Washington, Sept. 21. Given the severest Senate rebuff since he took officc, President Truman may be in for even rougher treatment in the House on the jssue of aid to the jobless. Mr.

proposal for broad expansion of unemployment compensation uas tossed over to the House after the Senate turned thumbs down on a large part of the Administration program. The chamber did, however, agree to extend unemployment benefits to a maximum of 26 weeks at Federal expense and to pay travel expenses for displaced war workers. Senator Wagner, Democrat, New York, said the bill, passed by vote in the Senate yesterday, is greatly ''watered from urgent presidential recommendations. Administration trouble- were multiplied in the House, a- leaning members of the ways and means committee declared the legislation, as proposed' by the President, would idleness." The Senate rejected Mr. proposal that Congress provide benefits up to $25 a week by supplementing jobless programs administered by the States.

This action left payments at the State rates, from $15 to $28. 7'he bill as passed by the Senate provides for: 1. Payments to jobless for 26 weeks, with the Federal Government taking over after the duration of payments expired. 2. Unemployment compensation protection for some 2,900,000 Federal civilian workers and 400,000 maritime workers.

Payments to these persons who lose their jobs would he at levels of the State where the employes worked. 3. Travel allowances to permit former war workers to go home or to a new job. A $200 limit is put on the amount for one worker and his family. 4.

Supreme Court Is Enlarged Friday Austin, Texas, Sept. 21. The Texas Supreme Court today will increase in membership from three to nine justices. Six present members of the appointive commission of appeals, who have had no vote in decisions, will be formally elevated to full associate justiceships. The elevation was authorized by the voters who approved a constitutional amendment providing for the nine-judge court at a special election Aug.

25. The resolution increasing the court's membership was approved by the 49th Legislature. Not since it became Texas had a nine-judge court. Under the Repubic, the personnel of the supreme Court was made up of the judges of the eight district courts and the chief justice. When Texas became a state the; court had two associate justices chief justice From 1866 to 1869 and from 1873 to 1876.

Hughes, 69, who was killed in an accident on the Luther Rummel farm in the Hinds community Thursday morning, are incom- which range plcte, pending the arrival of tiv es. Mr.

At a meeting in the Chamber of Commerce offices Thursday the organization's highway committee voted to submit to the Highway Department an improvement project which would include widening I of the Pease River bridge on 283, an underpass at the I intersection of the railroads on Main Street and idening of South 1 Main Street paving. Details will be worked out with the district office of the Highway Department in the near future with a view of submitting it an early date for the consideration of the Highway Commission. Decision to submit this project is in line with announced plans of the Highway Department and the United States Bureau of Roads to improve trunk line highways through towns and cities with a view of facilitating the movement of traffic. Several years ago a policy of by-passing towns and cities was followed but the post-war program this will be abandoned in favor of the de- velopment of super-highways load- ing through towns and cities, rather than around them, according to highway officials. The railroad crossings on Main Street are the oniv remaining i grade crossings on a state or national highway in Wilbarger County and the construction of an 1U underpass would eliminate a serious traffic hazard on one of the most important arteries of travel in the county.

No estimate of cost has been made but the entire project would call for the expenditure of several hundred thousand dollars, to be furnished for the most part from Federal and State funds Some local financing will be necessary, but the amount cannot In determined until all engineering details of the project can be worked out.
