for the unemployed masses.
The jobless Insurance program
went into effect today in Texts

District of Columbia, its pur-
pose is to lighten economic dis-
tress of the nation and the un-
employed.

candidates started the Texas
political pot to boiling in the
earnest today on the first day
of the campaign year.
Ernest O. Thompson, member
of the Railroad Commission, an-
nounced he would be candidate
for Governor. In Corpus Chri-

here, asking them to so advise
correspondents.
The other announcement was
that of State Treasurer Charley
Lockhart, who will seek his fifth
term in that office.
Thompson, stating he would
issue in March a “Bill of Parti-
culars” regarding his platform
declared he would not resign
the office of Railroad Commis-
sioner. He was elected to that
office two years ago for a six-
year term.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1, (INS)—
Close to 11,000,000 American men
and women, capable and anxious
to work, are unemployed or do-
ing only part time work, John
D. Biggers, jobless census ad-
ministrator, announced tonight.
Official tabulation in the vol-
untary unemployment census of
the nation last month, he said,
established definitely IQ,870,000
are in need of jobs. Since the
census, he said, the General
Motors layoff of 30,000 men has
| boosted the jobless list to the
11,902,003 rack.
“I have no solution. My job
was to find out how many unem-
ployed people there are in this
country. That job is done,” he
told newspapermen.

P. T. Wray, contractor—“There
may not be as many residences
built in 1938 as last year, but
there will be more improvements
for business houses, and there
should be an increase in con-
struction work.”
B. M. Sandlin, new manager of
the Chevrolet agency—“The Talco
oil field is just getting started,
and there will be a lot of wild-
cat drilling in this section, which
should create a bigger demand
than last year for automobiles.”
With the construction of the
new highway from Mt. Pleasant
to the Franklin County line due
to start soon, employment will be
given to a large number of men,
and the $200,000 cotton checks
