IModernizing Carrier
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Aug. %
The Aircraft Carrier USS Lake
Champlain was moved into the
Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Co. yesterday to undergo
extensive modernization.
Work on the 27,0O0-ton Essex
type carrier was started imme-
diately. The Office of the Navy's
supervisor of shipbuilding at the

Hoarding is foolish. Despite
the fighting in Korea there is nc
immediate prospect of food ration

Farm Placements
Make A Record

A record breaking number Of
farm placements in June brought
the total number of jobs filled
by the Employment Service of the
Ohio Bureau of Unemployment
Compensation to 42,064 for the
month, new postwar high.
This was reported today by
Frank J. Collopy, Administrator
OF the Ohio Bureau of Unemploy-
ment Compensation, who said 49,
893 farm jobs were filled during
June.
Last year June placements to-
tailed some 25, 133, of which 1923
We're farm placements.
The Bureaus farm placement
service has shown a remarkable
growth since January, 1913, Col
lopy explained. Agricultural place
ments reported in the first half
OF 1850 were 80 per cent above
the corresponding period of 1949
He also explained that the num-
Der OF persons now seeking jobs
through the Bureaus 81 local of
flces has dropped for the third
successive month to 162, 1893 at
the end of June.
A II per cent drop in the num-
Der OF men seeking work more
than offset 4 per cent increase
in the total number Of women joL
seekers.
Collopy also stated the number
of placements during the first
six months of 1850 was 25 pei
cent ahead of the comparable first
six months of 1949
All occupational industrial
groups shared in this gain with
the exception of professional anc
managerial jobs, Collopy said
Placements of professional anC
managerial personnel is running
9 per cent behind last year.
During June a record breaking
1865 individuals were given profi.
cheney tests and Bureau special.
lists made 10,937 calls on employ.
ers in June to help them witt
their personnel needs.

Ohio Ranks 46th
In Road Status

Washington, y. G., July 20
Ohios highways won't meet the
demand of 1950's traffic for near

national good roads organization
reported today.
Actually, Ohio's motorists face
an even worse highway picture,
Col. +. r. Needles, president Of

ing the present year, new high

is expected to reach the $1,000, 600
mark. Col. Needles, a New York
consulting engineer, cited an IL
percent rise in u. S. traffic fa-
talitieS in the first four months
of this year as one of the high
