NUMBER OF CLAIMS
 INCREASING DAILY
Unemployment Compensa- War Workers, Veterans ton Sought By Former

Unemployed claimants for the week ending May l9 according to the Activity Report released by James J. Graham, Acting Executive Director, Employment Security Di- vision, show an increase of POS in the State of Connecticut over the previous week. The veterans claims during this same period show an increase of 30.
 Taking into consideration that VIE Day has come and gone and the vet erans are now gradually but regu- larly being returned to civilian status, these figures do not indicate any unusual unemployment change.
 Breaking the report up into dis tricts, the greatest increase was re- corded from New Haven, where sos claims were filed against 682 for the previous week. New London had 180 claims against 127, and Hartford showed an increase of only 54. The average size of payment is now &1875.
 MT. Graham stated that as the war production cutbacks begin to be felt, the usefulness of these fig ures is becoming more and more ap- parent.
