Unemployment
Increases In N.C.
RALEIGH The Employment
Security Commission in North Car
olina is enlarging its staff consider
ably in order to handle more effici
ently the tremendous increase in
job applications and claims for un
employment benefits.
That the officials of this agency
are of the opinion the present wave
of unemployment is temporary is
shown by the fact that the addition
al help is being employed on a
month-to-month basis.
However, officials of ESC refuse
to predict hpw long the unemploy
ment trend will continue. They on
ly "know they are "flooded with
claims" for benefits and that their
work is approximately 100 per cent
greater than six months ago.
FIRE TRUCKS EXEMPT
SAVANNAH, Ga. (UP) It's your
tough luck if you tangle with a
fire engine, city court ruled in void
ing Bell Johnson's suit for dam
ages. Johnson was struck by a fly
ing wheel from a truck. But fire
trucks perform a "governmental
function," the court said.
Senate Expected
To Kill Motor
Inspections Law
i Special Correspondence)
RALEIGH The State motor ve
hicle inspection program, in its
present form at least, is now rapid
ly moving toward its last days.
This is the consensus of mem
bers of the Legislature who saw
the House neatly lay the axe to this
13-months-old aggravation last Fri
day morning.
While those who have played
leading roles in the fight on the
inspection lane admit privately
that, theoretically, it is a good law,
the feeling in Raleigh and through
out the State seems to be that the
millions of dollars It is costing
motorists and the inconvenience
and misunderstandings which have
arisen from its enforcement have
largely negated any benefits it was
intended to effect.
As the bill putting the inspec
tion law to death moves over to
the State Senate there will be fur
rier debate. However, the member:
of this body, lik their brothers in
the House, know their constituents
are determined that the inspection
program must be brought to an
end.
