avoiding the head-on crash.

The handsome Symington

has carried talk of him as al
possible Democratic standard

tions. He has been secretary of
the Air Force and in 1850 wasi
chairman Of the National Sci
curity Board.
SymingtOn has insisted through
the hearings that his main IN
terest is the morale of the

"Neutralism" might be de-
fined as a kind Of Western Euro

ing on the part Of many quite
anti-Communist or at any rate
non-Communist Western Euro
peans that they can afford to

An Undermining Process
The growing strength of neu-
tralism and similar attitudes
in the largest Western European
countries has undermined the
willingness Of those govern
mentS to take the kind Of action
which the American govern
ment feels is necessary to stop
the Communist advance.
Neutralism gets its strength
from a lot of different ingredi-
ents.
One of these elements is the
assessment by many Western
Europeans of the changes in
Russia since Stalin's death.

The Army charged that he

Mccarthy himself has made
no public statement as to

A spirituoI U.N.

Can Christians of the world
present a common front?
That's one of the main uues-
tons discussed in American
churches today.
Pick up almost any current
religious publication, and you'll
find the pros and cons of the
subject being analyzed.
Reason for the widespread at
tention focused on the matter is
the forthcoming general assem-
bly, of the World Council of
Churches.
The assembly, in the opinion
of many church authorities, will
be the most significant Christian
gathering of modern times.
1t will be the most widely
embracing one ever held in the
United States, bringing together
Official delegates Of 16O denom-
nations around the world.
Opens Aug. Is
Although .he assembly in
Evanston, ILL.,, doesn't open until
Aug. Is, it has caused an ad-
vance stir of activity, discus
sion, planning and preliminary
meetings.
Both anxious concern and
high expectations are being ex-
pressed.

Business
Employment Rises

Employment Rises
The job situation has i'm
proved in recent weeks.
Total unemployment in the
nation is lower than it was a
month ago.
In manufacturing industries.
says the us. Department of
Commerce, unemployment is a
little higher right now, but the
rate Of climb has not been as
steep as it was earlier this sea-
son.
Seasonal Increase
Much if not all the improve
ment, of course, is due to sea-
sonal factors like warmer
weather, which has spurred hir-
ing in the construction business
and on farms. Jobs almost al
ways become more plentiful in
May. There hasn't been a MAY
since 1888 when payrolls didn't
show an increase.
This being the case, last
months downturn in unemploy-
ment was not particularly i'm
pressive. Government officials
frankly admit that the decline
in May was smaller than it
usually is at this time of year.
While the improvement is not
sensational, it seems to bolster
the position of those economists
who argue that the general de-
cline in business that started
nine months ago has finally
been arrested.
1t also supports the conten-
ton of those who maintain that
there has been no real honest
to-goodness upturn in business
this spring, anG that none is
likely. Conservative economists
now are saying there will be no
important revival of business
activity until fall.
Curve Flattens Out
Undersecretary of Commerce
Walter Williams said recently
that while mo crystal clear,
sharp upturn" has been in evil
dence, at least the long business
decline has been replaced by a
"fattening out process"
Considering the different
positions occupied by different
businesses at any given time in
the business cycle" he ex-
planned, ''it is impossible to call
the turn for all the businessesI
at any one time"
But, he declared, there is
much reason for solid encour-I
agement about the business out

Steel

PrdUda claims Soviet inven-
tors have developed and put into

Cor producing sheet iron more
economically and efficiently than
in the West.
The new technique, said
Prada, makes it possible to get
sheet iron directly from molten
pig iron without first casting
the iron into ingots. The paper
said the method can be applied
to other metals as well as steel.
The common process for maxi
ing sheet iron used by American
plants and previously used in
Russia involves casting the iron
into ingots and then processing
the ingots through various roll
ing mills to obtain the sheet The
Russians claim their method
eliminates the ingot stage en-
t!rcly but there was no indica-
ton of precisely what the proc
ess involved.
PrdOdG claimed the Soviet
metallurgical industry has in
stalled the new equipment in
IS plants and is in the process Of
installing it in 81 others. AS a
result, PrG1dG said, sheet iron
production will be four times as
great as in 1952-5S.

with the Democratic nomination
for congressman in California;
26th District.
Roosevelt defeated his prin-
cipal opponent, Ned Redding, by
a 6-1 margin despite his marital
troubles which had led Stephen
Mitchell, Democratic national

port.
