CLAIMS OF JOBLESS
HIT RECORD I
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 (B
Unemployment compensation
claims hit the highest mark in
history last week 596,458 ini
tial claims Chairman Arthur J.
Altmeyer of the social security
board told the senate finance
committee today;
That was more than 50 per
cent higher than in any previous
week since the war began, he
testified, and about 11 times the
number received in the various
states for the week prior to
Japan's surrender.
Altmeyer told the committee
he is "100 per cent in favor of
the objectives" of the legislation
it is considering to bring the
paymenjs to jobless up to a na
tional maximum of $25 a week
for 26 weeks through additional
federal grants.
Altmeyer told the senators
that unemployment compensa
tion claims of all kinds, includ
ing waiting period and compen
sable claims, reached a total of
960,913 last week, or three times
as high as the total for the week
ending August 11.
Reconversion Director John

"The war isn't over yet," said
Earl Reynolds, western division
assistant manager for the United
States chamber of commerce, in
a talk to the Kiwanis club today.
Reynolds, former Klamath
chamber of commerce secretary,
pointed out that large numbers
of men will be held in the armed
services for a long time and
there will be many other war
time conditions that will change
slowly to peacetime status. . .
He cautioned business men
against joining in a demand for
too deep a cut in taxes, pointing
out that there is a huge national
debt that must be paid and that
it is better to pay high taxes in
a period of high prices. He urged
continuation of government bond
purchases to ward off inflation.
Reynolds pointed . to various
factors which he said would tend
to prevent an immediate unem
ployment problem. He said he
believes President Truman will
favor a policy that permits pri
vate enterprise to meet the em
ployment problem if at all pos
sible. Reynolds was introduced by
Percy Murray.

Sweetest Music
MacArthur called the cheers

"the sweetest music I ever

"From Melbourne to Tokyo

said before leaving for Yoko

"It has been a long hard road.
But this looks like the pay-off.
"The surrender plans are go

Jap Appearances
"The Japs seem to be offering

is every hope for success in the

Admiral Nimitz, who watched
