Pi Govern ment employment has grown five limes more rapidly than private employment in the past 48 years, the National Bureau of Economic Heseareh reports. In 19(1(1. only one out of 24 work el" was on the palroll of Federal, stale or local governments, the bu reau said l!y 1920. that figure had jumped lo one out of 1T: by 1940, to one out of 1 1 , and by 1!)4H, lo one out ol cifdit or nine. I'eicenlage-w ise, government em ployment him' from 4 2 per cent of the nation'-- winking force in 1900 to 114 in 11)411. The stale Hi s were contained in a report by Dr. Solomon Fabricant, siunniai iing findings of a study of government employment carried tint under a grant from the Mau rice and Laura Falk Foundation of Pittsburgh, Pa. Dr. Fabricant is professor of economics at New York L niversity s School of Com merce, Accounts and Finance, and a member of the bureau's research staff. Not All Federal By no means all the rise in go.v arnment employment is due to the expanded Federal government, Dr. Fabricant said. Of the 6 700,000 full-time equiv alent persons on government pay rolls 3 400,000 work for state and 'local governments," he said. The main lactor which caued swollen government payrolls, he said, was the growth of govern ment services over the past 48 years. Dr. Fabricant gave three reasons lor this boost in services: 1. The rise in national income per capita made it possible to add to government sei vices and at the same time caused a greater de mand for them. 2. The developments underlying the rise in national income car ried with them tertain costs--providing such essential services as sanilaliiSi for city dwellers, regu lating the increasingly complex interdependent economy and pro viding relief from the system's breakdowns and shortcomings. 3 The changing international scene and U. S. reactions to it, as illustrated by the growth of both civilian and rfiilitary personnel in Ihe military establishment from KiO.OOO in 1900 to 2,200,000 today. Other Points in Report Dr Fabricant said he excluded from his statistics employes of gov ernment contractors including (hose hired by the WPA during the depression as well as persons re ceiving pensions, welfare and other payments from the government. Other significant points in the economist's report were: 1. Two-thirds of all government employes in 1940 were working in industries producing goods and services also produced by non- I governmental agencies. 2. The administrative, legisla tive, taxing and reglilatory func tions of government accounted for only nine per cent of the govern ment's work force in 1940. 3, In 1940, 21 per cent of all workers in health and medical fields were employed by the gov ernment; in forestry 22 per cent; In construction 17 per cent; in electric and gas utilities 24 per cent and in shipbuilding 37 per cent. 4. In 1940, almost one-third of all government workers were em ployed In educational fields. Marriage Licenses John K. Stephens and Kalliryn Kit by. both of Canton.

As the years pa'sed, generation', of indent ; came under her influence. "Her per unalir, was extraordinary," said one of them. "She .-imply radiated somelliini', in i ible anil in fiiiuis: a till of niae niiic field. She lould lurni h an empty ' room by .'imply Mltnu', there." Cornelia came to Chapel Hill a a child in lHti. when the village vvs' "hardly inure than a wide place in Ihe stage road Unit ran from Piltsboro. North Carolina, to the trading center of Petersburg, Virginia." Her father was pioles sor ol mathematics in the Univi i' - j ity: tun brothers later became pro i If-sors there. Cornelia herself, j though avid for learning, was al j lowed only the "crumbs thai fell jlroni the University's table". Hut ithis did not prevent her becoming I known as "the smartest woman in ; North Carolina," and. as Governor j Vance said, "the smartest man. j too". I It is through her letters, diaries, land articles, skilfully woven into the story, that the reader sees fresh I and vivid pictures of life in Chapel Hill during Ihe "happy forties", the ; "fateful fifties." Ihe war years, and i the "days of wrath". When Ihe v il- j lage was occupied by Federal j troops, one of the Yankee generals i Courted and married President j Swain's daughter, "in Ihe very! teeth of all Ibis bitterness ami woe- An AF PRODUCTION M S ' ' Nwi!atunM OF M If Q fry 3 p.titopiij u s. goods M : U sx hi ""a 7i I 1929 fill humiliation".

The battle lines weiV clear ly drawn. On one side was Presi dent Pool, with the Governor be hind him; "on the other was Cor nelia, widowed and alone ". In its outcome, this David and Goliath contest resembled its famous pro totype. In 1871 Pool went down lo defeat- -the University was closed. And now the indomitable Cor nelia had lo fight the desuair and apathy of a defeated and poverty stricken people. "1 am writing let ters," she said. "It is all that I can do" She wrote with such success keeping the subject alive, back ing ui) Ihe work of Kemp P.
