UNEMPLOYMENT UP:
Labor Secretary Sees
Living Costs Stabilize.
WASHINGTON (W)-Secretary of Labor James Mitchell said yes-
terday -he believes the cost of living-now at a record high-has
reached a-peak and should level off.
While Mitchell had good news for consumers, he foresaw a
rise in unemploymeat early next year.
The secretary refused at a news conference to estimate how many
more than the'present 2%million will be hunting jobs but said some
increase would result from a decline in business activity and capital
spending. Some government economists have predicted unemployment

He told the Society of Prof es-

"The most disturbing situation
with which we have to deal is the
gangster, hoodlum, racketeer, and
even. the Mafia infiltration of some
labor unions. The implications of

rectify the situation.
Second, it is obvious that. there
is some corrective federal legisla-

funds. The committee is already
studying these areas as well as
others for some possible remedial
legislation.

"Third, support must be given

"Finally, for the job to be done,

last month represented an increase
of almost 600,000 over the same
period in 1956. {
The top this year was about
3,244,000 in January.
Mitchell said unemployment fig-
ures are almost bound to show an
increase in February, generally the
worsttime of year for employment.
He said the trend would continue
through" next spring but declined
to speculate beyond that.
Whatever the rise, he contended
it would not be critical and.noth-

set as a figure for unemployment

Mitchell said he was not trying
to "characterize" his forecast of a
stabilized cost of living. This was
in reply to a question as to whether
it suggested an impending reces-
sion.
The Labor Department's con-
sumer price index, which measures
living costs, climbed fpr the 13th
month in a row to 121.1 per cent
of the 1947-49 base period in Sep-

Red Su'M'it
Talks Exclude
Yugoslavian
LONDON (M)The Communist
powers issued a communique last
nighit on the Red summit talks in
Moscow.
It pointedly omitted mention of
Yugoslavia as a participant.
Western diplomats with a pipe-
line to Moscow said there were
indications of a disagreement be-
tween Yugoslavia and the dozen
other nations represented over
terms of the document, and the
Yugoslav delegation refused to
sign.
-Vice President Edvard Kardelj
headed the delegation in the ab-
sence of President Tito who
stayed home for treatment of
what- was called an attack of lum-
bago.
Tito's illness was interpreted in
some Western quarters as an im-
plied rebuke to the Kremlin for
ousting Marshal Georgi Zhukov
from his military and political
posts last month. Zhukov had just
returned to Moscow from- a visit
to Yugoslavia and neighboring Al-
bania.l

SENATORS TOLD:
Rosenberg Gave Russians
SaefeSertSays 'p
PHILADELPHIA (A)-Senate Red probers said yesterday convicted
atom. spy David Greenglass told them in a prison interview -that Julius
Rosenberg carried earth satellite, atom-powered airplane and anti-
missile secrets to the Russians shortly after World War -II.
Counsel Robert Morris of the Senate Internal Security subcom-
mittee described yesterday's interview: with Greenglass at a sub-
comrpittee hearing In Philadelphia.
Greenglass is a prisoner in the federal penitentiary at Lewisburg,
where Morris talked with him before flying to Philadelphia. Greenglass
was a brother-in-law of Rosenberg, executed with his wife, Ethel, in
1953. for giving United States atom'
secrets to the Soviet Union.,
Officer Testifies
At the Philadelphia hearing, a
former Soviet army officer testi-
fled that Russians kidnapped some
2,000 German scientists -between
1944 and 1947.
They included missile scientists
and experts in the fields of elec-"
tronics and chemicals, said Vladi-
mir Shabinsky- of New York City,
who identified himself as a lieu-
tenant colonel in the Soviet army
until 1947..
"My leaders told me and other
officers in Germany after World
War II that the United States was.
our No. 1 enemy," Shabinsky- said.
Stealing Secrets '
Earlier, Morris told the sub-
committee session, presided 'over
by Sen. Butler (R-Md.), "Green-
glass told us that Rosenberg was

Morris also interviewed Harry
Gold, another convicted atom spy,
and fellow prisoner of Greenglass Stow a
at Lewisburg.
Morris stressed what he saidE so
were demands placed on Gold by
his espionage leaders that he acr
quire American "processes rather e
than mere theories. . .at

LONDON ("P) - Prime Minister
acmillan announced yesterday
will go to Paris Monday to see
emier Felix Gaillard. Plainly hisI
ssion will be to smooth rulfled[

Macmillan told the House of
mmons he and Gaillard will

NATO powers.
Diplomatic sources in London
i Gaillard is expected to press
two guarantees from Macmil-
1) That there will be no repe-
ion of British and American
ms shipments to Tunisia. -
2) That France and other Euro-
an countries will- not be as-
ned a secondary role in NATO

Both these questions were dis-
seed in Washington tlis week

essing optimism on both counts.

One-third of his business,
Stegeman estimated, is with Uni-
versity students or instructors.
All his tenants live in apartments
for from one to four occupants.
The cost of 'his apartments,
Stegeman said, is the chief reason
why he rents to a comparatively.
small number of students. Like-
wise, only'.a ,scattering of foreign
students, Indians and Latin Amer-'
icais for the most part, have been
among his tenants.
At present, he continued, he has
no Negro tenants, but this is due
to no objection on his part. Some
Negroes apply, Stegeman said, and
he agrees on the condition that
he ask the neighbors first.
Offers Apartment
Once, Stegeman continued, a
young Negro came around and
asked about an apartment. "Iof-
fered him an apartment on Ged-
des, but .he never came back. I
guess he represented some organi-
zation, trying me out."
Despite care in selecting tenants
and equal care in selecting fur-
nishings, Stegeman finds "some
people just don't care. Tables
come out of a year's tenancy cov-
ered with one big scar from cig-
arettes. Property doesn't matter
to some people if it's not ,their
own."

thing modern, Stegeman's pride

Members of Panhellenic who will help set up a study of the effects

of Delegates meeting.
Patricia Ellis, '59, Barbara Jones, '59, Sara Morgan, '59, and Mary
McMullen, '59, will work with four women from Assembly and one
member of Student Government Council to decide what areas and
problems should be considered.
Survey Research will work with the committee. They will make
up the questionnaire, distribpte and interpret them.
This is being done "in order to remove emotional feelings on both
sides of the fence and at the same time include all areas that should
be covered," said Dianne Duncan,4
nor responsibly in dealing with the
present crisis in American tech-
nology, Prof. Leland Stowe of the,
journalism department declared
yesterday.
Prof. Stowe, former foreign cor-
respondent for the New' York
Herald Tribune and Chicago Daily
News, listed four areas in which
American failings contrast' with
Russian successes culminating in
the launching of the Sputniks.
First, the journalism professor'
listed inferior grade school train-
ing in the United States. Russian
secondary schools, he said, have
increased science to 53 per cent
of the curriculum. In this country,.
Prof. Stowe said, the total of quali-
fied'science and mathematics In-
structors has declined 50 per cent
in the past five years.
Second; the Soviets pay college
faculty. .Members two to three,
times as much as their American'
counterparts. -'
In the face of the present crisis,
Prof. Stowe; said President Mien-.
hower has said 7e need to pay our
army more, but hasn't 'mentioned
teachers.'
Prof. Stowe's third point was the
waste of potential scienticts in the
American educational system.
Forty per cent ofthose in the top
quarter of, high school graduates
in IQ fail to go on to college, he
pointed out. If this weren't enough,
he continued, the number of col-
lege, graduates majoring in science
was down 58 per cent in the years
1950-55.
All this, Prof. Stowe declared,
indicates a fourth failing, a crisis
in our national leadership. He pre-
sented a remark attributed to
Winston Churchill, "This never
would have happened if President
Eisenhower had been alive."
The president, Prof. Stowe said,
has been ill-informed and inat-
tentive. He read from reports at
the president's dispbsal, revealing,
that our lag behind the Russians
shouldn't have been so unexpected.
