Jobless Aid Urgently Backed by Labor Secretary

He also cited Eisenhower proposals to raise federal funds for a 50 percent increase in weeks covered, prompting concerns about emergency programs. In Bangkok, the U.S. handed over $3 million more to Thailand after previously providing 72 planes under military aid.
