a Ike Gives New Pre-Eleetion Ammo To GOP In Giting Unemployment Drop In Major Talk By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH WASHINGTON —President Ei- senhower passed out new pre-elec- tion ammunition to fellow Repub- licans last night in saying unem- ployment has dropped 400,000 to a new total of 2,700,000, below three million the first time this year. The chief executive, increasingly active in the home stretch for con- tinued GOP control of Congress, also focused nationwide attention on the administration in the for- eign affairs field a few hours’ ear- lier through the first telecast and broadcast of a Cabinet meeting. And reports persisted the Presi- dent may take to the road again late this week to lend a personal hand once more in the campaign. ‘The White House described as “nonpolitical” both last night’s TV- radio Cabinet session on the new European defense alliance against communism and the President’s major speech 3% hours later deal- ing in part with unemployment, a major campaign issue. Privately, however, presidential aides were elated over Eisenhow- er’s two nationwide appearances on radio and television in a single evening with the elections just a week off. And, also privately, they voiced hope the appearances will benefit the GOP cause at the polls Nov. 2. There has been talk that party leaders have been getting word to the White House they would like Eisenhower to make a two-day flying trip into Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Massachusetts and Del- aware for a round of speeches. A White House official said possi- bility had been discussed by that Eisenhower had not been sounded out, - The President's discussion of the Page 10 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN unemployment situation, theme of Democratic criticism of the ad- ministration in several congres- sional races, came in an address to members of the National Se- curity Industrial Assn. here. He called 1954 “our most pros- perous peacetime yeur in histo- ty,” but added that’ “in certain in- dustries and localities some unem- ployment still exists as the after- math of war and inflation.” He said “good progress is being made” toward reducing jobless- ness. Then, departing from his pre- pared text, he said he had just received this “latest report” on unemployment: “In this morth, it (unemploy- a has been reduced by 400,000 jobs. “In that period unemployment has fallen from 3,100,000 to 2,700,- 000.” Then the President announced that Secretary of Labor Mitchell, in a nationwide telecast. tonight, will ‘give to the public all of the facts we have on this employment and unemployment situation.” That undoubtedly means the Re- publicans are ready to hit back again at the Democrats, who have been contending the Eisenhower administration has pursued policies which breed unemployment and has shown callousness toward the jobless. Eisenhower’s speech was mainly a rosy account of the nation’s éc- onomic health, coupled with this forecast: “Drawing on the richly varied abilities of our entire citizenry, we can foresee that in less than a dec- ade the national output will in- crease from today’s 356 billion dol- Jars to 500 billion.

Over 62 million people have jobs. The number is steadily increasing. The hours of work are getting longer. Consumers are spending at a high- er rate than ever before. “Construction records are being broken month by month. Wage rates are at their all-time peak. Weekly earnings in manufactur- ing are again on the rise. _ “Our people have more personal income after taxes than ever be- fore. Our national production sur- Passes even the war peak year of 1944. It is far above the levels of 1945 through 1952.” The President said “chaos and economic despair’ have been avoided because, for one reason, “taxes were cut” by $7,400,000,000 during his administration, And he declared—as he has sev- eral times during the campaign— “We must continue to reduce the cost of government so we can have more tax cuts.” Looking again to the future, Ei- senhower said the “most impor- tant” thought he wanted to leave with Americans “‘is that only when we win the struggle for per- manent peace can we devote the full power of this mighty country of ours to the advancement of hu- man happiness.” In his announcement of the new ‘ aapsae total, the President jumped ¢ gun on the normal government timetable for such reports. Since the present system of a joint re- port by the Labor and Commerce departments was instituted last May, the figures for each month have been issued between the 7th and 10th of the following month. In this case, that would have de- layed the announcement until af- ter next week’s elections. The Bureau of Standards’ elec- tronie brain, called Univac, was reported to have worked through- out the weekend to get the report ready for Eisenhower’s announce- ment last night. At the earlier precedent-setting telecast and broadcast of the Cabi- net meeting at the Whie House, the President listened intently — doodling occasionally on a scratch pad—as Secretary of State Dulles reported to him, fellow Cabinet of- ficers and the nation at large on the European defense alliance agreements signed at Paris last Saturday. Dulles predicted ratification of the agreements by the signatory countries’ parliaments, and he forecast failure for Soviet attempts to smash the new defense plan, An experienced picker with a hand scoop can harvest 100 pounds of cranberries an hour.
