Atkinson Admits
Unemployment Pay
Should Be Higher
Proposed Substitutes For "FullTime Wage" Draws La
boris Fire-Advocate Higher Unemployment COmpen-
sation Benefit Amount-Cites OhiO's Standing.

16-week benefit period and decrease
benefit amounts if the fund is sub
jected to severe drain during long
depression period.
Any concern for the solvency of the
O hio unemployment compensation
fund is apparently dissipated by Ad-
ministrator Atkinson in his speech,
in which he pointed out that "Ohio
has built up reserve fund of 129
million dollars, and it is now climbing
at the rate of 25 to 35 million dollars
year over the outgo. The maximum
indicated drain in any one year is 35
million dollars, and so today's reserve
is more than ample cushion against
three-year severe depression drain" F"
Rather inconsistently with his rec
commended changes, Administrator
Atkinson told the Chamber of Com
merce convention that Ohio should
liberalize it's benefit payments, citing
the fact that Ohio's average total un-
employment compensation benefit is
$10.25 a week for maximum of 16
weeks, while eve accept without
much protest" the idea that w. P A.
workers are entitled to SIC week
family subsistence level.
The Ohio administrator said he OPP
posed the "full-time weekly wage
formula because it opens the door to
claimants drawing larger amount
in weekly benefits than they actually
earned on an average as wages.
Labor officials discounted this rea-
son as being too infrequent and i'm
probable to be recognized as factor
of sufficient magnitude to necessitate
changing a principle of the law, writ
ten to provide insurance for the
worker during periods of slack OF
total unemployment.
Continuing his attack on the "full
time weekly wage" Administrator
Atkinson in his Cleveland speech
termed Ohio's present "Rule Three,
which is the states benefit formula
drafted on that principle Completely
unsatisfactory"
He declared that, Both the Ohit
law and Rule Three attempt to EN-
brace both the full-time weekly wage
and the straight average weekly wage
formulas, and do bad job of it."
"Rule Three" drafted by the Un
employment Compensation Commits
sion, approved by the federal Socia
Security Board and adopted by Ad
ministrator Atkinson, establishe
methods of computing wages ant
benefits, designed to take into con
sideration every recognized metho
of wage payment and based on tn
, 'full-time week" principle.

STRAND

The college romance of 1899, with its inevitable problems of life and economics, will entertain theatergo- CTS attending the Warner Bros. Strand theater today and tomorrow with the presentation of Spring Madness" as the headliner of the fine twin feature bill.
 It presents an entertaining picture of college life of today and co-stars Maureen O'Sullivan and Lew Ayres, who are excellently cast as a young couple who find themselves faced with an after-college future in which love has to survive on a shoestring. Laughable though 1t may seem, the financial embarrassment of the hus- band-to-be is predicament that has its serious side. The economics that he learns at college are some- how less personal than those he rubs against in his search for a job after graduation.
 Maureen O'Sullivan has one of her best roles as a New England college girl. Equal praise goes to Lew Ayres, portraying a harrassed young man of Harvard, who loves Miss O'Sulli- van but comes to realization that without job he won't cut much of a figure as husband.
 Burgess Meredith, popular juvenile of stage and screen, impersonates a debonair classmate at Cambridge.
 Adding to the charming confusion of the picture are Ruth Hussey, Ann Morris, Joyce Compton and Jacque- line Wells. Others in the support ing cast add to the collegiate at mosphere that makes this a light hearted story of amusing complica- tions which will be enjoyed by the entire family.
 The co-feature of the program, Hal Roach's comedy '"There Goes My Heart, must be seen to be enjoyed. It co-stars Frederic March and Vi-- ginia Bruce at the head of c large cast of makers.
 Attractions coming to this popular theater on Wednesday include Cow boy and the Lady" and Flirting With Fame"

 Oakie is again presented as the hair-brained press agent, and Miss Ball as the cratic movie star, who is constantly behind the eight ball" as @ result of her publicity mas wild ideas to garner free newspaper space in exploiting AnnabePs per- sonal appearance in Chicago. Most of the action takes place in Chicago, on board a transcontinental train and in 8 film studio in Hollywood, where inside glimpses of movie methods are amusingly revealed.
