Unemployment Insurance To Be Greatly Changed

showed that very few people were using their maximum period of benefit while a good many were still unemployed when their bene- fit period ran out. By reducing the maximum from 51 to 36 weeks and raising the minimum from six to 15 weeks. protection has been shift- ed so that. in total. it is more comprehensive.

The requirements for drawing benefit under the new Act have. in some respects. been made easier. To qualify. at least 30 weekly con- tributions must have been paid in the 104 weeks before the date of claim and eight of these must be in the last 52 weeks. This entitles the claimant to the minimum of 15 weeks. A further week of benefit is earned for each additional two weeks of contributions. up to go ? maximum of 36 weeks of hen t that can be allowed in one benefit P period.

To re-qualify (having had a pre- vious claim) there must again be at least 30 weekly contributions in the last 104 weeks. but eight of them must be in the last 52 weeks or since the beginning of the last claim. whichever period is shorter. Any contribution week that is more than 52 weeks old and that came before the beginning of the last claim cannot again be counted.

The new Act eliminates the non- winpensahle day. modifies the rule regarding subsidiary earnings. and intioduces a scale of allowable earning tsee table related to the ordinary earnings of the claimant in the period preceding his claim. A claimant gets full benefit pay- ments if his earnings from casual. part-time. or short-time employ- ment while on claim are not more than the allowable A establi- shed in his case. if that amount is exceeded. his benefit is simply re- duced by the amount nf the excess over the allowable scale.

Thc scale of contributions has my. made more even. so that a woltliclilb contributions as a per- cmtage of earning will be approx- lmately one per cent in each earn- lugs class, with a like amount con- mhuted by his employer. Formerly u..- pm-cntage varied in different w.,.,,,:,- groups from slightly less it”... one per cent to more than ihroc per cent.

Three new earnings classes have been added at the top end so that mghoi' benefit rates will be possible (or those in higher salary ranges. rht. was necessary because of-the sir-ntly upward movement of wage r;ilt"- sinre the last change was mzuiv

Wished He Had Fired

CHICAGO. (AP)-Former presi- dent. Truman says he wishes lie had fired Gen. MacArthur two years sooner.

That. he said is the only "re- pentance" he has had for re- moving MacArthur as supreme commander in Korea on April 11, 1951.

answer period following an ad- dress before the executive club of Chicago Friday.

The former President fired MacArthur on grounds that the general was ”unable to give wholehearted support" to the poli- cies of the United Nations and the .Ti'u.man administration in the conduct of the Korean war.

A questioner asked why UN forces in Korea did not drive to the Yalu river "as MacArthur said they could” instead of bait- ing at the 38th parallel.

"MacArthur never was ordered to stop at the 38th parallel" Tru- man retorted. "There were a million and a half Chinese be- tween him and the Yalu river and he couldn't get through them."

UN forces had reached the Yalu earlier in the war. only to be forced back when China en-

Potato Bulletin

Late blight spores are pi'tldll('NI on the plants so long as any green foliage remains. Tlicrclorc. states the Weekly Potato Bulletin No. 13 for Prince Edward island and Nova Scotia if a field is due while some living foliage is pre- sent. the tubers become inocula- ted and losses in storage or tran- sit result.

The spores. under favourable conditions of temperature and moisture. may remain viable on the soil surface for several days after the plants have died natur-

ally or have been killed Ilui'p(ISCl)'.l

Because of these facts. and in the interests of protection to both the producer and the purchaser. no field should be harvested until the tops have been dead for at least ten days, whether death has lie:-ii caused by disease trust, or (-limii- ical top killer.
