of which went' back to Oregon,

State Experience Ratings
Employers' experience rating under Oregon's unemploy

social security board, Administrator Silas Gaiser announced
Saturday. '

by the state, it was necessary to
obtain the board's certification for
allowing reduced rate s," Gaiser
said.
Depending on benefit charges

US Should Hit
"Below Belt"
PORTLAND, June 14-yp)-The
nazis want peace with England so
they can move against Russia, Dr.
Joseph S. Roucek, political science
professor at Hofstra college,
Hempstear, NY, said here Satur
day. '
He told an interviewer that the
flight of Rudolf Hess, nazi lead
er, to Scotland probably was plan
ned as a peace move, and he
pointed out that Prime Minister
Winston Churchill of England
never had made a statement
clearing up the affair.
'The tragedy in this country
and England is that we already
are licked psychologically," Dr.
Roucek said.
"Hitler's whole technique is
based upon hitting below the belt,
and the United States is going to
have to learn to hit not only be
low the belt, but a little lower.
, "The United States should spend
more money on building up mo
rale and also start a fifth column
cf its own in Germany."-

cent.
The new rates, varying from
1 to 4 per cent, take affect July
1. Because of the prevision for
three years benefit payment ex
perience only about 60 per cent
of covered employers are eligi
ble, .: "
Although the present experience
rating system was enacted in 1939,
changes made this year include:
Successor in interest to acquire
experience of predecessor.
Agents for employer groups.
Judicial review for disputed
charges.
Payroll estimates for delin
quents? Three years employment ex
perience. Calendar year rates and trust
fund "ceiling" or 6 per cent and
"floor" of 3 per cent of average
covered payroll.
Notice of new rates together
with all benefit charges will be
mailed to about 6000 eligible
employers July 1. The employ
ment commission's preliminary
work indicates about one third
of these firms will continue at
the present 2.7 per cent, another
third will ret rates of 1 to Z
per cent, and a final third will
pay from 3 to 4 per cent.
If the present trust fund, now
slightly over $12,000,000, con
tinues its present growth, the
"ceiling" of about $14,000,000 may
be reached before the end of 1941,
eliminating penalty rates. The
fund must be checked at the end
cf each quarter to determine "ceil
ing" and "floor" for rates in the
succeeding quarter.

WHY has this year's Ford scored one of
the biggest sales gains oyer the pre
Tious year in all Ford history? Why did
its sales this year start to boom so far in ad
vance of the usual spring car-buying season?
The answer's just that good news Irarels fast,
that buyers are discovering the new 1941
advantages that only a Ford gives you at the
price, that buyers are switching to the great
est Ford ever built to get the things it gives.
