WHEATLAND. Okla, Nov. ID.
Someone today had yanked
down irate Wheatland citizens
signs directing thirsty travellers
to the house where they could
buy liquor in legally dry Okla

But the Wheatland folks de-
clared they will erect bigger and
better signs in a few days, and
post armed guards to protect
them.
Fed UP with being awakened
at all hours by tipplers wanting
to know where the bootlegger

this tiny community near Okla
homa City put up signs yester-
day afternoon, giving directions
to the whisky establishment just
over the county line in Canadian

U. 5. Begins Study
On Adequacy Of Job
Insurance Benefits
BY the Associated Press

Secretary of Labor Mitchell
today announced a study to de-
termine whether workers get
enough from the present scale
of unemployment compensation
benefits to tide them over job
less periods.
Mr.. Mitchell said his depart
ment's Bureau of Employment
Security was launching a pilot
study in several labor market
areas and intended to broaden
the investigation into a national
survey.
Benefits presently range from
a low of about SO per week to a
high of $33. Different States
pay different amounts and for
varying lengths of time. The
program is financed by a per
cent tax on employer payrolls.
but experience rating" allow
ances permit reduction of this
tax rate.
Full Cooperation Needed.
"Such a study will, of course.
require the full cooperation of
the State employment security
agencies which administer the
State employment security pro-
grams" Mr.. Mitchell said. "The
bureau is utilizing the help of
State personnel in developing
the plans and methods to be
used in the survey"
Some of the facts the bureau
wants to know include: How
much workers spend while work.
ing and what they spend when
unemployed; what claimants for
jobless consider as their nom
deferrable expenditures; whether
benefits are sufficient for these
expenses; what portion of family
income these benefits represent,
or whether secondary wage earn
erS help out; what adjustments
a worker must make when he
becomes unemployed.
Aimed at Basic Needs.
The Labor Department pointed
out that when the unemploy-
ment insurance program began
paying benefits it was assumed
that if weekly ymen S
amounted to half the jobless
workers recent wages, the bene-
fits would cover basic necessities
without requiring the worker to
draw upon other resources.
The department said that in
1889 benefits amounted to about
40.8 per cent of average weekly
wages. but in 1852 they averaged
S3 per cent.

ing postal group.
But Senator Carlson made it
plain that proposed pay raises
for both classified and postal
employees will have to be justified
to Congress on the basis of i'm
proved and more economical
personnel practices.
Productivity Is the Key.
Senator Carlson told the
postal group that better man
agement and personnel practices
can result in increased produc-
tivity on the part of employees.
1T works that way in private
industry" Senator Carlson de-
clared. Studies show that dur
ing the past few decades indus
trial productivity per man, or per
man hour of work, has increased
at an average of three per cent
a year. That is the real, true,
economic basis for the steady
rise in wages in private industry
in recent decades. Increased pro-
ductivity, and only increased pro-
ductivity. has made this rise
economically possible"
Senator Carlson added: "I

and pay for the pay increases
through higher productivity
Several of the pay raises for
Government classified employees
during recent years have been
absorbed in good part by the
agencies through reduction of
employment by attrition. Sem
ator Carlson's speech suggested
that this same procedure will
have to be used again if another
Evening star., 1953-11-15

pay boost is enacted by Congress
Since the Government cur
rently is engaged in a reduction
by-attrition programmed filling
any but the most essential per-
sonnel vacancies-this would not
impose too great a hardship on
the agencies, unless the entire
| cost of the pay boost would have
to be absorbed.
Senator Carlson also indicated
that other personnel economies,
such as greater work output
through more enlightened and
progressive personnel manage
ment policies and employe ef-
fort also will have to be utilized
to trim payroll costs.
Senator Carlson's speech i'm
piled that Congress will have to
be convinced that personnel
economies are in the making be-
fore it approves a Federal pay
boost.
Senator Carlson urged that
the Post Office Department as
well as other Federal agencies
adopt modern personnel man
agement techniques.
Constructive Steps.
He told his postal audience
that these steps should be taken:
l. Aptitude tests to determine
the most effective placement
and assignments for new en-
ployes as we'll as present work.
ers. This has been used to great
advantage in private industry,
Senator Carlson declared.
2. On-the-job training pro-
grams for employees.
3. Pay incentive plans under
which salary increases would be
given for outstanding work.
4. A morale-building program
in which employees would be
made a greater part of the
team
Il would even go further than
telling the employe the why
after it has been made" Sena-
tor Carlson said. Il would in
form him of a proposed change
in advance. Many times the
man on the job is the first to
see the bugs in a new proce-
dure-defects that may not oc-
cur to the man at the top too
far removed from the job. AS
a result, the proposed new rule
is modified and improved be-
fore it is issued"

testimony that he belonged to a
Red spy network.
Democrats as well as Repub-
licans on Capitol Hill began to
build up pressure to call Mr.
Hoover before a Congressional
committee to answer whether he
approved Whites retention in
the Treasury and. later, the
Monetary Fund.
Senate Republican leader
Knowland of California said the
whole story of the FBI deal was
"a White herring"
KnOwland Is Skeptical.
Il have grave doubts that he
(Mr. Hoover) ever approved
such an arrangement" Senator
Knowland said in an interview.
He said Mr.. Hoover could
clarity the dispute if he testi-
fed. Also approving the idea of
calling Mr.. Hoover to the wit
ness stand were Senator Fer
guson, Republican, of Michigan,
and Democratic Senators Ellen
der of Louisiana, Gore of Tenn
essee and Mansfield of Montana.
Senator Ferguson issued a list
of 10 questions which he said he
wanted Mr.. Truman to answer
Senator Knowland cracked
that Mr.. Truman should make
a fortnight and complete state
ment to the American people,
and I hope it will be done in the
immediate future, and not
through the sale of an article to
a national magazine"
Senator Knowland said this
before Mr.. Truman announced
he would deliver his radio-TV
address tomorrow.
Subpoena Curbs Suggested.
When the White case broke
Mr.. Truman was in New York
comforting with the editors of
Time and Life magazine about
publication of his memoirs, for
which he is reported to be re-
ceivine 100000.
Senator Knowland said interest
in the White case should not be
distracted by a controversy over
whether Mr.. Truman and
Supreme Court Justice Clark
should answer subpoenas to
testify. Senator Knowland said
this was a side issue. but Sug-
gested additional restrictions on
the iSSuances of subpoenas by
congressional committees.
He said they should not be
issued without the consent of
more than one or two committee
members.
The Un-American Activities
Committee, on instructions from
Chairman Velde of Illinois
served subpoenas on Mr.. Truman
and Mr., Clark, but both refused
to respond. They said the sub
poenas violated the constitu-
tional principle of separation of
the Executive, Legislative and
judicial branches of Govern
ment.
The Un-American Activities
Committee, under pressure from
the Republican National Com
mittee, has been backing away
from the case in favor of the
Senate Internal Security SUBJ
committee.
