Labor Secretary
Forecasts Million
More Jobs
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Secretary
of labor Tobin forecast yesterday
an .increase of a million jobs by
the end of the year and a corre
sponding drop in unemployment.
Tobin reported to President
Truman that the employment sit
uation is improving steadily.
He told reporters on. leaving the
White House:
“It looks very much like there
will be a decided increase in em
ployment during the next six
months and that by the end of the
year poyrolls will be increased by
approximately 1,000,000 persons.
This does not take in the possi
bility of a major strike in coal or
steel, he said.
Tobin said there would be a sub
stantial increase in employment
and a drop in unemployment fig
ures beginning about the middle
of September.
He said he based his forecast on
the fact that purchasing orders to
build up depleted inventories al
ready are increasing and will con
tinue to accelerate. He also said
the employment situation would
be helped by many workers re
turning to school in the fall.
Asked if he thought a steel and
coal strike could be averted, he
replied he devoutedly hopes so.

Charge Accounts
■ ■
HOLLYWOOD, (/P) — You may
i soon be able to step up to the box
office at the Bijou and say:
•‘Charge it, please.”
Yes, to crown such lures as free
dishes, bank nights and popcorn,
movie men have dreamed up new ;
bait: boxoffice charge accounts.
; The see-it-now-and-pay-la t e r
; plan was hatched by the King
Brothers, a trio of Hollywood pro
| ducers. They’re offering it—free
I —as a tonic for ailing film profits,
i The plan operates this way:
A patron’s credit rating will be
j established just as it is when he
opens a department store charge
account. He will be issued a credit
card. At the box office, the cashier
will note the card number, name
and number of guests. The cus
tomer will be billed at the end of 1
! the month.

Depth Explorer
Gives Up Attempt
SMUGGLER’S COVE, Calif. UP\
Marine explorer Otis Barton has
i called off, at least temporarily, his
attempt to descend 6,000 feet be
| low the ocean’s surface.
Beset for three days by mechan
! ical difficulties and rough wea
] ther. Barton Monday had himself
hauled back to the surface after
being lowered in his diving bell to
2300 feet. This is probably the
! deepest any man has ever gone
alone. He and naturalist William
Beebe set the current diving rec- I
ord of 3028 feet off Bermuda in
1934.
In Monday’s dive, Barton said
he saw a sausage-shaped light,
apparently some sort of fish; a
“beautiful eel” and a jellyfish
giving off a golden glow. He call
ed off the descent because of j
| power failure.
