* State U.C. Division Explains Why 2773 Hoosiers Bot Jobless Benefits
~By ROGER BUDROW
Last WEEK 2778 HOOSIERS WERE OUT OF JOBS ; drawing down job insurance from the state. How : ‘Aren’t there plenty of jobs? Then why aren’t these
rking instead of just being paid while idle?
Ideally, they could get jobs right away but actually it
n't that easy. Getting a job is nothing compared to find-
ing a place to live. Moving a family is another. job. .
And
‘naturally, a worker likes to shop around and find the best Job he can. In some cases employers didn’t want them. . And {perhaps some of these unemployed just wanted a igtieA vaca3 tion before starting in work again.
Biggest surplus of labor seems to bd around Terre Haute, where 7756
# ‘were getting. jobless pay last week.
x
Many of these had been doing cono. struction work at the Burns City munitions depot and at the ordnance plant north of Terre Haute. Others had been laid off ‘at the Brazil brick ‘plants. Henry Kaiser hired quite a few of these to in his ships iE yards. ‘ At Gary 465 were out of ey
most of them women laid off at the
sbury ordnance plant near La
_ Porte. In the Bloomington area 179
were getting unemployment pay, 73/4 of whom were Bedford residents refrom Burns City jobs. ! At Kokomo the Globe American Corp. ‘was making a switch-over in
‘ those life boats it manufactures and two kilns gave out at the American
Radiator Co, . Altogether 209 were out of work.
_ : The Lawrenceburg dist illeries
in
icouldn’t use some of its workers full time so 137 received partial unemoyment pay. There were 175 in ! A fire in a factory at Washington and the Burns City lay-
‘off added 144 to the Vincennes of‘fice benefit payroll.
"The Indiana Unémployment Compensation division says that the 2773 who’ drew benefits represents only 1/30th of 1 per cent of the 1,400,000 who during the past year ve worked in employment insured er the unemployment compensation act. And most of these will
“have jobs within a month.

TRADE ALTERED ‘BY LEND-LEASE
Permanent Industry Built In U. S. and Abroad,
Report Shows.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 (U. P). —American lend-lease dollars today are financing world-wide commercial and industrial expansion thai will make its mark upon the postwar world. Although lend-lease is essentially “war measure, and . proposals ‘for its use in the post-war era have been the subject of political criticism, it has become increasingly apparent that the full effect of some of the billions the Undited States has poured into this phase of the war will not be felt until after peace comes. The latest lend-lease report reveals that. $869,500,000 .of lend-lease funds have been spent in this country to expand production facilities, and adds that “in the post-war period these production facilities will be a permanent part of our industrial capacity.”
India Is Helped
Expansion of this type, financed by lend-lease, has noi been limited to the United States, according to the ‘report. Lend-lease has been active in India, building ‘up pert facilities and transportation and communication systems. While, as the report points out, these are steps to make India “a great supply
these new facilities will be of tre-
cially-rejuvenated India after the war, As a part of the allied program for increasing the food production capacity. of Australia and New Zealand, lend-lease has provided those nations with agricultural and canning and dehydrating machinery. The president, in transmitting the lend-lease report to congress, indicated that rehabilitation active ities in North Africa and Sicily have set a pattern for similar activities elsewhere. There was in this at least a hint that Mr. Roosevelt expected . lend-lease to play an important part in the reconstruction of axis-conquered and axis-con-trolled nations, ’
French Repay
If this reconstruction follows the North Africa pattern, it will be a big job that conceivably could make lend-lease an important cog in post-war machinery. Between December, 1942, and June, 1943, the United States sent North Africa $48,000,000 worth of flour, milk, sugar, wheat, tea, soap, matches, cotton ‘goods; ‘ clothing, farm machinery: parts, major vehicles and construction materials. While the . French have paid $25,000,000 on account for this aid, it is doubtful that they would be in a position to finance a similar but larger undertaking in continental France, nor would other prostrate European nations appear to be able to foot the bill for their own rejuvenation,
STANDARD OIL PAY RAISE IS ORDERED
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 (U. P.). ~The war labor board today ordered an increase averaging 4.6 per cent in the commissions paid to approximately 3700 Standard Oil Co. agents and drivers engaged in dis-
{ tributing petroleum products to
filling stations, reselling and consumers in 22 Midwestern cities. In 10 separate cases, the board held the increases were permitted because net earnings of the employees had not exceeded 15 per cent above their net earnings in January, 1941, the base used in the “Little Steel” formula,

The two big companies here are Libbey-Owens-Ford, mostly in flat glass, and Owens-Illinois, mostly in bottles and jars. They are not affiliated, despite the contribution to both by M. J. Owens, the inventor. Both are in the plastics business also, L-O-F with its Plaskon Co. and. O-I with -its moulding department. Both companies will be in the thick of competition. between whole as |industries, some of these so:complex nobody can guess how they will turn out. Flat glass, for example,

‘Heat’ With Glass
Glass jars-and bottles face a postwar future in which not only will metal containers return but competition will be stepped up. by.containers of plastics and new plasticcoated fibers and papers—which Toledo may ‘also make. Not forgetting an even more general competition with quick-freezing in food handling. No matter how this post-war business falls, many changes are.in store for: glass-using industries, and these generally increase the numbers of jobs, Glass has recently become -one of the most versatile of materials and it will go a long way farther. The latest suggestion for post-war living comes - from Libbey-Owens-Ford: and its “solar” houses. It furnished: the double and triple glass used in the wide windows of dwellings designed ‘by George Fred Keck, Chicago architect, in which the winter sun furnishes a supplementary heat sufficient to turn off the householder’s furnace for as much as 12 hours of a sub-zero day.
Expects to Keep Business The same company recently designed the glass kitchen which makers of stoves and other equipment are looking over in Toledo. Owens-Illinois is running at ca-
