...Building Sentiment. The sudden surge of joblessness has swamped unemployment offices. Out-of-work people have to stand for hours in long lines in dreary surroundings and be subjected to snappish treatment by overworked clerks. Worse, because of the heavy work load in the offices, the checks on which the jobless depend are either not ready when they appear at the office or are late in arriving in the mail. In Georgia, for instance, benefit applications early this month were running at 96,000 a week, v. 19,000 last year, and checks for some people were still arriving...
...Sentiment is building in Congress to bring some kind of order to the system's crazy-quilt pattern and at the same tune increase payments. At present, benefits vary widely from state to state. The highest weekly maximum, $156 (with dependents), is made in Connecticut; the lowest, $60, in Mississippi. Of course, many people receive less than those maximums. The Administration has now called on all states to pay an amount equal to at least half a worker's average weekly take-home pay-up to a maximum of two-thirds of the average salary paid...

Furthermore the jury dealt with...
...week, however, the Congregation voted to extend it to all Jesuit priests. (Nonordained Jesuit brothers would still be excluded, as they now are.) This not only ignored Cardinal Villot's warning but set up a major confrontation with the papacy-even though the vote was a test of sentiment, not a final action...
...intense is antijunta sentiment that demonstrations calling for execution of "the six" are now almost a daily occurrence. But however shrill the public clamor may become, the Caramanlis government is determined to resist anything resembling a Jacobean bloodletting. Says Press Minister Panayiotis Lambrias: "Perhaps it is a natural phenomenon. We saw it in France after the second world war. We saw it in Germany . . . But we have to respect the rules of democracy. When there are arrests, they must be legal." Lambrias has ample reason to understand the appeal as well as the danger of wholesale reprisals. A former journalist...
