Employment Holding Up In Europe
An Associated Press survey shows Western Europe nearing a fourth postwar spring with jobs for nearly all, except Italians and Germans. Italy and Western Germany report about 3 million jobless combined. Britain has around 360,000 unemployed, France seeks 200,000 workers, and Belgium shows unemployment easing. Parts of Europe face drought, power cuts, and labor shifts, but overall food is plentiful and some price relief appears as aid continues.

Senators Lay Plans For Price Investigation
Washington rumors of a Senate price inquiry target bread, food, soaps and other living costs. Senator Maybank leads the Banking Committee calling for data on price spreads between consumer costs and farmer receipts. He seeks to understand why farm price declines do not translate to lower retail goods. Tobey and others fear inflation controls remain unlikely and seasonal factors may shift prices again.
