Churchill Says U.S.
Ahead of Russia in
H - Bomb Work
LONDON, i/P*—Prime Minister
Churchill said Tuesday the United j
States is far ahead of Russia in
hydrogen bomb development. He
said it will be three or four years
—possibly as little as two years—
before Russia is in a position to
launch an H-bomb attack on
North America.
After that, Churchill told the
House of Commons, Russian H
bomb power will be great enough
to cripple the western world, al
though still trailing behind that
1 of the free nations.
I
The Prime Minister said his irr
l formation is that the Russians
have developed what he called a
type of bomb of intermediate
power. He added:
“This is no reason, however,
why they should not develop,
sometime within the next four
or three or even two years, more
advance weapons and the means
to deliver them to North Ameri
can targets.”
Churchill opened a defense-plan
ning debate in the wage of his
own government’s decision, an
nounced last month, that Britain
will make H-bombs.

Hedges Defends
Senate Bill on
Jobless Security
By JIM HUTCHESON
JUNEAU, itfi—Under intense
House questioning, Arthur Hedg
es, assistant director of Alaska’s
Unemployment Security Depart
ment, acknowledged Monday he
wrote Senate Bill 56, which re
stricts benefit payments sharply.
The House also has a bill of its
own on the subject, with points
which differ widely from the Sen
ate’s views.
The Senate started considering
amendments on its bill Monday.
But only minor ones came up.
with no debate on the major is
sues involved.
Hedges was on the stand all
afternoon in the House. He esti
mated that House Bill 50 would
bring about 5,000 more workers
under unemployment benefits in
Alaska annually than the Senate
plan.
It was after he testified that he
thought personally the Senate bill
was a better measure that he ad
mitted he had drafted it. He draft
ed it, he testified, after the Senate
Finance Committee asked him at
a conference why he didn’t pre
sent a concrete, workable unem
ployment insurance plan.
Hedges conceded one of the re
strictions in the Senate bill is, in
effect, a seasonality clause under
which a worker could not draw
benefits in a month of one year
unless he was employed at some
time during the same month in
the previous year.
The House bill proposes to put
! a one percent tax on each work
er’s paycheck up to $4,800, which
would be a maximum of $48 in a
year, and raise the worker’s pay
base on which the employer pays
three percent tax from the pres
ent $3,000 to $4,800.
Hedges declared that the Em
ployment Security Program was
adopted nationally as strictly an
insurance plan for workers who
become unemployed because of
the economic situation, not regu
larly during specific seasons.
He said it was not intended as
a public welfare measure, but he
added that it virtually had be
come that.
