BENEFIT CLAIMS
FOR UNEMPLOYED
DOWN 37 PER CENT
.John T. McLaughlin, director of
unemployment insurance, employ
ment security commission, reported
today that new claims received
and the number of benefit checks
issued during the first three months
this year have taken a decided
drop.
There were 3,184 beneficiaries
newly unemployed who drew at
least one benefit, check this last
quarter, compared with 6,006 last
jeer, a decline of 37 percent. De
pendants' allowances for the same
period dropped from $103,000 to
($61,600, a total of 40 per cent.
“The figures for the month of
March are more significant," Mc
Laughlin said. “First payments for
March last year were only one per
cent under the preceding month,
while in March this year they were
40 per cent less than February.
"First payments’ last month were
only 764 as compared with 1,672
in March I960."
The legislature enacted into law
an increase in the weekly unem
ployment Insurance amount from
$25 to $30 maximum, but this in
crease is not effective until July
1. Dependants' allowances are pay
able to unemployed Alaska workers
who have dependants residing in
the territory. An Increase of basic
benefits is awarded on the busls of
20 per cent of the benefit amount
for each dependant with a maxi
mum of three dependents. Thus,
an Alaska worker temporarily un
employed, who has sufficient pre
vious earnings to be entitled to
the maximum, and Who has three
dependents, would receive $48 per
week in total benefits for u maxi
mum duration of 25 weeks provi
ded he were eligible in all respects
?uch week.

MacArthur were alone in a confer
ence.
Mr. Truman wouldn't comment
on whether there was an apoligy,
but said he might have documented
an account himself. But, he told
reporters, he wanted to emphasize
that he might have.
"Did MacArthur apologize to
you?" a reporter asked.
Mr. Truman smiled and said he
would not answer a question like
that.
As for the controversy, the Presi
dent said that a great deal of mater
ial will come out at Senate com
mittee hearings.
As to whether these hearings
should be held behind closed doors
or open to the public. Mr. Truman
said that’s the Senate’s business.
THIRD WAR
IS UP TO
RUSSIANS
Truman Reiterates Charge
Made April 11-Satis
fied with Acheson
—
WASHINGTON, April 26 ——
President Truman said today it is
up to Russia whether the war in
Korea spreads.
He told a news conference that
American foreign policy was out
lined in his radio speech to the Na
tion April 11.
Mr. Truman said, too, that he is
very well satisfied with Secretary
of State Acheson.
Mr. Truman’s April 11 speech was
the one in which he gave the rea
sons why he said he felt impelled
to remove Gen. Douglas MacArthur
from his Far Eastern commands.
The President said then that Mac
Arthur wanted to spread the war
beyond Korea, but that the Truman
administration policy is to seek to
confine it there and avoid a great
war.
In that speech, Mr. Truman also
said "the Communist side must now
choose its course of action.”
Similarly, Mr. Truman told to
day's news conference that the
Communists may act to spread the
conflict, but that they have the !
choice of a peaceful settlement.
Acheson is O. K.
•Mr. Truman’s expression of satis
faction with Secretary Acheson
the chief architect of American
policy in Korea — came when he
was asked whether he was consid
ering naming Paul Hoffman, former
ECA administrator, to replace
Acheson.
He said he was not — that he had
a secretary of state and was well
satisfied with him.
The question was prompted by
published reports that Mr. Truman
was sounding out Hoffman on tak
ing the cabinet post.

THESE DAYS
By GEORGE E. SO iOLSKY
The Issue is Acheson
Now that General Douglas Mac
Arthur has had his week and the
country has burst its bounds of
anger and enthusiasm, it becomes
clear that politically the quarrel is
over Dean Acheson. President Tru
man has indicated beyond doubt
that he has confidence in and
supports Dean Acheson. The Re
publicans will continue their op
position to Dean Acheson and will
make such an issue of him that his
conduct of the State Department
will be before the people from now
until after the election of 1952.
General Douglas MacArthur’s dis
missal has proved to have been a
political errer on the part of Pres
ident Truman. The brusque m; thoa
did not go with the country. After
all. General MacArthur has been
in theservice of his country 52
years and to the public he is a
hero. Even these who disagreed
with MacArthur’s ideas or his con
duct felt that the President might
have employed some other methi d
than a disgraceful dismissal.
A President’s work is so arduous,
his responsibilities so great that
he toe soon becomes a prisoner in
the hands cf those whom he hires
to assist and protect him. Mr. Tru
man could have been toll by h:-:
associates that popular opinion has
been growing increasingly irritable
over the numerous failures of our
foreign policy. The country is
shocked by our isolation. The ma
chinations of Great Britain have
[stunned the use ■’<>.
I cm not discussing whether
Dean Acheson or the British or
Herbert Hoover or Senator Wherry
is correct; I in trying to appraise
public opinion, and I am sure tiiat
the enormous mail I have received
during the past fortnight is public
opinion. Fur while there is disa
greement and confusion, there ;■
also surprise and shock. India’s at
titude toward the United States,
l
Iran's altitude toward the United
aretes, and that u.nv’hyly un
friendly speech of Lester P-tri. on,
Canada's Secretary for Externa!
Affairs, have made many who tv
thought well of AchescnV d.:i.
wonder at our stark i. .'lotion.
.Tne presence of General MacAr
thur in this country make
situation more difficult for IX-.t.i
Acheron. No man in ; a.!
Slates possesses a more dc die.!
knowledge of the Far Ea: t. K may
even tellrf his basic qur . . with
the State Department o.■ at
tempt to load his a . a; .n
with pre-Russian Conui. . ml
left-wingers. There is an in, . • .
ins story in MacArthu: . vie
with Dean Acheron which has
lasted as lor:;.; a., t: . two men red
each other officially.
It is one of those fortuitous cir
cumstances of p lilies that ;i .
army officer who re: : vd G :■
ttccArthur when he . it: u
American soil was General Alb::.
Wedemeyor, one of the most bril
liant minds ill our arm: d -
and a great authority on i.u l. -
ern affairs. He, too, taut?} a w:-ii
Dean Acheron on the far east and
Acheron won the or: ument. Al
though Wedcme;, er’a u:.eiuinc.« t
the joint chiefs of si iff at One
time is beyond doubt, he has been
situated at San I-'rancisco n a
housekeeping job.
It is impossible to investigate
the MacArthur diumi: ,?.i ana
events ihat led to it without in
vestigating the suppression of the
Wedemeyer reports on China r.n.1
Korea. Ncr will it hr pn w:ole to
avoid a study of Ache a s upper la
ments, which he does not regard
appeasements but as technical ne
gotiations. Acheron's speech to the
newspaper women in V.'ashin. ‘.cm
did not establish his dc, ial ct ap
peasement—which krs, since Mu
nich, become an effenrhe vri.
The fact that he cnese to speak
cn the far east the ni :ht before
General MacArthur's speech to
Congress, after a silence since
November, indicated to many that
Achcson realises what he laces.
