Job|ess Benefits
Boosted; Budget
Cut 100000
Times stan Correspondent

LANSING, June 20. - Unem-
ployment insurance benefits were
increased today when Gov. Muir
ray ID. Van Wagner signed an
act extending the payments TO Is
weeks.
Under the previous statute the
maximum was SIG for Is weeks.
The governor had recommended
Sl8 for IL weeks but the LeGiSla-
ture would 60 no further than a
compromise adding two weeks at
SIC.
The governor also ended the
budget turmoil by cutting almost
A,500.000 from the appropriation
for the biennium starting July l.
His pruning brought the budget
within S175,000 of estimated
revenue for the two-year period.
n sum which Budget Director Leo
j. Nowicki, SAID can be made up
by economies.
SCHOOL AID RECORD
In adjusting the appropriations
10 fit income. the governor APP
proved the measure appropriating
S44 500, 900 a year for school aid
This is an increase of $500, 900
from last year and establishes a
new peak.
The act diScriminateS against
the metropolitan area, in That De-
troit will receive only 100000 a
year increase while communities
like Dearborn, Wyandotte, High
land Park and Crosse Pointe will
be cut as much as so per cent.
Van Wagner vetoed an act
which would have made manda-
tory one-year suspension of a
drivers license for driving while
drunk. The present mandatory
suspension is 90 days and the
driver must then show financial
responsibility or lose his license
for three years. Financial re-
sponsibility is proven most easily
by buying liability insurance.
LAWS ADVANTAGES
"The present law appears To
have advantages over the act
passed by the Legislature" the
governor commented.
He also vetoed bill which
would have removed County Clerk
Caspar j. Lingeman as clerk for
the Wayne County Road Com
mission. The measure. outcome
OF a long fight between Lingeman
and the road commission. wouid
have allowed the commission TO
name its own clerk.
"Our American system Of
checks and balances IL best fol-
lowed by retaining the present
authority Of the county clerk
over road commission activities"

upon other occasions We inquired
Of the changing" situation Of

US things remain pretty much

virtually no change in the trend
Of warmth or coolth.
More recently We mentioned
