STATE FIGURE

8 of 14 Major Groups Show Gain in Employment; Anderson Leads.

A steady upswing of business trends in recent months was indicated in Indiana in October, the State Unemployment Service reported today. Although. an incomplete survey conducted by the Employment Service and the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showed only a 1.3 per cent rise in employment and a .3 per cent drop in payrolls from Oct. 15 to Nov. 15, completion of the survey is expected to show more improvement, it was reported. State officials said that more than 900 reports yet to be received, including those from the steel plants in the Calumet region, probably will show large gains.- :

Covered 138,794 Workers

The study covered 138,794 wage earners in manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. Final tabulations are expected to show a small incréase in payrolls and a larger gain in employment. With eight of the 14 major groups studied showing higher employment levels, manufacturing industries made a contraseasonal advance from mid-October to midNovember. Durable goods manufacturers again led the advance, with six of seven major groups showing employment. and payroll incredses. Reports from 431 plants producing heavy goods showed increases of 3.1 per cent in employment and. 1.5 per cent in payrolls. = | : ~The nondurable goods industries reported drops of 1.3 per cent in Smployzient and 4.3 per cent in payrolls. :

Clay, Stone Jobs Increase

. Notable among the advances in manufacturing industries were the contraseasonal increases of 5.9 per cent in employment and 5.7 per cent in payrolls in the clay, stone and glass products group. Other increases were made in the nonferrous metals products, machinery, railroad repair shops, transportation equipment and rubber products. Better than seasonal gains in retail trade were largely responsible for increases in nonmanufacturing employment and payrolls during the period studied. Largest gain in employment made in the state was in Anderson, with an increase of 13.7 per cent. Largest payroll increase was made in Kokomo with a gain of 13 per cent. Unemployment compensation benefits payments in the third week of November were $207,000 less than the third week in October and 7500 persons left benefit rolls last - month for employment, according to department figures.

HOME OF ENGLAND’S ROYALTY FOR RENT

LONDON, Dec. 2 (U. P.).—The birthplace of the Duke of Windor and home of British royalty for 209 years is for rent. . The White Lodge, Richmond, where Lord Lee of Fareham and his American-born wife entertained friends from the United States for the last 11 years, the girlhood home of Queen Mary, and to which the Duke of York, now king, took his bride, is on the market at a “reduced

But any prospective purchaser of the lease must be prepared to pay at least $12,500 a year in rent, rates and taxes, for although White Lodge is a royal residence and one of the .three “grace and favor” residences within Richmond Park, the tenancy of which is the King’s gift, this privilege ceased when Lord Lee took over the tenancy 11 years ago.

EXPECT WALKER BACK IN CAPITAL

Washington Observers Assert Ex-NEC Head Will Take Key Job Soon.

Times Special WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—Frank C. Walker, former National Emergency Council director, is reported here to have been invited to return to the New Deal in a key administrative post. One story is that he will become WPA administrator. Reports vary as to whether Harry L. Hopkins will step out of the New Deal or be shifted to a new post. Despite. inspired dispatches that Mr. Hopkins would be made Secretary of Commerce, Secretary Roper has denied any irftention of resigning that office. When President Roosevelt accepted Mr. Walker's resignation from the NEC three years ago, he did so “with the understanding that you will return to Government service in Washington as soon as your private business has been put in order.” Mr. Walker is a Pennsylvaniaborn lawyer reared in Butte, Mont., who moved to New York some years ago as attorney for an uncle who owned. a theater chain. He helped raise money for the Roosevelt preconvention campaign in 1932, and was treasurer of the Democratic Party during the postconvention campaign. . The President is said to place great reliance in him.

Ding, Dong

Bells Now Swinging It At Block’s Ring by Remote Control.

HE bells in Block’s windows are bells in shape only and ring themselves electrically by remote control. They actually are built of paper mache and the largest weighs no more than seven pounds. . But the clapper of one of them touches an electrical something which strikes the “ding,” or high note, as it swings one way, and the “dong,” or low note, the other. The “ding” is a brass chime 30 inches high while the “dong” is 36 inches high. Both are concealed back of the window, together with an an electric motor 15 inches high which swings the bells. 8 os ” HE first time the bells were used as a department store display was last year at Lord & Taylor's, New York, and they caused such a sensation that their designer and inventor, Albert Bliss, New York, has made a small fortune already. A. J. Doeder, Block’s display director, said he started dickering in June for the bells and didn’t have an easy moment until October, when they were in the store. He built a dummy show window and tried them out in the workshop before putting them in the window. It took 15 men a full day to install them, but since then all they have had to do is oil the motor that runs them daily.

GETS HIS MAN BY GIVING HIM A LIFT

ST. JOSE H, Mo.- Dec. 2 (U. P.).—Lawrence Seals thought he was lucky when a car driver stopped and gave him a lift on a highway near here. “You going into St. Joseph?” the _ driver asked. Seals said he was and the man said he’d take him right downtown. As they were passing the County Jail, however, the driver stopped and his manner changed. “Get out slowly and don’t run,” he ordered. “I'll shoot you if you make a move.” The driver was Deputy Sheriff John Hawkins and he had recognized his guest as a convict who had escaped from the State Prison at Jefferson City.
