., Chicago
and New York 10 Otto /. and Pitts

their winning New York is II to

Washington, Chicago, and Philadel-
