Employment Situation
Much Better This Year,
Labor Report Shows
By the Assoeio.ed Press

The Labor Department said to-
day employment conditions have
improved sharply this year. Great
ing good prospects that 1850 will
be a better employment year than
last"
The departments bureau OF
employment security reported that
between January and March EN-
ployment rose in three-quarters
of the Nations major production
centers and in two-thirds Of the
country's areas of heavy unem-
ployment.
Robert C. Goodwin. bureau di-
rector, said this contrasted sharp
ly with the situation during the
same period of 1949. when "em-
ployment cropped and unemploy-
ment rose in nine out of every 10
major areas surveyed"
so Million Jobs Seen.
Mr.. Goodwin estimated that
when employment reaches its sea-
sonal peak in mid-year. the total
jobs may number over so million.
However, he said. the labor force
has increased substantially since
that figure was set as an employ
ment goal, making it clear that
go million jobs is no longer ade-
quate to meet the employment
needs of the country"
The bureau noted the trend
toward improved employment con-
ditions in an analysis of area labor
market reports from State en-
security agencies.
Employers Optimistic.
Mr.. Goodwin said local employ
ers interviewed by these agencies
in March were generally optimis-
tic regarding the employment out
look. through early summer.
However, the report observed
that in spite Of the reversed en-
ployment trend nationally, there
were more areas Of heavy unem-
ployment than in March. l949.

Polish Red Party Joins
Campaign ofPurgesin
All Soviet Satellites
BY the Assoeiofed Press


LONDON. May 15.-A reported
purge Of Polish Community Party
leaders is the latest development
in q campaign in all the Soviet
satellite countries to tighten Com
munist control and shut out West
ern influence.
Diplomatic sources in Warsaw
said yesterday that government
ministers were bitterly criticized
at last weeks meeting Of the
Polish Communist Party Central
Committee. Complaints ranged
from mismanagement of public
affairs to failure to obey party
directives.
Soviet influence in Poland was
believed strengthened by the APP
pointment to the party's ruling
Politburo of Marshal Konstantin
Rokossovsky, a former Russian
Army commander who now bosses
Poland's army. Another Politburo
appointee was Zenon Nowak, a
veteran Communist believed to be
heading the drive to rid the party
Of Polish Communists who dislike
dictation from Moscow.
Established Pattern Followed.
Political observers here believe
the Polish shake up is following
the pattern established in such
other satellite states as CZecho-
slovakia, Romania, Hungary and
Bulgaria. The purges aim at:
/. Tightening of party discipline
over government ministers and
other party members.
2. Speeding of communication
of the satellite countries.
3. Intensification of attacks for
political purposes on the Western
world.
Western diplomats sum up the
developments in Eastern Europe
as follows:
The aim of the Communist
leaders in general is to blind their
peoples to the West and direct
them into the Communist trail
blazed by Moscow. At the same
time they are sealing off their
countries from inquisitive West
ern eyes.
Incoming News Clicked Off.
The method is simple. Measures
are enforced to choke off all in
dependent, incoming information,
especially from the official western
information services. The result
is a carefully capsuled Communist
version of the world for home
consumption.
The other side of the pattern
brings expulsion or barring of
Western correspondents until the
point is reached where virtually
the only news to the world at
large comes through carefully
screened official handouts and
broadcasts studded with propa-
ganda.

defense Is expected to dominate
the meeting. Secret plans for de-
tense of the West were finished
five weeks ago by defense minis
tiers and generals of the Atlantic
past powers.
At the same time the finance
ministers of the countries in
yolved expressed dismay at the
cost and were doubtful it could
be paid without bringing or
economic misery.
The generals want full-scale
defenses set up. by 1882 in the
belief that Russia will reach the
peak of her power then and may
be tempted to military conquest
The United States already is
pumping 81 billion worth of guns

As science unravels the mystery of child growth
one fact stands out: Your child cannot de-
velop properly in body or brain unless ALL
the essential food elements are eaten.
Scientific findings prove the following group OF
common foods supplies ALL the essential food
elements Meat, Milk Bread, Fruit, Eggs and
both Green-Leafed and Yellow Vegetables.
As the chart shows, Wonder Bread is very.
valuable-because it helps children grow big
ger and stronger ways.
Good For Growth And Energy
Growing children need TWICE the protein
per pound of body weight as grownups.
Penny for penny, Wonder Bread gives your
child 24%o more bodybuilding protein than
the average of meat, milk, fish and eggs.
Growing children require energy for work and
play.
Wonder Bread is a substantial energy food.
More quickly converted into energy than fat.
And better in protein for child growth.
