Job Increase Of $4,000
In Next Eight Months
Here Seen by uses

An additional $4,000 workers
will be needed by Government
agencies here in the next eight
months because of the expanding
defense effort. the District Office
of the United States Employment
Service estimated today.
The estimate was part Of a
study released by USES on the
employment picture in Washing

ton is one Of IL metropolitan
areas classified as tight labor
markets"

additional workers needed in
Washington was based on current
Federal appropriations and may
be increased.

scared to postwar peak of more
than 478,000 in December, USES
said.
Holiday season hiring, together
with an increase in Government
jobs. resulted in 13,40O additions
to the labor force during Decem-
ber. The greatest gain was in
the Government.
USES noted, however, the sharp
increase in December barely re-
flected the large-scale Govern
ment hiring which is anticipated
following the appropriation of
large sums by the last Congress
for newly created and expa nding
defense agencies"
The number of job applications
during December was one-third
below December, 1949, USES said
There were almost 40 per cent
fewer men, 26 per cent fewer wom-
en- seeking jobs, while employers
orders for help are about per
cent more numerous than a year

The grant was made on the

Myrvik has succeeded in extract
ing substance from blood serum
that prevents the growth of tu-
bercle bacilli in test tubes.
Since the substance is present
in greatly increased amounts in
tuberculosis patients it is believed
that it may play an important
role in resistance to tuberculosis.
Under the fellowship Myrvik will
continue his studies to determine
its effects in checking tuberculo-
