The survey, conducted by the
Labor Departments Bureau OF
Employment Security and by
State employment security agen-

mites also were more widely dis
tributed geographically than at
the beginning of 1852.
It showed that out of 1872 ma
jor areas all but % had labor
supply generally in balance or
Just moderately in excess of an

OF Safe With $3.50
Despite Heavy Patrol

A safe containing more than
$3.50 was taken from a North
west Washington drugstore last
night.
Police said the 125-pound safe
was carted from the Connecticut
Avenue Drugstore at 1855 Con-
necticut avenue NV.
The loss was discovered this
morning by Melvin Pollack, of
34l9 Tulane drive, West Hyatts-
vile. Nd. a partner in the firm,
when he came to work at $50
am.
The safe contained $1,783 in
cash and about $500 in travel
ers' checks. officials of the
drugstore said the travellers
checks are negotiable, since they
had not been made out to any
one.
The burglars jimmied lobby
door to gain entrance to the drug
store. They were successful in
looting the store despite patrols
maintained by the Bureau Of
Standards, which has an annex
in the long shopping center
building in which the store is
located, and by a private night
watchman hired by firms in the
building.
Four cash registers also were
looted OF an undetermined
amount of cash. The thieves
also took at least two electric

the United States can exchange
