long-stalled cases. The Chief Justice,
in opening the Supreme Courts fall
session, stressed that while substantial
progress" in speeding up trials is ex-
pected, "thiS cannot be done overnight :"
He explained that in many of the dis
tricts and circuits there are no quarters
for the new judges, and there are other
problems that must be solved before
they can function adequately" Improved
administration will be sought Ito make
the most of our judge power" he said.
While the Administrative Office of
United States Courts and administrative
officials of the various courts will have
to resort to improvisation in finding
room for some of the new judges, Con-
gress undoubtedly will be called on at
the next session to consider means for
permanent solution of the space and
related troubles besetting the expanded
court system. For 1t would be absurd
to give the Federal courts plenty of new
judges without giving them the facil-
tiles needed to do their work efficiently.

BecoImed Statistic

There are only few grains of mild
encouragement in the nationwide en-
ployment statistics for September, re-
leased by the Department Of Labor this
week. Both employment and unemploy-
ment declined, but the fact that job
leSSness was not reduced in a greater
measure was described frankly by de-
partment spokesman as a diSappoint-
ment. (The effect of Hurricane Carla
on agricultural workers and the return
to school of working students were
factors in the decline in total employ
ment.) For the tenth consecutive month,
most Of which have been in the span
of the current recovery cycle, the I'M
employment rate was just below per
cent-in this case 6.S per cent.
Even so, there were few figures
in which the analysts took warranted
satisfaction. One was drop, from 81
to ST. per cent, in the rate of unemploy-
ment among adult males, the category
covering most of the Nations family
providers. Another was about double
the normal seasonal decline in long
term unemployment, and most Of that
among persons who had been out of
work for six months or more. Another
was decrease in Short-week employ
ment among workers who normally are
full-time employees.
In the face of their admitted dis
appointment, however, Government
statisticians still expressed confidence
that the October returns will show a
greater than seasonal improvement and
that joblessness will fall below million
for the first time in twelve months. Co
incidentally, Secretary of Commerce
Hodges predicted that retail sales, which
have been tagging in the general bust
ness recovery, will pick up substantially
in this first month Of the final quarter.
1t is in the unemployment area,
of course, that the administration faces
its greatest domestic challenge-polit-
ically and economically. While setting
4 per cent as an acceptable rate, 1t has
been forced since coming into office to
live month after month with the figure
close to 7 per cent. AS near-term goal,
spokesman have aimed at breaking
below the 6 per cent level by year-end.
But stronger than seasonal movement
will be needed now to reach this obiec-
tive. Unless there is a more robust
improvement by January, the next
session of Congress undoubtedly will be
urged and greatly tempted to push
through an expanded public works pro-
gram. In an election year, the party in
power will be reluctant to face a
campaign with a heavy backlog of
unemployment.
