Rise Of Million

BY LEE M. COIN
Star stan Writer


The Kennedy administration
is basing its immediate eco
nomic plans on the premise
that the number of unemployed
workers has increased by one
million or more in the last
month.
Mr., Kennedy indicated yes
ter0ay that he, intends to take
fast action-probab in a mat
ter of days-to try to alleviate
unemployment.
After comforting about UNI
employment and other matters
with Arthur j. Goldberg, the
incoming Secretary of Labor,
Mr.. Kennedy assured a group
of labor leaders that he will
try to get the economy ahead
faster.
1t was Mr.. Goldberg who told
reporters that the number of
unemployed workers probably
has increased from as million
last month to at least SIS mil.
lion now. He said his estimate,
based on preliminary data com.
piled by the Labor Department,
was conservative"
An unemployment total of
SIS million in January would
equal a seasonally adjusted job
less rate Of about SO per cent,
UP from So per cent last month.
AFL-CIO president George
Meany predicted at a press
conference that the January
unemployment rate, when 1t is
announced next month, will
exceed z per cent.

in the gutter. There is no where else for them to throw

could make it clear to him that representation has been
made on behalf Of the people in Saint Croix, because we

would like, because there are quite a number of them
