" . , A , The report says that unemploy ment in 1965 will be about 3,000,000 persons, or about four per cent 'of the civilian labor ' force of some 76,000,000 persons forecast for that time. This compares with unem ployment estimated by the Census Bureau at 2,741,000 or 4 J per cent of the civilian labor force, in Octob er of this year. ; The 190,000,000 population predict ed compares with a present popu lation' of about 160,000,000. Agri culture employment is expected to be about 5,500,000, compared with a total of 6,750,000 in 1953. Gross national production (total production of goods and services) is. expected to rise by 1965 to 535 billion dollars, a nearly fifty per cent increase over the record high of approximately 365 billion set in 1953. The average number of hours an amployee in private business will work in 1965, the report said, will probably be about 1,855, some 185 hours or twenty-three working days of eight hours each, less than in 1953. In agriculture, the annual num ber of work hours was foreshadow ed at 2,240, or about 225 less than in 1953. The shortened number of work hours would be accompanied and in part made possible, by in creases in productivity per hour of Work. . ,,, A'jfej: Mount Everest The government of India recent ly announced it has settled a century old controversy over the height of Mount Everest, the world's highest peak. The figure given officially is 29,028 feet The announcement said a three- year survey by the Government Sur vey department is the basis for this figure, considered correct within teen feet fither way. Any deviation could be attributed to seasonal fluctuation of the snow level. Previously the height of the world's highest peak has been put at figures ranging from 29,002 to 29,149 feet. The lowest figure, old est and popular was put forward about one hundred years ago.

More than three million addition al World War II and post-Korea veterans are likely to get GI loans before their respective deadline, Veterans Administration forecast That estimate is contained in a decennial report, a 40-page pamphlet entitled "GI Loans, the First Ten Years," released by VA on the ac complishments, impact, and future of the GI loan programs. The decennial report records the legislative and administrative his tory of "a bold venture in veterans benefits" that already has enabled more than 3 1-2 million veterans to borrow more than $23.5 billion for homes, farms and businesses, - In the foreword to the report, Har vey V. Higley, Administrator of Vet erans Affairs praises the response of private industry to "what has become the greatest Government sponsored credit venture of its kind" and pays tribute to the efforts of VA employees who have been engaged in its administration. : The report reviews the relatively small cost of the GI loan program to the taxpayers of the nation and reveals that administrative expenses have been about 43 cents for every hundred dollars borrowed by vet erans. , In estimating that more than three million additional veterans will use their GI loan benefits, VA said it seems reasonable to assume that at least a million more loans would be made to World War II veterans and at least two million to veter ans with service since June 27, 1950, Vc.orcns , Arc Asldnq : Q What is the maximum amount of National Service Life Insurance that can be carried?
