The Utica-Rome a r e a has been designated by the U.S. Labor Department as depress- ed because of high enemploy- ment. V. E.

Utica Plant To Lay Off 1,300 More

U T I C A in — This central New York city, already des­ignated by the federal gov­ernment as part of a depress­ed area, faces still another blow to its economy.

T h e UNIVAC Division of Sperry Rand Corp. announced Tuesday it would lay off more than 1,300 production workers at its Utica and Ilion plants by the end of May.

Since October, the division had laid off more than 700 employes, as part of a program to cut its production force by 40 to 50 per cent.

The division employed about 4,150 production workers at Utica and Ilion when the lay­offs b e g a n . Of these 1,000 workers are employed at near­by Ilion.

The Utica-Rome a r e a has been designated by the U.S. Labor Department as depress­ed because of high enemploy-ment.

V. E. Johnson, division gen­eral manager, said the cut­backs were'made necessary by a large backlog in one of the division's computer lines and the transfer of some produc­tion activity to West Germany and Japan.

Johnson s a i d the division would begin making a new computer in August. But, he added, it was difficult to say what impact this would have on possible rehiring.
