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 signiffeant,” Me- Laughlin said. “Pirst 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 1950." ‘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.

Mr. Truman on whether there was an apoligy, but said he might have documented reporters, he wanted to emphasize that he might have. “Did MacArthur apologize to you?” a reporter asked. that, ial will come out at Senate com- mittee hearings.

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 Communists may act to spread the conflict, but that they have the choice of a peaceful settlement. s 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. REBEKAHS OBSERVE 139TH BIRTHDAY OF 0DD.
