Unemployment Benefits
Likely Hard To Increase
WASHINGTON, July 10 —(JP>—
A rough and uncertain congres
sional course lay ahead today for
legislation embodying President
Truman's plan to broaden unem
t ployment benefits during recon
o version to peacetime production.
Chairman Doughton (D-NC) of
the house ways and means com

" ure “by request" of the adminis
j tration. declined to say what he
„ thinks of it.

n
Rep. Knutson (R-Minn1, the
committee's Republican leader,
predicted its defeat.
The legislation would provide:
1. Raising to $25 weekly maxi
mum unemployment payments to
individuals from present averages
of *15 to $18 weekly (varying by
states).
2. Increasing to 26 in any one
year the number of weeks of com
pensation. Workers in approxi
mately one-third of the states now
can receive no more than 16 weeks
n
il
d
of benefits.
INCREASING GROUPS
3. Blanketing under unemploy
ment compensation coverage a
round 3,000,000 federal workers
and 190,000 to 200.000 maritime
workers. In addition agreements
i could be made with the states lor
: coverage of other groups.
The federal government would
. pay the cost of the increased pay
ments and broadened coverage.
Mr. Truman asked for such a
program in a special message to
j Congress May 28, saying that "de
' cent unemployment benefits would
( serve as a bulwark against post
war deflation" and Cat workers
held to war production have cre
I ated "a moral obligation'’ on the
part of the government.
Doughton called the ways anc
