Key Democrats Say Request Too Small
Washington observes a split within House Democrats over President Eisenhower's proposed temporary 50 percent increase in unemployment benefits. They call it a minimum response, urging a broader package inclining toward tax cuts and Social Security boosts. The Mills-McCormack bill seeks 16 extra weeks of unemployment pay funded by the federal government, with at least half the worker’s wage as compensation, while Eisenhower favors a 50 percent extension financed federally on a loan basis. Grand Rapids crowd watches Robinson Basilio bout on closed circuit TV. technical delays mar the telecast and refunds totaling about $6,000 are issued.

Landon urges change in Kansas unemployment benefits
Former Governor Alf Landon called for a special legislative session to consider extending unemployment benefit duration and boosting weekly payments. He noted Kansas's UI trust fund, backed by employer payroll taxes, held over 8 million dollars as of March 19, with potential boosts up to 30 weeks funded by the federal government but requiring state action. John Morrison said legal questions exist about accepting a new program. In January and February, 2,355 Kansans exhausted benefits, up from 1,968 in the prior year, with May expected to see the largest exhaustions amid improving employment prospects. Uninsured and insured unemployment rose to 6 percent by March 22, above the national rate near 7 percent.
