who want jobs but can find none. Congress has made special pro- vision for unemployment compen- sation.
 i Of the discharged war workers, an estimated 1,500,00O will lose aheir jobs during the next six 1 months and another 3,000,000 dur l, ing the following half-year. The ] minimum number who will be at least temporarily unemployed by May. 1946, may total 6,500,000.
 Some of the 4,500,000 or more discharged war workers will be able almost to step across the street and go to work again. Others will require various pe- riods of job-hunting ranging from a few days up to weeks or months. Some will have to move from war boom communities, gone flat, to s war-dormant communities that will revive in civilian production. Many, presumably, will return to the old homes they left for war work, where they can live more cheaply between times.
 What are those who do not find new work immediately going to do about money for rent, food, clothing and other basic living items?
 Is a man who has earned un- employment compensation, say in Texas, forced to remain there in idleness so that he can report weekly for benefits, though he thinks there might be a lob in

 Many folks were perturbed re- gently about the $6,300, ,000, 900 that has collected in the Unem- ployment Compensation trust fund. They feared something was wrong because that fund kept increasing all the time. It appeared unbal- anced.
 TO CUSHION FALL
 Well, this. is the crisis against which that fund has been built up. It was laid aside in boom times to provide cushion for de- pression, recession, demobiliza- ton and reconversion.
 Almost every war worker in private industry has a stake in that $500, 100000. If he doesn't find new work at once, he can draw benefits from it for 8 sub- stantial period.
 It is not possible to describe your Unemployment Compensa- tion rights as clearly and con- cisely as your Old Age Insurance rights, because Unemployment Compensation is administered under different laws in AS states, two territories and the District of Columbia.
 But 1t is possible to set forth certain general rules; to describe average" conditions; to state lim- its of deviation from such aver- ages; to explain how and why you can get your benefits without being chained to any particular state-where there is no new job

 What assistance will be given displaced workers in finding new jobs?
 Workers who lose their jobs will be given every pos sible assistance by the United States Employment Service. Increased emphasis will be given by USES in communi- ties throughout the country to job counseling and other personalized services to as- sist job seekers in adapting their wartime experience to peacetime job opportunities. Displaced war workers, many of whom have migrated dur ing the war, will be guided to other communities where civ- ilian production has expand ed.
