two-hour schedule.
Miss Hayward enacting the
role of murderess Barbara Gra
ham in "I Want To Live!" got
the nod on a performance so real

She added that It was the "most
nervous day 1 have ever spent in
my life."
Niven won the top actor award
for playing a pathetic woman
tnolester in "Separate Tables." It
was one of the few times in his
career that he did not play what
the tr"de calls "a David Niven
type."
Nwi! said: "Dammit, I must
say I wanted to win and I'm hap
py I did.
He said he couldn't relax either

Senate Labor
Indicates Tax
SALEM (AP) The Senate La-I
bor and Industries Committee in
dicated Monday it would propose
only a slight increase in unem
ployment compensation taxes for
employers. ,
The committer, which plans to
take final action today, appeared
to favor a bill by Sen. Carl franc-is
(R-Dayton) that would tax the
first $3,800 of a worker s wage or
salary only until the unemploy
ment trust fund gets bunt up to
six per cent of the total payrolls
in the state. This figure, under
current economic conditions,
would be about 63 million dollars.
When the fund reaches that
point, then only the first $3,600
would be taxed.
The present law taxes only the
first $3,600. The Unemployment
Compensation Commission's ad
visory Council recommended that
the first $4,200 be taxed.
The tax rate would be 2.7 per
cent of payrolls until the fund
reaches the 51 million dollar
mark. Then there would be a
sliding scale of rates ranging
from 1.3 to 2.7 per cent. Employ
ers who maintain stable employ
ment would benefit by the lower
rates.
The rate now is 2.7 per cent.
Before a year ago, it varied from
.3 of 1 per cent to 2.7 per cent,
but all employers were forced to
pay 2.7 per cent when the fund
fell below the 31 million dollar
"floor." This , occurred April 1
1958.
The committee feels that the
fund eventually will be built up
by keeping the 2.7 rate in effect.
The fund, now totaling 17 million

dollars, totaled 85 million 10 years
ago.
The committee delayed action
on bills to tighten up on qualm
cations for jobless benefits. These
bills also will stop the drain on
the fund.
It approved a bill to permit the
governor to borrow federal funds
when the fund shrinks to a dan
gerously low level. Ex-Gov. Rob
ert D. Holmes tried to borrow 14
million dollars of federal money
a year ago, but was blocked by
an attorney general's opinion that
he could not do so under existing
law.
The committee tabled the pro
posed payroll decline system, un
der which employers with stable
employment would get credits
against future taxes. The same
result, however, is accomplished
by adopting the merit rating
scale of 1.3 to 2.7 per cent.
The committee voted to dis
qualify women who become prcg
nant and who leave work, from
the dale she leaves work until
six weeks after her baby is born.
Under present law, a woman can
quit work prior to her expected
confinement and draw benefits up
to six weeks before the baby is
born.
