Salary Dispute Blocks
Alexandra Service Unit

Alexandria City Manager Carl
Budwesky announced today that the
municipal information and service
center for veterans will not open
as previously announced, because
Capt. John Hoeft, who had been
named director, will not accept the
position due to a misunderstanding
over the salary.
Mr.. Budwesky said the City Coun-
Gil last night gave him the authority
to determine what steps will be
taken to aid veterans. He has de-
cided that for the present any
funds appropriated by the city will
be used to direct veterans to agen-
cies already established by the State

Alexandria and to give all possible
cooperation to those groups.

Reed Hospital yesterday afternoon
as two GIs, each of whom lost a
foot in battle, became citizens of
the country for which they fought
in the first such naturalization cere-

try, said almost in unison: Its
the happiest day of my life" The

The device is used wherever aro-

Sufficient 10 Pay
Idle for 70 Weeks
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 2s.-Stephen
Cromwell. director of Maryland's S
Unemployment Compensation Board,
said today there is enough money
to pay 100000 unemployed the max
imum benefit Of $40 per week for
20 weeks and still have small sur
plus" 2r.nr ~ f.- --5
Mr., Cromwell said that with the
reinsurance of q sl28, 600 900 reserve
behind it. the agency views the fu-
ture calmly-despite the. portentous
flood Of claims that swamped its
Offices between August II and last
Saturday.
A simple self-registration form
developed with the assistance of the
United States Employment Service
detailing the workers job registra-
ton, benefit claim and general reg
istration is proving a valuable time
saving device under pressure con-
ditions.
Mr.. Cromwell said he is less
pleased with the fact that the EN-
ployment Service. integrated with
the UCB prior to the war, Is still in
Federal hands. Thus the Job re-
ferral division and the claims unit
which naturally complement each
other, are divided into two agencies
Maryland's jobless-whether resi-
dents Of the State or not-may file
benefit claims one week after losing
their jobs. The vast majority OF
present applicants are entitled to
the $40 maximum" Mr.. Cromwell
said.
The concentration of claims in
the Baltimore area-since August
II, roughly 80 per cent registered
there-creates some additional prob
lens.
Applications for insurance bene-
fits In other industrial communi-
ties have shown no appreciable
RISE" Mr. Cromwell said.
One of the thorniest problems for
the board is the task of determin-
Ing workman's eligibility and
whether. after turning down a GER
tain job offered through USES, he
should still receive benefits, Mr..
Cromwell said.
