Defeated Yesterday Lesser Leads Dem Fight To Liberalize Unemployment
Harrisburg AP reports that minority Senate Democrats plan another push to insert three amendments into the unemployment compensation bill. Sen. William G. Lesler, leading the push, cites six absent Democrats and notes Republicans split with Democrats on the amendments. If defeated again, Ernest P. Kline vows to introduce a bill carrying those amendments, hoping GOP support to bypass a Shafer veto. The package would liberalize the pregnancy clause and cut pension and Social Security deductions, while allowing an active search requirement to be removed. The measure is tied to a Shafer backed three bill package, with other pieces raising minimum wage and workmen’s compensation.
