Claimants Should Consult
Local Offices on Problems.

All adjustments on unemployment
compensation claims now are handled
through state employment service Of
fees, it was announced by the state
unemployment compensation division.
In announcing the revised procedure
Frank T. Starkey, Industrial Commits
sioner in charge of the division, pointed
out that adjustment matters are being
taken over by local offices of the en-
ployment service to assure more prompt
disposition through unemployment
compensation representatives stationed
in the various offices.
The notice of initial determination of
claim is made available to the claim
ant through the employment service Of
flee at which he filed his claim and at
which he reports his continued unem-
ployment. Claimants are urged by Mr..
Starkey to examine their determine
tons carefully and to advise the local
offices Immediately regarding any pos
sible error in the transcripts of their
earnings records.
Commissioner Starkey especially
urged those claimants whose notices of
initial determination are mailed to
them, because they have failed to re-
port at local office regularly, to con-
tact the local office at which they filed
their claims should they have any ques-
tionS concerning their claims.
1.-THE local offices have the complete
records of all claims" Mr.. Starkey
pointed out. Claimants will receive
more prompt attention if they bring all
matters to the attention of local Offices
All communications relative to claims
should be directed to the local Offices"

 Predict Passage
 Administration leaders predicted passage of the appropriation by next week end. Despite minority movements to reduce the amount, to guarantee that every dollar is spent for relief, or to turn the money over to the states for doles, there was no evidence of the vigor- ous economy drive of last summer. Republicans, nevertheless, planned to minimize the alleged political importance of the money in an election year of declining business and increasing unemployment.
