Drops Here

Washington area employment
during October dropped $500
workers under the September
total. Fred z. Hetzel, United
States Employment Service di-
rector for the District. reported

At the same time, however
he said. the October total OF
640.700 workers was 1900 above
October Of last year.
In addition. he said. there
were only 10000 unemployed in
October. as against a September
total of 11.400. This unemploy-
ment rate Of about 1.5 per cent
was only about half the rate for
the Nation as a whole.
This falls employment level
generally has been higher than
1855 because of unusually ia
vorsble weather conditions" Mr..
Hetzel said. Outside construction
work particularly has remained
steady.
Employment gains this year
have showed up in food, finance,
insurance and real estate firms.
Drops were noted in automotive
and accessory agencies and in
Federal employment.
During the coming holiday
season, Mr.. Hetzel said, college

bers because Of a tight labor

Attorney General J. Lindsay

Mr.. Gray. a farmer and banker
at Waverley. in SouthSide Vir-
ginia, is a top lieutenant in the
wing headed BY
Senator Byrd.
II am giving serious considera.
ton to running and will have o
statement to make at the proper
time" he declared yesterday.
Considered Maneuver
The comment was Gray's first
on the upcoming gubernatorial
battle.
The statement was viewed a.
intending to hold in line some
political figures that might bt
inclined to join the Almond
camp on the assumption no 9TH
er organization man would be
in the race.
A number Of State legisla-
tors have already leaped on the
Almond gubernatorial wagon
However. some politicians who
are cool toward the 58-year-olc
attorney general have observed
that the Inner circle" of or
ganization leaders have remained
quiet. They also note that none
of Virginia's eight Democratic
Congressman has as yet Endorsed
Almond.
An Almond-Gray race. certain
to be a corker, might also in
crease the likelihood of Delegate
Robert Whitehead entering the
fray to carry the anti-organiza-
ton banner.
Segregation Issue

of another free-for- scramble

two organization men, John S.
Battle and Horace Edwards. and
anti-organization leader Francis
P. Miller slugged it out.
The segregation issue would
undoubtedly figure as the main
theme in the campaigns of AL
mond and Gray. Both have been
leaders in the States effort to
preserve the traditional segre-
gated system, Almond in the
courts and Gray as head of the
32-man legislative commission
set up by Gov. Stanley.

The
Rambler
Scots Sporting
About Sporrons
By JACK JONAS

AS far as we know, DR..
James F. Murphy is the only
sporran maker this side of
Glasgow.
Indeed, we'd be willing to
wager a small sum that he's
the only sporran maker of
Irish descent this side of the
tight little isle, and probably
in the world.
That fact-not that he's
Irish, but that he makes spor-
rans-makes him exceedingly
sought after at this time of
year, what with the st. An
drew's Society tartan ball
coming up a week from to-
morrow at the Shoreham.
The sporran, as anybody
who has looked it up knows,
is a fancy purse worn by Scots
with their kits. This is not
an affectation, but a neces-
sity. kits, it seems, have no
pockets, and there has to be
some place to carry the key
ring, or even money.
DR.. Murphy, who lives and
works as a chiropractor in
Silver Spring, m axes two
kinds of SporranS - formal
and informal. It's a hobby. 1t
developed from another hobby
working with leather-he
picked up while he was in a
Navy hospital recovering from
what he describes as "a beau
tiful case of ulcers"
Although DR.. Murphy'S IA
ther came from the north of
Ireland, and his mother from
the south of Ireland, he comes
by his Scottish background
honestly.
my great great grand =
mother" he points out, was
an Andrew"
Evening star., 1956-11-23

BEFORE HE TURNED to
sporrans, DR.. Murphy made
purses. He's still a bachelor,
and turned out the purses for
his female relatives and his
girl friends.
Then, about four years ago,
he joined the Scottish dance
group of the st. Andrews So
city and found he needed a
Sporran. He made an informal
one of leather.
Then came a formal dance,
and he needed a formal Spor-
ran. Those are elaborate af-
fairs, fur on a silver frame
and decorated with silver
balls and a taSsel.
Il had a silver frame my
grandmother had given me"
DR.. Murphy said, "and a lynx
fur piece. l took those and
made a dress sporran.
Since he got started four
years ago, he's made l7-12
informal and five formal
sporrans. Two of the latter
are fancy affairs of mink,
made from an old mink stole
a girl friend gave him.
They take a lot of time, I"
DR.. Murphy said. "Not long
ago I worked on one with a
friend. We worked together
from 8 o'clock in the evening
until 2 o'clock in the morning.
Then I spent another six or
seven hours finishing it off,"

SINCE SPORRANS are not

SINCE SPORRANS are not
a big item In the United
States, DR.. Murphy spends a
lot OF time looking for mate
rial.
In New York recently for
the Robert Burns 200th ami
versary dinner, he dropped
into a leather goods store and
bought a black and white
calfskin which eventually will
reappear as two formal spor-
rams.
The frames are the hardest
things to come by.
Il couldn't find any sup
plier here" he says, so I
wrote to a firm in Scotland,
asking them to send me two
inexpensive frames and a
dozen silver balls for the
decorations.
Il got a shock yesterday
when got the bill-$2s. The
frames themselves are SIS
each"
DR.. Murphy thinks he'll 60
back to using old frames from
antique purses-if he can find
them.
He's hoping, meantime, that
the frames arrive from Scot
land in time for him to make
himself a new formal Sporran
for the tartan ball.
