Ex-Servicemen -Get Jobless Pay A permanent unemploy ment insurance program will give 'coverage soon, to Ore gon ex-servicemen, according to the state upemployment compensation commission. The new program allows a peacetime serviceman who registers for employment to collect jobless benefits while looking for a civilian job. Earlier laws covered only World War II and Korean veterans. A serviceman may receive unemployment compensation if-he has had 90 or more con tinuous days of active service in the Armed Forces, a spokesman said. His service must have begun after Jan. 31, 1955, or active service ended after Oct. 27, 1958. Also, he must have, been dis charged under .conditions other than dishonorable.
