 Ceiling On Fund
 He insisted that experience rat ing credits in effect place a ceil- ing on the compensation fund. In answer, Rep. Doris Barnes pointed out that there is also a floor to the fund and that when it drops to a certain point, experience rating credits cease.
 Both Employment Security off cials doubted that the proposed bills would damage the fund. Cris- man estimated that prolonged de- pendency benefits will cost the fund about S90,CO0 year and the $5 a week benefit increase will cost $780, GOO 0to $3O0,OOo.
 Passage of the latter bill only would increase the maximum pay mcnts A) an unemployed indi- vidual from $525 to $750, McLaugh- lin stated. Passage of both blllS would increase potential benefits to S12OO for an individual with the maximum number of dependents.
 Eighteen thousand individuals ap- piled for benefits during the past year, Crisnan told the committee. Of these, 12,226 were eligible to re- ceive benefits and 10,815 received at least one bengit choich. There were 2,308 claimants for dependency allowances.
 Crisman said that both Oregon and Washington are considering bills to increase benefits to $30 a week.

HOUSE HOLDS LONG HEARING ON TWO BILLS
(By Bob DeArmond)

Two unemployment compensation bills-H.B. g, to lengthen the time during which dependency allowano- es could be received to a full q weeks, and H.B. 10 to increase maxi mum weekly benefits to $30-occu- pide the attention of the House of Representative during most of its Saturday session, forenoon and af- ternocn
 Sitting as a Committee of the Whole with Rep. Andrew Hope in the chair. the members heard John T. Mclaughlin, director of the un- employment insurance division; George F. Crisman, coordinator for the Employment Security Commis- sion, and Cleda Mae Cammock, exc cutive secretary of the Alaska Ter ritorial Federation of Labor, on var ious aspects of the bills and their probable effect upon the conpensa- tion fund
 The fund at the end of 1851 amounted to S9,094, ,594.64 and had dropped more than two million dol lars since the end of 1949.
 Various explanations were advanc- ed for this drop.
 John Mclaughlin attributed the decrease to business recession late in 1949 and early in 1850. Without unemployment insurance" he said. i've might have had 9 major de- pression."
 Now On Upgrade
 Mclaughlin said, in answer to d question, that there will be more employment in Alaska in 1851 than in 1850 and added that benefit paw ments in January, 1851, were 50 percent lower than in January, 1850.
 George F. Crisman also looked for more employment this year and pre- oicted the fund will reach ten mill lion dollars again by the end of July.
 Representative Miscovich and Franklin, both mining men, blamed the fund depletion on the large construction jobs Of the past couple of years.
 These jobs, they pointed out, lay off large numbers of men for the winter months and since they are not classified as seasonal workers, it is possible for them to collect bene- fits.
 Mining Is Seasonal
 The mining industry, Rep. Frank lin said, largely shuts down during the winter for the same reason that construction stops-because of wea- ther conditions. The mining indus try, he said, is classified as seasonal and miners cannot draw benefits during the winter months.
 Both Franklin and Miscovitch felt the miners are discrimtnated against under the present arrange ment. Both men advocated classify ing contract construction workers in Alaska as seasonal employees. Question: by Rep. Miscovich, Me Laughlin said he knew of no action now being taken to so classify con- struction workers.
 Rep Stanley McCutcheon, the old foe of employers experience rating credits, repeatedly pointed to these

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug
29.-Jack Onslow announced to-
day he will resign as manager OF
the Chattanooga Lookouts, Wash
ington farm club, at the end of
the season to make another con-
nection."
He did not indicate what con-
nection he plans to make.
Onslow, 81, took over the South
ern Association Lookouts last
spring with reputation as hot
tempered disciplinarian. He had
been fired in mid-season of 1850
as manager of the Chicago White
Sox after a clash with the clubs
front Office.
Early this season Onslow and
Joe Engel, Lookout president,
tangled with Ossie Bluege, direc-
tor OF the Washington farm sys-

Jimmy Carter Calls
SpIit Decision Defeat
By Aragon Robbery
BY the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 90
World Champion Jimmy Carter
of New York will take his slightly
tarnished lightweight crown back
East in a few days, swearing he
will never defend it in California.
I'VE were robbed once. Never
again."
So spoke his manager, Willie
Ketchum, in bitter aftermath
of Carter's loss in a 10-round
fight last night to Art Aragon, So
called Golden Boy" of Los An
geles.
Cocky Aragon won the split
decision before a sellout crowd
of 10,400 fans who paid $47.833
gross to witness the non-title
match.
Referee Abe Roth gave Aragon
the decision by six points. Judge
Mushy Callahan awarded it to
the local boy by eight, while
Judge Joe Stone voted for the
champion by two points. The As
sociated Press Scorecard conceded
with Stones.
Ringsiders Surprised.
The defeat, 10th in SO fights
for Carter, came as surprise to
many of the ringsiders and proved
a distinct shock TO the New Yorker
and his handlers.
IT was never hurt even once,
but the blood in my eye did bother
me in the last three rounds" Car
ter said.
Aragon, trailing in the middle
rounds. caught fire when he saw
the blood streaming from Carter'S
left eyebrow as the eighth got
under way. It had been opened in
the last minute of the previous
round. Referee Roth said it was
a clean left hook but Carter
claimed he was butted.
Aragon Wins 9Th and 9th.
In any event, Aragon turned
tiger in the eighth and ninth and
apparently caught the eye OF the
officials.
Carter won the 10th, however.
Aragon weighed 1871, Carter,
1852.
Ketchum said he was canceling
a match with Chief Whitewater
in Eureka, Calf. September 8, to
let Carter's eye heal. The loss
was Carter's first in six fights
since he knocked out Champion
Ike Williams in New York last
May.

Mats Rely on Marrero

Special Dispatch 10 The Sior

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-Conrado
Marrero. the ageless and cunning
Cuban, was the Mats pitching
hope to make it a winning fare
we'll to the Western half of the
American League here today.
Absent from the winners circle
since August 4 when he white
washed the White Sox on three
hits in a SO victory. Marrero
was to oppose Lou Kretlow in the
windup of Washington's' two-game
final visit to Comiskey Park.
Kretlow, one of Manager Paul
Richards pitching waiver waits,
has gained three of his five vic
tories to date at the Washington
clubs expense.
That charm the Mats fashioned
when they last visited Chicago by
winning four straight went out the
window last night as the White
Sox gained a 4-3 payoff in 10
innings.
DOriSh Stops Mats.
Harry Dorish, another of the
White Sox waiver waits, made it
three straight victories over
Washington when Ray Coleman
dubbed double down the left
field foul line with two out in
the overtime inning.
Coleman's clout scored Nelson
Fox, who opened the inning with
a single, to give DoriSh the nod
over Dick Porterfield. The game,
one of the best played here this
thrill-packed season, proved an
air. tight duel between Dorish and
Porterf1eld.
Porterfield surrendered nine hits
as WaShington's five-game win
streak came to an end and DoriSh
allowed but eight as Chicago
climbed to a 1876 seasonal series
edge over Bucky Harris battlers.
Washington broke on top with a
run powered by Clyde Kluttz's
double in the second inning. The
White Sox came back with three
in the home half as Fox smashed
his ninth triple for the first pair
and Al Zarilla flied for the third
score.
Mats Tie in Sixth.
The Mats tied it up with a two
run kick in the sixth when Mickey
Vernon was credited with a single
and awarded two extra bases as
Eddie Robinson, one-time Nat,
tossed his glove at a Vernon belt
past first base.
This scored Gil Coan, author of
three of the losers eight hits. A
moment later. Mickey got across
on a long double by Cass Michaels,
former White SoX.
Fox started the 10th with
single and Zarilla sacrificed. Then
Coleman doubled.
