The total, 38,000 higher than a year earlier, represented seven per cent of the labor force, com- pared with 9.7 per cent a month earlier. The decline in unemployment, third monthly drop in a row, was contrasted with a 267,000 increase in employment, a greater-than-usual jump for the time of year. The picture in brief, with esti- mates in thousands: May April May 1961 .1961 .1960 6,542 6,440 6,391 Employed 6,085 5,818 5,972 Unemployed 457 622 419 The unemployment report, based on a survey of 35,000 households across Canada, was released just 10 hours before Finance Minister Fleming was to present his budget in the Commons. The federal labor department, analyzing the bureau of statis- Labor force # |tics' report, said the long-term unemployed accounted for al- most all of the 38,000 increase over last year's mid-May job- less total, when the unemploy- ment rate was 6.6 per cent. JOBLESS OVER SIX MONTHS There were 108,000 workers formal definition of unemploy- ment. The majority, however, had been unemployed for six months or less. In addition, there were 18,000 out of a job for|ment rate th Si Le earlier and 4.9 The number of unemployed men, 397,000, was down 153,000 from the previous month. There was a decline of 12,000 unem- ployed women, leaving a total of 60,000. The labor force report noted a stronger - than-seasonal de- manf for male workers. As a result, the number of men with jobs was slightly higher than a year earlier, The increase in employment of women was sea- sonal. 4 MORE ON FARMS A big jump in the farm work force--rising to 726,000 at mid- May from 652,000 at mid-April was the reason behind a signifi. cant part of the gain in employ- ment. Increases also occurred dur- ing the month in the service, forestry, manufacturing and construction industries. But em- ployment in mining and trans- portation at mid-May was still down from a year earlier. The picture in Ontario: Employment in Ontario in- creased somewhat more than usual between April and May, with almost all of the 59,000 in- crease occurring in non-farm industries. There were 125,000 unem- ployed, compared with 160,000 at mid-April, The unemploy- was 5.2 per in force, com- cent & month r cent a year earlier. As weather conditions im- proved, employment in con- struction and agriculture con- tinued to rise in most parts of the province. Forestry also on temporary layoff. showed a big jump in jobs. HONG KONG (AP)--A psy- chological letdown among the ual breakdown of government authority on lower levels are reported by a Westerner who has visited Communist China periodically. "The steam has gone out of the Chinese Communist revolu- tion," says this Westerner. The letdown is reflected in letters from Red China and to some extent in the official press. Westerners in general, how- ever, are divided on its signifi- cance. Most feel the letdown is tem- porary. China has seen many ups and downs in 12 years of Communist rule. But many Westerners feel the West may be over-rating the Chinese Communists. MAY SPREAD WIDELY "You cannot disregard the Says Red China 'Losing Steam' down is more basic, that it is possibly the beginning of a pro- cess of deterioration that could, if unchecked, degenerate into widespread disaffection," the latest visitor to China said, sketching this picture: The backbone of discipline the Communists have rigidly maintained among the people is beginning to slump. Corruption, that old bane of China, is back again, especially among lower- level party functionaries and police. Petty thievry, mostly of food, is on the increase and there have been fairly reliable reports of food riots. People are spitting on the sidewalks again in defiance of government regulations. In Can- ton beggars are operating freely and practically without hind- rance. Widespread shortage of food, bordering on famine in some areas, is apparently the most immediate cause of the possibility that the current let- current discontent. Eichmann, now 55 and wear- ing horn-rimmed glasses, snapped to ramrod attention when presiding Judge Moshe As he swore "by God" to tell the truth, the audience made up mostly of Jewish survivors of the wartime pogrom rumbled in surprise and resentment. Eich- mann said he preferred not to swear on the Bible but rather "by the Almighty God." Eichmann's first testimony was a blast at Israel for kid- napping him in Argentina. He said a prosecution statement that he came to Israel volun- tarily was false.
