If husband and wife rotate in going on and off unemployment compensation, they stay in the jobless figures for months.

Some "unemployed" hardly belong in the figures. South of Wichita, a Boeing aircraft worker had been drawing unemployment for six months. He was pay also operating 220-acre wheat farm and had done well enough, as a renter, to buy a new automobile and tractor in the last year and to vote against the wheat referendum. "I'm not supposed to work on the if I collect compensation," he remarked. "But my 14- year-old son does all the farm work." Such abuses, however, are not the main weakness in the unemployment statistics.

The really crucial weakness is how misleading the label "unemployment" has become. To the genera! public the word "unemployment" still stirs grim memories of the depression. Different Today But it does not take much interviewing at unemployment centers to impress a reporter with how enormously different unemployment is today from the 1930s. My survey shows that with the economy at its present level the bulk of the "unemployed" consists of a number of special problems. Each needs separate diagnosis as to its cause if effective action is to be taken.

Certainly, one should not jumble together the 48-year-old coal miner talked with in Wheeling, W. whose mine was exhausted, with the dress cleaner in New York who blithely remarked, "I like being off a few weeks. It's a good vacation." Again, the same statistical urgency should not be given to youngsters who have never gotten set in the economy and well-paid workers who need only to spread part of their earnings over slack periods for a decent annual wage. Of the construction workers interviewed, about a fifth complained "the season has been slow in starting." But most of the others shared the feeling of a Youngstown, Ohio, carpenter who declared, "I've no unemployment problem. During the summer make $200 a week.

I put a third of it in the bank for the winter when work stops." Retired Workers Still another special problem is posed by retired workers who represented 7 per cent of all the unemployed interviewed in my survey. Some felt, "I'm entitled to 26 weeks' unemployment pay before going Social Security." Others were already NEW MIRACLE FALSE TEETH RELINER WORKS ON NATURAL SUCTION PRINCIPLE, NOT ADHESION ENDS YOUR FALSE TEETH MISERY Amazing new false teeth reliner gives true peace of mind.

After each case separately," 1 estimated that among all the unemployed interviewed in 23 cities, less than half constituted real employment problems. This figure may not be typical of the entire country. Still it is high enough to raise the question as to what the generally phrased term million really means. Nor is this unemployment rate an adequately sensitive measure of the hardship caused by unemployment.

Extra Jobs In seven different cities jobless workers admitted they took "extra" jobs on the side, which went unreported to the tax collector, while drawing unemployment pay. One woman in the Canton, Ohio, center said, "I make $25 a week helping a landscaper. He pays in other ways so I can collect here." Since 1947 the number of married women working has almost doubled. Many of these wives went to work when their husbands were laid off. Among the unemployed who could not go back to their former jobs nearly half showed a second breadwinner in the family.

Looked at as family units, in short, the unemployed seem less hard-pressed than if each jobless person is thought of as the sole breadwinner. NEXT: What to do about unemployment. RITES SET FOR MRS.

Paul, mer director of the Iowa Development Commission in Des Moines. Senate Votes More Aid to Slump Areas WASHINGTON, D. C. (P) -The Senate voted $455 million more funds for depressed areas Wednesday. The vote was 65 to 30.

The measure was backed by 53 Democrats and 12 Republicans. It was opposed by 9 Democrats and 21 Republicans, including Iowa's Bourke Hickenlooper and Jack Miller. House leaders said they will try to use the bill as a vehicle to reverse the 209- 204 rejection of President Kennedy's request two weeks ago. The Senate bill more than doubles the original $394- million authorization voted by Congress two years ago in passing the act to create jobs in economically hard-hit areas. This program, inaugurated by the Kennedy administration.

is designed to create jobs in centers of continuing unemployment by providing loans or grants to help attract new industries. Must Be Idle To be eligible, a community must have a current employment rate of 6 per cent or more. The federal government can pay up to 65 per cent of the cost of a local project. Not less than 10 per cent must come from state or local community and 5 per cent from nongovernment sources. If this bill is approved, Congress would still have to vote the actual funds to make it effective.

In the Senate debate, Democrats said the program has created 70,000 new jobs with another 158,000 in prospect. Call It Unneeded Republicans said the program is unnecessary and political. They said the program has produced only a small number of jobs. Senator John Sherman Cooper Ky.) supported the bill, saying it had reached into hard cores of unemployment in Kentucky. Senate Republican leader Everett Dirksen of Illinois charged that the Area Redevelopment Administration had masterminded a behindthe scenes pressure campaign to get the Senate to vote the additional funds.

Miller Loses Defeated 76 to 17 was an amendment by Senator Miller to broaden the eligibility of rural counties to permit inclusion of those where there has been a substantial decrease in the number of farmers and migration to other sections. Senator Paul Douglas Ill.) said this would add 1,000 farm counties to the 800 now eligible, and make the program unworkable. HEADS SALESMEN PITTSBURGH, PENN. (AP) -Lawrence A. Gode of Mankato, was elected supreme counselor Wednesday at the annual meeting of the United Commercial Travelers of America.

Legal Method The only legal means of presenting a fireworks display is to make a written application to the Des Moines City Clerk (city clerk, town clerk, or township officers elsewhere) for a permit at least seven days before display. You must also show you are competent to supervise such an exhibition. Then the City Council must approve the permit before it can be issued.

"We don't want to spoil everyone's fun," Soderquist said. "We do want to prevent the use of illegal fireworks which could cause loss of an eye or other serious Missouri Senate Backs Care Plan JEFFERSON CITY, MO.

They burn a minute or less which limits their value as safety flares, Soderquist said, and there is considerable danger that a child might set himself or something else on fire with them. He also regards the smoke bombs as potential fire-setters. They give off a rather strong, penetrating odor, too.

Soderquist said salesmen have told retailers the plosive devices are legal. He also said retailers should not be duped into selling a product variously known as "ball caps," "cracker balls," "atoms" and "torpedoes." These are bags of different colored balls, each about the size of a pea. They explode when stepped on. The biggest danger is to small children who may, as they have in the past, mistake them for candy and chew them. Another illegal item that periodically appears is called a "booby trap" or "burglar trap." It is a cap device with strings at both ends.
