Marion County, under the plan finally adopted, would receive $308,538 in State funds next year as compared to $342,510 under the old House plan and $289,380 under the Senate amendment. Permanent legislation on this matter is expected to be worked out by the regular session. :

Protests Job Aid Change

Protests by Republican Senators against passage of the Unemployment Compensation Act amendment under suspension of the rules dealt chiefly with the fact that businessmen, who would be called upon to pay the cost of the change, had not been given an opportunity to be heard on this bill. The bill would eliminate the provision which requires a worker to have earned $10 since April 1, 1938, to be eligible for unemployment

benefits.

Senator Jenner and other Republicans repeated these charges during debate on the resolution praising Governor Townsend's policies. “This resolution is timely,” Senator Jenner said, “since is’ was de-
