MILLER RESIGNS, CASTLES new HEAD
OF UNEMPL OYMENT COMMISSION

Wesley Castles, Missoula count,
attorney land Republican candidate
for attorney general in the recen
general election, according to report
reaching this office, has been nance
by Gov.-elect J. Hugo Aronson, t.
succeed M. Joe Miller as head OF
the Unemployment Compensation
| Commission.
M. Joe Miller, Wednesday,, an
nounced that he will resign his po-
sition as chairman and executive di-
re, or of the Montana Unemployment
Compensation Commission on Janu-
airy 5, effective at the earliest pos
sible date at the discretion of the in
coming Governor, Hugo Aronson.
II have offered" Mr.. Miller said,
"my fullest cooperation with Cover
nor Aronson to the end that the
transition to my successor may not
interrupt the direct local office coun-
ter payment of unemployment insur-
ance benefits to qualified unemploy-
ed workers, both civilian and vet
eran, or the functioning of services
to employers and jobseekers.
Miller was appointed to head the
commission on March 1, 1850. In an
nouncing his resignation he pointed
to major advancements made under
his Craftsmanship, citing direct pay
ment of claims at the local office,
maintenance of current wage rec
ords, notification to employers of
claims matters affecting them, actu-
arial study of the unemployment in
surance system, curbing of fraudu-
lent inroads upon the fund, and cul-
tivation of cordial understanding be-
tween employers, workers, and the
commission, of their rights and re-
sponsibilities under the laws.
''The study on benefit financing"
Miller said, furnishes lawmakers
and the public with a sound fiscal
basis for adjusting the insurance plan
to meet changing economic condi-
tions. 1t points out Montana's unique
position of being financially able to
increase the range of weekly bene-
fits and at the same time reduce pay
roll tax paid by employers, without
the reserve fund"
Today's figures on that fund show
almost $40,000,000 in reserve, as
compared with nearly $30,000,000
