Carlson (R-Kan.) predict ed that the ways and means com mittee, which includes a number of states rights advocates, would also approve "the George bill or something close to it." Senate Majority Leader Bark ley (6) swung to the Murray-Kilgore side in the closing senate debate, and later made it clear the fight for federal-fixed insur ance payments to displaced workers had not ended. He turned "inadequate" the state - unemployment systems carrying payments of $13 to $22 weekly for temporary idle work ers, adding: "I.hope the house will amend and expand the bill so that it Will provide amply for dealing with the problem of the postwar unemployed, and also that it will be broadened to deal with other phases of reconversion." As passed by the senate, the George measure sets up an office of war mobilization and reconversion headed by a presidentially-appointed director to handle demobilization planning. It also brings an estimated 3, 500,000 federal employes under state unemployment insurance programs at federal expense, and sets up a federal loan fund to guarantee the solvency of the state funds, but leaves full con trol of unemployment insurance rates to the states. The Murray - Kilgore bill would have created more elabor ate reconversion ' machinery, fixed uniform insurance rates as high as $35 weekly, provided for federally - financed vocational training for idle persons and sub stantially boosted mustering out pay and jobless payments to re turning war veterans.
