Hut 1 susfwrt iY RADPORDMOftLCY Washington, D. C., April 27.—Offi cials here are concentrating their greatest attention these day.s on the subject of unemployment. The opin ion is l>eing freely expressed that up to a few weeks ago the depression had coivtnued to grow. The upturn has finally come, they now assert, al though only in a small degree. It is certain the return to normal will be much quicker than the time the slump required. That business will gain mo mentum as it continues to improve is obvious, as.sert the officials. One bad thing note<l about the trend of conditions is that hu.siness is gain ing faster than the employment of workers. The slump re.sulted in a gen eral paring down of help of all kin.ds, although there were fewer di.srnis.s- als and less cuts in pay than in for mer depressions, most lines of hu.sl- ne.is carrying out their promises, made two years ago to President Hoo ver, to stabilize comlitions as much as they cou'kl. Those left on the payroll developed greater efficiency, and prove<l that many offices and factor ies had been over-staffed under old conditiems. It is certain, say govern ment official.s, that all of this excess help will never* Ih? re-empIoy«l at their old jobs, just to diminish the it commercially possdble is television. At present the 'best engineers have j 'been able to accomplish is to produce j 1 an image not larger than five inches' jwiuare. This limits its general field, j With the discovery of a way to pre- j sent pictures suitable for movie : screen.** an enormous new field wdll be created, almost overnight. While engineers are unable to cure the de fect of its Smallness at. present yet they do not question their ability to do so eventually. IDLE SPINDLES RUN IN NEW ENGLAND Boston .Mass., April 27,—It ha<f been claimed by many that alwlishing night work for women in Southern cotton mills would lead to the starting up of idle spindles in New England and the fig'ures as published by the depart ment of commerce, bureau of the cen- •sus. for February and March, 191^1. Iiear out this contention.

Already there is an oversupply of licensed pilots, of whom there are 5,000 more than planes to be flowm. The autogiro is a different project.
