.'SALEM, Feb. 3 (P) Employ-
era and labor still wore at op
posite polea of the unemploy
ment legislation picture today,
causing doubt thut the Oregon
legislature would bo able to go
home earlier than usual.
Labor, with AFL and CIO
representatives seeing eye to
eye, offorcd at a senate Indus
tries committeo meeting yester
day to leave unemployment
compenaation laws untouched,
If employers would do likewise.
Halt Sought
But employers insisted they
must ask for a law freezing pay
roll taxes, paid by employers,
at the present rates of 1 to 2.7
per cent of payrolls.
Under existing law, If there
la a drain on tho fund, tho rate
would rango from 1 to 4 per
cent. Employers seek to prevent
application of tho rates above
2.7 per cent.
' Freaslng Aakad
After tho employers gave
their answer ,tho AFL and CIO
laid they would ask that all
rates bo frozen ot 2.7 per cent,
that the waiting period for
benefits be reduced from two
weeks to one week, and that the
benefit period bo Increased from
16 to 20 weeks. Benefits would
remain unchanged at $15 a
week, although tho CIO has a
bill to provide for payments to
dependents of unemployed per
sons.
The system now In effect pro
vides that omployera who have
mall labor turnover and main
tain steady employment pay tho
loweat payroll taxes, or 1 per
cent. Those who have unsicany
payrolls pay tho 2.7 rate, but
their taxes would be boosted to
4 per cent during any serious
unemployment.

"Well, we're In hero, so let's

Tho Jap destroyer was first

The battleship then got the

The American destroyer, al
