unemployment in Tabor CITY
ana the surrounding area did
not decrease during the month
OF June, nor has il been re-
duCed in the first week of
July, according To G.. W.
shooter, manager of the en-
ployment office here.
Shooter said ne did not
know of any other year when
this SitIatIon has existed.
Normally, here and in other
parts of the state and nation.
the number of unemployed
takes a sharp downward turn
as a result of an increase i'm
seasonal jobs.
approximately 40 employ
ment compensation applica-
tons are being processed here
each week, which is substanti-
ally higher than the number
OF applications at this same
PERIOD last year. Shooter said.
me average compensation
being awarded is $40 weekly.
Shooter attributed the unlI-
Sually high rate of applications
10 the new State legislation

"A good illustration of this

fiOSed Coleman OF Cherry
Grove decided last fall that il
was time to do something a.
bout thinning his timber.
Coleman applied to the N. c.
Forest Service to mark a por-
ton of his timber for thin
ming. The Forest Service mark
cd the undesirable, diseased,
crooked and crowded trees on
Vbout 20 acres. Coleman then
hired local pulpwood man
To saw the trees down. With
his stock and farm labor he
pulled the trees to loading
deck beside the road. The loo
al pulpwood man sawed, load
ed and hauled the pulpwood to
a loading station. The thinning
yielded four cords per acre
and the timber stand was in
better condition. He plans to
min a portion of his woodland
each year until the thinning is
| completed.
Robert Wootcn of the West
ern Prong community knows
that a good crop rotation helps
improve his land. He inter-
planted sixteen acres of small
grain and fescue in November
OF 1860 where he will have
tobacco in 1862 and 1863.
Some of the feScue land for
O1oacco in 1868 is Class II soil
with b. erosion factor. This
means that the topSoil is thin
because the farmer before Mr..
/ Nootcn was not Interested in
soil conservation and let the
valuable topSoil wash into the
branch below.
Mr.. Wooten harvested a good
corp of oats and has a perfect
stand of fcscue which will be
ms winter cover for 1861.

highway 1870 southeast of

On June "a that he had tobacco

ANCHORAGE R-TWo mem bers of an Italian party climbing ing Mt. Mckinley withdrew from the expedition because of developing friction between our selves and the leader of the party" they said here today.
 John Stocco of Anchorage and Armand Petrecca, New York City, criticized Riccardo Cassin, Italian mountain climber, for his leadership.
 The remaining seven members of the group, including Robert Goodwin, a Girdwood, Alaska geologist, were on the 2O,32O- foot peak today.
 Stocco, a contractor, and Pet recca, an advertising copywriter, had been acting as interpreters for the party.
 "All was harmony and cordial ity until we were airlifted onto Kahaltna glacier" Stocco said. "Once there, however, Cassin seemed unable to address me ex- cept in terms of rage, contempt and even outright insult"

MacArthur Pays a
 Visit to COrrigador

CORREGIDOR ISLAND, The Philippines tR - General of the Army Douglas Macarthur re- turned Tuesday to Corregidor, the island fortress where he suffered his bitterest defeat at the hands of the Japanese in World War II.
 He returned in triumph but humility, speaking not of the great victory his forces ultimately won 16 years ago but of the hero ism of those who died defending the island in Manila Bay against overwhelming odds.
 The visit lasted only 45 minutes and was the most dramatic of the 81-year- warriors calls since he arrived in Manila July 3 for a sentimental 1O-day visit to the Philippines,
 Macarthur stood on a makeshift platform before several hundred Filipino war veterans who came across the bay to meet him.
 "The name Corregidor has be- come a legend throughout the free world for all time and for all eyes. It is a symbol of liberty" he told them.
 Here and just across the chan nel on Bataan, the Filipino soldier with his American comrades and in his youth and strength, his love and loyalty - gave all that mortality can give"
 The veterans presented Mac Arthur rock from Malinta Tun- nel where he and his forces took shelter from the Japanese bom- bardment.
 At the conclusion of the speak ing program Macarthur returned to President Carlos Garcia's yacht Lapu Lapu and sailed on to Manila.

.LOndOners Give
 Yuri Gagarin a
 HerO's Welcome
By Eddy Gilmore

LONDON R - Shouting, cheer ing and applauding, thousands of Londoners gave Soviet spaceman Yuri Gagarin a hero's welcome Tuesday to the British capital.
 Only 1,500 including loW-rank- ing officials showed Up at London Airport, but thousands lined his 15-mile route into the city.
 Workers poured out of factories :. employees rushed from office buildings and stores :. house. wives dashed from their homes.
 "At some places" police in spector told reporters, "the crowd was as big as the one that greet ed President Kennedy last month, but the overall turnout was far short of the one that welcomed the President.
 Gagarin rode in the front seat of an open Rolls-Royce with special license tag: "YG-1." He was escorted by 22 uniformed motorcycle policemen.
 About 300 people were in front of the Soviet Embassy. These in- cluded Russian children, in white blouses and red ties and scarves, who presented Gagarin an arm ful of roses.
 He was applauded and he in, turn, applauded the applauders.
 The restrained official welcome for Gagarin began to build up.
 Sir Bernard Waley-Cohen, Lord Mayor of London, invited him to House (the mayors off cial home) Thursday.
 Prime Minister Harold Mac Milan has notified the Soviet he too, would like to meet Gagarin that day.
 Queen Elizabeth invited Gaga- rin to lunch at Buckingham Palace on Friday. This will mean that Gagarin's visit will be ex- tended to at least four days.
 Because Gagarin came on a pri- vate visit as the guest of the So- viet Trade Fair, the welcoming committee was headed by a vir- tually unknown civil servant, Francis Turnbull, secretary to Lord Hailsham's Science Ministry.

SAN FRANCISCO R - Dis

 without having been swept into
 San Francisco Bay, agre d
 today the playing conditions
 were the worst they had ever
 encountered.
 Maybe their 5-4 10-inning de-
 feat Tuesday by the Nationals
 had something to do with it.
 Roger Maris, the New York
 muscle man who leads both ma
 jors with his 33 home runs, and
 Rocky Colavito, Detroit's fence
 buster, were the most outSpoken
 of the players who felt the main
 trouble with Candlestick Park was that it was built alongside the bay instead of under it. Even the triumphant National Lea guers had nothing but unkind words to say of the Giants home grounds.
 For seven innings, Candlestick Parks heralded wind was only a myth as far as the players and the 44,115 customers were con- cerned. Consequently, it was a contest of finesse, dignity and occasional brilliance. With Mil waukee's Warren Spahn perfect and Cincinnati's Bob Turkey near-perfect, and Pittsburgh's Roberto Clemente leading the attack against New York's Ford and Washington's Dick Donovan with a triple and sacrifice fly, the Nationals surg ed into 20 lead after the 4th.
 The Americans got one back in the 9th when Minnesota's Harmon Killibrew slammed a home run, their first hit, off Giant Mike Mccormick. That's the way things stood until the 9th when the wind, like a smirk- ing william waiting in the wings, came swirling from the bay to bedevil the pitchers, fielder, batters and even the umpires and turn an unSpectac- ular but uniformly played game into spectacle.
 In the last three innings, the committed five of the games seven errors. In addi- jon, San Francisco's Stu Miller was charged with a balk, New York catcher Elston Howard was guilty of a passed ball and Cin- ,innati outfielder Frank Robin son was hit by a pitch. As if that wasn't enough to make the record turnout wonder whether they were watching Little in- stead of Big Leaguers, National League shortstop Maury Wills was guilty of interfering with Nellie Fox in the 9th and Fox himself was accused of fail ing to touch third base on his way home on the same play. The latter claim was rejected by the umpireS.
