Jobless Bill Attacked by Both Sides in Ohio
The Ohio House Judiciary Committee prepared to report the Senate approved unemployment compensation bill for an early vote amid criticism from business groups as too liberal and from labor as too strict. Witnesses debated weekly benefits, with business reps pushing from $21 to $20 for 22 weeks and labor proposing $25 for 26 weeks and other changes. The Senate's adjournment and governor discussions frame the move, while a separate measure raising the drinking age to 21 clears the Senate and heads to the House.
