In another move 10 thin down
the lines of applicants. Justus
.McCloskey, executive director of
the MUCC. and Roy MacKillican,
director Of the UAW-CIO .unem-
ployment compensation and well
fare department. have worked a
system of giving appointment
cards 10 workers the day they are
laid off.
This system provides that the
local unions shall notify MacKil-
lican as soon as they learn Of
planned lay-off and the MUCC
officials will then dispatch clerks
TO the union local or plant 10 pass
out the cards.
These appointment cards will
set the date at which the claim

office 10 file his claim for jobless
benefits. The date on which he
receives the card will be the date
on which his claim is considered
registered no matter what day
he appears.
PROTESTS USES DEMAND
MacKillican az the same time
registered a protest against the
demand of the MUCC that an ap-
plicant must take any job for
which he is fitted within four
weeks 10 qualify for compenSa-

At the suggestion OF MacKH-

pass out appointment cards to

the practice OF giving these cards
10 those at the end of the line was

Highway. Transit
Projects Delayed
BY JOHN CREECY

The wars abrupt end y has
caught Detroits eXpressway plan
ners with their plans down.
Instead of being ready 10 pro-
vide 1000 TO 5000 jobs during
the reconverSion slump, as the
planners hoped, it will probably
be at least a year before the eX-
pressway projects provide much
work for anybody except lawyers.
The delay means a correspond
ing delay in the DSR's plans for
rapid transit.
Farthest advanced of the seven
eXpresSways under consideration
by the Detroit Transportation
Board is the John c. Lodge, link
ing the north and northwest Sec
tions of the city with downtown.

ACTUAL WORK FAR OFF

1t will be approximately 90
days before condemnation pro-
ceedings can be begun for the
Lodge right of way. il was said
today by Leroy A. Smith, Wayne
County highway engineer
How long the proceedings will
drag in the courts before actual
work can begin is anybodys
guess. A year would be pretty
fast, as such things 60.
The Crosstown tMcGraw-Har-
per) project is second on the
agenda. It is not even as far along
as the Lodge.
Final selection of the Cross

blame and he refuses to pay my
damages on the basis that the acct
dent was partly my fault, what
happens?
A. Under such circumstances you
both must file security with the
Commissioner, Department of Mo-
tor Vehicles in an amount set by
him and then the responsibility for
damages will be worked out either
by negotiation or civil suit just as
it would have been prior to the law,
with the exception that if you can
not post the security with the Com
missioner, licenses will be suspended
until final settlement of agreement
is reached.
4. Q.-You state that the old
Financial Responsibility Law is still
in effect and that the new law is an
amendment to it. What is accomp-
lished by the amendment and why
was it necessary?
A. Experience demonstrated that
the old law had loophole. The in
jured or damaged party was obliged
to obtain a final judgment in the
Courts before it became effective.
When the plaintiff ascertained that
the defendant had no insurance and
wasn't worth anything, he wouldn't
spend more money on court action
merely to remove the defendant
from the roads. In other words, he
wasn't going to throw good money
after bad in order to protect the
public. The present law doesn't wait
for the damaged person to obtain
/ judgment, it becomes effective auto
matically with the accident.

More Questions On New Motor Vehicle
Responsibility Law Answered By Elgin

Commissioner w. Lee Elgin of the
Department of Motor Vehicles states
that questions concerning the new
Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibility
Law are still being received by the
Department in large quantities,
verbally, through the mails, and by
telephone. A few are listed here,
with the correct answers, that may
be of some help to the motoring
public in general.
l. Q-If / have an accident that
is not my fault involving $500 prop
erty damage to another car, must l
post $500 cash with the Commission
er? If | am unable to do so, what
happens?
A. You must post your $500 with
the Commissioner If you do not do
so your license will be suspended
within go days from the date of the
accident.
2. Q.-After an accident occurs,
who decides and fixes the response
bility for the accident?
A. The responsibility for an ac-
cident is not decided by the De
partment of Motor Vehicles Liabil-
! ity for the accident will be decided
by civil suit where you can get
a jury trial if you wish. But, note
that while action is pending, your
license and the automobile tags will
be suspended unless you have com
piled with the law and furnished the
necessary security.

Kenneth c. Mallout, 10, seaman,

port, Md, had chalked up, with
! other creWman of the aircraft car
rier USS HANCOCK, as impressive
a record as just about any ship of
the Fleet, before calling it quits"
in the Pacific and returning to the
States for Navy Day.
Though "FIGHTIN' HANNAH"
looks peaceful enough now at her
moorings in home waters, her APP
| pearance bellies a hectic career of
10 months in the battle zones, dur
ing which her planes destroyed 723
enemy aircraft, IA warships and 81
merchant ships. Her anti-aircraft
guns have 10 "notches" for that
many attacking planes knocked
down.
Commissioned in April, 1914, the
HANCOCK wasn't ready to join the
Bird Fleet until October, 1914, but
from that day, she left the Japs
Keeling from Wake Island to Hok-
kaido. Included in her fighting timer
airy were Okinawa, Formosa, Luzon,
Two Jima, Tokyo, Honshu, Kyushu,
Hokkaido, Leyte, Hong Kong, and
Kobe Harbor.
Her record is the more impressive
because she had been twice knocked
out of action, but only temporarily.
She continued operations after the
| end of hostilities, covering occupa-
ton troops. Her last mission was to
drop food and supplies to Americans
in prisoner-of-war camps.
