but hearings have already been
scheduled on the rights of the
mentally ill. They are set for
March 28th, 29th and 30th. Out
standing authorities will come
before the Committee to testify
on the mentally ill’s rights con
cerning property and personal
affairs as well as matters of
commitment, treatment, and dis
charge. Increasing litigation has
pointed out a need for these
hearings to determine what ad
ditional safeguards, if any, are
needed for these unfortunate
persons.
Unemployment The nation’s
jobless now total 5.7 millions,
the biggest since 1941, according
to recent Labor Department fig
ures. It is a deeply tragic situ
ation for any individual to be
without a job when he wants to
work. This is particularly so
when he has a wife and children
and a family to support. Re
cently the House passed a meas- j
ure to give temporary relief in
this field by extending unem
ployment benefits for thirteen
additional weeks. The Senate j
should be in a position to act,
on this bill soon and I believe!
it will pass. My hope is that |
there will be an early upswing
in the number of jobs available j
for all who want to work.
