~ Million More
To Get Job Benefits
By the Associated Press

The Labor Department esti-
mates that an additional IT. mil
lion workers will be covered by
unemployment compensa :
ton laws beginning January /.
The additional coverage, re-
sulting from changes in Federal
and State laws during the last
two years, will extend benefits of
unemployment insurance to a
record 40 million in 1856, Under
secretary of Labor Arthur Lar
son said yesterday.
The Federal law was changed
in 1854 to require coverage by
firms employing four or more
persons beginning January /.
1856. The previous requirement
involved employers of eight or
more, although many State laws
already covered business estab-
lishments with fewer employees.
During the current year, leg
lislatures Of "a States changed
their laws to meet the new Fed
yeral requirement. All other
States previously had provided
for coverage of businesses with
four or more employees.

3-Way Attack
On Pollution
in Bill
BY the Associated Press

A bill to provide a three-way
attack on water pollution prob.
lens is being considered by Rep.
resentative Bailey, Democrat Of
West Virginia.
He said he is preparing legis-
lation which would:
/. Help municipalities finance
pollution control plants.
2. Provide for sealing aban-
doned mines.
3. Aid industries to install pol
luton disposal equipment.
To help municipalities finance
the high cost Of sewage treat
ment plants, Mr.. Bailey said he
will propose authorization Of
Federal loans up to two-thirds
Of the cost over a 30-year period,
Present law, he said, provides
for a one-third cost loan.
But most municipalities can't
raise that much money" he told
a reporter.
Under his proposal, the mu-
nicipality would pay back the
loan over a 30-year period out OF
charges for use of the disposal
plant.
Industries would be helped
under his plan by the Federal
Government permitting amor
Itization Of the disposal equip
Iment cost from corporation OF
other Federal taxes.
Mr.. Bailey said the Federal
Government would bear the cost
Iof sealing abandoned mines un-
der his proposal. But mine
Owners would be required in the
future to seal mines when they
are abandoned.
Under a previous program, he
added. about one-third of the
abandoned mines in West Vir-
ginia were sealed.
MY idea is to appropriate
enough money to seal all aban-
doned mines in the 13 or IA
States having such a problem,
he said.

els Trying Out
.'AerocycIes'

The Army is experimenting
with a new one-man flying ma
chine which 1t says an infantry
man can learn to pilot in 20
minutes.
Twelve of the contraptions,
called "aerocycles," have been
bought for tests that are part
'of the Army's continuing effort
to increase the mobility of foot
soldiers"
The Army said yesterday the
machines were purchased from
IDelackner Helicopter. Inc,
Mount Vernon. N. Y, which de-
veloped them.
The aerocycle bears a resem-
blance both to small helicopters
and the Nays flying plat
form" The pilot stands on a
platform over rotor blades and
guides the machine by leaning
in the direction he wants to go.
Speeds up to IS miles an hour
are attained by manipulating a
throttle on handlebars, much
like on a motorcycle.
Mounted under the rotor
blades which provide the upward
lift. are one large inflated plas-
tic doughnut and four smaller
plastic cylinders attached to the
end Of rods. The five plastic
bags provide stability while the
machine Is in the air and also
act as shock absorbers for land
ing. and fiotation If the landing
happens to be on water.
The aerocycle is designed to
carry pay load of about 800
pounds and has a range Of about
$50 miles.
The rotor blades are powered
by a two-cycle cupboard motor
rated at "a horsepower.
