T .62 ear were made necessary by the amended law adopted during the closing hours of the 1955 legis lative session. More than 32.000 claims have been filed since last July and the total may reach 52,000 before Jan. 1. Half Draw Money Only about half of these claim ants have drawn compensation, and those still working, the com mission said, should wait until mid-December to request their new determinations. Early dis tribution of the new determina tions is designed for those unem ployed and now drawing bene fits. Although more than two- thirds of the unemployed work ers will be entitled to larger weekly benefits under the amended law, a preliminary study indicates that from 12 to 15 per cent of the claimants will be eliminated and nearly as many more will get smaller checks. Most of these are season al workers, including many women employees of canneries, stores and service lines. Maximum weekly benefit will be increased from $25 to $35 a week in 1956. The minimum will remain at $15". The average check is expected to increase from $22 or $30 a week. Maxi mum annual duration continues unchanged at 26 weeks. Based on Earnings Under the current benefit schedule, weekly amounts are determined by the base year earnings of the claimant. The new schedule sets weekly bene fits at one-twenty-sixth of the high quarter earnings in the base year. The current annual limit of one-third of the claimant's base year wages remain in the law. Also taking effect in 1956 will be extension of coverage to firms employing two or three persons. This is expected to add about 10,000 employees and 23, 000 employees. Unemployment Compensation cannot be paid to these workers, however, until July 1, 1957.

(U.R) The two witnesses who told police they heard shots on Padre is land near where Mrs. Violet Ca nales Worden says she killed her husband may be questioned by Kleberg county authorities. Kleberg County Attorney Royce Johnston said he and Dis trict Attorney Sam Jones of Corpus Christi want to talk to those two witnesses. Wife Admitted Crime Worden, a 45-year-old real es tate man, was shot and killed October 22 on a lonely spot on Padre island. His wife came to authorities 10 days later and said she killed him. Mrs. Worden said she did so only because her husband had handed her a pistol and told her to kill her five-year-old daughter by a previous mar riage. She and Worden had been wed only two months. The two witnesses told Nueces county sheriff's officers they heard shots near the death site on Oct. 23, the day after Mrs. Worden says she shot and bur ied her husband. His body was found several days later. Johnston said he had not yet obtained the names of the wit nesses and in Corpus Christi it was reported an officer had mis laid the names of the two men, both from Corpus Christi. Free On Bond Mrs. Worden is now free in S5000 bond under a murder charge. Authorities said that when they complete their in vestigations they will present the facts to a grand jury which will decide if they warrant an indictment. Johnston disclosed last night that authorities in Portland, Ore., will be asked to run tests on clothing in a trunk sent by Mrs. Worden to Portland after the shooting. The tests will be to determine if the clothing is blood-stained. . P-l Manager Gives Gloomy Report of Future of Event Portland (U.R) The man ager of Portland's Pacific Inter national Livestock Exposition yesterday said there was no point to continue the PI "mere ly to watch a funeral."

Also addressing the meeting was Eddie Cole, secretary of the International Rodeo Association who said the elimination of a federal income tax on fairs and rodeos had been a great stimu lant.

Agricul tural engineers at. the University of Illinois have some suggestions for those planning to build or remodel a farm home. If possible, build the house at least 100 feet from the road to set a deep lawn, cut down on noise and insure privacy. Bring the driveway 'close to the main entrance of the house and place kitchen windows view of the driveway, entrance from the road and part of the service area. Provide a southern or eastern exposure for the living area and locate bedrooms where they will get the summer wind. Sunshine helps cut down heating costs and projections over the windows will help keep rooms from get ting too much sun in summer.
