JobIess Benefit
Hikes meager
In ost States

Miami Beach - Although -
states raised jobless benefits
during the 1960-61 legislative
years, most Of the gains were
Every modest" and were accom-
panied by higher eligibility re-
ouirements and sitter disquali-
fication penalties. Only four
states extended duration of ben
efits.
This record, the AFL-CIO
Executive Council reported to
the federation's convention here,
is significantly inferior to that
of preceding years and bears
out labor's warning that many
states have reached a "satura-
ton point at which they can
no longer improve unemploy-
ment insurance without federal
help"
The council noted that no
state has yet met the ALL
CLOS goal of maximum benefits
equal to two-thirds of average
state wages, payable for up to
80 weeks of unemployment.
In an important departure
from the "leave it to the states"
philosophy of the Eisenhower
Administration, Pres. Kennedy
last June sent to Congress a
proposal for minimum federal
standards on amount of bene-
fits, though not duration. How
ever, up to 13 weeks Of sup
Elemental federal payments
would be provided beginning
with the 9th week of unem-
ployment. Maximum benefits
would be raised to two-thirds
of the states average wage
and could not be denied a work
er receiving retraining.
Although mot a perfect bill
by AFL-CIO Standards" the
program asked would "help lev
ell out an erratic cycle of eco
nomic growth" the Executive
Council noted.
Recession Stop-Gap
The Executive Council noted
that Congress turned to tenn
porary extension of benefits as
a stop-gap measure to relieve

the hardships of the 1960-61
recession as it had done in 1868.
The 1861 law, however, avoid
ed IAN important flaw" of the
earlier act by raising the tax on
all employers to finance the ex-
tension. AS result, since it
would not save employers in
state any money if the state re-
fused to participate in the pro-
gram, jobless workers in all so
states benefited from the ex-
tension. In 1868, only a minor
ity of states participated.

Price-C0st Squeeze
Seen Likely For
Orchardists In 81

A $4,000, 900 bushel apple crop
in Virginia this year wouldn't
surprise anyone currently in the
know. If it materializes and east
ern production conditions are also
favorable, the price-cost squeeze
will still be on for fruit growers.
Agricultural economists at Vir-
giria Polytechnic Institute say
that apple production in Vir-
ginia, without late frost damage
in the spring and with favorable
weather during the growing sea
son, might even hit the $4,000 600
bushel mark.
Growers will do well not to re-
lax their quest for cheaper ways
of producing and marketing the
apple crop if they wish to stay
ir business, the economists say.
Peach growers continue to be
plagued with later variety
peaches from the South, and
earlier variety peaches from the
North. encroaching on the normal
marketing season. Developing
nearby market outlets for a linn
tied number of quality peaches
seems to be the only answer for
peach growers. Most peach buy
ers will rot bother to "Set up
shop in Virginia for a week or
so when they can move from
South Carolina to New Jersey
without lapse. The pressure is
on selling as far as Virginia
peach producers are concerned,
the economists say.

nose what L. causing his patient to
suffer.
What Cuba suffers from 10 this:
Castro has made the island a
Soviet satellite.
The dictator IL worried that the
opposition Is stronger than anyone
admits; otherwise why no cleo
tons? What passes for elections"
are even permitted behind the Iron
Curtain.)
The Cuban economy Ia falling
apart.
But the immediate problem de-
rives from the fact that Castro
has run out on his own revolution.
He has not sold out" for the Len
in Peace prize. He just lacks con-
fidence in the democratic aims pro-
claimed by the 26th Of July Move
ment.
Having turned on his own col
leagues and his own aims, he has
become more Communist than the
Communists. In Castro there Is a
fierceness and a wildness that
evidently springs from greater In
ner unhappiness and his move
ments are those Of q frantic man.
When one becomes 80 frantic
and fanatic there IL not much point
in trying to reason and negotia-
tons are impossible. Therefore 1t
seems to me that Americans are
obliged to ask themselves this
question: win we continue to do
everything In our power, as a
people and as a government, to
help overthrow the Castro re-
gime? It Is a hard question, but
we must face it.
For Clbans, Castroism has al
ready been bloody. He has tried to
iquidate the opposition by firing
squads, yet opponents still keep
appearing. It win probably be
bloodier. But how can there be any
start in Latin America until the
Caribbean dictator has been top
pied?
