The NAM forecast was only slightly under the goal of 60,000, 000 set by Commerce Secretary Henry Wallace and other admin istration leaders. Mosher based his estimate of manufacturing employment gains on an NAM survey of specific plans of 1,756 individual manufac turers. Inquiry was made in every section of the country and into ev ery type of production. Mosher qualified the prediction by pointing out it was not neces sarily a long-range forecase, but was the experts’ analysis of pros pects for the period following the war. Realization of the NAM esti mate, he added, would mean an increase of at least one-third over the prewar manufacturing labor force. His report said: “The manufacturing industry employed 10,600,000 persons in 1939. Add the minimum of 3,400,000 ad ditional industrial workers which our survey indicates will be need ed, and we have a total of 14,000, 000 men and women who will be needed to produce peacetime goods. “Manufacturing normally em ploys about 25 per cent of the total working force of the nation. Should the other elements of our economy be able to make similar increases in employment we would have about 56,000,000 indivi duals working in our stores, on our farms, in the various services, in local, state and federal govern ment and in other activities that make up our national life. ‘•This volume of employment must necessarily depend upon a favorable economic climate, upon how quickly the government lifts its ban on reconversion, and upon a national confidence shared by all elements of our society.” Mosher said the survey indicat ed “unexpectedly low” predictions for unemployment during the transition period when manufac turers will be converting from war to peacetime production. It indi cated most such "disemployment” would last less than 16 weeks. EIGHT BUILDINGS DEMOLISHED HERE Five of the 17 city buildings or dered condemned this year by the City Council have been demolished, Building Inspector Gilbert F. Mor ton said yesterday. Condemned and torn down have been a one - story grocery "£tore at 623 South Fifth, and oneAory dwellings at 717 South Twelft* 113 Wooster, 206 North Tenth, and 401 Queen. Repair of a one - story house at 1CB. South Tenth has been com pleted and reconstruction of Jar man’s Pharmacy, 1520 MarkeU is 40 per cent finished, Mr. Morton reported. Demolished for other reasons than condemnation have been houses at 301 Hanover, 604 Daw son, and 516 North Third, he said. The third survey this year has been ordered on nine other city properties. Mr. Morton said the in spection probably would be made this week and a report to the Council filed at the next session. -v Chamber Of Commerce Membership Campaign To Be Talked Monday Plans for the Chamber of Com merce membership campaign ten atively scheduled for the week be ginning March 12, will be discuss ed at a luncheon meeting of the membership committee Monday at 1:30 p.m., at the Cape Fear club.

Norman O. Houston, member of the Los Angeles board of direc tors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, said he understood "prac tically the whole negro person nel’’ of approximately 1,000 men were participating. Houston said the demonstration was in protest against alleged ad dition of white enlisted men to the battalion for eventual eleva tion to chief petty officers; that the negroes, because of their training and overseas experience, feel qualified for these ratings. Commodore William M. Quig ley, commander of the advance base depot at Port Hueneme, was quoted by Navy spokesmen here: “I knew them and admired them at Tulagi and Guadalcanal. "However, they have no basis whatsoever for complaint, since there has been absolutely no color line and no discrimination against members of the battalion by its own officers or by the naval base. ''"No action is contemplated re garding their present behavior. The food is being prepared regu larly and will be available to them when they choose to eat.” -V HOME BREAK-INS REPORTED HERE Three additional house break ins were reported to police Fri day night to boost to 16 the city residential burglaries committed in the past two months. Besides the 13 house break-ins last month, when $100 worth of valuables were stolen, 15 store and office robberies took place. Purse snatching was cut to one last month. The theft of automobiles, house and store robberies last month accounted for the loss of $6,135 worth of property, of which $5, 247.01 was recovered by police. Police Chief C. H. Ca steen de scribed the house break-ins as “spasmodic” burglaries. Persons hearing odd noises about their homes or yards were asked to notify police at once, so as to give the officers an opportunity to ap prehend the thieves. Dr. E. P. Walker, of 101 North Seventh, reported that $12.50 in cash and $5 in ten-cent war stamps was stolen Friday night from his home. Officers found the thief en tered by removing a window screen. A pocketbook, containing $17 and other valuables, reportedly was stolen from the bedroom of Miss Anne White, 1106 Grace street, while she and her guests played cards in the living room. It was determined that the robber enter ed by raising the bedroom window. Raising the screen to a window at the home of W. G. Farmer, 1505 Princess “thievjes entered and ransacked the house. Five dollars was taken from a cedar chest, police said. -V BUY WAR BONDS AND STAMPS i( SCOTT’S SCRAP BOOK _ By R. J. Scott bA * riuMAK ~ A g APPEMDlX was - 2 I W0< DlS<UJYEREl> UK-fil.
