|MMtlg fl llliMsl Describes Publicity Sigt. Ed Wolpert, eon of Mre. Veronica Wolpert, has sent several letters -home describing the wide publicity and praise which his division, the 99th, received for its part in halting t'he great drive of Von Rumetedt’e army during the middle of December. The 99th divieion had never been in a major action prior to this time and faced wave after wave of German assault forces and fought the moet gallant delaying action retreat. Their baptismal fire was one of the most stringent any new outfit ever encountered. iSgt. Wolpert mentions the time they had a clearing station set up in a house. He was on the roof putting out Red Crosses and a Jerry pilot came swooping down out Os the clouds and gave them a straffing and (bombing. No one was hunt and nothing hit by this lone pilot, who was brought down in flames. Using Sgt. Wolperit’s own words, “I don’t think he could have hit me because I was traveling faster than his bullets.” He also mentioned what a great pleasure it was to see our big tanks come in and take it. “So keep working and buying plenty of bonds” is the advice of this soldier.

Pvt. Jerald D. Barger, son of Herman J. Barger of route two, is a machine gunner with the 348th field artillery battalion, which has taken an impressive toll of German armor in its 157 ays in combat on the fifth army front in Italy.

Eichar of Willshire, O. received word from their son, S/Iggt. Wm. iEjchar, that he is' in a hospital in England andrecovering from shrapnel wounds he'sustained February 2’ wl>i|e-in-action in the Ruhr section. The sergeant’s letter was written February 24. .Sgt. Eichar is well knoiwn in this city, having visited here many times. ISgt. Alvin E.

F UomesHome I The American Legion Auxiliary presents the following information based on the GI Bill of. Rights for the benefit of returning veterans: Q. What rights does the veteran have if he is disqualified from receiving unemployment allowance under the provisions of -the G.I. Bill of Rights? A. He is fully protected under appeal rights. His first stage of appeal is to the regularly appointed referee of the Department of Employment Security. The next step is an appeal to the Readjustment Allowance Agent; with the final right of appeal to the Administrator, Veterans Administration. Q. Does thifl money have to be paid back at any time? A. The Servicemen’s Readajustment Act provides that in the event there should be authorized any allowance in the nature of adjusted compensation any benefits received by, or paid for any veteran under this Act shall be deducted from such adjusted compensation. Q. How long will it take a veteran to receive a check? A. Readjustment Allowances to unemployed are paid by the State Department of Employment Security who are in turn reimbursed by the Veterans Administration. Since a claim for a check is "presented at the end of Tile first week of unemployment following his initial claim he should get his first check within 12 days from the date of filing his initial claim. Checks to self-employed are paid in the same manner pension and fliibsistence claims are paid and are usually certified to the United States Treasury Disbursing Office on the day they are received in the Office, of the Department of Employment Security. Q. Why are some claims held up for some time?

A. If there is less than 90 days of activie service or there is indiciation that the discharge or release from service is for dishonorable reasons, opinion must be obtained from the Veterans Administration before the claim may be released for payment. o COAL NEGOTIATIONS (Continued From Page One) will be certified promptly to the war labor board. The WLB is charged with preventing work stoppages seriously theatening war qirpduction. Seizure of the 15,d<M) bituminous mines may be ‘ ‘necessary to achieve this objective in' the co*al dispute."
