The declino in the number of fami

Washington, Oct. 30 (AP) A stren

The National Labor Relations
Board dropped everything to confer
with both sides in the row involving
the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Company in Cleveland.
Other agencies kept sharp watch
on half a dozen industrial sore spots.
The controversy that led the A. & P.
to close its 300 stores in Cleveland,
throwing more than 2.000 persons out
of work, apparently gave the labor
board one of its hardest nuts to
crask.
As company officials and labor lead

grocery concern lias no intention ever
to return to Cleveland.

Washington. Oct. 30. (/p)—The gov

widespread unemployment, placed
new emphasis today on work and

Beyond that it looked into the fu

tax on payrolls to support unemploy

depression of some of its terrors.
The PWA and the Federal Relief
Adminitration were known to bo
studying an expansion of public works
and work relief. As bitter winds
heralded the coming of winter, offi
cials hurried to lit projects on which
thousands and thousaands of men
could be put to work quickly if the
plan meets the approval of President
