Veterans Urged To Apply
For Unemployment
Compensation
A joint statement issued this
morning by W. R. Curtis, Acting
Chairman, and Ralph Moody,
Chief Caunsel of the Unemploy
ment Compensation Commission
seeks to clearify the effect of a
regulation adopted by the Com
mission last Saturday with re
spect to veterans' claims.
"All returning veterans should
file claims within six months of
discharge in accordance with
the Law's provision and we urge
them to do so.
"We do not want any veteran
to forfeit inadvertently his fu
ture benefit rights in unemploy
ment insurance by failing to
apply within six months of his
military discharge. Consequent
ly, if the date on which a vet
eran files is longer than six
months after he left the armed
forces, this Commission, ud to
January 31, 1945, will still aiv
cept his claim, using the date"
of his certificate of discharge
by the Government as the date
of his application for unem
ployment compensation."
Regardless of whether of not
a veteran has occasion to draw
unemployment compensation be
nefits within this six - month
period, or whether or not tie is
able to work, he should file a
claim for unemployment insur
ance during this period so that
his right to draw benefits later
on will be established. Only in
this way can his record of past
earnings in insured employment
be credited to his account for
the future.
To make the transfer of his
earned insurance credits, a vet
eran should apply at once to a
claims-taker of the Unemploy
ment Compensation Commission,
to an interviewer of the United
States Employment Service, or
to a local Veterans' Employment
Representative. They are locat
ed at Employment Offices thr
ought the State.

PAN AMERICAN TANKER SKIPPER
DECORATED BY ADMIRAL LAND
350 Members of the Propeller Club of New York Witness
Award of the Merchant Marine Distinguished Service Medal
Comm. John Lund, master ol tanker. S. S. Han Maryland, receiving
from Rear Admiral Emory S. l and the Merchant Marine Distinguish^
Service Medal for heroic rescue at sea.
New York ? Commander John
Lund, master of the Pan American
tanker, S. S. Pan Maryland, was!
honored at a luncheon held in the
Waldorf - Astoria, and presented
with the Merchant Marine Distm- |
guished Service Medal. The prea- j
entation. on behalf of President
Roosevelt, was made by ReaV Ad
miral Emory S. Land, Chairman of j
the U. S. Maritime Commission, be
fore 350 members and guests of the :
Propeller Club of New York.
After reading the presidential
citation dealing with his heroic res
cue of 27 Norwegian seamen. Ad
miral Land paid the high compli
ment to Lund by calling him "the
salt of the earth"? "And I know of
no higher compliment which can
be bestowed on a man." he added.
Further honors were paid to
Captain Lund by James Patterson,
general marine manager of Pan
American Petroleum & Transport!
Company, who presented the skip- r
per with the original drawing of a ,
tanker on convoy at sea. Captain ,
Lund was almost as pleased with (
this drawing, executed by the fa
mous marine artist Hunter Wood.j
now of the U. S. Coast Guard, as j
he was with the medal. He said j
he would treasure them both, and
the drawing would soon hang on
the wall of his home.
Captain Lund, a native of Den
mark, started his sea career in
1916 on schooners. During World
War 1 he sailed as an ordinary
seaman on old wooden ships. He
left the Old World in 1919 and
arrived here, fittingly enough, on
July 4th, Independence Day. Also
fitting is the fact that he joined
Pan American Petroleum & Trans
port Company on October 12, 1936.
the birthday of another great
navigator. Christopher Columbus.
An interesting fact is that tne
ship, GEORG STAGE, a full
ngged Danish training ship which
gave Captain Lund his early sea
manship. is now known as the
JOSEPH CONRAD, in service in
this war training cadets for the
U. S. War Shipping Administnition
In addition to n *' ^is full of high
ranking naval and mnritr.ie ship
ping men? including Vice-Admiral
Crandell, Rear Admirals Kelly.
Steadman, Farewell, Captain Man
ning, Commander McCawley and
others, officials of the American
Oil Company and its affiliate. Pan
American Refining Corporation,
were on hand to honor Captain
Lund and Rear Admiral Land.
These included Dr. R. E. Wilson.
Charles H. Wagner, C. F. Hat
maker, E. G. McKeever. J. A. Car
roll, Jr., James Patterson, T. A.
McQuilling and others.
A feature of the luncheon was
an extemporaneous speech by Dr
Wilson, president of the oil com
panies. who surveyed the current
oil production and transportation
situation. Dr. Wilson pointed out
that today the oil industry is work
ing at the peak, and that this
country is now shipping to the
fighting fronts seventeen times as
much regular gasoline and seventy
five times as much aviation gaso
line a day as it did in the last war.
In tracing back the early dark
days of the war. Dr. Wilson said
the oil industry and the railroads
responded to the crisis caused by
the sub warfare campaign and the
shifting of coastwise tankers to
overseas service by working 24
hours a day. seven days a week
in getting the oil to the railways
tank cars, and in unloading this
oil as fast as it arrived at eastern
ports. Such movements ran as
high as 1, 000,000 barrels per day at
the peak.
Today. Dr. Wilson concluded,
transportation problems have been
largely overcome by the comple
tion of the two "big inch" pipelines
and many other smaller pipeline
projects, plus the building of many
tankers and barges. However, mili
tary demands have continued to
increase, to use up this transporta
tion about as fast as it becomes
available. He added that thanks
to the unflagging effort* of the
men of the oil industry ? ranging
from the workers in the fields to
the marine men. such as Captain
, Lund anil his crew ?no fighting
front has been without the oil and
gas needed to wage the war.
