WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS ?
A Sound ESC Compromise
A MINORITY REPORT by the Governor’s com
mittee for the study on employment security
problems has been submitted by Rob Ellis, the only
dissenting member against the proposal ,to tax total
wages for unemployment.
Ellis, a businessman of many years, recommends
that the Administration should submit a bill indicating
some degree of conservatism on this controversial
subject.
His compromise idea would limit contributions to
a total of $4,800, equal to social security, which raises
the maximum from $4,200.
He recommends that those entitled to the 26-week
benefits must have worked 20 weeks of the year, and
the duration of benefits be limited to weeks worked.
One week of benefits for each week of work, but not
more than 26 weeks.
He calls attention to the fact that many of the
claimants earned in excess of $7,000 and then drew
their benefits, while many employes in the state earn
that amount on a full-time basis.
There is much merit in his suggestions, and they
warrant serious consideration by our legislators.
Everyone wants the State indebtedness paid, but the
fellow who is employed the year ’round should not
be penalized for working, at somewhat lower wages,
to support those who make high seasonal wages and
lives off of unemployment checks the rest of the year.
GRASSROOTS OPINION
From Simsbury, Conn., Farmington Valley Herald:
“One of the most serious cancers growing within the
American system is the fiscal irresponsibility that is 1
afflicting the people who run our governments. . . . j
We are engaged in a life and death struggle with
international communism. Further, the Communist
' leaders have told us over and over that they are not
going to try to ( defeat the United States in a costly
military conflict but by encouraging fiscal irrespon
sibility and reckless spending in the United States
until the Capitalist system and our Republic is buried
in the dust and rubble ef national bankruptcy. The
goal is pegged by Russian leaders at 1970. Isn’t it
about time we evaluated our situation, and did some
thing constructive toward it??”

j European, American Officials Gird To
I Combat Sudden Rash of Anti-Semitism
(By The Associated Press)
Aroused officials in America
and abroad set out yesterday to
assess and comibat the sudden,
worldwide outburst of anti-Semi
tism.
Political repercussions were felt
in West Germany, where the cam
paign was begun by neo-Nazis on
Christmas Eve, and in Britain,
where anti-German feeling still
remains strong from World War
II.
Sir Christopher Steel, British
Ambassador to Bonn came home
from West Germany for special
talks. British officials privately
expressed concern at the inter
national standing of West Ger
many’s government, a partner in
the North Atlantic Alliance.
The West Germans took their
first court action, sentencing a
man in Berlin to 10 months in
jail for painting anti-Jewish slo
gans on two doors and a shop
window. He is Rolf Wollny, 23, an
unemployed clerk.
Sixteen members of extremist
organizations were toeing held in
West Berlin after they staged an
outdoor meeting Saturday and
sang Nazi songs.
West Berlin took steps to ban
two radical rightist youth groups
although police said neither had
been directly connected with
anti-Semitic incidents. The two
are the National Youth of Ger
many and the League of Nation
alist Students.
In the United States, the na
tional director of the Anti-Defa
mation League of B'Nai B’Rith
announced plans to go to West
Germany next week. Benjamin B.
Epstein of New York »aid he
would seek a “full, complete” re
port and then present it to the
B’Nai B’Rith international coun
cil meeting January 25-26 in
Amsterdam.
Another American Jewish lead
er refused to dismiss the smear
campaign as strictly the work of
“hooligans whose taste for vio
lence has been excited by the in
cidents in Germany.”

Humphrey Says
Next President
Must Clean House
WASHINGTON, Uf)—“The next
President of the United States is
going to inherit a series of prob
lems that have been swept under
the rug where they have been fes
tering and intensifying,” Senator
Hubert Humphrey said yesterday.
Humphrey hopes to be that
man. He is actively seeking the
Democratic Presidential1 nomina
tion.
The , Minnesota senator, in a
speech ^ prepared for a National
Press Club luncheon, called the
years since President Eisenhower
took office in 1953 “The age of
complacency.” Nowhere, however,
did he mention Eisenhower by
name.
Humphrey said “In the name of
‘fiscal responsibility,’ an adminis
tration that knew the cost of ev
erything and the value of nothing
shattered the great pattern of
American world leadership.”
“Slogans were; substituted for
programs,” Humphrey said. “Pub
lic relations replaced public
service.
“The job of the next President
of the United States,” he said,
“is to take off the wraps — to
liberate America’s energies and
resources — and to tell the Amer
ican people the plain truth.”
