The cash crisis is still with us.
The Senate did take one ac-
ton last week. The Republican
members suspended the rules
and damned through the immed-
late passage of a bill on unem-
ployment compensation.
Late in March the national
Congress a bill extending from
April ! until June 80 the time
in which unemployed workers
who had exhausted their state
benefits could draw federal ben.
efits.
In order to take advantage of
this federal extension of bene-
fits, our own state law had to be
amended. All it required was a
one or two.line bill changing
dates. Only about $1,000 of our
100000 unemployed workers
stand to benefit by the federal
extension. but at least it would
be of some help to them.
Instead of acting in this sim
pie, decent and obvious fashion,
the Senate passed bill which
included the extension all right,
but it also included a whole
series Of amendments to our ba-
sic state unemployment compen-
sation law.
One amendment the Senators
thought fair and just would dis
qualify from benefits a worker
who was fired because he went
TO court TO unsuccessfully con-
test a parking ticket.
Another amendment would dis
qualify a 6o-yesr-old worker.
temporarily laid off by his EN-
ployer. IL that worker was elisi'
BILE 10 apply for retirement. Ina
CINE. here's q man still anxious
70 work and able 10 work, but
because he doesn't want TO re
tire, he can't draw his regular
unemployment compensation be
nefits.
Still another amendment, by
an apparently harmless change
in rounding off figures, would
have caused $500 unemployed
workers to lose 50 each in bene
fits. This kind of thing seem!
so petty and heartless as to be-
almost unbelievable.
Now, I'm confident that The
House won't stand for any such
Hacking of the 100000 un
employed as the price of extend
ing federal benefits to some 81,
600 of their member. Yet while
the barbs are being taken out Of
the Senate bill, unemployed
workers will go without benefits
which the federal government
has already authorized.
II the Senate had acted a
speedily on the Veterans Trus
Fund mortgaging plan as it dix
on the bill TO blackjack the un
employed, the cash crisis woulI
be solved. And then the lawmak
ers could get down to business
in providing long-range tax re
form for the State Of Michigan
The Detroit tribune. (Detroit, Mich.) 1935-1966, 1959-04-11

Everything else is subordinate
to action in this one area. Yet
despite the looming propect of
payleSs paydays and a cutting
eff Of school aid and welfare, no
solution has yet found the APP
proval Of both the House and the
Senate
This is not for lack of availa-
bic solutions. The House has
twice passed measures which
would have led to easing of the
immediate cash crisis.
One Of these, adopted by the
House with an overwhelming
vote, provided for a Sso-million
bond issue 10 be voted upon by
The people az the Spring cleo
fion. The Senate turned il down.
The other solution enacted by
the House is TO mortgage the
S50.million Veterans Trust Fund.
This was the course recon-
mended to the Legislature back
on January 18th The House act
ed on March oath. The Senate
has taken no action on the plan
since then.
In the meantime the cash
shortage in the Treasury daily
grows worse. The implications Of
this shortage are far reaching
and damaging. 1t has meant diff
ficulty for our universities in
keeping teachers who are bonn
barced with attractive offers
from other institutions. II has
meant for many school districts
the necessity of borrowing op'
Grating funds and paying inter
est on those loans. interest mon
cy which otherwise would have
gone into the education OF
young minds. These are only
examples.
Yet at any time within The
last week the Senate could have
ended all the doubt and uncer
tainty about meeting vital costs
OF government by passing the
Veterans Trust Fund mortgag
ing bills passed by the House o.
Representatives.
