Cut in JobIess
Fund Delays
State Payments

SACRAMENTO, July "a. (UP)-
The California employment stabili-
cation commission Monday an
nounced that its budget for the
state unemployment insurance pro-
gram for the present fiscal year
has been cut by $538.000, forcing a
pCstponement of virtually all
preparations for a postwar unem-
ployment load.
The budget cut, resulting from
bureau of the budget and congress
sional action, will result in the re-
moval of So persons from the de-
partment of employment staff and
prevent filling of any CT l49 places
now vacant, Homer w Buckley,
chairman of the commission, said.
Buckley explained that total UNI
employment agency budgets for the
nation were $33,000,000 which was
cut $2OOO,OO0 by the budget bureau
and another $2,OO0O0O by Congress.
California. he pointed out, will
stand Is per cent of the total ma
tiCnal cut.
One result of the budget cut,
Buckley said. may be that the de-
partment may not be able to pay
unemployment insurance CLAIM
promptly, in view of rising claims
load.
1.-The department has no choice
but to meet the terms of this cur
tailment," Buckley said, but the
commission wants it made clear to
the employer. to labor and to the
people of California that the service
heretofore given by the department
will be curtailed in proportion to
the budget cut. Protests are being
made to the social security board"
