Letters on unemployment figures and veterans group appeal
A reader criticizes a December 8 1963 column for misreporting unemployment data and urges factual use of statistics. The letter cites U S Dept of Labor data and compares wartime and peace time unemployment with percentages. It also condemns partisan attacks on Kennedy and urges Republicans and Americans to pursue accurate analysis. The second portion urges veterans of World War I to join the Morgan County Veterans and to recruit new members and their wives, stressing camaraderie and mutual aid.
