An overall job survey showed that non-farm employment in August totaled 49,400,000 1,200,000 more than a year ago and an all- time high for the month.

At the same time, the department said the increase of 200,000 workers between mid-July and mid-August was the smallest since 1945. The survey showed that the; "general employment situation continued highly favorable," with most industries reporting peak levels. Refugee Pole Tells of Russian Conquest Plans WASHINGTON IP)--Dr. Marek S. Korowicz, who escaped from the Communists turned them over to Indian guards for the next three months.

As the trucks rolled down the, dirty road from nearby Kaesong, along thp same route takon byj more than 3,300 other Americans: who chose freedom over nism in "Operation Big Switch," the prisoners sang the Communist anthem, "The Internationale."

Vinson served his' state and country with But he left an estate of only $1,163 when he died.

i Although no one considered Vin- son rich, the size of his shocked the capital. An old friend. Sen. Walter F. George was moved to reflect: "The man who gives his whole life to public service gives little to his family.

That is true of all men in America who are dedicated to public service rather than service to themselves." The jurist's estate, filed in Probate Court here Wednesday, listed; his assets at $7,163, including his; car, personal jewelry, some cash, a few government bonds, and even his law books. Against this were debts totalling $6,000, leaving a net worth of only $1,163. Two Wills Ruled Invalid Although Vinson head of the Supreme Court, highest tribunal in the land, the two wills he left behind were ruled invalid. One, which he wrote in long hand in 1928 when he was a congressman, was not witnessed. The secona, dated in 1930, might have been valid but the signatures of the wit- and safest way to achieve their nesses had been torn off.

Address to AFL of New Red Weapons Federation Calls Brief Respite in Quarrel Over T-H Law ST. LOUIS T.E Secretary of State John Foster Dulles today re- inewed a call for world disarma- I ment efforts and warned that the Communists may possess new wea- jpons which "threaten of civilization as we know it" In an address prepared for de- I livery before the 72nd annual con- 'vention of the American Federation of Labor, Dulles said the United States is "gravely pre-occupied with the problem of new weapons. His remarks were along the theme he developed a week ago before the United Nations General Assembly. "The forces of destruction, largely in terms of atom and hydrogen bombs, are being developed on a scale which threatens the survival of civilization as we know it," Dulles said gravely. "Furthermore, tne possibility of setting these destruction forces into motion may be possessed by Communist rulers who openly reject the restraints of mor- i al law."

No Change in Policy A Soviet master plan looks to achieve this final aim in 1970 or 1980.

Mounting GOP concern was voiced publicly by Alexander Wiley (R-Wis.) and privately by other lawmakers who party is being damaged by the mere fact a- sales levy is "under consideration" in the" Treasury. Wiley predicted that any sales tax bill would be "thunderingly rejected" by Congress He said i the administration would be "digging its own political grave" by proposing such an unpopular levy.

Another Republican senator, who will play a major role in any tax legislation passed next year, went farther and said the administration is a political price for even thinking about a sales tax. Demos Make Political Hay This senator, who did not wish to be quoted by name, said Secretary of the Treasury George M. Humphrey should slam the door now on all speculation about a sales tax by announcing that the administration has no intention of proposing one. As things stand now, he said, the Democrats are making political hay by opposing a tax which the admin- Riley Simmons, Birger Gangster, Wins Parole SPRINGFIELD, 111.

While the future following the armistice is "still obscure," Dulles said that aggression had been ended and that most Americans had been returned. While the total of U.

S. prisoners returned is now about 3.600 Dulles said "we shall do all within our power to insure that all are returned. On the overall pioblem of disarmament, war, and peace, the sec- retarv said this government does not believe that "salvation" can be won by making concessions to those who already rule Russia and some 600,000.000 other people in 15 other countries.
