Padgett Pushes For
Unemployment Move
By DON PHILLIPS
ATLANTA (UPI) — State Sen.
Mike Padgett says that if a
subcommittee doesn’t release a
bill eliminating the one - week
waiting period for unemploy
ment benefits, he will try to
bring it out from the Senate
floor.
“If it is not brought out,"
said Sen. Mike Padgett of Mc-
Bean, “I’ll take the will of the
Senate and we’ll count noses.”
It would take a majority vote
of the Senate to bring the bill
out over objections of the Sen
ate Industry and Labor Commit
tee where it has been bottled
up.
An Industry and Labor sub
committee holding hearings on
the measure heard charges
from State Labor Commissioner
Sam Caldwell Tuesday that sev

eral large organizations, includ
ing the State Chamber of
Commerce, had used “every
underhanded method” to kill the
bill, which would allow workers
to collect benefits immediately
if they were laid off or dis
missed through no fault of their
own.
The labor commissioner said
the Georgia Chamber of Com
merce, Associated Indus
tries and textile manufacturers
had “misled and deceived em
ployers throughout this state”
by distributing false informa
tion about the bill.
“They have spent a small for
tune to prevent this bill from
receiving a vote from the full
membership of the General
Assembly,” Caldwell charged.
“And, in their desperation, they
have resorted to every under-
handed method which could pos
sibly be conceived.”
Another witness, W. H. Mon
tague, president of the Georgia
AFL-CIO, told the subcommittee
that unorganized workers ac
tually would oenefit more under
the bill than union workers.
“This is not a bill that has
been drawn by labor unions,”
Montague said. He said the
measure has the full backing of
labor, however.
INSULTE DE GAULLE
PARIS (UPI) — A French
court Tuesday heard arguments

de Gaulle by producing ashtrays
bearing caricatures of him. A

authorities said.
