Unemployment In
State For First Six
i Months Leads 1948
[ 72,824 Workers Laid Off
First Six Months
In 1949«
Almost three times as much was
paid to unemployed eligible workers
in North Carolina in the first half
of 1949 than was paid in the first
six months of 1948 in the regular
(UC) program of the Employment
Security Commission of North Caro
lina, it is revealed by ESC Chairman
Henry E. Kendall.
Under this program unemployed
workers received $9,048,137 in bene
fits in compensation for 714,859 weeks
(or part weeks) of unemployment, in
the January-June period of 1949, in
contrast to the $3,104,133 in benefits,
compensation for 293,701 weeks of
unemployment, during the first six
months of 1948. In fact, for the en
tire year of 1948, benefits amounted
to only $6,849,783 for 614,523 weeks
of unemployment, against slightly
more than $9,000,000 for almost 716,-
000 weeks of unemployment in the
past six months.
Under the Servicemen’s Readjust
ment Allowance (SRA) program in
the first half of 1949, eligible veter
, ans drew $6, 235,007 for 313,830 weeks
of unemployment, as compared with
allowances of $4,551,305 for 313,830
weeks of unemployment during the
first six months of 1948. During the
entire year of 1948 veterans drew
$7,505,432 under the SRA program
for 378,036 weeks of unemployment.
At the end of June, 1949, it was
found that 42,506 claimants in the
UC program were filing claims for
unemployment compensation against
17,013 at the end of June, 1948, and
20,552 at the end of December, 1948.
In the SRA program at the end of
June, 1949, 14,699 veterans were fil
ing claims for allowances, against
7,060 at the end of June, 1948, and
7,427 at the end of December, 194£.
Indicative of the number of eligible
workers laid off in the first six
months of 1949, it is shown that 72,-
824 received their first payments dur
ing that period in the regular UC
program, as against 30,621 in the first
half of 1948 and 65,224 in the last
six months of 1948. In the first half
of 1949, 10,616 veterans received their
first unemployment payments under
the SRA program, against 10,159 in
the first half of 1948 and 16,072 in
the last half of 1948.

Opposes Single Military Set-Up
The merger of the three military
departments into a single department
will lead this country to the “Prus
sian military system,” in the opinion
of Ferdinand Eberstadi, former chair
man of the Special Committee of the
Hoover Commission.
The matter is up for consideration
again because President Truman re
commended to Congress the establish
ment of a Department of Defense,
with authority over all the armed
services and the consequent status
of the Departments of Army, Navy
and Air Force.
The Hoover Commission, in its re
commendation, did not advocate such
a radical change in the military es
tablishment, set up two years ago
with three semi-autonomous depart
ments acting under the “general”
authority of a Secretary of Defense.
The President’s recommendation is
included in a military reorganization
bill, already passed by the Senate,
which would reduce from “Secretary”
to “Under-Secretary,” the civilian
chief of each of the services. Mr.
Hoover recently testified against the
creation of a single chief of staff
and Mr. Eberstadt took the same view,
maintaining that a single department
would result in a single chief of staff,
which, he thought, would be “danger
ous” to the country.
Brynes and Baruch Criticize H.S.T.
In recent public addresses, former
Secretary of State James F. Byrnes
and retired industrialist, Bernard M.
Baruch, both natives of South Caro
lina, have delivered vigorous, if in
direct, criticism of the present Ad
ministration.
Mr. Byrnes warned against the wel
fare 3tate and Mr. Baruch reported a
lack of a plan of "total mobilization,”
which, he asserted, represents a
“needless invitation to disaster.”
President Truman has made no di
rect reply to either statement but
White House circles, according to The
New York Times, “exhibited con
siderable indignation” over the
Baruch charge and intimated that Mr.
Baruch was badly informed. This
statement was subsequently attribut
ed directly to the President, who
categorically denied that any mobili
zation plan had been presented to
him or rejected by him. In reply, the
industrialist suggested that the Pres
ident examine the White House files
and recalled that such a plan was sub
mitted to the President in May or
June, of 1948. #
It is generally known that Messrs.
THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1949.
Byrnes and Baruch have been closely
associated and the political experts
wonder if there is any connection be
tween the timing of the two address
es. Do they indicate the beginning of
a more audible opposition to Presi-
Ident Truman’s “Fair Deal” on do
mestic affairs and his handling of
the nation’s security in connection
with international affairs?
