Then for the fifth week he goes back to the
state SYSTEM and so on. The proponents of
SUB contend the state cannot deduct the
SUB payment from any future BUC bene-
fits because under the law the BUG and
SUB payments were not concurrent. This
is known as the periodic plan.
Still another dodge" has been advanced:
An unemployed worker draws the
BUG payments to which he is entitled then
at the end of the period for which he is
entitled to draw them, he applies to his
employer and receives SUB payments for
the full time of his lay-off. The SUB pro-
ponents again claim the payments were not
made concurrently and hence are not illegal.
This scheme, known as the lump sum plan,
would be difficult for the state to combat
since it would have no means Of 'deducting'
the SUB payments, because the applicant
no longer is drawing any BUG payments
from which deductions could be made
The deVisers of these two plans-the
periodic and the lump Sunl-hOpe they have
the Ohio law backed in the corner, The un-
employment compensation law provides that
a ruling TO override the BUG administrator
can be sought only by "an interested party"
They enVision that neither the worker nor
his SUB employer is going to seek such
ruling and, of course, if the administrator
Of the BUG makes a ruling he is not going
to seek a ruling to reverse himself.
Therefore, says the Ohio Information
Committee, it is a ''joker" for the BUG
administrator to say in recently issued
directive: Continue to pay the claimant
unemployment compensation benefits at his
full weekly benefit rate, without deduction
for SUB until ruling is received as to
whether the SUB payment constitutes
remuneration"
In other words the directive appears
to authorize payments pending a ruling
which is not likely to come. And one might
raise the question, how would any part of
the payments be recaptured by the state if
by any chance, they should be ruled illegal
at some future time?
We seem to recall that there used to be
a legal premise that one could not do
indirectly what the law forbids doing
directly. Have government and the law
yielded to those who scheme to circumvent
them? Has it become possible to override
by an office instruction or administrative
directive the action Of the General Assembly
of Ohio which action subsequently was
overwhelmingly approved by the voters in
a referendum?
1t is to be hoped that an effort Of this
kind will be scotched here and now by those
who have it in their power to scotch it. --

.JObiess bsay Law

The Ohio Information Committee which
has led the fight in Ohio against legalization
of supplemental unemployment benefits is
justifiably perturbed over what appears TO
be an attempt by the Ohio Bureau Of Unem-
ployment Compensation to authorize supple
mental benefits under a plan obviously
devised to circumVent the present law.
In its own ruling 13 months ago the
BUG pointed out that "the Ohio law provides
for the payment Of weekly benefits to
eligible persons who are unemployed either
totally or partially. 1t also provides that
benefits shall be reduced by the amount of
remuneration a claimant receives with
respect to such week"
Prior to this ruling, the General AS
sembly Of Ohio had refused in 1855 to
legalize supplemental unemployment bene-
fits such as had been provided in privately
negotiated contracts between the United
Auto Workers and two large automobile
manufacturers domiCiled in Michigan but
having plants in Ohio
Subsequent to the Legislatures rejection
of SUB, the voters Of Ohio in November
1855 turned down the SUB plan by vote
of two to one. Again this year the General
Assembly refused to legalize SUB.
Advocates Of SUB, however. determined
to put across their plan, have devised
scheme for under the table" payment of
supplemental benefits. They appear to have
anticipated, or at least to hope, that the
Bureau of Unemployment Compensation
may approve their rigged plan of circum-
venting the law which leaves no doubt as
to its intent.
The law quite obviously means that
unemployment compensation shall NOT be
paid in addition to lay-off compensation paid
by an employer.
What the Would-be circumventers of the
Ohio law now are .contending is that supple
mental benefits are legal if they are not paid
concurrently with authorized payments Of
unemployment compensation by the state.
Seizlng upon that part of the May 1856 ruling
of the BUG that benefits shall be reduced
by the amount Of remuneration a claimant
receives with respect TO such week" they
have come up with a plan as follows:
An unemployed worker applies to the
BUG for legal compensation for, say three
weeks, and receives checks for the amounts
!. to which he is entitled under the law The
fourth week, he does not apply for state
> unemployment compensation, but draws an
: amount for that week from his former en-
ployer which is equivalent to the supple
= mental benefits he would have received for
= that week plus the three previous weeks,
o which in the aggregate is considerably more

CUT THAT BUDGET
By DIR. Alfred p. Haake

July 4th is independence Day
for America. That is the day
on which we celebrate signing
Of the immortal Declaration of
Independence.
There is another day that
could be called "Frcedom Day
for industy in America, for it
is on that day that our corpO-
rations will begin working for
their owners, the stockholders.
Until July 9th, on the average,
industy will be working for the
Federal Government, paying
taxes for 1857.
All that they earn after July
9th will be divided among The
state and local governments,
some of it used for expansion
of facilities, and the remainder
for some ten millions Of indi-
vidual stockholders in Amcri-
can industry.
There is a theoretical Free

ual citizens Of America. For

Industry, employing labor
and utilizing natural resources,
is the hen that lays the golden
eggs Of progress and weu-being.
But, even hens don't continue
laying eggs unless they are
fed. And when their rations
are cut, the eggs are fewer and
less valuable, That is why we
should be concerned with the
squeeze on profits, which
grows tighter and tighter as
time goes on.
The squeeze is made the
tighter by vicious circle
which also dilutcs the buying
power or dollars in which we
measure profits, prices and
wages. We call it initiation

that employee compensation,

Formal Dedication

Plans for the formal dedication of Cald-
wells new municipal building is moving
forward with number of interesting
features planned for Saturday, July IS by
members of the program committee.
Senator Frank j. Lausche notified the
committee this week that it would be
impossible for him to be in Caldwell on that
date, and due to previous commitments,
it was necessary for him to decline the IN
vitation issued by the program committee.
The committee is now making other
arrangements and there is possibility that
several notables will be asked to appear
briefly during the dedication ceremonies.
The formal dedication will be followed
by gigantic parade and in the evening there
will be a mammoth fireworks display, under
the supervision of the Noble county Cham

THIS WEEK
IN
WASHINGTON

A series of events in the past
few weeks, each of them directed
toward embarrassing or weaken
ing the position of our nation,
have given considerable cause
for concern to many Americans.
The first of these is the ques-
ton of how American soldiers
stationed on foreign soil will be
tried. Not long ago, an American
serviceman in Formosa was tried
for an offense against a civilian.
AS a result Of his acquittal, the
American Embassy was wrecked
by mob action in protest. At the
present time, this nation is in
Volved in a situation with Jap
aneSe authorities with regard to
the trial of an American soldier
who allegedly committed an of
fense against a Japanese civilian
while he was on duty in Japan.
It should not come as a sur
prise to the American people
that this nation has entered into
a series Of treaties and agree
ments with other nations of the
world giving those countries
jurisdiction in criminal trials Of
our G.IS overseas if the offense
is not committed during the per-
formance of assigned duties. The
incident in Japan has some added
complexities since there is a dis
pute between Japanese and our
authorities as to whether the
soldier was on duty at the time
the alleged offense occurred. The
question apparently has been
resolved in favor of the Jap
anese. | say it should not be any
surprise to the American people
because periodically the news
papers and radio have carried
articles concerning these ques-
tionable status Of forces treaties
which our nation has concluded.
House Resolution Is which
would direct the President to
seek notifications Of the present
treaty provisions has been beaten
down over the past few years

attitude. This measure undOubt-

the President.
The people are revolving SO
earnestly that the Congress has
actually served notice that the
budget must and will be cut.
The President is fighting
hard for the budget which even
he admitted was too high, when
he offered it, Unhappily, he

only place where the budget
