he asked them to forego price increases
in the national interest.
The Presidents action is sound and
both business and labor should respond
to the call to hold down initiation in the
coming years. The test for President
Kennedy may come if and when some
unjustified strike is called, to back up
demands for steep and inflationary
wage boost.
If the Democratic President then in
tervenes to head off initiation and mod
crate labor's demands, a milestone will
have been reached in Democratic Party
history and a desirable turn will have
been witnessed on the y. S. scene.

Unemployment Down

THE Labor Departments latest sta
tistics, for the October-November
period, reveal an Improvement in the
unemployment rate, which has been
major source of concern, to both the
Eisenhower and Kennedy administra-
tons, for two years.
There are still about 100000 Amer
leans unemployed, but the rate in No
vember was an improvement over that
of October, falling from 6.8 percent to
about 81 percent.
Some who list themselves as unem-
ployed are those who can find work but
not the kind to which they might have
become accustomed. Some actors and
actresses, for example, dash to the UNI
employment office when they can find
no suitable part in a play or on televi-
sion, to fit their talents!

Armed Bandit Robs Cabbie

An armed but unmasked bandit early this morning pulled a gun from under his jacket and showed it in front of Mecca Cab Driver Dick Parke and subsequently, re- lieved him of about $65 in cash.
 The bandit had gone to the Mec- ca Cab Stand where he was picked up as fare to the Beachcombers at about 1 am. by driver Dick Parke On the way to the Beach combers at about the junction of Spruce Street and Mission Road the man, who was sitting alongside Parke on the front seat, pulled a gun from under his belt and jacket and asked, Do you know what this is? Parke replied, "Of course, it's a nine-shot p calibre pistol" !" The man put the gun back inside his jacket and when the cab ap- preached the BeachcomberS he again whipped it out, pointed it at Parke and said: 'This is the real thing. .. keep driving"
 Parke drove on down to the Mill Bay road cutoff and then on to about where the planes are parked alongside Big Lake where the ban dit ordered him to stop. The gum man then tore the radio phone out and took about $65 from Parke's wallet.
 He then walked around and, using his left hand, shook hands with Parke and told him mot to do anything foolish" Whereupon the cabbie left the scene without any further urging. He drove on into town to the police station and re- ported the incident.
 Police Chief Vickery was on hand and immediately called the Montmartre and gave them a de- scription of the bandit and told them to keep a lookout for him. Three suspects were checked out within short time by police of ficers. State Patrolman Hussey is out of town at present so the city police handled the matter.
 The gunman was described by Parke as being about 30 years old, weighs about 40, about 5'7" tall, has a protruding lower lip and is wearing black leather jacket and peaked bill cap. Police are contin- uing their search for the gunman at this writing.
 This is believed to be the first armed robbery in Kodiak.
