Her entry is a watercolor of a classroom scene. The exhibit is a part of the Festival workshop, which will draw more than 100 high school students to the campus tomorrow.

"And that 'barometer' today is comparable to what it was in 1949," he added. That was the year of the pre-Korean War recession.

The employment service's records show that employment in construction in Tucson has dropped by 1,700 persons since June of last year. The sharpest drop came in when it went from 5,100 to 4,100. It fell another 100 in February. Wieden said the cut in construction employment could be attributed to the cutback in home building during the past nine months. Today, the employment service lists 4,422 applicants for jobs of all kinds other than agricultural.

The community's non-farm labor force totaled 54,900 last month the latest available figure. Of that total, 4,000 were employed in construction, 9,300 in manufacturing, 12,800 in trade, 9,200 in service industries and the remaining 23,000 In such categories as government, mining, finance, transportation and communications. Construction workers make up 7.3 per cent of those holding jobs in Tucson today. In June, 1956, for instance, constcuction workers made up 11.1 per cent of the city's total employment, and In June, 1949, the figure was 8.8 per cent of the total. These figures show that when the city's construction industry is operating at a relatively high level, it employs about 10 to 12 per cent of the community's active labor force.

In its deepest period of slumf since World War II (in 1949) the employed construction force dropped to 8.8 per cent and it's below that now. Leaders of the construction trades unions said Wieden's figures checked pretty well with theirs but that employment service statistics included non-union workers too. The carpenters and laborers have suffered most from the slump in home construction, according to Fred Rhodes, secretary of the Southeastern Arizona District Council of Carpenters, and Leonard Holt, head of the Laborers' Union in Tucson. Both reported that 15 per cent or more of their men were out Many Die In Fireworks Blast Rescuers help Injured man trapped In debris caused by two blasts which wrecked a plant near the international airport, five miles from the outskirts of Mexico City Twelve persons were killed and 1 10 injured in a block-square area of tenements and adobe Rex Rides Saturday Rex Allen, the Arizona Cowboy, and his horse, Kolco; are making a special trip to Tucson to attend the festivities tomorrow night for the University of Arizona's new football coach, Ed Doherty, and the Wildcat team.

By Fagaly and Shorten at a joint meeting of the Pima County Republican Women's and Young Republican Clubs with three of the four candidates for Tucson Mayor and Councilmen In next Tuesday's general election. Kleindienst, painting out that Arizona traditionally goes as does Pima County in statewide general elections, said the municipal election may well forecast the outcome of next year's senatorial race. Local candidates speaking yes terday were Gerald Swanick, for Mayor, and Schuyler Lininger and Peter Sownie, for the Council. The third candidate for the council, William Aguirre, de clined an opportunity to speak.

but was introduced by David Hawkins, Young Republican presi dent, as "a self-made man who started with nothing and now drives a Cadillac" Kleindienst, referring to the local slate, said: "We Republicans always seem to put forth a good type of candidates frequently at personal sacrifices to themselves but when we look at some of the Democratic office-holders we wonder why the people elect so many old political hacks." He said the Republicans are joing to find out in 1958 "whether we are a real political party or just a club of people who lika to get together once in a while." The state chairman told his audience that Goldwater's reelection is necessary because: 1. "Of what be stands for la the direction. in which he wants to see the country go." 2. "It has been a long time in the history of Arizona since there has been an Arizonan in Washington (like Goldwater) who is willing to stand up and be counted on any subject" Kleindienst, Jabbing at Demo cratic Gov. Ernest W.

Mc-Farland who is expected to oppose Gold- water next year, said: "It took a U. S. Senate racketeering investigation in Washington to learn that he (McFarland) is against the right-tc-work law. He accepted $4,000 in campaign funds from the Teamsters' Union on the basis he is for repeal of the right-to-work law, but never said so publicly." Mrs. Johnson said those who have been watching and reading about the Teamsters' Union investigation in Washington have had pointed up to them "the things Sen.

Goldwater has been saying for years." Declining detailed comment on six instances in which Mayor Don Hummel charged the Republicans with making "bold and reckless misstatements," Swanick said the issues in next Tuesday's election are: "Whether or not the tax-paying citizens are satisfied with a part-time mayor knowing full well that the city problems go on 12 months a year. "Whether the citizens prefer to keep a 10 per cent limit on tha budget or whether they endorse unlimited spending. "Whether or not the citizens themselves want federal grants for slum clearance and public housing. "Whether or not the citizens endorse the present grandiose method of annexation and its consequent strain on the taxpayers." Swanick said he would not "quibble" over Hummel's charges of Republican misstatements regarding fire ratings, the cost of installing palm trees in Catalina Vista, and open garbage Speaking briefly, Sownie said William R. Mathews, editor and publisher of the Arizona Daily Star, editorially described tha Democratic incumbents "as well qualified without saying how they are qualified, unless because tha present councilmen' are rubber-stamps for everything the Mayor does." Lininger advocated creation of citizens' committees to draft plans for a five or ten-year program of development, and repeated charges that the Democrats hava been negligent in filling some departmental vacancies.

Weiss said he plans to start construction next fall, but said he had as yet fixed no completion date, The balconies on the new floors will be planted with flowers, Weiss said. "The Garden Plaza building fulfills a dream I have had," he explained. "I like flowers and in New York I always had them, even by keeping a hot-house in the winter. This building will continue to keep the atmosphere of the Southwest, with plenty of light and air, and flowers." Morrison Will Go To Public If Funds Cut PHOENIX, March 28 W-Atty. Gen.

Robert Morrison said Thurs day he would appeal for public Subscriptions to campaign against vice if the Legislature cuts his travel allowance. Morrison was referring to a statement made Wednesday by House Speaker W. L. (Tay) Cook (D-Cochise) who said his Appropriations Committee may look into Morrison's travel expenses. Cook noted that the attorney general's staff, using airplanes, had confiscated slot machines in Cook's home county and that of Senate President Clarence Carpenter (D-Gila) in a series of weekend raids.

Morrison replied Thursday that the two counties were raided because they were the only ones in which slot machine activity was reported. He said it was only a coincidence that the two counties are the homes of Cook and Carpenter. "It is hard for me to believe that Mr. Cook would prevent me from enforcing the anti-gambling laws of our state," Morrison said in a prepared statement. "His statement must have been made in jest "It would be a sad commentary if any executive officer were prevented by the Legislature from carrying out his duties and obligations to enforce the anti-gambling laws of our state."

before McClure. Complainants are Mr. and Mrs. Charles D. Ludorf, 3930 New York who charged the contractor with raising the price of their house by $360 after construction was started; installing a poor septic tank and leaching field that seeped to the surface, ran into adjoining property, caused bad odors and was not installed under a permit from the county.

The couple submitted a long list of complaints, also charging New-land with insulating their house improperly. They said a bathroom sink was so insecurely fastened to the wall that they were afraid to fill it with water. Debits Again Show Slight Decline For the second straight week Tucson bank debits dipped slightly from the corresponding week of last year, according to the' local clearing house report issued yesterday. The drop was between two and three per cent. The total for the week ending March 27 was $37,331,145, as compared with $38,151,334 for the week ending March 28, 1956.

The loss in dollars was $820,189. Debits for the week ending March 26, 1947, ten years ago, amounted to $12,043,513. M. K. Stevenson, clearing house manager, said debits may continue to lag "until the Hughes plant goes back on a five-day week." However, the bank debits have been following a rather erratic course and could well go back on the gaining side next week.

nouses. fr YYirepnoToj Hunt Seeks Suspect In School Fire Youth With Cut Arm Object Of Search City police yesterday were hunting for a youth with a gashed arm believed to have been injured when the boy broke into Wakefield Junior High School and set fire to the building Wednesday night. Blood stains were found on glass from a window broken to gain entrance to the school at 400 W. 44th St. Fire damage to the building and equipment is expected to run into thousands of dollars, Joe Magee, business manager for Tucson Schools, said Contractors are to estimate the damage today.

They will determine the feasibility of including repair work in a remodeling and addition project previously scheduled to start within the next four months. Plans for the construction project at Wakefield were approved by the Tucson School Board recently. It would be more costly to repair fire damage now and possibly tear out some of the work when the new addition is started, Magee pointed out. Destroyed in the fire, started in a storage room in the registrar's office, were a new movie projector, two typewriters and an adding machine and all the school's attendance records. School officials credited the quick action of the Tucson and South Tucson Fire Departments with saving the entire school from destruction.

In a few mor'e min utes the fire would have broken through into the rest of the build ing if the firemen had not aa swered the call as promptly as they did, Magee said. Obscene notes left in the prin cipal's office led investigating offi cers to believe the fire was started by juveniles. Young vandals recently wrecked classrooms at Cragin Elementary School, 2945 N.

Contractor To Appeal Penalty Court Will Pass On License Suspension Littletown contractor Arthur Peabody, Benson will appeal the suspension of his license to do residential work, Atty.

E. F. Rucker said yesterday. Rucker's announcement of the appeal followed a ruling by Julian McClure denying Peabody's petition for a rehearing on charges that he was guilty of poor workmanship on three houses in Little-town, a small community on the eastern edge of metropolitan Tucson. On March 5, McClure, deputy registrar of contractors, ordered that Peabody's construction license be suspended for six months, starting May 1.

The suspension was based on poor workmanship. Rucker, who Pea-body, will appeal the issue to Superior Court. His motion for a rehearing stressed that Peabody wasn't given a chance to correct defects before a citation was issued. McClure said that under the law he is not required to ask a contractor to correct defects before issuing a citation. "The evidence clearly revealed that Mr.

Peabody knew of alleged defects and no action was taken by him," the deputy registrar said. The petition for a rehearing also noted that "much evidence was biased and prejudiced" against Peabody, state evidence was dominated by union witnesses, and that the three complainants (out of 45 home owners) were "unusually bitter." McClure refused to answer these charges, which were aired in February at a hearing before him on the citation, In his denial of the petition, he said: "There is more than sufficient evidence in the record to support the decision." Carefree Monkey Enjoys Himself On Sourhside Tucson has a mystery monkey. The simian has been on the loose for three days at least, but no one seems to want to claim him. City police reported that residents in the south-eastern part of town have been phoning in like clockwork to report the monkey's movements. Last night it was last seen swinging in dangerous territory atop some power lines in the 3000 block of East 19th St.

Rhodes said the same figure held for carpenters in the Phoenix area, and ran up as high as 50 per cent in other parts of the state with Bisbee, Douglas, Safford, Willcox, Tombstone, Benson and Nogales the hardest hit. Rhodes said the situation could be viewed with nothing but pessimism. "Our only hope is that home construction will resume its.

normal rate. We are doing what we can to urge an increase in the interest rate on GI loans in hopes that will keep house con' struction operating at a fairly good level until FHA terms are liberalized," Rhodes said. "Home construction is Important to us because $1,000,000 spent on housing will employ 10 times as many carpenters as the same amount spent on commercial con Solomon Levy, business agent for the Sheet Metal Workers-and head of the Tucson Building Trades Council, which is made of 19 trade unions, said the downtown boom in commercial construction was helping most of his unions. But such work is sporadic in nature with some crafts sitting idle while others work on their phases of construction. Holt, business agent of the laborers' union, said his men were beginning to find some work in highway construction, but that about 15 per cent of them had been job-hunting since October.

Weiss said he expects to carry the south wing and the west end of the building up an additional three floors to provide 36 additional ofhces.
