Stiff er Rules For Jobless Pay Proposed Stiffer rules but higher pay ments under the Oregon unem ployment benefits law will be pro posed in new legislation now be ing prepared. Sen. S. Eugene Al len (R), Portland, said Wednes day. Allen's plan would disqualify zrom any benefits those unem ployed persons who had quit work without cause, had refused to accept suitable work offered him or to apply for it or had been fired for misconduct. Under a governor's committee plan, which was announced ear lier this week, such persons would be penalized by a cut of up to 20 per cent of their jobless pay. The Allen plan would set the range of payments between $17 and $40. Present range is $15 to $25; governor's committee recom mendation, $15 to $35. Allen would require $750 earn ings for a minimum base year in order to qualify a person for benefits. The advisory committee recommends $450. Persons disqualified from bene fits would have to build up their earnings before they would again become eligible for unemploy ment compensation. This step, Allen declared Wed nesday, would save the unemploy ment fund about $720,000 a year ana make possible the higher benefits to "legitimate jobseek- era." He said the same unemploy ment tax rate as proposed by the governor s committee would be used in his plan.

" Births Fire, PoKce Post Exams Date Sla Promotional examinations for captain ' and battalion chief in the Salem fire department and entrance examinations for patrol man in the police department will be held the week of Feb ruary 14, the City Civil Service Commission announced Wednes day. . . . The examinations were scnea- uled at the request of Fire -Chief E. L. Smith and Police Chief Clyde A. Warren to establish eligibility lists for the positions. No vacancies now exist for the fire department posts how, but one vacancy will occur for a cap tain's post when the retirement of Capt Arthur White becomes effective in March. The commission promised early action, probably at its February meeting, on approval of revisions to the city civil service by-laws. Principal interest centered around regulations on outside employment and political activi ties of civil service employes. Revisions are expected to mod ify the political restrictions to allow employes to campaign for measures but not for candidates. Under existing rules both are prohibited, barring employes from soliciting votes for legisla tion of any kind. Resignation of Harold Maynard Sr. from the fire department was accepted without comment by the commission.
