About 200 rebels fighting for

Mitchell to Push Fight
For Job|ess Benefits
Action Held
Vital to End
'Hordships
BY CECIL HOLLAND
star stan Writer

0toA 9baA WIAtet
Secretary of Labor Mitchell
today promised "a determined
and about drive" for congress
sional approval of the admin
istration's unemployment COM
pensation program.
He said the program would
be needed to relieve hardship
even If the recession eaSed and
unemployment declined. How
ever, no great change is ex-
pected in the employment and
unemployment picture in the
next few months.
President Eisenhower sub
mitted the program to Congress
March Is and it now is pending
before the House Ways and
Means Committee.
50 Pet. Extension
1t would provide a so per
cent extension in the number
of weeks unemployed workers
insured under State programs
could draw benefits. Most Of
the larger States now provide
for 26 weeks of payments. this
would be increased under the
Administrations program to 80
weeks.
The administration, it was
understood. will press for the
enactment Of its program after
Congress returns Monday from
an Easter recess.
Mr.. Mitchell expressed his
views as the Labor Department
reported that unemployment
among workers insured for job
less BENEFITS remained fairly
constant in the past i've weeks.
Unemployed Claims Rise
The weekly report Of the de-
partment's Bureau Of Employ
ment Security said unemploy-
ment among insured workers
declined by 2.400 to 3,276,500
for the week ending March 20.
On the other hand initial claims
for benefits jumped by $500
to total Of sol 800 for the
week ending April S. While
this was q substantial increase,
the bureau explained that it
was due, apart from new lay
offs in the automobile industry.
to administrative factors.
The bureau said it was the
nth consecutive week that
employment among insured
workers remained in a mar
row range with fluctuations I'D
and down amounting to less
than 10000 each week"
One reason for no increase.
1t was said. was that MANY
OF the unemployed have ex-
hausted their BENEFITS. The
bureau estimated that such
exhaustions totaled I89. 200 in
March, making a total of 4Sl..
600 since January /.
Nearing Million Mark
Mr.. Mitchell, in urging
speedy action on the Presi-
dents proposal for extending
the duration Of benefits, esti-
mated that between 2 and %
million workers will have ex-
hausted their benefits before
next April /. This is the ex-
piration date for the admin
istration's emergency program.
The Secretary strongly op-
posed any attempt at this time
to undertake a comprehensive
overhauling of the unemploy-
ment compensation system to
expand benefits and the dura-
ton OF payments permanently.
This has been proposed in a
bill sponsored by Senator Ken
nedy of Massachusetts, and

arrange a summit conference.
The aim is to get a reply to
Moscow by Thursday.
That's the date suggested by
the Soviet government yester-
day for beginning talks in Mos
COW at the ambassador level.
The conditions stated by So
Wet Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko were contrary at every
point to the known policies Of
the Western powers. This
caused speculation here as to
why the Soviets sent such q
note.
Two Explanations
Two possible explanations
were offered by ofiicials today.
One was that the Soviets do
not seriously want q summit
conference in the immediate
future. but prefer instead to 60
on making propaganda over the
issue. United States authori-
ties concede that so far the
Russians are ahead in the prop
uganda game. The Russians
are trying to persuade world
opinion that they are more
peace loving and more anxious
for summit settlements than is
the West.
The other motive suggested
was that Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev wants q summit
conference. but Is confident
that by manipulating world
opinion he can force the West
ern powers to go into such
Q conference on Russia's terms.
The United States. Britain
and France, acting on behalf
Of the whole l5-nation NATO
group. had proposed March 81
that diplomatic talks be
started in Moscow in the lat
ter part Of April. to be fol-
lowed by q foreign ministers
meeting.
Would Decide Place, Date
The Western Big Three said
the purpose Of the preliminary
sessions would be to look into
issues for summit conference
discussion and eventually to
decide on the date and place
Of q top level meeting, as well
as who should attend. The
preparatory talks would show
the possibilities Of agreement
on major world problems, the
Western note said.
But yesterdays Russian reply
pegged the Soviet price on
three points:
/. The sole purpose Of diplo-
matte talks would be to orga-
nize a meeting Of foreign min
listers by determining the time,
place and participants. This
would exclude any considera-
ton Of actual political issues.
2. The foreign ministers,
when they met. would have the
primary task Of setting the
time. place and participants Of
a summit conference and the
range Of questions which that
conference could discuss. The
Soviets would be prepared, the
note said, to talk about some
Of the questions proposed for
q summit agenda but only If
there was general agreement"
that such questions should be
talked about.
Veto Angle Cited
President Eisenhower and
Secretary Of State Dulles in
terpreted the requirement for
general agreement as meaning
the Soviets wanted a veto with
which they could block discus
sion. even by the foreign min
listers, Of issues they do not wish
to discuSs-particularly Ger
man reunification and the
Communist rule of East Euro
pean countries.

there was q concession by the
SovietS In agreeing to talk
about any political issue in a

ENCOURAGE GOOD SERVICE

To The Editor:
81 want to express my extreme
qualification, as well as my admir-
alton for the stand you are taking
in your Commission actions and
decisions. There is personal sat
isfaction, also, in the knowledge
that my estimation of your charac-
ter and independence, which / have
held throughout the more than
thirty years of our acquaintance,
is again upheld.
"That you could or would con-
sciously ever do anything opposed
to the best interests of Dare Coun-
ty or against the welfare of our
people, is to me unthinkable.
"You and others will undoubtedly
fail to agree hundred percent on
every problem that. arises, but l
am very sure indeed that any diff
ferences will be decided in the open,
each with respect for the others
judgement, not in secret conclave.
Enemies will be made, without
doubt. some among those also de-
voted to the interests of our COM
munity, but none, believe, will be
lasting.
"This to me marks the beginning
of new, and l believe, a far bet
ter trend in the political atmos-
phere of the county. A trend which
may eventually destroy party and
group differences; bring to an end
tht dispensing of special favors to
selected few and make every
citizen equal recipient in the un-
doubted rewards which accompany
the future growth and prosperity
of our county. / believe every
member of the new Board of Com
missioners can be counted upon to
do his full share with wisdom and
intelligence, in the undoubtedly
trying months which lay ahead.
