them into the diplomatic waiting

precisely the right moment-into the

.J0BLESS BENEFIT
COMMISSION SET
TO AID VETERANS

RALEIGH Sept. 2.-IR-After a
period of dwindling claim loads
and a 'hold-the-fort-a sainst-the-
future" campaign, North Carolina S
unemployment compensation COM
mission prepared today to assume
administrator of two highly-sear-
ed programs for returning service
men.
The UCC, headed by Maj. A. L.
Fletcher, himself veteran OF the
current war, has been designated
by the veterans administration to
handle the &C. l. bibll Of rights
program for unemployed veterans.
First claims under this federal pro-
gram will be accepted beginning
Monday.
In addition, the state agency will
handle North Cardinals own IN
employment benefit program. for
which an estimated 100000 Tar
Heels now in the armed forces will
be eligible upon discharge.
Under present plans, both pro-
grams will be syncronized as to
procedural details, and highly
trained staff of interviewers and
claims takers have been stationed
in branch offices throughout the
state. The UCC's surplus fund to
back its program now approximate
ed 500, 000,000
The two programs, both geared
to the veterans wants and needs,
are similar in many respects. For
instance:
The weekly readjustment allow
ance provided in the G. I. bill is
$40, to run for a period determined
by each veterans length of serv-
ice, up to a total of So weeks in
two years.
In the states program, benefits
vary in accordance with previous
earnings, with a maximum of SIS
week, and a maximum duration
of 16 weeks in year. Thus, it is
possible for a number of veterans
70 be in a position to draw state
benefits after exhausting the fed
Ral allowances.
However, here's the catch: The
present state law stipulates that if
veterans are receiving payments
from unemployment from the
United States government, state
benefits are not to become payable
until after all rights Of the federal
government have been exhausted.
: On the other hand, clause in
the G.. l. bill provides that if the
vetefan received either unemploy-
ment or disability compensation
either federal or state-for any
week, his allowance will be reduc-
ed by the amount of such com
pensation.

the time of the hemorrhage until

to slip away, his breath coming
gradually shorter"
Mrs. Norris, the physician ad-
ded, apparently had been resigned
to he- loss and was taken it very
fine"
Norris had rallied the day after
the hemorrhage and was given a
good chance" to recover. But
there after he weakened steadily
and had to be nourished by in
travenous injections.

known as an insurgent because Of
his disregard for party lines in
fighting for his beliefs, had only
recently accepted the honorary
craftsmanship of the National Citi-

do as much as 1 can"
He recently had declared it
would be a tragedy" if President
Roosevelt were denied a fourth
term.
An independent since breaking
with the republican party in 1922,
Norris had lived in relative quiet
here since "the people I love"
rejected his 1912 bid for a sixth
term in the senate. But on sew
eral occasions he reaffirmed ais
belief in liberalism and in Presi-
dent Roosevelt, whose foreign and
war policies he had supported
consistently.
Before suffering the hemorrhage
Norris had appeared at some pub.
lie functions and was normally ac-
tive. But on his 83rd birthday July
II he said Il neve. expected to
live this long; this birthday only
means that it is getting closer to
