Unemployment compensation
will fill the gap between war
jobs and peace jobs on an in
creasing scale until that time
after vi Day when reconver-
sion has been completed. The un-
employment compensation pro-
gram is uniquely fitted for this
role--it is designed to provide d
partial income for covered work
ers during periods of temporary
unemployment.
For many workers, the filing
of claim for unemployment
compensation will be a new ex-
perience. Their knowledge of
the procedure for filing, at the
best, is of a general nature only;
they know nothing, with rare
exception, of how a claim is pro-
cessed by the Bureau and the
benefit checks finally mailed.
This illustrated article is in
tended to aid public understand
ing of the procedure followed in
the filing and processing of the
ordinary, regular claim for bene-
fits.
Step No. When a worker
becomes unemployed and is un-
able to find another job, he
should go to his nearest local
office of the Ohio Bureau of Un-
employment Compensate or
United States Employment Serv-
ice and file a claim for unem-
ployment compensation. Here he
will be-
interviewed by a claims -taker
and asked, among. other things,
to give his name, address, Social
Security number, name of most
recent employer, and cause for
unemployment
This information is entered on
a form known as "401", which is
simply an application to deter
mine benefits rights, The "401"
is sent to the Central Office of
the BUG at Columbus, where the
claim will be processed.
The claimant is given an iden-
tification card, known as the

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Four
hundred thousand German and
Italian prisoners of war have
been held in this country to
work on military, naval, indus
trial and agricultural projects,
according to Under Secretary
of War Robert p. Patterson in

first full-time executive secre-
tary of the CIO Council who
also had the distinction of being
the first full time Council Sec
retary in the United States.
Services were conducted by
Rev. Harold l.. Davis with whom
Mr.. Cole was associated for
years on the executive board of
the Old Newsboys Goodfellow
Association. Mr.. Davis paid
eloquent tribute to his friend
and spoke of the great loss which
his death means to all who knew
him.

Flying Squadrons of WHY'S

the brief services and stood with
barred heads while the coffin
was born from the mortuary to
the hearse.
Active pallbearers were Muir

Michael Smith, Clarence Fore
man, James Cook, Lawrence
Dudley and Thomas ussell.
Burial was in Forest Gene
terry.
Mr., Coles death followed a
second operation which he had
undergone several weeks ago.
He was operated on slightly
more than one year ago and had
recovered sufficiently to return
to his post with the UAW-CIO
in Washington, where he was
employed as a liason man for
the Union.
Aided Public Understanding
AS executive secretary of the
Toledo Industrial Union Coun-
Gil, Mr.. Cole did much to bring
about clearer understanding
of the CIO to the citizens of To-
ledo. When the war came, he
was granted a leave of absence
to take up duties in Washing
ton. Each year he has been re-
elected and his leave extended
until the end of the war when it
was hoped he would return to
his former position as Council
secretary.
Mr. Cole had been in poor
health for the past two years,
but he stuck to his Washington
post until he collapsed just prior

good to you. So does it to the
doctors in the Physicians Forum
(national office of $40 Madison
Avenue, New York %, N. "
which is made up of forward
thinking physicians throughout
the country who have long been
aware that a large part of our
population does not get ade-
quate medical care because they
cannot afford it. They know,
too, that the doctors of this
country also stand to benefit by
the health insurance provisions
Of the bill, for they will be as
sured a regular income from
their practice which many have
not enjoyed in the past.
The Physicians Forum is plan
ming a very active campaign to
secure passage of the Wagner
Murray-Dingell bill and will do
its utmost to cooperate with all
interested groups. They have
already prepared the first of a
series of popular pamphlets en-
titled 'For the Peoples Health, ;"
which will be available to all
organizations interested in the
passage of this bill. Pamphlet
Press, division of Reynal and
Hitchcock, prepared this PAM
phlet and it was illustrated by
Crockett johnson well-known ar
tist who draws the Barnaby
comic strip.
The major responsibility for
the passage of the bill will fall
on the shoulders of organized
labor. Through its unions, la
Dor can make its demands
known to congress, to employ
ers, to other consumer groups,
and yes! even to doctors, in
Guiding the American Medical
Association.
The need to pass the Wagner
Murray-Dingell Bill is more
urgent now than ever, for we
are facing the readjustments of
the postwar reconversion period.
To quote from President Tru-
man in his message to Congress
on May %, 1915:
Even if reconversion pro-
ceeds rapidly, no amount of
planning makes jobs immedi-
ately available for all displaced
personnel. We must provide
maximum security to those who
have given so fully of them
selves on the fighting and pro-
duction fronts.
"The transition from war to
peace is part and parcel of the
war and we cannot shirk our
obligation to those temporarily
unemployed through no fault
of their own"
TIL e -Murray-Dingell
Bill is one of the important
means by which we can hope to
ease the transition to peacetime

American workers.

of che Political Action COMMITTEE

OPPORTUNITY
1t has often been quoted
that opportunity knocks but
once. 1t is certainly true that
when favorable circumstances
for the achievement of an OBJ
iective exists, the program
should be carried through be-
fore the situation changes.
Today millions of workers
face the immediate prospect
of unemployment. This situa-
ton raises two questions. First
is the Unemployment Of these
workers unavoidable, and sec
ond will the result be dis
astrous to the national well
fare? The first answer is no,
the second is yes.
Involuntary unemployment,
even for a temporary period
during reconversion, is not
necessary. Besides there is no
assurance that reconversion
alone will solve the employ
ment problem.
PUBLIC WORKS
There is a real need for the
immediate establishment of
government sponsored public
work projects. These projects
can fill two important func-
tions. They can provide badly
needed facilities and services.
They can provide employment
at living wages for all wage
earners who are disemployed
by the cancellation of war
contracts.
These projects should do
work which is the function of
government to provide, rather
than compete with private in
dustry. AS to the nature of
the work, it should include
a program for rural electrifica-
ton, flood control, reforestra-
ton, soil conservation, erec-
ton of public buildings and
parks construction of roads, an
adequate housing program and
all public enterprises which
contribute to the welfare of
the people.
Emergency legislation is
needed at once to get this pro-
gram under way. AS result
of war prices, taxes etc. the
American workers are not in
a financial position which
would enable them to wait for
long period while perma-
nent full employment program
is being worked out.
DO 1T NOW
Everyone should take the
time and trouble to sit down,
right now, and write their rep
resentatives in Congress urg-
ing that they do all in their
power to assure the establish
