(Pig J, Se. 1) Cipltal Jounul, Salem, Ore., Tom., My 1, 1957 Solons Back Labor's Jobless Benefit Bill By PAUL W. HARVEY Jr. Associated Press Writer Efforts to compromise the Ore gon Legislature's problem of un employment compensation failed Monday night. The Senate Labor and Industries Committee, which has studied the question for three months, split 4-3 along party lines in recom mending passage of labor's bill to boost jobless benefits and em ployer contributions. The split with the Democrats on the prevailing side means the bill is in for some hard going when it reaches the evenly di vided Senate. OHMART UPSETS PACT A subcommittee, consisting of Sens. Dan Dimick (Dl, Rosoburg, and Rudie Wilhclm (R), Portland, submitted a compromise to the committee. Then Sen.

The labor bill would Increase maximum weekly jobless benefits from $35 to $40, and extend cover age to employers of one person. The changes, with other liberal ized provisions, would mean total annual benefit payments of $25,- zoo.ooo a year, or $1,800,000 more than now is being paid out. The employer contribution rale. now running from .3 to 3 per cent oi payrolls, would be jumped to a scale of .9 to 2.7 per cent. HIG EMPLOYER RAISE Kmnlnvr whn nnuf pnnf rilmla more than 17 millions a year, would find their tax bill jumped to $25,200,000, The net effect of the bill would be a $3,808,000 annual excess of income over cost, which would build up the shrinking unemploy ment trust fund. Employers and Labor agreed to the employer contribution rates In the subcommittee s compromise. The Legislature got some good news when the state Tax Com mission reported that the general fund surplus will amount to $36, 800,000 at the end of the biennium on July 1. This means that the Legislature has $4,100,000 more than it thought It had. The Senate passed and sent to the Governor a bill to make it illegal for a party line telephone user to fail to give up the line when somebody else needs it in emergency. The maximum penally would be a year in jail and $500 fine. $400,000 FOR STARTER Ways-Means Okays Meat Check Funds Approval of a bill appropriating 400,000 to Inaugurate a compul sory statewide meat inspection program was recommended by the Joint Ways and Means Commit tee Monday.

JORDAN CRISIS AFTERMATH Egypt-Syria Isolation Due In New Arab Power Lineup By WALTER LOGAN United Press Staff Correspondent Middle East dispatches hinted today at a new alignment of pow er that might leave Egypt and Syria isolated from the other Arab nations. Egypt's semi official Middle East News Agency reported from Damascus that Jordan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia are contemplating the creation of a new three-power pact. Iraq is now a member of the Baghdad Pact. Jordan and Saudi Arabia are linked with Egypt and Syria in a four-power military al liance. The Middle East News Agency said Jordan which rejected the Baghdad Pact following nation wide rioting last year is trying to persuade Iraq to quit the Bagh dad Pact. There was no confirmation of the reports, but King Saud of Saudi Arabia is paying a state visit to King Feisal of Iraq within a few days and King Hussein will follow up the visit by going to Baghdad a few days later. Any such realignment would re sult in large part from King Hus sein's government crisis in which pro-Soviet Syrian leaders gave refuge to Jordanian military lead ers since denounced as "traitors" and Cairo Radio kept up steady streams of propaganda to bolster Hussein's left-wing political oppo nents. 1 A Cairo dispatch reported today that two of the ousted leaders had gone there from Damascus Maj. Gen. Ali Abu Nuwar and Maj. Gen. Ali Hiyyari. Nuwar was ousted as chief of staff at start of the Jordan crisis: Hiyyari, his successor, then lied to Syria. Harlman Bros.
