which President Walter Reuther
said would "avoid further unem-
ployment and hardship"
To Aid Unemployed.
The program includes the pro-
posed appropriation of Federal
funds to supplement State unem-
ployment compensation. Workers
laid off as a result of defense
mobilization could receive 10 hours
pay weekly "for the duration of
their unemployment" under the
plan.
Mr.. Reuther declared that the
cost of shifting from civilian to
defense production should be
shared by all the people" The
UAW program was approved by
its 23-member International Ex-
ecutive Board.
The program was outlined in
kilograms yesterday to President
Truman, Mobilization Director
Charles E. Wilson and National
Production Administrator Manly
