The widespread Impression that Eisenhower is thinking of trigger ing a big new government-aid pun unless the unemployment situation improves in march seems to be a mistaken one. . -i ; In his tax speech to the country, this week, counselling against Democratic efforts to reduce per sonal income taxes, the President said; " ' -.i ; "Economic conditions do not call or an emergency program that would justify larger federal defi cits and further inflation through additional tax reductions at this. tone" If. . - :.' V Unrmpoyment Rises s This statement, mkie only a few days after the government report ed unemployment had; increased in February to- 3,671000, indicated some people had -overdrawn the meaning of what Eisenhower had told a news conference -a month earlier. ; 'it ' . i On February 17 the President said he considered -March a key month. He said the iusual spring upturn in employment normally begins to make itself feh in March. If that didn't happen - this- year; he said, it would be a definite warning calling for 1 government measures. Larger tax concessions for consumers, he ; added, would be possibly considered. Hiring increases il ! "It's important to note the Pres ident referred to an; employment upturn. Because larger numbers of Deoole look for jobs when the weather warms up. and hiring in creases too. it could be that em ployment would increase consid erably without any; substantial change in over -: all unemploy ment I At any rate, the! government estimates of employment and un employment for march won't come out until nearly, mid-April. A Labor Department survey of major labor market areas this week indicated unemployment was increasing into March, but the rate of increase was slowing down.
