JobIess Aid Board
Payments Reach New
Low Of 362 Checks

The Unemployment Compensation
Board, which recently paid out q
new low of only 1862 weekly claim
checks, still has under consideration
steps with which to broaden unem-
ployment benefits in the District
Lewis S. Springer, acting director of
the board, said yesterday.
In addition to consideration OF
covering Government workers, the
boards staff is studying the posi-
bility of extending coverage to work
ers of such organizations as hos
pitfalls, religious and charitable insti-
tutions.
A study is also being made Of ex-
tending the durational period from
20 to 26 weeks in the District. Mary
land has extended its durationa
period for payments to 26 weeks
with payments ranging from ST tt
$40, according to Mr.. Springer. The
acting director said, however, thai
he thought the District would sit
tight for awhile" and pointed ou1
that the District had one of the most
liberal laws in the country.
The number of persons drawing
claim check for the week ending
April IA fell to the 1862 figure from
some $50 issued during a similal
period of last year The board sale

Tire Rations for Civilians
Nav Be Boosted in June

Civilian tire rations may be in
creased in June for the first time
in months, it was learned yester-
day as the War Production Board
announced a revised production
schedule for all tires during the
second quarter of this year.
The new second-quarter schedule
calls for 100000 passenger and
motorcycle tires. compared with' an
original program of 1850 This
is an increase of nearly IS per cent.
Office of Price Administration
sources indicated that while the
increased production rate would
not affect May rations. 1t probably
would be reflected in improved sup
plies for essential users in June.
No hope can be held out for any
new tires for A card motorists in
the near future. it was emphasized
WPB's rubber bureau also an
nounced it has scheduled 10000, 900
pounds of comeback for recapping
during the April-May-June period

Regulations Due Soon
On Veterans Buying
OF Surplus Property
By MIRIAM GUTENBERG.


The Surplus Property Board is ex-
pected to complete regulations soon
giving preference to veterans
anxious to buy military surplus, it
was learned last night.
Tentative decisions on how this
phase of the surplus property pro-
gram should be carried out follow
increasing protests from both vet
Grams and members of Congress
that veterans are not getting the
special consideration they have been
promised.
Particularly cited were the vet
Grams wanting to buy automotive
equipment who have found they
must make their purchase through
dealers rather than direct from the
( Government.
The dealers, according to pro-
tests reaching the board. have
bought the equipment at the low
surplus price and sold at the much
higher OPA ceiling prices.
No Procedure Set Up.
Congress provided that the Sur
plus Property Board could write
regulations giving suitable pref
erence'' to veterans seeking sur
plus equipment needed to start and
maintain their own small businesses,
professional or agricultural enter
prises. No time was lost in telling
veterans about it--only' to have
them discover no plans were made
to carry out the promises.
Board officials have been working
on the regulations for the past 10
weeks and expect to have them
completed within a short time Ac-
cording to Col. E. c. tkayanagh
chief Of the veterans division OF
the board, these proposals are now
under consideration by the inter-
agency subcommittee for submis-
sion to the board
l. A period of Is to 20 days would
be allotted to give veterans the
opportunity to buy the surplus
goods. They would rank below Fed
eral, State and local governments
and public health and education
agencies, but ahead of all other
civilians except farmers, who would
share the same period of preference
with the veterans.
Small-Lot Program.
2. Some surplus stocks of personal
items, such as new shirts, socks
shoes and similar Army equipment
that could be used for work clothes
would be made availab BILE at separa-
ton centers SO that ex-servicemen
could buy them at low cost i'm
mediateyl after discharge.
3. Surplus property would be sold
to veterans in small enough lots tc
tit the smaller pocketbooks.
4. A certain percentage of all the
surplus stocks would be set aside for
veterans. Just what equipment this
would include would depend on the
results OF an Army survey of SOL
diers now underway to determine
what the men want to buy.
5. To protect the interests of the
last men to be discharged, a meth
cd would be devised to reserve part
of the surplus stocks for them.
AS far as possible, sales to vet
Grams, according to present plans,
will be made directly or through
such existing Government facilities
such as the Smaller War Plants
Corp. While the trend would be
away from middlemen, it was I'M
derstood there is some feeling in
the board to keep dealers in the

vided that Attorney Isaac r. Hit,
former Police Court Judge, executor
of the estate, should have the bodies
of the daughter and mother placed
| in a chapel vault at Prospect Hill

a granite mausoleum be built on a
family lot in cemetery at Water

tered there If this were not finan-
cially possible, the will provided they
will be buried here.
| While Mr. Hit could not be
reached to comment on the will last
night, his former law partner, r. B.

not make the mauSoleum project

Heirlooms Left to Baroness.

court to establish the copy as the

listed Mrs Woodward's property as
her home, valued at Sc $780, and per-

Tariff Cut Expected
To Win Approval But
Trade Bill Faces Fight
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

The administration probably will
win House approval of its program
for further tariff reductions to pro-
mote world trade in the postwar era
but may have. to do some compro-
missing to get its new reciprocal trade
bill through the Senate.
This was the forecast of informed
sources on Capitol Hill last night, as
the first week of hearings before
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee ended with Assistant Sec
rotary of State Clayton completing
his defense of the measure.
Chairman Doughton announced
that Secretary of Commerce Wallace
will be the next witness when the
hearings are resumed at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
Seeks Rate Cut.
The administration is seeking au-
thority to bargain with other ma
lions for expanded trade oppor-
tunities by cutting tariff rates so
per cent below the levels of Janu-
airy, l945. on the theory that a
greater volume of foreign trade will
be required to- keep Americas pres
ent industrial machinery going.
Computing the cuts from January
OF this year will mean that duties
already cut so per cent under the
old law may be reduced again. In
such cases the overall cut could
then be rs per cent below the rates
set by the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act
Republicans are preparing to fight
further reductions on the theory
that American industry and workers
will prosper more if protected from
the competition of imports from
countries with lower standards of
living, and lower costs.
Supporters of the bill expect a
close verdict in the House commit
tee. which consists of IS Democrats
and 10 Republicans. They believe
they will have a safer margin on
the House floor, but admit that
when the issue reaches the Sem
ate the outcome will be doubtful.
Would Approve Extension.
II the bill proposed straight eX-
tension of the present law, limited
to one so per cent cut in the old
Smoot- Hawley rates, it probably
would 60 through without serious
opposition. The fight will center
around the additional power, and
the extension of it for three years.
Mr.. Wallace revealed before a
Senate Small Business Subcommit-
tee last week that he regards the
new trade agreement measure i'm
perative' to an expanding postwar
foreign trade
The hearings thus far indicate
the Republicans are laying the
groundwork for the hardest fight
they have made against the low
tariff doctrine since the reciprocal
trade program was inaugurated in
1885. 1t will be one of the most
important debates of this session,
because of the part it may play in
next years congressional elections |
The present Trade Agreement Act |
expires June II and it probably will
be close to that date before the
two Houses dispose of the bill.
