Stocks Drops BY JACK SEARLES, Timet A NEW KIND of indicator has emerged on the American business scene in the of George Meany, the redoubtable president of the AFL-CIQ, Whenever the economic news turns a bit sour, Meany cart be counted on to dust off his proposal for a 35-hour work week. Prompted by a rise in the Jobless rate (see INDICATORS), Meany did it again last week. The rise, he said, "is symptom matic of the very real and continuing disease which affects our economy America's labor force is growing at a rate of 1.35 million workers every year.

We must find jobs for them." As he had done two months before, Meany went on to argue that a shortened work week would provide jobs for more people. The administration, which opposes the idea, insists that the way to solve the unemployment problem is to step up the pace of the economy, Another rot-too-happy development, besides the unemployment picture, is the finding by the Commerce" Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission that qapital spending by industry, will probably decline for the first time in two years during the first quarter of 1963.
