Consumer Hardships
Seen as UnIike|yin
Civilian Rubber Cut

The cut of 10 to 20 per cent in
new rubber for civilian goods in
the next four months should work
little if any hardship on the aver
age consumer, in the opinion Of
Federal and industry spokesmen.
Supplies on hand are far in ex-
cess of those prior to World War
II, 1t was said, and even if war in
the Far East further curtails i'm
ports of natural rubber, the coun-
try now has synthetic industry
capable of producing some 940 900
tons year.
A tire dealer in WASHINGTON
said that prices of some standard
makes have advanced from 10 to
Is per cent recently, while truck
tires have gone up as much as 20
per cent.
Part of this rise was due, he
said, to price-cutting here prior
to the war in Korea.
With the price Of natural rub
ber from the Far East more than
doubled in the last six months, the
Government has been stepping up
production in the synthetic plants
it built in the last war.
"Not Drastic" Sawyer Says.
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer,
who ordered the cut under author
ity of the Rubber Act recently ex-
tended by Congress, said the re-
duction is not drastic" and should
permit sufficient production for
normal civilian use."
In a statement last night, Harry
E. Humphreys, jr., president of the
United States Rubber Co., de-
clared the supply situation is "en-
tirely different" from that of 1941.
t"We now have a great synthetic
rubber industry capable of produc-
ing 100000 tons a year, and a
growing stockpile of natural rub
ber." he added. I'VE also have
the technical knoledge to switch
quickly from natural to synthetic
rubber If necessary"
The spokesman said his COM
pany has modernized its chemical
and textile facilities in a s1O2 mil
lion expansion program since the
end of World War II.
Synthetic Rubber Affected.
The Commerce Department cut
seeks to reduce civilian consump-
ton in order to supply Govern
ment needs, mostly for military
use and strategic stockpiling.
The restriction applies to syn
thetic as well as natural rubber.
Harvey E. Firestone, chairman
of the Firestone Tire & Rubber
Co., said the new limitations are
"co-operative effort between the
Government and industry to pro-
vide sufficient raw material for
our military requirements and
also to meet essential civilian
needs"
He predicted the move will en-
able the Government to complete
its stockpile sooner and aid the
manufacturers to maintain the
high standard Of quality which
proved valuable in the last war.
He added: :aa ...,..l a ...
This action also creates an in
centive for the Government to
step up its synthetic rubber pro-
duction program. This means not
only increased production from
existing plants but reactivating
standby plants more quickly.
When this Is accomplished there
should be an adequate supply Of
new rubber for military and civil
ian needs" 60, -.- .-. s -

payrolls, the legislation should be
amended to provide assistance to
such States through reinsurance
grants when their funds approach
exhaustion. This will be q major
step toward strengthening our Fed
Ieral-State system of unemployment
insurance, since it will. without de-
tracing from the independence Of
State action, gain some Of the ad-
vantages Of pooled reserves.
A strengthened unemployment
insurance system not only will fur
nish more adequate aid to those
who become unemployed, but also
will do more to maintain the high
volume of consumer purchasing
power so necessary to the welfare
of the entire economy. Thus it is
a strong element in our program
to support growth and expansion
in the economy.
Our essential economic problem
is to put to sound, productive use
our increasing technical knowledge
and our growing labor force. To this
end, We need imaginative and en-
terprising investment-in plant ca
pacity, in new equipment, in basic
resource development. To this end,
we need vigorous competition and
a growing number of new businesses.
To this end, We need a stable agri-
culture, sensible wage-price-profit
decisions, and mature labor man.
agement relations. To this end, we
need an expanding world economy,
with productive flow OF interna-
tional trade and investment.
Both private and public policies
must be directed to these purposes,
and have recommended a series
Of measures to the Congress for
Federal action. My present pro-
posal to strengthen our unemploy-
ment insurance system is one of
these measures.
I am particularly urging action
at this session of Congress on un-
employment insurance because State
legislation must follow the Federal
amendments. Action by the Con-
gress this year would clear the way
for State action in 1941, when prac-
tically all Of the State legislatures
will be meeting in regular session.
But the primary reason for con-
gressional action is the real need of
those who are unemployed. The
unemployment insurance system is
a tried and proven means of as
sisting them. That system urgently
needs strengthening. I therefore
request favorable consideration Of
these recommendations at this
session Of Congress.

individuals who attempt to obtain
benefits through Misrepresentation
| During the last few years, some
! States have considerably enlarged
the number of reasons for disquali-
flying workers who seek unemploy-
ment benefits and have increased
the severity of penalties for dis
qualification. These excessive dis
qualifications have operated to pre-
vent persons who are genuinely out
of work through no fault of their
own from receiving benefits. These
over-severe disqualification pro-
visions, which penalize the inno-
cent along with the guilty, should
be corrected.
Fifth, recommend, at this time,
two improvements in the financing
arrangements for unemployment
insurance.
Proposes Special Fund.
Since the beginning of the pro-
gram, small part of the unemploy-
ment tax has been collected by the
Federal Government and included
in general Federal revenues. The
administrative costs of the program
both Federal and State-have
been paid out of general Federal
revenues, and have never been as
large as the Federal unemployment
tax collections. I propose that the
Federal unemployment tax be paid
into a special Federal unemploy-
ment account in the Unemployment
Trust Fund (Which now includes
the separate State reserve accounts
for the payment Of benefits. This
account would be used exclusively
to pay the cost of State and Federal
administration Of the employment
security program, and the cost of
reinsurance grants, to be available
to States that encounter tempo
rarily severe financial difficulties.
Experience has demonstrated that
the cost of unemployment insurance
varies widely among the different
States. This is mainly due to diff
ferences in each States economic
structure and in the incidence of
unemployment in certain industries,
which are beyond the control of the
individual State. It has become evil
dent that few States, while able
to finance an adequate system of
unemployment insurance in normal
periods, may not be able to main
tain the solvency of their unemploy-
ment funds in period of severe
unemployment under the present
financial provisions provided in the
Federal legislation. So that these
States will not be forced to increase
their tax rates unduly during peri
DDS of declining employment and
Evening star., 1950-04-07

would find no trouble meeting the
additional costs within the 2.7 pei
cent tax rate.
| Consequently, I believe that the
standards I propose will achieve
substantial Improvement in the un-
employment system, benefiting both
workers and businessmen, at very
reasonable costs. AS is the case at
present with respect to coverage, the
Federal law should not prevent the
States from exceeding the minimum
standards if they wish to do so.
Third, I recommend that adequate
methods should be required to pro-
vide benefits for workers who move
from one State to another.
Clearly worker who Is employed
in two different States during a
year is as entitled to unemployment
insurance benefits when out of work
as worker who is employed in only
one. The States have generally
recognized this, and have attempted
voluntarily to work out methods for
paying benefits in such interstate
cases. They have, however, been
only partially successful. Interstate
workers generally must wait much
longer to receive benefits than in
trastate workers. Furthermore, the
benefits of many interstate workers
are lower than If they had worked
in only one State.
1t is a difficult problem to de-
velop adequate methods for paying
benefits promptly and equitably to
interstate workers in our Federal
State unemployment insurance sys-
tenn. Nevertheless, it is in the ma
tional interest to encourage the mo-
bility of labor, since that is indis-
pensable to economic expansion in
a free society like ours. Conse-
quently, I believe that the States
should be required to adopt such
methods as are necessary to pro-
vide fair and adequate protection
for interstate workers.
Revised Fraud Laws.
Fourth, I recommend that both
Federal and State laws concerning
fraud and disqualifications should
be revised and improved.
It was a weakness in the original
Federal legislation that it did not
clearly require the States to deal
adequately with the question of
fraud. Some States-without going
to uneconomical extremes in inspec-
ton and policing-have instituted
effective methods for preventing or
detecting fraudulent claims. I be-
lieve. however, that the Federal law
should be clarified so that all States
can be required to have adequate
means for dealing with those few

Though she has never had les
son in art, the speaker stated that
she feels one can have much
pleasure and relaxation with art,
music or poetry, if one has nat
ural ability in any line. She did
a series of out-of-doors scenes
which she said always pleases her
fancy. As she drew she had de-
lightful line of patter, both phil
osophical and humorous, inter-
spresed with numerous quotations
and incidents from the Bible,
weaving in much of her original
poetry.
She stressed the need of every
woman for creative hobby.
Subjects upon which she touched
were, appreciation of nature, bea-
uty of the various phases of a
woman's life; that the greatest
realities of life are things unseen;
that one should keep young in
spirit, getting joy out of each day
as one lives it. She closed with
a serious and lovely Prayer
