Unemployment Claims Over 100,000 In State

By SCOTT R. BCHMEDEL United Press Staff Correspondent INDIANAPOLIS <UP> —Take a! pencil and draw a Jine gradually | rising from horizontal, the way an > ; airplane takes off. Then break the .course of that | i line abruptly and turn it to the ' perpendicular, the way an ICBM ; shoots straight up from its rocket; launching pad. | There you have a rough graph j picturing the way unemployment' in Indiana has ioomed to more 1 than 100,000 since last October. Claims for unemployment compensation were slightly above 1100,000 during the first two weeks in February. I This doesn't account for Hooj siers who exhausted their eligibil- ! ity for state benefits. Last year 137.2 per cent of all beneficiaries j exhausted their benefits, and in 11954 the figure reached 41.9 per cent. Nor does the total include those: employed for short weeks or not covered by unemployment insurance. Tft 1957 about 1,415,000 were’ ; employed in non-agricultural jobs lin Indiana About 1,100,000 were ■ eligible for benefits. Highest Since 1946 But compensation claims figures I compiled by the Indiana Employ- ; ment Security Division are prob- ■ ably the best indication of what s jgoing on. ' i They show claims of 30.000 i early last October. 68,000 by Jan. 14. and 92.000 a week later. A January IESD bulletin Com-1 pared the current unemployment > situation with that iof 19531954, the j ’ highest unemployment peak on ri*- ■ cent Indiana charts. The greatest ' number of claims filed in one: i week then was - 85.900 in March, 1954. | The 100.311 claims registered two weeks ago was the highest { since returning veterans boosted the one-week record to 119.100 in March. 1946. — ■ _- -d That the present peak of unemployment is much higher than the usual seasonal mark is shown by an index set up by Dwight Kelley. .lESD's chief of research. > For the five-year period 1952 ! through 1956, the chart shows the : greatest number of Hoosiers were j working through the summer j months and into the fall. Unem-j ployment compensation claims in- > creased in November, reached the j top in January, then trailed off as spring arrived. Mass Production Hit But- average.. . monthly claims claims' duping those, five Jgnuaries ! totaled 42.920. well under half the 1 i present peak. July, produced the 4 lowest- average for claims, ,-31,169, “The chief cause of seasonal! variation.' Kelley said, is the change in the weather Outdoor, activity, principally construction, j is reduced in the cold months. Kelley' said mass production in-; I'dustries are hardest hit by the current unemployment situation, ; particularly metals. As a whole, the percentage of ■ eligible workers receiving com-J ipensation throughout the state] was 6.8 by Jan. £5. Kelley said, [an appreciable increase over the ;5.9 per cent recorded during the ■ j same week in 1954. Similar co’mparisons show the. problem is general everywhere in . Indiana In tht South Bend area, where the siaiation was —described by

Kelley as "very bad,” 13.6 per j cent of those eligible were draw- ; ing state relief, compared with 9.8 in 1954. The problem is constantly "getting worse" in Evansville, Kelley i.said, where 8.1 per cent claimed benefits, compared with 5.7 in [1954 New Albany-Jeff High In Terre Haute, the percentage lof 7.5 was about even with 1954’s j 7.6. I "The smaller figure of 5 per cent in the Calumet area still represented a large increase." Kelley pointed out, "because this area has been very prosperous and has had a low rate of unemployment in the past.” "The very high rate of 15.7 in the New Albany - Jeffersonville area < compared with 13.8 in 1954' didnt even include those from Kentucky who depend on that area for work,” Kelley noted. >» ! "Indianapolis was fortunate to have the lowest percentage of the I areas on our list, ’ Kelley said. "There 3.9 of every 100 eligible workers got benefits. But that is } partly because of the large vari- ! ety in the labor force. There is j considerable non - manufacturing | and more stable employ rhent in the city." Special Services At Zion Lutheran Six forty-five and 8 o’clock are ! the hours for special Lenten serj vices Wednesday evening at Lutheran Church, West Monroe and Eleventh streets. “Our Redeemer Forsaken" will be the pulpit message of the pastor, the Rev. ! Edgar P. Schmidt, who is preaching a series of sermons during the six weeks of Lent on the general theme, "Our Suffering Redeem- ■ er,” and drawing on scenes from the history of the passion and death of Jesus Christ. At the Wednesday evening services this \Vee.k, the primary choir, under the direction of Mrs. Louis Zwick, will sing at the early vesper while the men's chorus, led by Karl ; Reinking, will appear at the later hour. i “It is hoped," stated Rev. Schm- ! idt, "that the 7 earlier hour, 6:45 ! and 8 o'clock, will appeal to families with children. The first ves- > per is intended as a family service. The services do not exceed minutes in length/". An invitfttJOß 7Ts“ eirtend^'to-A6e ridh-churchea public.

Congressman Adair Asks Renomination Seeks Reelection nl Fourth District WASHINGTON - U. S. Rep. E. Rosa Adair of Port Wayne Monday announced his candidacy for re-election to Congress. The fourth district Republican joined with the other eight Republicans in Congress from Indiana in handing his declaration of candidacy to postmaster general Arthur Summerifeld who will mail them all out. Adair is filing declarations with the clerk of the Allen circuit court and the secretary of state. The first official filing date in Indiana for the May 6 primary election is Feb. 25. In seeking his fifth two-year term in Congress, Adair said he was asking the support of voters in the eight counties of the fourth district on the basis of his “record of service to the state and the nation'’ since first being elected to Congress in 1950. Adair said that he had opposed the foreign aid programs, worked for government economy and a balanced budget, sought to eliminate waste and extravagance, supported a sound and fair tax policy, voted against federal usurpation of local government powers, and endeavored to eliminate I subversive elements in the nation during his four terms in Congress. He pointed out that the “overwhelming issue today is to keep the nation and the world at peace, while at the same time providing for a strong domestic economy and essential military preparedness.” Asserting his continued efforts to "achieve these objectives.” Congressman Adair said that he hopes to gain another "strong vote of confindence” from the district in his campaign for the Republican in the May 6 primary. ; Lenten Service At Reformed Church The second mid-week Lenten service will be held in the Zion Evangelical and Reformed church, Third and Jackson streets, Wednesday evening at 7:30 o'clock.
