Airways Are
Says Lomox

DETROIT, May g. Charging
that large corporations have a
strsngle hold on the sirwsys and
that labor is virtually denied ra-
dio time, Alan Lomsx, we'll
known radio artist, in an article
in the May Ammunition" of
ficial publication of the Educa-
tion Department of the UAW-
CIO, outlines the steps which
unions might take to secure time
on the air.
Lomax points out that "a ra-
dio station is licensed by the
government as an instrument of
the public interest and the pub
lie service. But the National AS
sociation of Broadcasters' code
rules flatly that labor cannot
buy time to present its point OF
view on controversial issues :"
To support his attack on such a
policy, he points to the position
taken against this ruling by
Chairman Fly of the Federal
Communications Commission 49,
who has termed these rulings
"out moded and anti demo
cratic"
Labor has right to the air
waves, Lomsx said, and it
should take vigorous action so
that it will be enabled TO exer-
else that right.

ment that the threatened inter

The jurist pointed out that the

LANSING, May 3 - Prompt
reporting of catches by trout
fishermen will help to assure
continued good fishing, the con-
servation departments fish divi-
sion points out. If all fish
caught are reported promptly,
hatchery workers can better de-
termine the extent of fishing
pressure on trout waters in their
districts, the approximate num-
bers of trout remaining from
previous paintings, and can
schedule additional paintings TO
best assure continued successful
fishing.
Anglers may report their fish
ing experiences to any conServa-
ton officer. Creel census forms
are available for this purpose.
The desired information is date,
place, and time spent fishing,
kind of bait used, number of
legal-size fish caught, number OF
sub-legal fish caught, if any,
and comment on stream and
weather conditions.
There's no risk in revealing
ones favorite fishing spot. The
information is not published.
Small metal tags are affixed
TO Jaws of many planted trout.
One or more fins have been re-
moved from other trout. Fisher
men taking marked trout should
report tag numbers or missing

BUG Gives
Vets Informufion

COLUMBUS, O., May 8-The
Ohio Bureau of Unemployment
Compensation has launched an
intensive campaign to inform
returning Ohio war veterans of
their rights TO state unemploy-
ment compensation while they
seek employment.
The Bureau has mailed, in CO
operation with State Selective
Service headquarters, an infor-
national letter and booklet, en-
titled Information for Work
ers' to every member, reem
ployment committeeman and
clerk of SelectiVe Service Local
Boards in Ohio, BUG Admins
TRAITOR Charles HI. Jones said.
This material explains, he ad
ded, that any veteran of World
War III unable to find employ
ment after his honorable dis
charge may be eligible for state
benefits while he seeks employ
ment, provided he had at least
20 weeks in employment COW
cred by the law during the 10
months prior to his induction Or
the first year after his discharge.
Eligible For Compensation
Veterans, like civilian claim
ants, must be unable to find en-
ployment yet able and willing to
work in order TO qualify for ben
efits, Administrators Jones ex-
planned. However, veterans do
not have to wait the two weeks
required of civilian claimants
before drawing benefits after
they have filed their initial
claims in one of the Bureaus
local offices in the state. They
may draw benefits after their
first full week of unemployment.
Benefit payments in Ohio are
based on a claimants previous
earnings, and may be drawn for
a maximum of 18 weeks.
Local Selective Service Boards
are cooperating in passing this
information on to veterans as
they report to these boards after
their discharges, Mr.. Jones said.
