Unemployment WASHINGTON. April 2,—(AP)—- Officials said today that the spurt Iillnblessness in the United States reached a turning-point in March and will yield to a strong seasonal improvement this month. The firm tone of sales and pro- ductlon, plus a probable winter re- cord in building activity. led to a general View in the Truman ad- ministration that no "emergency- type" action by the Government is needed. . But some long-range planning is under way. on s when-and-if-need- ed basis. Organized labor is call- ing for faster action. And some sentiment for stand-by antl-de- presslon laws is stirring in Con- gress. This general concern over jobs. at a time when business volume is close to its all-time high. is prompted by: ' , 1. Forecasts that the spring decline‘ in idleness will be followed by a midsummer peak oé perhaps 5.000.000‘ unemploy- e . 2.

April 2 —(AP)--Allied intelligence sources said today the Whitsuntide "March on Berlin" by the Communists‘ is apparently go- ing to be a propaganda. invasion in- stead of a putsch, as previously re. ported. They said the Soviet oontml coimnission in Eastern Germany stepped in and ordered that the elnphasls of the rally be changed from fighting to words, pregui, . ably because the Russians think the “Free German Youth" (F.D..T.) ambition to “conquer" the Allied sectors of Berlin is riskily premat- ure The latest Communist plan. these informants said. is to infiltrate about 10.000 to M000 agitators in small groups to harangvue West Berliners on the street in an ef- fort to convert them. The rally is sched-uleu to take place May 27 to 30. communists have said 500,000 members of FDJ will participate. Allied officers say they nowhave received information that the rank and file of the l='.D..l. will be supervised closely by East German people's police and kept engaged in the eastern sector of Berlin in a rigorous schedule of political pep talks, cultural aotlvlties and sports .- Earlier arrangements in the eastern provinces to train P.D.J. zealots with the people's police for street fighting have been altered, the Allied informants said. But 1,000 or so elite agitation groups, each including about 10 specially indoctrinated speakers, will try to slip into West Berlin piecemeal to convert some of the population to the Communist side. Allied garrisons will be at com- bat alert in May and other troops will be availabl ln'Wmt Germany for emergency ransport here by air. But there is little prospect that reinforcninents will be needed. Retired Minister Dies AI Socliville SAGKVIIHLE, N.B., April 2 - (OP)—Rev. Oharles Flernington.

See ‘Danger Medical Prac By ALAN HARVEY ' LONDON, April 2 -— (CP) — A claim that general medical practice is -“deteriorating" in Britain has stirred thoughtful comment on the futui-e of the country's 20.000 doc- tors. There seems to be general as- raement that these dangers exist: 1. Doctors may become mere "door-keepers" to hospitals and dug stores. 2. They are working excess- ively long hours under unsatis- ’ factory conditions. 8. They are losing contact with hospital and specialist services. The conclusions are among those reached in the comment on a sur- vey of general practice made by Dr. Joseph 8. Collings. an Austral- ian now holding a research fellow- ship at the llarvord School of Public Health. His findings. pub- lished in the Ritish medical Jour- nal. The Lancet. and based on a detailed study of so English prac- tices. end with this statement: “The over-all state of general practice. (in Britain) is bad and still deteriorating. Deterioration will continue. until such time as the and function of the gen- eral practitioner are clearly delin- ed. objective standards of practice are established and steps are taken to see that these standards are at- tained and maintained." new has the National Health aervloe affected the problem? col- \ that remoaltgllezl I‘ ha prison systun.
