on grievance.
2. An overweight sweetheart,

a terrible sponge who hadn't

returned from a f1ve-week over

criticism for Mr.. Mcleod. the

chief. "a good law" Mr.. Celler
said, "has been prostituted by the
insane, arbitrary and savage adj

Mr.. Walter said in an inter-

The law, signed August Z,
1853. authorizes admission to
this country of 214,000 refugees
outside the regular immigration
quotas during the three years
ending December 81, 1856. Lat
est figures from the State De-

Two Senators Predict
Housing Law Topping
President S Figures
BY the Assoeioted Press

Two Democratic Senators@said
today they believe the next Con-
gress will authorize more new
low-rent public housing than
they expect President Eisenhower
to recommend.
The similar statements were
made in separate interviews by
Senator Sparkman, Democrat. of
Alabama. a member of the Sem
ate Banking subcommittee which
handles housing legislation. and
Senator Humphrey. Democrat. of
Minnesota.
Each said the present law Is
too restrictive and that he will
propose changes in it.
Albert M. Cole. Federal Hous-
in Administrator. has indicated
Gen. Eisenhower may ask Con-
gress to authorize the construc-
tion of 10000 low-rent public
housing units in the next two
years. Gen. Eisenhower this year
asked a four-year program of
100000 units. but Congress au-
thorized $4,000 units for each
of two years.
For Low Income Bracket.
Such housing projects are de-
signed for persons in low in
come brackets. The Federal
Government pays to local hous-
ing authorities the difference
between the amount of rents
collected from the tenants and
the cost of maintaining the
properties.
Senator Sparkman said the
35,000-unit limit is so hedged
in by restrictions that it is
doubtful whether more than
10000 units a year could be
built.
"These restrictions must be
removed" he said, and added
he expects they will be when
Congress acts on proposed ex-
tension of the act.
Senator Sparkman said he
would prefer "a flexible law"
which would leave it up to the
President and the budget bureau
to recommend each year how
many units should be built, the
final decision to rest with Con-
gress.
Senator Humphrey said that
II the law does not limit the
number of units to be built, 'it
should be not less than $4,000
year. and I limit it to that only
because of our budgetary prob
lems."
Would End Red Tape.
He said he will introduce pro-
posed amendments soon after
Congress convenes January 5,
seeking to eliminate what he
termed star too much red tape"
He said the present law re-
quires that "for every public
housing unit built. you must
tear down an old housing unit,
and relocate the family living in
the old unit" He said that in
wolves such burdensome plan.

Revision of Montana'S UnemplOy
ment Compensation Act has been il
the news considerably of late weeks
Labor is asking that weekly benefits
be materially increased, that coverage
be extended to more wage earners
and that the waiting period before 8
jobless workman is eligible for com
pensation be reduced from two weeks
to one. Management, on the other
hand, is not inclined to favor any
substantial increase in the present
weekly maximum benefit of $23 a
week, is resisting extension of cover
age, and now is favoring the build
ing of the UCC reserve fund to $75
million.
How does Montana's jobless pay
law compare with other states of the
nation? Here are some enlightening
statistics, reported by the Council of
State Governments in "The Book of
the States, 1954-55".
The average weekly unemployment
compensation payment received by
Montana jobless is about nineteen
dollars. Thirty-five states pay higher
average weekly benefits than does
Montana.
Contrasted with the $23 weekly
benefit paid under the
Montana law, Nevada pays maxi
mum of $50 a week. Forty-one states
pay higher weekly maximum benefits
than does Montana. The six states
that pay lower benefits are all in
the "deep south"
Weekly maximums paid by other
Rocky Mountain states are: Idaho,
s25; North Dakota, $32; South Da-
1ota, S25; Washington, $50; Wyo-
ming, $50; Utah, $3.50, and Colo
ado, $35.
Montana pays benefits for maxi
mum of 20 weeks. In % states job
ess workmen are eligible for bene-
its for "a to 20 weeks.
Montana jobless pay schedules are
he same whether workman is single
T has whole houseful of dependents.
Vine states now provide two to five
ollars a week for each dependent.
7hese are Arizona, Connecticut,
Iaryland, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, and
