Nome Kids Get Ride on Runaway Ice FlOe

The shore ice anchored in front of town broke away last evening when a strong north wind was blowing, taking three children who were on it and causing con- siderable excitement, as it moved fast.
 The children were Angelo Buff as IT,, Steve Peterson, and Bobby Davis.
 Two skin boats belonging to Ralph Olanna and Sam Mogg went out after them. They were picked up about a half mile from shore. The boys state they were not scared or worried.
 Within an hour the ice was all most out of sight.

The CAV and JobIess Insurance

from business and industry II
the movement for . guaran-
teed annual wage should
spread.
The case for increase Of
unemployment benefits on its
merits was well put by Presi-
dent Eisenhower In his eco
nomic report to Congress In
January:
From the standpoint Of the
unemployed worker, weekly
benefits should be sufficiently
high to provide the basic ne
cesSities. From the standpoint
Of the economy, benefits should
be sufficient to enable the un-
employed to maintain a sub
stantial part of their Gus
tomary expenditures, thereby
minimizing the spread Of un-
employment.
THE general level Of benefits
is now too low for either of
these purposes.
Our Federal-State unem-
ployment insurance system was
originally devised to pay bene-
fits of approximately half of
regular weekly earnings, up to
a dollar maximum that was
adequate for its time. Since
these legal maxima have not
kept pace with rising wages,
the ratio Of benefits of covered
workers has fallen from 43 per
cent in 1888 to "a per cent cur
rently, and in several States
below 80 per cent.
I'm many States great ma
tority of all beneficiaries re-
ceive the same weekly benefit
the maximum-regardleSs of
the differences in earnings.
This loss of a clear relation be-
tween benefits and a workers
usual earnings or his custom
ary living standard is incon-
sistent with the incentives of
a free economy"
The President said that the
unemployment insurance sys-
tenn, which paid out nearly 50
billion during the recession Of
last year, "has proved its value
as a first line of defense
against economic recession"
The economic report showed
how this infusion into the
stream of purchasing power
helped to temper that eco
nomic setback.

Unemployment Pay May Be Increased
BY States as Result of JAW Victory

time and not always too sue
cessfully. Another has entered
the field in the past two years
in the august person Of the
Federal Government repre-
sented by President Eisen-
hover and his Secretary Of
Labor, James P. Mitchell.
In his economic messages to
Congress, both this year and
last, the President took occa-
sion to urge States to increase
the amount of their unemploy-
ment benefits, saying in his
1855 message: 'It is highly de-
sirable that the States change
their laws so that the great
majority of covered workers
will be eligible for payments
that at least equal half their
regular earnings" Likewise he
recommended extension Of the
duration of benefits where
ever that is necessary to bring
the period of payments up to
26 weeks for all States.
These words were not just
left hanging in the air. Secre-
tary of Labor Mitchell picked
them up and put them to work
in a letter he wrote to all of
the 48 Governors. That has
borne some fruit in the last
several months when the legis-
latures of 48 States met, as did
those Of Alaska, Hawaii and
Puerto Rico. In every one bills
were introduced to raise unem-
ployment benefits.
The tally of the Department
of Labor here discloses that
in II States benefits were in
creased, as well as in Hawaii
and Alaska. Eight of the
States, also Hawaii and Alas
ka, raised the weekly rate
above $50; six increased exist
ing rates to $50. Now, of all
48 States, 10 provide benefits
over $50 a week, while 10 have
a maximum Of $50.
So the movement for an in
crease of unemployment ben
efits has generated steam of
its own already as a matter of
simple social justice and sound
economics, beyond what addi-
tional impetus it may now get

Shoemaker, Chicago Daily News
"The POstman Rings Twice"
istration's distorted mathemat-
les that 8 per cent for postal
workers equals 6 per cent for
classified employees.
Regardless of whether the
additional 2 per cent comes
through q straight salary in
crease or through reclassifica-
tion, the effect is the same on
the pay check Of the employe.
Because the administration de-
cided to put part Of the postal
raise into the Redistribution
changes in order to make these
changes more acceptable to
postal employees, doesn't change
the situation in any way. The
bill was debated and passed
in Congress and headlined in
the newspapers as an 8 per
.cent bill, for the simple reason
that it means 8 per cent more
pay for the employe involved.
The only conceivable reason
for opposition to an equal 8
per cent raise for classified en-
ployes is that the administra-
ton doesn't wish to spend that
much money.
Certainly, by any criteria Of
justice and fair treatment, the
only criticism Of an 8 per cent
bill that could be made is that
it isn't enough. The median
grade in the classified service
is GS-5, with as many en-
ployes above as below that
grade. 1t would take a 1875
per cent increase to restore the
buying power of a Grade 5
salary to its 1899 level. There
is hardly an industry of busi-
ness in the Nation where en-
ployes are worse OF economi-
cally since 1939-except the
Government service.
To suggest that President
Eisenhower would veto equal
treatment on pay legislation
for classified employees is to
imply that the President would
turn his back on the principle
Of equal treatment for all
groups Of Government EN-
ployes.
If Congress this year is will
ing to provide equal treatment
which hasn't always been
the case in past legislation
the administration would be
dealing crushing blow to the
morale Of its classified en-
ployes to insist that this can
not be done.

When new security devices
are introduced into our COM
plex industrial machine. such
as applying the guaranteed
annual wage principle to the
giant automobile industry, we
can expect reactions in many
directions, some of which do
not Immediately become ap-
parent.
However, a question that
popped up Immediately was as
to the effect on smaller and
less profitable industries, which
are financially less potent.
should the guaranteed annual
wage idea begin to spread.
Though no quick answer is
possible, it was suggested here
that one result of the auto
mobile industry formula prob
ably would be a movement to
get States to increase still
further the benefits they pay
in unemployment compensa-
tion which is included in the
automobile industry scheme.
Increase in compensation
from State unemployment in
surance systems to those tenn
porarily out of work would help
to alleviate the problem of
laid-off workers. Also it would
reduce the contribution that
an industry itself would have
to make directly If forced into
q guaranteed annual wage
plan that followed the auto
mobile industry formula. Un-
der the latter the company
supplements from a special
reserve the regular benefit pay
ments from State unemploy-
ment compensation funds.
Thus we may see State legiS-
latures under pressure from a
new direction to raise unem-
ployment benefits - that is,
from business and industry.
That is a potent source of pres
