Administration Bill
On JobIess Pay Called
Up for Hearing JuneS
By Robert K. Welsh

Changes proposed by President
Eisenhower in unemployment
compensation provisions will be
considered at public hearings in
June, the House Ways and Means
Committee announced today as
1t prepared to report out an old
age insurance revision measure.
Both the bill ready to be sent
to the House today and the hear
ings scheduled to start June 8
deal with the two main parts of
Gen. Eisenhower's suggested
broadening and improvement of
the Social Security system.
The act to extend old age and
survivors insurance coverage to
several million additional per-
sons and to- provide for larger
benefit payments, was to have
been formally voted on by the
committee yesterday and re-
ported Immediately to the
House.
Because the House was not in
session, the committee postponed
until this afternoon a final vote
on section section agreements
already made and to finish an
explanatory statement. House
leaders hope to bring this bill
to the floor next Wednesday or
Thursday. It is expected to re-
ceive House and Senate approval
without much opposition. g.
Conforms to Proposals.
This bulky measure conforms
in general to proposals in the
Presidents message of last jan
uary, but is limited to old age
and survivors insurance. Some
Democrats as well as Republi-
cans in the House raised doubts
in recent weeks that Congress
this year would have a chance
to act on recommendations re-
lating to unemployment compen-
sation sections of the Social Sc
curity law.
There still was no certainly
that such further legislation will
reach House and Senate floors
before adjournment. But Chair
man Reed declared his commit
tee will consider it as thorough
ly and rapidly as possible.
The forthcoming hearings will
take up several tentative bills in
addition to the one Mr. Reed
introduced April Is. Mr.. Reed
said his bill was designed to i'm
plement several of the Eisen-
hover Administrators proposals
to amend unemployment COM
pensation sections of the law.
Aid for Federal Workers.
Witnesses will be heard also
on bills introduced by Repre-
sentatives Forand, Democrat. of
Rhode Island; Mason, Repub-
lican, of Illinois, and Dingell,
Democrat of Michigan, to pro-
vide unemployment insurance
for Federal civilian employees.
Those three sponsors are mem
bers of the Ways and Means
Committee.
A bill put in by Representative
Baker, Republican, of Tennessee,
likewise will be discussed at the
hearings. This measure, Mr..
Baker explained, would assist
in aneviating the effects of un-
employment from Federal tariff
or trade policy by establishing a
temporary program of supple
mentary grants for States" Such
r. n program, he added, would
liberalize unemployment pay
ments to persons who lose jobs
because of Federal tariff or
trade policy"
Principal Changes.
The Reed bill would make the
following principal changes in
the unemployment compensation
procedure:
1. Extend coverage to employ
ers of one or more persons. In
