ILL-BALANCED
Two weeks ago we endorsed the unemployment compensa
tion rate bill that had been introduced in the Oregon senate.
We must now withdraw that endorsement. We have not
changed the opinions then expressed, but the measure in ques
tion, senate bill 186, has been changed materially. VVnere
once it was a well-balanced piece of legislation, it is now an
ill-balanced piece. It would be better to retain tne present law
than to amend it in the manner now proposed.
Tn its orisrinal form, senate bill 136 proposed elimination
. of the "floor and ceiling" clause from the law, the elimina
tion of emD over contribution rates above 2.7 and reduction
of the minimum rate to .5. The law now sets 1 as the mini
mum rate, 4 as the maximum rate. A change made in the
bill before its passage by the senate yesterday provides tor
continued operation of the floor, which means that whenever
the level of the fund reaches an indicated percentage (this
vear S15.000.000 in money), the rates, running irom Z.o'c
down to .5 allowed employers in recognition of their records
lot providing steady employment, an increase to me c.iyo
maximum.
This change came about as the result of what is known as
a deal. Labor was asking, although not expecting to get, an
increase of 170 in possible unemployment benefits. Em
ployers with high earned contribution rates wanted eiimina
tion of those above 2.7. Labor wanted the floor retained so
that vastly increased benefits would not deplete the fund.
High rate employers didn't care much about the floor one
way or the other. So their agents, assertedly Bpeaking lor all
employers (which they do not do), blithely consented to
leave the floor in the law. Whereupon labor gave the 2.7
maximum its blessing and said something about being satis
fied with a mere 50 increase in benefits. With these arrange
ments, the senate labor and industries committee was as
sured, everybody would be happy.
Let it be said here that the labor and industries committee
was. not unanimous in accepting this assurance. But the
mangled bill did find its way to the floor of the senate with a
"do pass" recommendation. It was passed and now goes tp the
house. - - .--.
In the progress of senate bill 136, as has been the case in
the past when attempts have been made to get top rates re
duced, the interests of a large class of employers who provide
continuity of employment (much more important than unem
ployment benefits) were largely ignored. A the measure
stands, it is true,, the new .5 rate remains, but this Js of
minor importance compared with potential effects of opera
tion of the floor clause.
Under the re-vamped bill, should there at any time be a
depletion of the fund, this class of employers will be required
to do the replenishing. In doing this replenishing they will
have forced upon them a rate increa.se much; more abrupt
and much more drastic than would: ever' have 'been visited
upon high rate employers under operation of the ceiling
clause. And those who have deserved high charges will be
forgiven them.
As the bill goes to the lower house the situation which it
promises to create is manifestly inequitable and discriminatory.

THE LETTER
Jozef Eisner's hands trembled.
Aubrey Williams may or may not be the right man to head
the rural electrification administration we do not think he is
but we know that if a private utility did as much as the RE A
has done to interfere with rural telephone service there would
be no end to criticism and demand for improvement. '
It begins to bo understood that the Crimean conference
accepted the Curzon line for the division of Poland and the
Stalin line for most everything else.

"Here, let me do It."
"Please, Frederic, hurry. We
can't be late."
"Stand still, Professor."
" Ten, tch. Of course. Take
your time. What are we hurrying

"I'll promise you anything.
What shall it be tonight?"
"Frederic, be calm. How do you
feel?"
"Calm."
" That's It; don't worry about
anything. Everything will pass
over. How did you say you felt
nervous?"
"Not in the least."
"Exactly. There Is nothing to
be nervous about. Why should you
be nervous? Very silly. But why

"Never better, Professor."
"Humph. Well, that will all

Frederic tied Jozef Eisner's

" Tch, tch, don't stand there!

Training Center, Orlando, Fla.
At the start of the war in Eu
rope, the Germans were so con
fident of the superiority of their
airplanes that they ignored com
pletely the aviation development
oi tneir enemies. Tne uermans
had seen their bombers outdis
tance the best fighters Britain and
France had been able to put in
the air against them at Paris air
meets, and so the Germans went
out and got drunk to celebrate. It
wasn't until the Battle of Britain,
when Spitfires and Hurricanes
began to knock Jerry bombers
out of the air by the hundreds,
that the Luftwaffe learned its
lesson.
Similarly, before Pearl Harbor
the U. S. air force paid little at
tention to a fat, flimsily-con-
struct- little Jap plane called the
zero. What it did to us Is history.
Out of these two great stra
tegic mistakes there has been de
veloped a new specialty of war-
lare Known as technical air intel
ligence. A course in this subject
is now taught here at Orlando.
The British had to show us how
to work it, and RAF officers
came to the United States to help
us set up a center to do research
on enemy planes. 1
Here captured aircraft and
parts are torn down, put under
the microscope, then put together
again and test flown.
Why bother about the planes of
Jerry and the Jap? For one thing,
these technical laboratory detec
tives learn about enemy inter
plane radios. They learn the arcs
of fire their guns will cover and
so point out tne blind spots from
which they can be attacked with
greatest safety for Allied pilots.
Such information help pilots de
stroy more enemy planes and get
back home safe and sound.
