Bernard B. Blier, NPIDC executive director, appeared with Governor David L. Lawrence before the Production and Stabilization sub-committee of the Senate Banking and Currency Committee, which is conducting hearings legislative proposals which on would provide assistance to labor surplus areas.

The region from Carbondale to Pottsville is considered a chronic labor surplus area by the Department of Labor since the inception of listing districts by unemployment degrees. Mr. Blier urged that the committee recommend, prompt passage of Douglas-Flood Bill, which would provide and grants for industrial development and community development programs which would increase ployment throughout the Anthracite region. "Our region which reflects no congested metropolitan population, there are, as of last Tuesday, more than 57,000 unemployed," Mr. Blier stated.

He listed also the region's unemployment compensation outlay of more than $55,000,000 in 1958 as an index of the region's critical unemployment problem.

Other programs such as vocation training, retraining subsistence payments, technical assistance also represent a major part of the comprehensive federal plan to stimulate employment and community facilities expansion in labor surplus areas. Macmillan Flies (Continued from Page One) sigence, this appeared to leave the cold war exactly where it was before the Macmillan trip. There were warnings in the Paris press it would be "dishonest" to hide the increasing gravity of the Berlin situation which is bringing West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer to Paris next week for talks with President Charles de Gaulle.

In London, British diplomats and politicians expressed fear Khrushchev's hard-line speech on Berlin had shattered any hope for success of the Macmillan mission to ease East-West tension, but they did not give up hope. American officials took a similar view in Washington, clinging to the hope that Russia would agree eventually to realistic negotiations. They said it was possible the Russians may leave the door ajar to a foreign ministers' conference when Moscow formally replies to the Allied request for such a meeting. Khrushchev called such a meeting unacceptable in a speech Tuesday and asked for a "summit meeting." Eisenhower, obviously angered by Khrushchev's action, said it would be a "very grave mistake" to hold such a top level meeting without adequate advance preparation. France watched the developing cold war crisis with increasing concern, but refused to be stampeded.

Informed sources in Paris predicted de Gaulle might press some ideas of his own for handling the Soviet diplomatic offensive, but officials were close mouthed on the latest developments. Macmillan warned Khrushchev Wednesday that his speech would force the West to take vital decisions on the Berlin crisis. Funerals Miss Bell D. Kachelries Funeral services for Miss Bell D.
