When the NC system was estab-
lished by federal action in 1888, bene-
fits averaged 43 per cent of wages.
At that time, experts agreed that
benefits averaging two-thirds of basic
earnings were required to maintain
family health and to buttress the
economy in recessionary periods.
Despite some improvements at
the state level, it is doubtful that
NC benefits are equal to 40 per
cent of average wages today.
During the 1858 recession. unem-
ployment compensation returned to
the purchasing power stream less than
20 per cent of wage losses caused by
joblessness. Experience has already
given warning therefore, that signifi-
cant improvement in jobless benefits
is essential if NC is to perform it's
proper function as our chief economic
stabilizer.-IUD BULLETIN.

Robertson Urges
Public Support
For Burke Lake

An appeal for public financial
support on behalf of the pro-
iected Burke Lake recreation
facility in Fairfax, County was
voiced last night by Senator
Robertson. Democrat of Vir-
ginia.
He told a dinner meeting Of
the Fairfax Chamber of Com
merce that Northern Virginia
residents have a moral obliga-
tion to see that the project is
carried through.
The Senator noted that the
Fairfax County Park Authority
already has acquired most Of
the land it needs, but said the
general public will have to con-
tribute about $4,000 by June
if it is to get State funds.
A 220-acre lake is planned
at the site under joint auspices
of the park authority and the
Virginia Commission of Game
and Inland Fisheries. The lat
ter has allocated nearly $780,
900 to build a dam and reser-
voir on South Run, Senator
Robertson noted.

The milk co-operatives serv-

appeared before a House sub

Pending before the subcom-

State standards of milk purity
The Public Health Service

under the proposal.
Mr.. Bletch said his co-opera-

not needed in the metropolitan

Supporters of State Senator
Armistead L. Boothe last night
crushed a bid by Delegate
James M. Thomson for control
of Alexandria's delegation to
the State Democratic conven-
ton.
At a mass meeting at the
George Mason School, local
Democrats chose a convention
slate led by Senatr Boothe in
a lopsided 282-to-82 vote.
The victory of Senator
Boothe's group was so over

didn't even bother to count 40
additional ballots that carried
split votes for persons on both
tickets.
The slate led by Senator
Boothe calls itself the Loyal
Democratic Ticket" and is
pledged to support whomever
the Democratic National Con-
vention nominates for Presl-
dent.
Mr.. ThomSon's group was
pledged to support the nomina-
ton of Senator Kennedy of
Massachusetts, for President.
Senator Boothe said his
friends, not he, put up a full
62-name slate after learning
that Mr.. Thomson was trying
to capture the convention dele
CATION with a hand-picked
ticket of 80 names.
Under a unit voting rule also
approved by the Democrats
last night, the 80 members on
the Thomson slate could have
controlled the delegation had
they won. The State convention
will be held May 81 in Virginia

Mr.. Thomson denied that he
or his supporters would have

other than Senator Kennedy.

Variety Of Themes
by FIR. Bernard Theall. O.S.B.

This month has brought
forth a mixed bag of nov
els of a t back
ground or interest, on a
wide variety of themes
and with greatly varying back
grounds.
HOUSEWIVES PATRON
SAINT
In Martha, Martha ken
edy, $685. Patricia McGeer
has given a fictional frame
work for the Biblical episode
that has provided many gener-
ations of busy housewives
with inspiration and even a
sort of patron saint.
MY OWN REACTION to
Biblical novels that expand
three or four Scriptural pages
into the 300 or so of the
standard novel is best express
ed by the probably apocryphal
story about Lincoln's evaluat-
ing a book in this way: IF
you are the sort of person.
who likes this kind of book,
this is the kind of book you
will like"
MUCH OF THE story, of
course, centers about the
best-known Martha Mary cpl
sodes: the dinner given for
Our Lord at which He praises
Mary and seems to gently re-
buke Martha, and the raising
of Lazarus from the dead.
ALONG THE WAY, Miss
McGeer gives us pen portraits
of many of the apostles and
the disciples of Christ, and
her treatment of the Messiah
Himself is always characterize
ed by dignity and nobility. On
the whole, perhaps this is best
characterized as a novel about
and for women.

involved in a love affair with
two beautiful Italian girls, one
of them a divorce (the 'di-
vided lady of the books title.)
There are also flashbacks to
Childers' army life and his
romantic inducements there,
in that case with twin sisters
in the army's women's auxil-
larry service.
There is a fairly detailed
sketch of the workings of the
Rota as Childers' beloved Mia
seeks to be freed from her
earlier marriage.
THERE is MUCH labored
humor, much bad taste, and
much very bad writing, with
out even the one or two really
funny scenes That have charac-
terized some Of the more re-
cent novels such as To Every
Man q Penny. Even the pub
fishers have compounded the
crime by a. sentence on the
jacket blurb which really
does read: "A pretty girl,
