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.
