o. Reconsideration by Congress
of the Brynes proposal for a mini

pensation of $40 for as long as 26
weeks. He said the state unem-
ployment systems have accumu-
lated reserves of S., 100000, 900 and
they should now act to iberalize
the benefits and make the state
systems serve their true purpose :"
In discussing employment pros
poets Byrnes observed that 1.-THE
prosecution of the war against
Japan will demand the continued
production of great quantities of
war materials" and said "basic
industries such as steel and tex
tiles will not be affected" by the
end of the European war.
He also indicated that shipyard
employment will continue at a high
level, saying ''the maritime COM
mission, like the navy, has a ire
mendous task to perform in the
war of the Pacific. The surrender
of Germany will not lessen the
necessity for the construction of
certain types of ships. but it will
make possible the cancellation Of
some ships"
But, Byrnes continued, it is Gin
evitable that in some particular
industries and in some communi-
ties there should temporarily be
reduced employment. This is more
likely to occur where the curtail-
ment is in government owned
plants engaged entirely in war pro.
duction and having no plans for
civilian production.
To meet this situation, Byrnes
has appointed committee which
is now at work interviewing con-
tractors to determine whether they

grams to civilian production.
3 Retention of existing price

have been produced throughout the
war.
A. Removal of additional foods
from the ration list Gas soon as
supplies justify removal"
5--Increase of gasoline alowan-
ces for civilians in certain areas"
as We day will reduce war needs
but continuation of rationing.
6-That Congress appropriate up
to $4,000, 100000 to carry out the
farm support rice' commitment
Byrnes said We day would release
approximately 5000, 900 tons of food
from the wartime reserve for other
uses and the reduced demand
might bring market prices below
