Statement Clarifies Situation
 Application for
 Benefit Payments
 Must Observe Lew

In an article released Sept. {, le46, to Connecticut's newspapers and radio stations by the Employ ment Security Division, Unennploy- ment Compensation Department, through the office of Acting Diree- tor James J. Graham, sounding Q warning to any part time workers receiving full wec!'y compensation checks, parts of Se release were ambiguous and made the existing law covering unemployment ceni- pensation confusing to the general public.
 Reports have been received by the Department, MT. Graham said, whereby some out-of.work claim ants are receiving their full weekly compensation checks but actually are working Q day or two . week for business concerns, and no re- port of this is being made to the Department.
 The Unemployment Compensation Law reads as follows: Each em- pioyer, whether or not otherwise subject to this chapter. shall keep accurate records of employment as defined in subsection (a) of section l334e, containing such information as the administrator may by regul- ation prescribe in order to effectuate the purpose of this chapter. Such records shall be open to, and avail able for, inspection and copying by the administrator or his authorized repreSe, e,ltatives at any reasonable time and as often as may be neces- sayy. The administrator may require from any employer, whether or not otherwise subject to this chapter, any sworn or unsworn reports with respect to persons employed by him which are necessary for the eftec- tive administration of this chapter. !"
 In summary, all employers should immediately notify the Department by means of an accession notice when full time or part time ena- ployees have been hired. The law includes definite penalties for both employer and employee who try to wiltully and knowingly evade the aes,
 MT. Graham explained that while farming and domestic jobs are exempt from paying contributions into the Unemployment Ccmpsnsa' ton Fund, that all employers, dis regarding any class distinction must notify the Unemployment Compensation Department when any person is hired, whether full or part time.
 Any authorized representative oi the Unemployment Compensatior Department will be glad to give correct information to doubtful eEli- ployers or employees on this subject

 Number of Nomes

Because the petition calling for referendum postponing for 10 years the effective date of the city pension law required 22S names for Its filing last night by the CitizanS committee, the pension law aTaend- ment will not appear on the citys young machines ct the coming elec~ ton on November 6. The required number of names, according to law. Is 7,600,
 Edward N, Ryan. of the Citizens Committee, however. declared last night that the petitions would be circulated to obtain signature of 2S per cent of the registered voters to force a special election in le46 on Che pension law and any proposed amendments.
 A heated controversy arose yes- terday over the deadline date for the filing of the petition, Corp. Counsel Maurice Healey held that the petition could not be filed after midnight Thursday, while S1r. Ryan insisted Friday was the last day 1t could be filed
 Although the Waterbury Amer. 1can reported yesterday afternoon that Corp. Counsel Maurice Healey stated the city clerk had been or- dered to refuse to accept the peti- tion if filed, the corporation coun- sel vigorously denied the assertion when questioned by The Democrat at press hour yesterday.
 Mayor John Monagan Thursday night vetoed the much disputed resolution passed by the board of aldermen. It would have resulted in a charter amendment exempting police and Aremen from the pension law.

1 props from under the ruling classes,
 Potsdam merely told them that industries useful for making war would be destroyed, but that essen- tiai peace time industries would remain, having access to raw ma terials without control of same. That can have . broad application.
 If japan's heavy industries are wiped out, her economic dominance of the Far East might disappear. The void could be filled by trans" ferring such industries to . peace inclined, united China. It Is . weapon which may well bring the Japanese overlordS to terms and persuade them to share things with their people.

 The political and economic dis armament" of Japan appears to be the major problem ahead of the Allies.
 Military disarmament, physical occupation and subsequent policing seem, by comparison, to Dc fairly simple. That is 50 in spite of the fact that some 3,000,000 soldiers must lay down their arms in Japan proper and nearly %,000, 900 abroad. most of the latter will have to be returned home.
 Jap Army Strong
 The presence in the crowded islands of SO many members of an army which was not subjected to mass defeat on the field of battle, would ordinarily present . serious menace.
 Gen. Douglas Macarthur, supreme commander for the Allies. does not show alarm. Latest indications are that he plans to carry out the occupation with not more than 500,0o0 American troops, possibly fewer, plus some from the other Allies. There will be no mass oc. cupation, as in Germany, but rather the taking over of key cities and bases
 The long, narrow geographic na- ture of Japan makes this feasible. Backed by the worlds greatest cons centration of air and sea power, Macarthur need not fear Q SliasSed Japanese uprising.
 The Japanese show no signs oi planning armed resistance, in any event. The ruling classes have more subtle ideas. Their outward sub mission masks . clear intention oi preserving their grip on Japanese national life, to be exercised aS strongly as ever when the Allie' withdraw, as eventually they must The Japanese have oriental patiencC and cunning In that regard.
 Fuedal System
 The real Allied problem is tt break down the feudal system which has oppressed the Japanese masses for centuries, and the military economic clique which has iattenet of the land in more recent years
