USES OFFICE TO GETTHE
TASK OF FILING J0BLESS
COMPENSATION CLAIMS

The job of registering and filling
all claims for unemployment COM
pensation was turned over yester-
day by the local Bureau of Unem-
ployment Compensation (BUC) to
the United States Employment
Service office (USES) here.
The measure is temporary in the
present heavy, emergency load of
claim filing, according to Marcus J.
Kintz, director of the USES here.
Homer Hyer, head of the BUG
office, will become bureau claim
examiner, to check on all unusual
or contested claims, Kintz said
Two other persons of the regular
staff of three become USES work
ers temporarily.
Faced, last Monday, with a ire
mendous load of claim filing caused
by war plant cutbacks and with a
help shortage, the BUG had been
helped by the USES staff and
workers from the War Manpower
Commission to handle the traffic,
Kintz said.
Last Monday, about 5000 Day
ton workers, newly unemployed,
stormed the USES and BUG offices.
The other offices originally were
loaning their staffs until the BUG
staff could be augmented.
The BUG office remains in Day.
ton while it's work is temporarily
shuttled elsewhere, Kintz added.
The Dayton office was one Of four
in the state in which temporary
load of work has made the change
necessary.
Traffic at the USES office was
comparatively light yesterday, but
is expected to increase considerably
next week, Kintz reported.
Yesterday the BUG office issued
list of instructions to unemployed
workers in filing claims for unem-
ployment compensation.
These are some of them:

RATION BOARD TO BE
5LA5HED IN HALF HERE

in I1ALT nIkE
A so per cent reduction in the
Montgomery country war price and
ration boards paid personnel will
be made within the next few days,
John E. Robinson, Jr., director of
the Cincinnati district OPA office,
announced last night.
The local war price and ration
board, located in the municipal
building, employees Is persons.
Robinson said there will be a
larger reduction in the Dayton
staff as it employed more personnel
than the average local board in this
area.
He disclosed there will be third
reduction throughout the Cincin-
natl area of the OPA. Approximate
ly $50 clerks in the district will be
discharged, he said.
Robinson predicted more in the
local board will be shifted to price
control work. Already, 10 clerks
formerly employed in the gasoline
panel of the board have been
switched to price control, Louis
Mahrt, chairman of the board, re-
vealed.
Robinson said reduction of the
local staff will mean less space will
be required by the board in the mu-
nicipal building. Currently, the
OPA occupies space in the base
ment, second, fifth and sixth floors.
The OPA district chief declared
there would be no change in the ad-
ministrative staff of the board. A.
c.. Jones is it's chief clerk.
Robinson's statement was coupled
with an announcement from Cleve-
land that approximately 2,200 en-
ployes working in the CTS ration
boards in a five-state OPA region,
which includes this area, will be dis
missed Sept. 80.
C. j. Hauser, deputy regional
OPA chief, told district directors
the cut would be necessary because
|
of budget reductions resulting from
sharp cutbacks in the rationing
program. All employees to be dis
missed will be notified by Aug. 81,
he said.
Hauser's letter to district direc-
tors indicated that a number of
ration boards would be closed. He
asked directors to advise him which
boards could be combined. He
added, however, that there would
be no mass closing of ration boards

WRITER Says BRITISH TO
START LIQUIDATION
OF THE EMPIRE
By A. J. Siggims

LONDON, Aug. 25 (ANP)-In
one thing \ r. Churchill was right.
He did not preside over the liqui-
dation of the empire" Mr.. Attlee
will do that.
Not only the British empire, but
all the colonial empires are now
hanging like dirty washing on the
clothes-line Of history. They are in
reality just stepping stones for men
to cross from one epoch to another
and history is full of other in
stances.
1t is pity-and a great political
crime that the colonial peoples
were not prepared for this newt
able step. For generations we had
posed as strustees but did nothing
to fit colonial peoples to stand up
themselves. Now they will get an
ephemoral freedom which will de-
moralize them more than their slav-
cry to imperialism.
Col. Stanley's much criticized
Hands Off the Empire: We can
Do it Alone" speech was typical of
the stupid bluffs we intended more
to blind our own countrymen than
others. Every student of world af
fairs know we, as nation, did not
own the wealth of the empire. All
we owned was the responsibility of
defending it and of taxing it's pro-
ducts, like tobacco, etc., when they
came into Britain. We had not the
sense to put an export tax on col
onia products Except the tin and
rubber of Singapore) so as to fill up
some Of the "holes in the ground" F"
We just went on digging and eating
up the wealth of colored peoples in
the tradional British trustee spirit.
We have preached democracy SO
long that now we have to make our
deeds tally with our words: "Our
gallant allies" in Russia and China
will see that we do try to make
democracy work in the empire as
we'll as at home. (If it can work,
which | take leave to doubt, in an
uninstructed world). The wash
ing" will flutter first on the Afri-
can clothes-lines. We made Ethiopia
free, but forgot to covenant the
Ethiopian government to free all
Ethiopians, so we now have to
watch the borders for Ethiopian
slave-traders day and night. "If

WIRING SYSTEM
 DELAYS MOVING

A complete new wiring system is now being installed in the newly &C., quired Veterans Advisory Center to be located in the former Richard Smith homestead corner of Grove street and Central avenue. Atty. Francis Mcdonald, owner of the site has announced that he has let out the contract for the work which will cost approximately i.200.
 Once all renovations are com pleted the site will be occupied by the Veterans Advisory office. the Veterans Administration Bureau and the ofilces of the local draft boards. One other office will be oc- cupied by representative of the Red Cross as an adjunct to the latter,s main quarters on Field street.
 Plans were made at the last meet ing of the general committee to form a non-profit corporation within the committee with all members as members of the board of directors so that the site might be leased for a two year period with an op- tion to renew.
 At present all agencies, with the exception of the Red Cross are To- cated in the City Hall.
 A meeting of the housing com- mittee, a subcommittee of the gen. eral group will be held Monday in the Veterans Advisory office at 5 D. m. to discuss further plans for requirements of the proposed new site.

the air forces personnel, radar has become known as Mickey Mickey is responsible for radar bombings, the most ingenious development of the radar principle in the war thus far.
 Radar bombing was first used by U. s. Army Air Forces in raids on Vienna, Munich and Klagenfurt in October l944. This cat was let out of the bag in dispatches cleared by the 18th Air Force in Italy in Nov ember, when correspondents were permitted to announce that Mickey had been used in bombing raids from that theater.
 LEAD PLANE SETS PACE
 Radar bombing has also been used extensively in the Pacific, particularly on B-29 Superfortress raids against Japan.
 It is not necessary that every plane in 8 raid be equipped with radar apparatus. The lead plane in any formation may be the only one using Mickey, the other planes releasing their bombs when signaled to do so by the command plane, for pattern bombing.
 Radar bombing is not yet suit able for pin-point bombing, and is inferior to visual bombing when di- rect observation of the target is im- possible. The advantage of radar bombing is that 1t can be used when the target is invisible from the bombing plane-at night. or when the target is completely blacked out by heavy clouds, or when it may be partially hidden by light clouds that may form over the target just as the plane is req dy to enter its bombing run.
 Flying over water, ships appear as tiny specks. moving across the radar scope glass as the plane ap- breaches and as the ship itself moves.
 Approaching a sf1orellne, the wa ter will show up light in shading, the land black, as on simple out line map. Rivers, lakes or other large reflecting masses will show on this tiny scope animated map" not more than six inches across.
 As the planes radar picks up the target in the scope, the pilot will set his course for bomb run over the objective.
 The bombardier then focuses the target in the cross hairs at the cen- ter of his bombing scope. Radar then takes over and does everything else. It flies the plane at the tar gt and at the precisely correct hundredth of a second it releases the bombs.
 Marvellous, miraculous, magic Mickey.

 Washington, March 3-U. s. Army and Navy radar operators got in some of the first effective licks with their new super-weapon at ouadal- canal.
 There. in November, l042, while the sea battle for the Solomons was in its final phase, an American ra- dar sent out its radio searchlights invisible beam and, eight miles away. picked up a Jap ship. Big guns on the U. s. battlewagon were elevated and aimed at where the radar said there was target. On the second salvo, the target was hit.
 At Guadalcanal, too, radar oper- ators picked up enemy planes ap- preaching. U. s. planes were sent up to meet them. Radar operators followed the battle in their scopes, saw the planes mixing 1t up, even saw bombs explode. And the operators sat there at their radar Instruments, watching the battle and saying things like Sick 'em Tige-" It was more fun, they said, than any dogfight.
 There are three main types or vadar equipment-surface. air and fire control-and there are a num- Der of varieties of each of the three main types. Equipment in use a year ago is out of date today, so ra- Did is the development of radar science.
 Even if censorship would permit, there would be no use trying to describe all the knobs, switches, panels. tubes transformers and wires that make the thing work, for only a technician can under stand them.
 HOW RADAR WORKS
 The most complete authorized de- scription published during the war appeared recently in the British publication, Wireless World. AS re- printed in part in the U. s. ma sazine Broadcasting. the principle of operation was described as fol- lows
