Senator
Cure for Drain
On Jobless Fund
KETCHIKAN, UP—Sen. Bob El

torial employment security funds
would be. relieved somewhat if
higher income workers would
wait longer for their unemploy

Ellis offered the suggestion in
a speech to the Alaska Territorial
Federation of Labor convention
as “a partial solution” to the
problems faced by the deficit
plagued fund.
“Great strides have been made
in closing the deficit gap between
income and outgo but there is still

Therefore, he said, he was ad
vancing a “plan whereby claim
ants in the high wage brackets be
required to wait longer than the
customary period before drawing
benefits. The higher the bracket,
the longer the wait.”

next legislature could expect
pressudes from all directions for
changes in the Employment Se

By the, Associated Press <
President Eisenhower took part
Wednesday in a novel campaign
effort: an afternoon radio-TV pro
gram during which he answered
questions put him by a group of
seven women.
In the course of this program,
which originated in a Washington
studio, Eisenhower said once
again that the military draft must
be kept in force because he said
the United States lives in a “world
of tension.”
Adlai Stevenson has suggested
consideration be given to ending
the draft at the earliest possible
moment “consistent with the na
tional security.” Eisenhower said
Wednesday he didn’t think he
would be justified in discussing
an end to the draft “in terms of
months or years.”
In response to a question on
the H-bomb, Eisenhower said pos
session of such a super weapon is
a “deterrent that warns any ag
gressor: ‘Don’t attack us because
it would be suicidal’.” He said the
H-bomb helps give the United
States “a position of strength.”
Eisenhower did not mention
Stevenson’s proposal in his ap
pearance with the women Wed
nesday, but Nixon said in Evans
ton. 111., that Stevenson’s “injec
tion of the H-bomb issue into this
campaign has cost him whatever
confidence he might have merited
as a candidate for President.”
Campaign of Deceit
Unmatched in Politics’:
Stevenson on GOP
By the Associated Press
| Adlai Stevenson put in a rug
| ged 12-hour campaign day Wed
nesday, covering 110 miles of
New York’s Bronx and suburban
sections.
Speaking to responsive crowds
in usually Republican Nassau and
Westchester Counties, Stevenson
said he and Estes Kefauver have
tried to present the great national
issues.” But, he said, “the plain
fact is that the Republicans are
winding up a campaign of deceit
unmatched in U.S. politics.” Then
he told his listeners, “I am good
and mad; plenty of Americans
are.”
. Earlier, addressing a cheering
rally in the normally Democratic
Bronx, Stevenson said, “Nothing
has disgusted me more” than what
he termed the "phony peace is
sue” in the campaign,
i At one point, the Democratic
candidate said Eisenhower had
spoken “silly nonsense” in saying
American prestige is at its highest
level.
