PoyCIoims OfNovyMen Faulty
 Applications
 Being Returned
 For Corrections

The U. s. Navy Terminal Leave Disbursing Office at Great Lakes, H., which takes up the claims of Navy ex-servicemen for unused leave under the Armed Forces Leave Act of 1946, has been obliged to return to claimants approximately 30 per cent of all claims submitted because they are either incomplete or incor- rectly filled out, the Commandant, 3rd Naval District, New York City, announced today.
 Of the claims returned, 85 per cent have been due to the lack of dis charge certificates or the omission Of Notice of Separation from the U. s. Naval Service" Another fre- quent error is the failure to fill in the exact amount of AOL, AWOL and CM time, and the amount of leave taken.
 Other minor difficulties encount- cred include the lack of claimants signature, lack of notararys sig nature and submission of officers AA1S 1AOl1lDC1 O1 SGT. vice number.
 The Third Naval District also recommends the submission of pho- tostatic copies or certified true copies of supporting documents rather than the originals. The orig inals are often needed to purchase homes, to obtain G. I. loans, enroll in schools or reenlist in the Armed Forces.
 The Navy emphasized that when a claimant believes his claim is over due, he must not submit duplicate. Some delay is necessarily due to the tremendous valume of claims being received and the difficulties encoun- tered in organizing the Terminal Leave Disbursing Office and train ing new personnel, the district conn., mandant reported.
