Fifth Of Senate To Rule Fate Of Jobless Aid Plan
Senator Kilgore says one fifth of the Senate holds the fate of a presidentially backed jobless aid plan. The bill would extend federal funds to sustain state benefits, grant up to 200 for moving war workers and dependents, and aid 2.9 million federal employees along with 400,000 maritime workers. George notes reconversion risks from strikes, with Ford workers eligible for unemployment if parts shortages persist. The measure seeks a temporary bridge to reconversion, with a maximum 26 weeks of aid.
