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.

Witnesses Tell of
Hearing Gunshots '
At Time of Murder
Kingsville, Tex. (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."
PI Manager Walter A. Holt
addressing a meeting here of the
Oregon Fairs Association, said
the exposition posed "a very
unhappy situation," but "might
operate for another year."
Others Optimistic
Holt's gloomy report on the
exposition, which suffered from
decreased attendance "this year,
was the only noh-optimistic note
sounded at the meeting.
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.
Cole described the - modern
rodeo cowboy as a "business
man on a bull's or broncho's
back, often without any cow
poke experience."
Bambi Goes fo Jail,
Then Given Parole
Vinalhaven, Me. (U.R) Po
lice Chief Ray Tibbets locked
up this island's pet deer "Bam
bi" in jail when he became
belligerent.
Tibbets reported today the
deer has been paroled and
apparently aas learned his
lesson.
New Way Found To
Make Strong Metals
Chicago (U.R) The Armour
Research Foundation reports, it
has found a new way to make
light, strong metals.
The foundation, part of the
Illinois Institute of Technology,
calls the new technique "fiber
metallurgy."
The new material can be made
with a wide range of porosities,
combined with relatively high
strength and toughness, he said.
Among the uses of the new
material, Metcalf said, is air
craft construction. Metal fibers
also could be used to strengthen
plastics, he added.

East Lansing, Mich. (U.R)
Michigan State university has
put apple-picking on an assembly
line basis.
Experts claim efficiency is in
creased from five to 10 per cent

the modernized system, picking
crews are divided into three
groups. One of them stands on
the ground and picks all the
apples it can-reach before mov
ing to another tree. .
The second group specializes
in covering a zone from about
six., to 12 feet off the ground by
using six-foot stepladders. The
third squad cleans-up, using tall
ladders , to clamber among the

Engineers Offer Aids
For Building Homes
Urbana, 111. (U.P.) 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.
