Labor Secretary GOLDBERG
predicts a significant" decline
in unemployment will result
from rising industrial produc-
ton and increased consumer
spending.
A significant" drop would be
a reduction of at least one
half of one percentage point in

jobleSs rate, Mr.. Goldberg said
at an impromptu press confer
ence yesterday. He did not pin
down the date of the antici-
pated improvement.
Much of the recent rise in
consumer spending, he said,
stems from the increased mini
mum wage, which took effect in
September.
Mr. Goldberg talked to re-
porters after addressing the
closing session of the AFL-CIO
Industrial Union Department
convention at the Statler- Hill

When" asked a question:
er at a newspaper seminar,
will the papers quit report
ing news of the great inter-
n a tional controversies in
terms of daily victories and
defeats? Must one side either
win or lose in each days re-

The question is a legiti-
mate one. 1t also is one which
for some time has concerned
those who understand that
free, responsible journalism
Of the printed page and tele-
vision has much at stake.
(There isn't much that can
be done about those radio
news announcers who SEEM
ingly feel they must pant

news bulletins which came in
hours before.)
The late Dag Hammar-
skiold had an intense dislike
of what he called diplomacy
by loudSpeaker." This led
him to lean over backward
in avoiding interviews and
public statements. Adlai Ste
venson, who accepted the
Hammarskjold concept, has
produced grumbling by some
of the United Nations press
corps because, they say. he
is not sitting through routine
sessions and attending all
the innumerable receptions
and cocktail parties given by
the more than 100 member
nations.
Yet there now is general

ingly given) that Ambassador

The tone of the meeting was
both youthful and confident.
Yesterday the 12-State chair
men elected 31-year-old Writ
Yerger, jr., the party leader in
Mississippi, as head of their
regional association.
On hand to symbolic what

ing as a grass roots revolution

Mayor of Mobile, Ala, a Re-
publican State representative

Republican city councilmen
from Atlanta, all elected since
last November.
A Seats Needed
Chairman Bob Wilson of the
Republican Congressional Cam
paign Committee told yester-
days opening session of the
conference that Republicans
must elect at least eight new
Representatives in the South
next year in order to regain
control of the House. National
ly, the G. o. P. would have to
pick up A seats to win a one
vote majority.
Hopes for reaching the South
ern quota rest on predictions
that Republicans can pick up
at least two seats each in Flor
ida and Texas. plus one or two
seats in Kentucky, North Car
DINA and Virginia and perhaps
other States.

A week ago, Negro organiza-

charged that Negroes had been
barred from attending the func-
ton, at which Secretary of De-

Atlanta Negroes have partici-
pated in G. o. P. activities for
many years and in 1860 the
Negro precincts here were
among the few in the South to
give former Vice President
Nixon a majority.
Some Negro Republican
county chairmen from outside
Atlanta told reporters last
