Appeal from a decision of Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board denying unemployment insurance benefits.

Upon these grounds, a forfeiture of 24 effective days was imposed as a penalty in the reduction of claimant’s future rights, and he was charged with an overpayment of $115 in benefits, ruled to be recoverable. The Referee’s findings were afiifmed by the board. The determination was a factual question supported by evidence. Decision affirmed, without costs. Gibson, P.
