The total number of unemployed in mid- January was 435,000 or 9.4 percent of the labor force. Another 100,000 were working half normal time or less. By the time you read this, the number will have increased. Since Labor Day, 45,000 workers in Pennsylvania have used up their unemployment compensation pay- ments. Most of these workers’ fam- ilies are now on relief. While we are still well above de- | pression levels the employment situ- | ation is serious enough to call for | immediate action at all governmen- | tal levels. Nobody wants to be a | | “prophet of doom and gloom;” but | we won't end this recession by sit- | ting on our hands and issuing hope- | ful statements about upturn in the economy. What can a Senator do? Unfor- During World War II, Mr. Johnson | 2 served as staff officer with the Corps tunately, not much that will help of Engineers, Army of the United | immediately. New legislation takes States with overseas duty in Africa and Italy. Mr. Johnson is a member of the Luzerne County Chapter of the Na- tional Society of Professional Engi- needs, Dallas Rotary Club and Prince of Peace Episcopal Church in Dallas.

H.— Robert S. Gregory, Dallas R. F. D., has re- served the prefix “Bob’s Hill” for use in naming his purebred Guern- sey cattle, according to the Ameri- can Guernsey Cattle Club. This new prefix has been placed on file with the club, and from now on Mr. Gregory will have exclusive use of it. In fact, “Bob’s Hill” will be his trademark in the Guernsey world. The American Guernsey Cattle Club is a non-profit agricultural reg- istry organization serving some 40,000 purebred Guernsey breeders from coast-to-coast. Stationed At Fort Carson Fort Carson, Colo.

In our Housing Subcommittee, I | am supporting the broadest possible | “anti-recession” program. The home- | building industry was depressed by “tight money” even before the cur- | rent recession. Present home con- | struction, although up ever so slight- ily, is barely 50 percent of what we need. Funds for financing construc- | tion of low-cost houses would give the economy a needed boost. Urban redevelopment and public housing | projects would put people back to | work. | Iam also strongly supporting Fed- eral aid for school construction. | Pennsylvania alone has a backlog of i 400 needed schools, costing $350 | million, which cannot be built be- | cause the state hasn’t got the money | to build them. Unfortunately, pros- | pects for this legislation were under- ' mined when the President withdrew the support he gave school con- | struction last year. | Highway and airport construction | must be expedited to make new | wealth-creating jobs. | An Immediate Speed-up Equally important is defense pro- curement. If we were doing all that | we should to meet the Soviet ad- | vance — making missiles, aircraft, submarines, radar— we would not | be worrying now about what to do | | about the recession; there wouldn't | be one. The difficulty is we cut back | defense spending just when we | should have been speeding it up. -Even now a greater sense of urgency is badly needed in Washington. The President has announced a | program of post office construction, | but he made it contingent on ap- proval by Congress of the highly controversial 5-cent stamp for out- of-town letters. In any case, this program would not be ready to go forward for several months and is intended to be spread out over several years. As Postmaster Gen- eral Summerfield admitted, it will! have little effect in stemming the recession. Under these circumstances, I pre- pared a letter to the President calling attention to the emergency in Pennsylvania and asking him to accelerate military procurement and public works schedules wherever possible. A large part of the Penn-' sylvania = Congressional delegation ' joined me in this appeal, including all twelve Democrats, but unfortun- ately, most of my Republican col- | leagues refused to join, which weak- ened its effectiveness. Raising Unemployment Benefits { Our unemployment compensation system has been allowed to deter- PAGE ELEVEN Senator Joe Clark Gives Insight Into Problems Facing The Nation Favors Raising Unemployment Benefits; Seeks Tax Benefits For Teachers And Small Business CLARK Pennsylvania need for strengthening our defenses, but at the same time America must put every ounce of effort and wis- dom we can muster into exploring all possible avenues toward peace. | Bills Sponsored Since the new session began, I have joined various of my colleagues in introducing the following meas- ures: TAX RELIEF FOR TEACHERS: A bill to permit teachers to deduct for income tax purposes money spent at summer school or in other courses to maintain or improve their proficiency. This is simple justice to permit teachers, like other persons, to deduct what amounts to a “busi- ness expense.” TAX RELIEF FOR SMALL BUSI- NESS: The most important provis- ion of this seven-point bill would allow small businesses to deduct up to $10,000 of profits which are re- tained in the firm and reinvested. This should help offset the difficulty small businesses have in obtaining capital which their large competitors can readily obtain in the open mar- ket. BILLBOARD CONTROL: A bill to give states a financial incentive to effectively regulate billboards along the interstate highway system, which, if we do not act, is on its way to becoming a garish network of neon-lighted tunnels. AMENDMENT TO THE MINE SAFETY ACT: A bill to extend the Federal mine inspection program to small mines now exempt from it. These mines produced only 7 per- cent of our coal tonnage but ac- counts for more than a quarter of mine accidents in 1957. It is evident that Federal inspection will help save lives. Save The Capitol! I am supporting efforts to block remodelling of the Capitol’'s east facade, one of its few original and unchanged portions, where Presi- dents are inaugurated. There must be other ways to expand spacewise without tampering with America’s most historic shrine. I testified at Senate Public Works Committee hearings recently and hope we will be successful in preserving the beauty and tradition of the original Capitol. Politics Joe Mundy Is Only Hope Here Shavertown Man Liked By Everybody Many friends and admirers of Joe Mundy, Shavertown, are urging him to run for Sixth District Represen- tative or Senator. Active in Democratic circles, Joe also numbers hundreds of Republi- cans among his friends. They point out that the Republi- can powerhouse is in the Back Mountain area and that Mundy, who is well liked, is the only Democrat who can crack the powerhouse since he has a big following here. Here is their reasoning. In the Primary last May Mundy opposed John Pope, Sixth District chairman, for Prothonotary. He battled an en- trenched county organization with 1,200 State jobs and plenty of money. Mundy on the other hand did not hire a single worker. The results were almost unbelievable. He polled a record high vote of a 11,000 for an independent Democrat. He swept the Seventh District iorate steadily since it was first | (Wilkes-Barre City) by more than established in 1939, with the result | 500 votes and also carried the Third that it is a far less effective cushion | District (greater Pittston) Duryea, in hard times than it was then. Not Dupont, Jenkins Township, Pittston one state among the 48 now pays the unemployed as high a ropori| tion of average wages as was the case in 1939. This comes about in part from inter-state competition for industry. | If Pennsylvania, for example, were to set standards far out of line with | other states, it might lose industry to states willing to tolerate sub- sandard conditions. The result is a pressure on each state not to do| better, but to do worse, than its neighbors. The answer to this dilemma is national standards for benefits — | which is the purpose of a bill which | I joined Senator Kennedy of Massa- | chusetts and 15 other senators in introducing early this month. Our bill would require each state to pay benefits for at least 39 weeks. (The duration in Pennsylvania is | now 30 weeks.) It would raise the ceiling on} weekly benefits in Pennsylvania from $35 to $50. Subject to this maximum, each worker's benefits would be at least 50 percent of his normal weekly wage, as at present. | The Fervor For Peace It is ironic that in the whole of our government, only a tiny handful of people with a miniscule budget | have been working on the complex | Township and city. In his own Sixth District, he car- ried the Back Mountain 5 to 1 and his former home town of Exeter by about 3 to 1. He also swept Wyo- ming, West Wyoming and ‘Forty Fort. In the Senatorial District he car- ried every ward in heavy populat: Newport and received a flattering vote in Hazleton city. Veteran politicians believe that Mundy, a resident of the Back | Mountain, may have the potentiality to take the measure of the present Republican Representative Roy Parry of Luzerne. If Mundy can’t do it no other Democrat can. In 1956, Parry is reported to have * told Mundy that he was darn glad he was not opposing Joe Mundy as his opponent. It is not likely that Mundy could be prevailed upon to enter the race for State Senator, though such a race might be a humdinger as both are from the Back Mountain. Mundy and Flack have a high personal re- gard for each other. Whether Joe enters either contest is a question but it is certain he has raised Democratic hopes in this rock ribbed Republican area. No less a vote getter than Con- gressman Daniel Flood said at a Tes- | problems of disarmament and peace. | timonial Dinner that his own high Mr. Stassen, who was the President's | vote in the Back Mountain area was advisor on disarmament had only 40 | around 600 until the Jeffersonian people working with him. Millions, | Club with Joe Mundy started to in uniform and out, are manning our | spearhead his campaign. The results | present armaments and designing | were that Flood got 2,600 in 1954 | new ones. | and 2,800 in 1956, and that, brother, There is no question about the is vote getting for a Democrat.
