Employment Security
Urges Employers To
List Job Openings

S. Gilbert Brown, manager of
the Silver Spring office of the
State of Maryland, Department of
Employment Security, revealed to-
day that the steadily increasing
stream of unemployed workers who
have been registering for work
showed its first sign of decline
during the month of March. AS of
April 1, the active files showed that
there were 500 people registered
for work as compared with the
S01 realized as of February 20.
During March 1876 applicants
found jobs through the local office.
This is an increase of SAG over
February 1850. The majority of
the 1853 job openings received from
employers during March were
filed. Br. Brown urges all en-
ployers to avail themselves of this
pool of job seekers. He suggests
that they phone Shepherd 1920 and
list their openings with the office.

the Federal Government is now oc-

that he is a menace to the country's

Bridges said.
He was still on the stand when
court adjourned for the luncheon

Outside of court, special prosecu-
tor F. Joseph Donohue, who recently
obtained Bridges conviction on a
perjury charge, remarked to news
men that he did not believe he
would have to cross examine him
very long.
Newsmen got the impression DON
ohue believed the things Bridges
was saying were corroborating the
governments accusation that he
had been following the Communist
party line while free on bail.
