JOBLESS COUNT T0 BE DIRECTED

BY PROGRESSIVE

Biggers Comes From Field Of ‘Economic Royalism’ Despite Views.

By CHARLES T. LUCEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. — A conviction - that if government is to have an increasingly greater hand in business, business leaders should know more about government and be more active in it, helped John David Biggers decide to take over direction of the nation’s coming jobless count.

The motor industry had its eye on him during this climb. Detroit tried to get him to come there, but while Libbey and Owens lived, he refused. Mr. Libbey died in 1925 and the morning after his funeral Joseph Graham, of the Graham
