Thta southern Arkansas town felt the fuU goodness of unemployment insurance at a time when the town's economic structure was threatened with the destruction of the main power plant Hf Ihe Bradley Lumber Company by winds January 3. With the re-opening of the company's plant last week, it can now be told how unemployment Insurance payments to the lumber thrown out of work through no fault of their own, saved they day for Warren. The city officials were quick to admit that withou the benefit payments, the city woulc have faced certain economic disaster. During Lhc period from Jnnuarj 10 to May 23.

1,190 workers re celved a total amount of in unemployment Insurance fron the Arkansas Employment Secur ity Division. Those payments wen largely into the cash registers Warren retail stores th needs of the community, or wer used to pay rent and other neees sities of life. Community Hard Hit Elton Gray, secretary-manager the warren Chamber of Commerce pointed out that 'the unemployment payments brought a measure of sec uriiy to the unemployed people Warren and vicinity when the needed it most and it brought cas business to the community when was necessary for the maintanc of our welfare in general, Withou It we do not know what we woul have done." He was quick to assert that wit the unemployment Insurance pay mcnts to Warren workers, the fere able to bridge the gap 'an employment without sufferii It was definitely a mal erial contribution In the stabilization of the economy of our community, he added. R. W- Fullerton, president of the Bradley Lumber Company, stated: "At the time of the tornado company employed approximately J.GOO people.

Through the company's excellent record of continmus operation for long hours, a large credit was built up by the company's contributions for the benefit of the employees. "Because of this credit, approximately 600 of our employees, who were not re-employed In the rehabilitation of our plant, were enabled to draw unemployment in- surflnce benefits. "The Emptoyment Security Division is to be commended for this manner In which it distributed this fund. "The company Is now in partial operation and the payroll today shows 619 persons employed."

While the civilian housing situation in the U.S. has eased slightly since the war, the military housing problem, both At hnme and abroad, has gotten much worse.

Military families aren't the best tenants. They shift around so much. As result, landlords offer them only second-rate houses at sky-high prices. The situation overseas Is wor.se. All of the bases which had family housing before the war have been expanded.

And practically all ol the wartime bases which have now made permanent have only the crudest kind of quarters or wives and children.

Now, however, Secretary Defense Johnson Is askin Congress for $152,100,000 for th construction of 7500 homes for th families of servicemen. This sun Johnson says, "would meet only fraction of the actual needs" bi would be a good start. The houses Johnson wants build are about as good as the avei age home now selling for $10.000 $15.000.

A typical unit calls for thn bedrooms, a basement, hardwood floors, and generally substantial construction. Not more than $16.500 may be spent for one unit. Up to twice that much may be spent for a single unit nulll overseas because of the increased cost of shipping materials and labor. The proposed bill specifies that all houses must be the "row" type seen in many new developments, Army engineers hope that this may be modified to permit building some individual units which provide the same living facilities under the me price ceiling.
