  The Tribune-Republican, Meadville, PA. May 31, 1945
  (From the Evening Republican)
    WASHINGTON, May 29 (AP)  War demands will turn loose 4,800,000 workers and 
  fighters in the next six months but fewer persons will be seeking jobs then 
  than three months from now.
    W.P.B.Chairman J. A. Krug made these predictions today, estimating the 
  decline in the number of war workers during June, July and August at 2,900,000.
    Joblessness during that time, he said, will jump about 1,100,000 persons to 
  around 1,900,000.
    Krug said about 700,000 of those to be released from war production in the 
  next three months will continue or soon find employment in plants shifting to 
  civilian production.
    Others, he added, will be absorbed in civilian-manufacturing, construction 
  trades and services, and other civilian occupations.  Nevertheless, he figures 
  there will be a net increase of 1,100,000 in unemployment.
