Forecast Increased
Construction Work
WASHINGTON 0*P)—A forecast
of further moderate increases in
construction work in the near fu
ture came from the federal re
serve board yesterday.
Because construction is one of
i the main bulwarks of business ac
tivity and employment, this furn
ished some back fgr a prediction
by secretary of labor Tobin that
'employment will go up by 1,000,
000 the rest of this year. Tobin
jmade the prediction at the White
: House this wfeek.
The reserve board, in a publica
tion, noted contract construction
was providing jobs for more than
2,000,000 workers at mid-year.
Even while activity declined
substantially at the nation’s facto
ries and mines in the spring and !
early summer, the board report
showed, construction was scoring
a more than seasonal rise from its
low. winter levels.
The southernmost extension of
Lingayen Gulf in the Philippines
is about 100 air miles from Manila.
1 Landslide Buries
Tliirteen In Japan
TOKYO, (£*)—Thirteen persons
were buried alive yesterday by a
landslide in western Kyushu is
land.
Kyodo news agency, in a dis
patch from Saga prefecture, said
rescue workers had been unable
hours later to find any bodies. The
landslide occurred in the village
of Kita Taku.
Observatory reports from Fu
kuoma said hevay rains through
out Kyushu would break all rec
ords for the past 60 years.
More than 27 inches of rain fell
in the mountains in the wake of a
typhoon earlier in the week.
Railroads were blocked by
landslides.
The number killed in the ty
phoon last night was placed at 38
Japanese. Sixty-five were missing
and 300 injured.
Fifteen black siskins were flown
recently from Peru to Maryland
for a pet company which wants
to try to breed a race of black
canaries.
Cross Atlantic In
20-Foot Sailboat
♦
DARTMOUTH. England. OP) —
Two daring British brothers com
pleted yesterday an epic 2,700
mile Atlantic crossing in a home
made 20-foot sailboat.
Stanley Smith, 30, and his bro
ther, Colin 29, both veterans of
the Royal Air Force, set foot on
land for the first time since leav
ing Halifax, N. S., in their cockle
shell craft 43 days ago.
After successfully braving
stoi'ms, thirst and starvation for
more than six weeks without aid,
the brothers had to accept a tow
from a harbor launch to make
their triumphal entrance. The
wind failed them 500 yards off
shore.
