I.n the two weeks pre- ceding that date the number of unemployed had increased by 11.- 000 while job opportunities dropped by 19,500. “As winter draws on the cessa- tion of some seasonal activities and the greatly accelerated pace of discharges from the armed forces are contributing materially to the steady upward trend in the num- ber of job-hunters and the ac- companying downward trend in the number of jobs to be filled throughout the Dominion," the Department said in explanation.

Washington Spotlight WASHINGTON Dec. 7-—(@)— Communist Party pickets have returned to ‘pavements near the White House-where they were active up to the moment Hitler attamd Russia and made the Soviet people Allies of Britain. and the United States. Then the bitter attacks of the local Communists against Anteri- can aid to Britain in what they called “an imperialistic war" dis- appeared like magic. The pickets who marched» a- long Pennsylvania Avemoo with their banners went away for the duration. Now their friends are back cm the Avenue but a block from the White House where they march in front of the State De- partment with placards demand- ing dismissal of State Secretary Byrnes and"‘hands off China." Moscow accepts no responsibil- ity for these activities and per- haps frowns cn them.
